Dynamic technological activities of analysis, evaluation, and synthesis can highlight complex relationships within integrated processes to target improvement and ultimately yield improved processes. Likewise, the identification of existing process limitations, potential capabilities, and subsequent contextual understanding are contributing factors that yield measured improvement. This case study examines process management practices of balanced scorecard and dashboards to monitor and improve the perioperative process, aligned to overall hospital goals at strategic, tactical, and operational levels. Based on a 120-month longitudinal study of an academic medical center, this study investigates how integrated information systems and business analytics can improve perioperative efficiency and effectiveness across patient quality of care, stakeholder satisfaction, clinical operations, and financial cost effectiveness. Implications and/or limitations are also discussed.
Based on a 143-month longitudinal study of an academic medical center, this paper examines operations management practices of continuous improvement, workflow balancing, benchmarking, and process reengineering within a hospital's perioperative operations. Specifically, this paper highlights data-driven efforts within perioperative sub-processes to balance overall patient workflow by eliminating bottlenecks, delays, and inefficiencies. This paper illustrates how dynamic technological activities of analysis, evaluation, and synthesis applied to internal and external organizational data can highlight complex relationships within integrated processes to identify process limitations and potential process capabilities, ultimately yielding balanced patient workflow through data-driven perioperative process improvement. Study implications and/or limitations are also included.
This study examines the development and use of balanced scorecard metrics as key performance indicators within each stage of the perioperative process to enable business process management across the entire process to gauge performance and target improvement opportunities. The identification of existing limitations, potential capabilities, and the subsequent contextual understanding are contributing factors toward perioperative improvement. This paper identifies how dynamic technological activities of analysis, evaluation, and synthesis applied to internal and external organizational data can highlight complex relationships within integrated hospital processes to address root causes rather than symptoms and ultimately yield improved capabilities. This case study investigates how integrated information systems can identify, qualify, and quantify perioperative performance indicators to measure improvement based on a 157-month longitudinal study of a large, 1,157 registered-bed teaching hospital. The theoretical and practical implications and/or limitations of this study's results are also discussed with respect to practitioners and researchers alike.

This study examines business process management practices applied to monitor, measure, and improve a hospital's perioperative supply workflow and corresponding inventory management. This paper identifies how dynamic technological activities of analysis, evaluation, and synthesis applied to internal and external organizational data can highlight complex relationships within integrated hospital processes to target opportunities for improvement and ultimately yield improved process capabilities. The identification of existing limitations, potential capabilities, and the subsequent contextual understanding are contributing factors that yield measured improvement within a hospital's perioperative process. Based on a 10-year longitudinal study of a large 909 registered-bed teaching hospital, this case study investigates the impact of integrated information systems to identify, qualify, and quantify business analytics used to improve perioperative efficiency and effectiveness across patient quality of care, operational efficiency, and financial cost effectiveness.The theoretical and practical implications and/or limitations of this study's results are also discussed with respect to practitioners and researchers alike.
This case study investigates data integrity and quality within the perioperative process via embedded quality control check (QCC) rules, used within a business process management framework to support patient care documentation, performance reporting, patient billing, data analysis, and regulatory agency audits. The study identifies specific perioperative nursing care documentation as electronic medical records and demonstrates how QCC rules, an embedded QCC process, and QCC rule violation reconciliation is applicable to ensuring data integrity and quality within integrated hospital information systems. Based on a 166month longitudinal study of a large 1,157 registered-bed academic medical center, this study provides a priori business process management examples of data integrity and quality within the perioperative process. Recognizing existing limitations, potential capabilities, and the subsequent contextual understanding are contributing factors that yield measured improvement. Theoretical and practical implications and/or limitations of this study's results are also discussed.
