Merging healthcare organizations need a business plan of operational efficiency (BPOE) — a comprehensive, action-oriented system integration plan, according to an article on the Hospitals & Health Networks website.
The most effective BPOEs are developed from the ground up, the article said. The key is to capitalize on the operational strengths of each organization and each department.
Aspects of A BPOE should include:
• identifying and quantifying specific affiliation-related cost-saving opportunities within each department
• identifing barriers to achieving the efficiencies
• identifying the resource and time requirements necessary to implement the action plans
A well-designed business plan guards against inertia by providing specific, achievable integration goals and action plans
