A leading soft drink company was not achieving the full potential in their performance improvement efforts. Efforts were fragmented.

Our customer, a major hospital chain in the Arabian Gulf, was experiencing a high rate of isolation intensive care unit (ICU) stays due to the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). There had been many ideas over a two-year period to stem the rising tide of patients being admitted to the ICU, but nothing had made a substantial difference. An Oriel STAT A MATRIX senior facilitator led a team of hospital staff to address this key problem, and they identified a number of potential causes. The team then used a Lean healthcare approach and pinpointed one issue that, if addressed, could reduce the problem substantially. By focusing on this issue, the hospital was able to save over $1M in annual unnecessary costs.
