  • Title: How to design a horizontal patient-focused hospital.
    Author: Murphy EC, Ruflin P.
    Journal: Health Care Strateg Manage; 1993 May; 11(5):17-9. PubMed ID: 10125594.
    Abstract:
    Work Imaging is an executive information system for analyzing the cost effectiveness and efficiency of work processes and structures in health care. Advanced Work Imaging relational database technology allows managers and employees to take a sample work activities profile organization-wide. This is married to financial and organizational data to produce images of work within and across all functions, departments, and levels. The images are benchmarked against best practice data to provide insight on the quality and cost efficiency of work practice patterns, from individual roles to departmental skill mix to organization-wide service processes.
