theoretical footing and practical guidanceon how to deploy a
variety of operations management tools, such as find-ing causes of
variability, managing bed capacity, and smoothing electivesurgeries
to assess and improve patient flow. Physicians, operations
man-agers, and hospital executives will greatly benefit from the
real-world experiences discussed in this book, which now helps
ensure optimal patient care.”

moment for all of us delivering health care. Meeting the

and Managing Patient Flowin Hospitals: Strategies and Solutions,

achieve both these goals. Havingstarted to use the proven
assessment and improvement techniquesdescribed in the book to
manage patient flow, we have started to seereal benefits.”—Jane
