Standardization & Optimization Process (SOP)
OVERVIEW
The Standardization & Optimization Process (SOP) was launched to standardize processes between the two hospital campuses, optimize care for our patients, and implement processes based on best practice and innovation. These processes will eventually dictate the design of a new state-of-the-art acute care hospital.
SOP GOALS
- Improve the patient experience at WRH
- Strengthen the WRH team so staff can flow seamlessly between campuses
- Standardize care so patients receive the same outstanding care at both campuses
- Create a foundation of best practices that will dictate the design of a new, state-of-the-art acute care facility
- Identify and implement best practices at both campuses, in all programs and departments
OUR TEAM
A multidisciplinary team of clinical and non-clinical staff including nurses, doctors, industrial engineers, MBA’s, change management experts and analysts who are committed to working together to create outstanding patient experiences through best practice and innovation.
