Healthcare

Global demand for health care services has increased to the breaking point. Costs continue to rise with no end in sight, and patient surveys suggest that the quality of care is deteriorating. Health care service providers, medical device and equipment manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies face significant challenges.

Leading institutions and companies choose Argo to transform their business and operating models to achieve sustainable levels of operational excellence, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness that positively affect the patient experience and outcomes.

Typical results we have achieved for our clients:

• Decreased lead times for procedures and treatment, leading to improved patient wait times
• Improved utilization and scheduling of tasks, staff and procedures leading to increased productivity and throughput
• Increased asset utilization and decreased wait times
• Standardization of patient plans to improve quality and pace of care
• Visual management of cases to improve flow and quality
• Improved inventory practices through implementation of statistical inventory modeling
• Improved reimbursement, billing practices and A/R management

A typical implementation for a 300-bed hospital can reduce capital investment by over $10 million a year, reduce inventory costs by 20-40%, streamline bill-collection times, free thousands of square feet of floor space while increasing procedure capacity by 30%, slash staff walking by dozens of miles a day, reduce patient stays by 10% and increase patient satisfaction.
