What are the Performance Acceleration partnerships?
Performance Acceleration partnerships enable hospitals to improve outcomes across specific, mission-critical metrics through employee-led project work. We offer three distinct partnerships:
- Finance Series
- Service Series
- Quality Series
We help organizations achieve measureable results on key executive-defined initiatives by mobilizing a group of leaders to design and lead projects that meet those goals. Targeted classroom learning, project resources, and a robust accountability and support infrastructure further ensure measurable improvements.
Our Services
Regardless of topical focus, each partnership includes the following services.
Focused performance improvement projects
Each engagement begins with an onsite executive summit to define project goals and make partnership decisions to support achievement of the defined objectives
