Comments on: In My Opinion, It’s Tinker Bell Dust! http://takingthehelloutofhealthcare.com/blog/2009/06/04/in-my-opinion-its-tinker-bell-dust/ The new blog of F. Nicholas (Nick) Jacobs, FACHE, author of Taking the Hell Out of Healthcare Sat, 31 Jul 2010 12:30:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Dale Wolf http://takingthehelloutofhealthcare.com/blog/2009/06/04/in-my-opinion-its-tinker-bell-dust/comment-page-1/#comment-404 Dale Wolf Mon, 08 Jun 2009 18:58:34 +0000 http://takingthehelloutofhealthcare.com/blog/?p=1015#comment-404 In America, compensation drives behavior in all industries -- healthcare included. But no one ever seems willing to tackle the real beast. But even when dancing with this rather gigantic change, we need to think through the unintended consequences before taking action. Additionally, we all know there is a fair amount of waste in all organizations that employ humans -- again, including healthcare. Good labor cost management and case management can do a lot to creating more efficient and effective hospitals. Healthcare reform will force providers to take a hard look at organizational fitness and patient flow. In America, compensation drives behavior in all industries — healthcare included.
