HMC's newest tool for hospital performance improvement are the HMC IdeaTreesTM.
HMC IdeaTreesTM help managers cut costs and improve performance on a particular topic, or "Tree", with general to specific ideas and aids, from the "trunk" to the "leaves." With this new tool, your managers easily move forward in thinking about their cost management issues with pre-built searches of the HMC KnowledgeWebTM for relevant ideas and experiences from others - taken from successes, surveys, iConferences, abstracts, and experience with the topic.
For example, if you were the Surgical Services manager looking to improve your cost performance, should you look at core staffing, skill mix composition...what exactly? The Surgical Services IdeaTree presents you with improvement pathways, organizes your thoughts, and finds all of the relevant good ideas, surveys, iConference abstracts and summaries that are relevant to you. And asking your own follow up questions is as simple as clicking the networking request link in the HMC KnowlegeWebTM. HMC then goes to work to access the right managers to help you succeed.
