Management Metrics- Demand Logistics and Errors
Posted by: Robin Scott at 12:49PM EST on November 7, 2008

The terms "demand logistics" and "demand errors" are mentioned in the slide presentation as potential metrics for evaluating the effectiveness of management.  Can someone elaborate as to how these two terms are defined?

If during a community attended strategic planning retreat (for long term planning) your community wants from your HCO something that the HCO feels is not needed and cannot be cost effectiv e but would "look good" to have but not something you know would be good for the hospital at large.  Do you discuss this then or put it on your strategic plan to deal with at a later time.  Could be you have looked at this issue before so already know the answers.

Is it only applied at the strategic level, or should departmental and service line functions also have a better understanding of its basics?
