Perspective Of Balanced Scorecard In The Healthcare Industry

Benchmarking for clinical performance measurement involves collecting and reporting data on practices’ clinical processes and outcomes. Measuring clinical performance can create buy-in for improvement work in the practice and enables the practice to track their improvements over time. This information should also be used to identify and prioritize improvement goals and to track progress toward those goals. In addition, these data should be used to monitor maintenance of changes already made ("Module 7. measuring," 2013). Benchmarking can also be utilized to do a comparison between other health care organizations, provide areas where training could improve staff functions.

By using performance measurements, the facility can see what they are doing wrong and in what ways they can improve service the patients next visit to ensure their voice was heard by the facility.

A balanced scorecard was created and implemented at a clinic at the Oregon Health and Science University Family Medicine. The article “Performance Enhancement Using a Balanced Scorecard in a Patient-centered Medical Home” discusses how the balanced scorecard was developed, how it was used, and how it improved performance.

BAE decided to implement the balanced scorecard, which would orient the firm's mission and vision around four different perspectives internal operations, customer, financial and learning & growth (Norton & Kaplan, 2013).

Also to track the effectiveness of the recruitment methods and retention levels as well as employee satisfaction and performance (www.stengelsolutions.com, 2016). I would also use a way to measure marketing effectiveness, this will help with the groundwork for any future plans, and the marketing results can be measured in how many patients are being seen on a day to day basis or by reduced complaints that are received with the care provided. Using a balanced scorecard will help Balanced to translate the hospitals mission statement and overall business strategy into more specific, measurable goals and to monitor the organization's performance on how to achieve the goals. Initiating patient and employee satisfaction surveys will also be implemented throughout the first year to see how the facilities are doing and can demonstrate that a practice is interested in quality and improvement of services

The observed company continually experienced difficulties producing new and accurate data concerning their existing measurement towards non-financial indicators, especially in their customer and employee perspectives. The author intends to analyze the connection between the company’s two business perspectives (customer perspective and learning and growth perspective) and the balanced scorecard (BSC) approach. The authors utilized an interventionist research approach to analyze and interpret the effects of a BSC implementation into an Italian company. The author, along with a team of researchers, continually collaborated with and observed upper level managers of the company during the design and implementation stages. Therefore, direct observation and the analysis of internal documents were used as the main sources of information for both the design and implementation stages of the study. Companies, academics, and business professionals interested in the relationship and study into the design and implementation of a BSC approach and its effects on a company’s intellectual capital measurement.The author’s interventionist approach intended to analyze the company’s BSC approach provided key information into the partially successful implementation and the reasoning behind the resistance to alter existing measurements of non-financial indicators. Without the author and his team directly observing and cataloging the interactions of top managers in their internal meetings,
