Shaw Resources assists healthcare organizations to identify and implement operational improvements in service quality and cost effectiveness utilizing a patient/customer focused analytical methodology.

What do our clients say?
“A hospital should not undertake an initial Baldrige application without the type of expert consulting support that Jim and Wayne provided to the Children's Hospital of Orange County.” Beth Rowett, Executive Director of Quality, Children's Hospital of Orange County

"It gave us the breakthrough perspective on how the organizations functions. It enabled us to focus on the key processes as the patient sees them. It is not a fad - we are still using the system today." — Dr. David Druker, COO, Palo Alto Medical Foundation

    Processes from a Customer's Perspective
    Using our methodology, healthcare providers will see their organization as if they were standing their customers shoes.

    Typically, management's view is from the perspective of the organization chart, and internal view of the hierarchy.

    From the perspective of the patients/customers, however what matters are the quality of the services or outputs they want from the organization and their experiences obtaining clinical and administrative services.
