“Our entire facility is digital. No paper, no film, no medical records. Nothing. And it’s all integrated—from the lab to X-ray to records to physician order entry. Patients don’t have to wait for anything. The information from the physician’s
office is in registration and vice versa. The referring physician is immediately sent an email telling him his
patient has shown up. … It’s wireless in-house. We have 800 notebook computers that are wireless. Physicians
can walk around with a computer that’s pre-programmed. If the physician wants, we’ll go out and wire their house so they can sit on the couch and connect to the network.
They can review a chart from 100 miles away.”

“There is a misconception that supportive interactions require more staff or more time and are therefore more costly. Although
labor costs are a substantial part of any hospital budget, the interactions themselves add nothing to the budget.
Kindness is Kindness is freefree.. Listening to patients or answering their
questions costs nothing. It can be argued that negative interactions—alienating patients, being non-responsive to their needs or limiting their sense of control—can be very costly. …
Angry, frustrated or frightened patients may be combative, withdrawn and less cooperative—requiring far more time than it would have taken to interact with them initially in a
positive way.” —Putting Patients First, Susan Frampton, Laura Gilpin, Patrick Charmel

A review of Jack and Suzy Welch’s Winning claims there are but two key differentiators that set GE “culture” apart from the herd:
First: Separating financial forecasting and performance measurement. Performance measurement based, as it usually is, on budgeting leads to an epidemic of gaming the system. GE’s performance measurement is divorced from budgeting—and instead reflects how you do relative to your past performance and relative to competitors’ performance; i.e., it’s about how you actually do in the context of what happened in the real world, not as compared to a gamed-abstract plan developed last year.
Second: Putting Putting HRHR on a par with on a par with finance and finance and marketing.marketing.
