title: The clinical resource management model.
abstract: The clinical resource management model is a highly successful method of redesigning operations to focus on reducing costs while improving quality. In these dynamic days in our medical centers it is important to maintain quality standards while implementing cost reductions. Through careful analysis of our practice we can learn from our best practicing providers and build systems to replicate their example. By improving our processes of care we meet the expectation of the public and our regulators through process improvement in a collaborative, multidisciplinary manner.
