School or Life? - Wednesday, September 01, 2010

 TOCH Engagement Typical Results:

  • 40% Reduction in Emergency Department Wait Times
  • 25% Increase in OR/Surgical Suite Utilization
  • 14.9% Reduction in Surgical LOS
  • 20.9% Reduction in Medical LOS

In our present global economy, we're all tasked with doing more without significant additional costs.  TOCH, Inc. is a contingency-based healthcare consultancy with a very unique core philosophy/methodology.  Much like a physician's exam, our model reveals the core causes of less than optimum operation - not just the symptoms that most healthcare consultancies address.  We can help you focus on the area or areas yielding the most effective and timely outcomes.  This translates to the ability to realize more towards the goal of your facility or system. Our solutions are customized to your facility. We embrace your differences and will never offer a canned approach used in other facilities or industries.  Where these principles have been applied to other healthcare operations, results have been swift and dramatic. We're confident our methods will yield the same or better results in your facility!  Learn how treating the WHOLE Patient (systemic, facility-wide - not just ED and OR) has a much greater impact on your improvement initiatives. Even if you're currently engaged with Lean or Six Sigma improvement projects in your facilities, learn how ToC can increase the yield from these localized exercises by as much as three fold ... Contact us today to launch your facility on a Process of Ongoing Improvement!

Why TOC?

The Gartner Group recognizes the need for TOC:

"The key to growing innovation is to optimize the overall performance of the value chain by improving the components themselves and the links between them. This requires an understanding of the Theory of Constraints  which is based on the implicit assumption that all systems are comprised of individual steps that perform a value-added function, which ultimately results in some kind of outcome."
