N2  - "Presenting new approaches, tools, and perspectives, this book facilitates the effective management of the complexities and "dynamism" unique to health care operations. It introduces healthcare managers and professionals to state-of-the-art concepts designed to improve both process- and dynamic systems-focused performance and develop appropriately dynamic process-level solutions to complex systems level issues. Employing common methodologies such as Lean, Sigma Six, and CQI, the "Dynamic Capacity Management" approach addresses the analysis and improvement of hospital- and department-wide capacity, patient flow, resource allocation, and performance optimization" - Provided by publisher
