Exploring the economic aspects of patient focused restructuring.
Six "general truths" form our economic foundation for Patient Focused restructuring. They address the level and timing of the costs and savings associated with implementing Patient Focused Care. They have not always been anticipated nor welcomed by hospitals pursuing Patient Focused Care, but they have always appeared on those doorsteps just the same. This first edition of DOLLARS AND SENSE shares this foundation with you as the stepping stone to further exploration of the economic aspects of Patient Focused restructuring. This foundation establishes the general "rules of the game" by which your own Patient Focused Care program will be played. Know these rules and you will have within your control the ability to bend and stretch them to suit your particular needs and to maximize the financial gains your hospital achieves through Patient Focused restructuring.
