Healthcare
In Pursuit of the Triple Aim.
America’s health care organizations are increasingly being measured by their ability to deliver on three critical objectives, or the “Triple Aim”:
- Improve the health of the population
- Enhance the patient experience of care (including quality, access, and reliability)
- Reduce, or at least control, the per capita cost of care
Guidon can help your organization meet these and other complex challenges to improve the overall patient experience.
Our team of health care professionals has years of real-world experience working in hospitals, clinics and large provider networks to implement horizontal clinical integration, develop new models of health care, develop and deploy highly efficient processes and drive rapid, measurable improvements in cost, quality, and service.
Working alongside our clients and their partners to understand patients’ perspectives and needs, we’ll develop your organization’s unique Clinical Care Value Stream Model – an innovative, powerful approach to documenting the current state of care, identifying value and waste, and providing a roadmap for improvement.
Through this systemic, patient-centric “diagnosis” of your current system, you’ll clearly understand the breakdowns, IT and information gaps, potential failure modes, opportunities and priorities for improvement – allowing us to deploy a rapid, sustainable solution.
Guidon’s health care team has worked in and with clinics, hospitals and other organizations to overcome a wide range of challenges including:
- Strategic development of horizontal clinical integration and its subsequent deployment
