Clinical Business Excellence

The definition of business excellence is: a state of organizational performance achieved through the successful integration of a variety of operational and strategic elements that enables an organization to become one of the best in its field. Excellence is initially evident when an organization rises above its competitors, and it is usually measured by the ability to sustain a leading or significant market share. The strategic and operational elements contributing to excellence include the organization’s approach to total quality management, quality assurance, quality awards and quality standards, core competency, benchmarking, customer service, the balanced scorecard, and leadership. Taken altogether, these components should produce an organizational approach to the generation, development, and delivery of products and services that is better, cheaper, and smarter than that of the competition. Attempts at becoming an excellent organization have spawned terms such as best practice, best-in-class, and world class manufacturing and are usually associated with a holistic approach to competitive advantage.

So clinical business excellence takes this definition and applies it to clinical settings. Medicology has a centre of excellence in this area. They are already running courses to help the NHS staff develop on both a professional and a personal level. Now they are holding a conference on, yes you guessed it, Clinical Business Excellence. This conference will be held on the 29th June 2010 at Park Crescent Conference Centre. For more details see clinicalbusiness.co.uk.
