Introduction, value-based healthcare and design studies
Introduction HSOM
HSOM = analysis, design, planning and evaluation of all necessary steps to
deliver services to clients in health care. Planning and control the
processes, make sure adequate resources are in place to provide an
regulations
acceptable service.
input operation
1 output
resources
, Operation = what transforms input in output.
Input: pt with need/wish; output: pt with added value.
Resources: are used and can be re-used, they are not lost (staff and tools
are resource, prothese is input). Regulations: e.g. guidelines.
Activity (e.g. administering a pt) = task + task + task…
Operation = act + act + act… to create value. Types of operations:
alteration (transform pt), transportation, inspection, storage (in health
care: waiting for pt or professional).
Process (pt journey, though not organized this way!, lack of ownership,
e.g. after + iFOB) = op + op + op (to produce a service)…
The Erlang or Gamma distribution (a skew distribution characterised by an
early peak and a long tail to the right) is often used to arrive at a good fit
with service distributions in health care. Long tail: variation or bad
organizational logistics (doorstroomprobleem)?
Management is e.g. payment and
purchasing goods, ancillary is e.g.
cleaning and maintenance.
Resource performance output
measures are for monitoring
efficiency and effectiveness.
Role of OM is to achieve an
acceptable balance between
different types of output.
External factors affecting OM
decisions:
- System regulation. Incentive of
‘market’: invest in new
technologies, attract more pts,
reduce costs per case. Incentive NHS: ensure budgetary targets are not
exceeded, invest in monitoring key resource areas (OR, beds)
- Aging population, advances is technology, pt knowledge through
Internet.
Internal factors: who is actually managing the system, consensus among
different actors.
Care professionals are also client to OM processes; e.g., a doctor
requesting an X-ray for a pt. The product provided then is information.
Worklist OM:
1. Identify key operations
2. Understand how operations use resources
3. Identify the chain of operations, how are they linked
4. Establish control systems
Unit = department that performs operations of the same op-type (e.g.
lung)
