Goal Setting for Excellence
Goal setting is an important exercise for every hospital—it’s the difference between going somewhere and ending up somewhere. Goal Setting for Excellence is a product of nationwide healthcare industry expertise, robust databases, and experience with more than 1,100 hospitals. It provides:
- The ability to hold every manager accountable with specific, challenging (yet attainable) goals down to the unit/department level
- Goal vs. Performance tracking—every department will know where they are, where they need to be, and where they are going
