Work reengineering: the benefits and the barriers, an analytical review.
Hospital executives who are considering patient centered care (PCC) delivery models are undertaking a fascinating and sometimes frightening journey. Although the benefits are many, several barriers are often encountered on the way to achieving successful results. Many hospitals begin this initiative with enthusiasm and optimism because it makes so much sense. However, fear of change can set in when barriers overcome the motivation to proceed. This paper explores both the benefits and strategies for successfully overcoming the barriers. In the final analysis, each hospital's executive team must answer the call to this challenge. Their decisions hold the future of their hospital in the balance.
