Optimizing Healthcare Efficiency: A Comprehensive Approach to Enhancing Clinical and Administrative Operations.
Master Essay, University of Pittsburgh.
Abstract
Improvement of organizational efficiency in healthcare is paramount to providing patient- centered care. In the current healthcare landscape, the imperative to enhance operational efficiency has become increasingly pronounced amidst growing complexities and demands. Removing inefficiencies and waste is paramount to ensuring optimal resource utilization and delivering high- quality, cost-effective care to patients. In January of 2023, I joined the UPMC Department of Medicine and have since participated in three important projects that were significant in addressing these inefficiencies. The projects involve creating organizational charts for hospital-based clinics (HBCs) and non-HBCs, carrying out the Pitt Operations Survey, and implementing workflow analysis. This study illustrates through these initiatives how effective it is to use tools like organizational charts, workflows, and surveys to improve organizational efficiency in healthcare settings. The results highlight the importance of using technology and data-driven strategies in today's changing healthcare environment to solve operational issues and enhance patient care outcomes.
