Our Services
Our Healthcare Delivery Solutions team offers both short-term and multiyear engagements, with services tailored to meet your needs.
Organizational Board-to-Bedside Assessments
Our Board-To-Bedside Assessment method is based on the peer-to-peer model that the nuclear energy industry has used for decades to achieve high performance in the face of complexity and constant risk. Over several days, a team of Johns Hopkins experts performs an on-site assessment of patient safety, quality and patient experience.
We meet with leaders, quality improvement staff members, front-line clinicians and others to assess your organizational environments and priorities and identify potential areas of improvement.
