Our most important topics
Patient-centric infrastructure design
Hospital construction is a life-changing event: improvement opportunities for patient experience, staff satisfaction and effectiveness are immense. Without cultural change these benefits are put at risk – resulting in dissatisfaction, inefficiencies and high operating cost.
We have developed a concept to align architecture, organizational development and technology: we call it Integrated Facility Design
Patient first
In healthcare the patient always comes first.
Leading hospitals always put the patient’s well-being as their top priority goal. Quality medical services and patient safety, as well as the overall patient experience, are paramount.
Book: The Better Hospital
With “The Better Hospital – Excellence Through Leadership and Innovation” by Daniel Walker, for the first time the meaning of lean healthcare has been summarized between two book covers.
This book leads its readers into the “Lean Hospital” world step by step and at the same time comprehensibly and accurately shows how the lean hospital is successfully implemented, to ease the introduction to this world.
