Introduction
Synopsis: This is a complex situation in an organization that has had a difficult history (e.g., mismanagement, nurses’ strike, low patient satisfaction, problems in the ED-lifeline to the hospital).
Newcastle lacks well-defined organizational and IT strategies. The ED has a unique set of challenges, and it serves as the lifeline to hospital admissions, with over half of all admissions entering through the ED.
Patient satisfaction in the ED is low, patients complain of long waits, physicians have been resistant to change, and the data available within the ED to track performance measures has been either unreliable or non-existent. (Pages 512 through 515, Wager, Lee, and Glaser text)
This case study illustrates a real challenge faced by many hospitals. There are a number of underlying factors that contribute to the perception of poor quality. Some of these issues are captured within the case and will need to be carefully examined.
