Hospitals can use a new rubric to evaluate emerging skill sets for lasting impact. This framework helps administrators identify valuable innovations, like human factors engineering, for improved hospital performance and return on investment.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Administration
  • Industrial Engineering
  • Human Factors Engineering

Background:

  • Hospitals continuously seek innovative methods to enhance patient care, safety, quality, and access.
  • Identifying impactful new skill sets versus transient trends is a significant challenge for hospital administrators.
  • Evaluating the return on investment for new disciplines is crucial for sustainable operational improvements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a structured rubric for investigating emerging skill sets in healthcare.
  • To assess the potential of new disciplines to support hospital operations and quality improvement.
  • To determine if new skill sets offer a sufficient return on investment to justify their adoption.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a rubric to evaluate new skill sets.
