Mission:

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?
“When our hospital committed to the Baldrige journey, we knew that we needed additional resources and support from experts. The guidance and assistance provided by Jim and Wayne was key to conducting our assessment and site visit more effectively and in far less time than we could have accomplished on our own.” Beth Rowett, M.A., M.H.A., C.P.H.Q, Vice President, 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

A Winning Game Plan for QI
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.
