Evidence Favoring the Management Engineering Style of Process Improvement
We could continue to tell you of all the benefits of maintaining a ME-PI presence in your hospital or healthcare organization. But you needn't take just our word for it.
"Management Engineering was an essential aspect of the decision making process within senior management at the University of Wisconsin Hospital & Clinics. Staffing, work simplification, space design and allocation, forms review, make versus buy, automation, and statistical analyses, etc. provided by the Management Engineering Department were invaluable in creating and maintaining a high level of efficiency and morale throughout the organization. We considered Management Engineering to be internal consultant's to the management and staff of the hospital."
...Les Brower, Senior Vice President (Retired) Circa 2000-2001
"Since 1964 when I began my healthcare career, I witnessed the use of ME at university hospitals in Pittsburgh and the resulting productivity and cost improvements. This led me to apply ME techniques for value analysis in product procurement, improving the performance of Central Processing, and reengineering Materials Management to promote continuous process improvement. When I headed up a Group Purchasing program and due to my high regard for ME, I formed contracts with ME consultants for use by smaller hospitals that could not afford an ME program of their own. The future of healthcare, with large targets of combined Technology and Management Engineering concepts, will produce the Quality and Patient Safety the whole world seeks."

"Process Improvement has clearly been a key part to quality improvement when working with physicians on clinical issues. Engaging additional resources whose entire education is in using engineers, allows an organization to apply rigor to many business and clinical processes. Process improvement has helped us move outcomes in finance, service and quality."
