I believe quality care and cost-efficiency can go hand in hand by focusing on minimally invasive techniques, faster recovery times, and compassionate, patient-centered care that truly makes a difference.

Improving quality means improving processes where leakages are happening and it requires training of staff on digital health technology and it's adoption and also try to take it slow and give some time

Once goals or issues are identified, begin by gathering the voice of the customer, addressing staff concerns, reviewing data, and identifying inefficiencies such as redundant steps or expired/unnecessary inventory. Develop a streamlined process that leverages available resources while prioritizing clinical needs, patient safety, and outcomes. For complex projects, adopt a phased approach—implement small, manageable changes, solicit feedback, and iteratively refine the process until the desired outcomes are achieved.

In my experience, improving hospital processes while cutting costs requires a balance of efficiency and patient focus. When you implement EHR systems, it streamlines patient data management, reducing errors and saving staff valuable time. Adopting lean principles could also help you identify wasteful steps in admission processes, speeding up workflows without sacrificing care quality.
