“Medical Center Achieves $2.5 Million Financial Benefit in First Year
Surgical Business Success Stories from SMI Group
Based on benchmark comparisons, excessive case times and labor/materials costs were identified at this midwest academic medical center, comprised of two non-university teaching hospitals. In addition, significant potential for increasing the medical center’s surgical market penetration with focused direction was identified.
This Midwest academic medical center (64 ORs across three sites) sought SMI Group’s assistance in early 2001 with consolidation of its CV program onto a single campus.
SMI Group followed up twice (November 2001, January 2003, and November 2004 – November 2005) providing interim Perioperative leadership and consulting support to institute operational improvements designed to increase market share and replace the transferred CV caseload.
