Innovation Lecture 2009

Services to support complex decision making

In collaboration with Broca & Wernicke, STBY investigated the complex decision making processes within hospitals on the application of surgical treatments. We interviewed people throughout the organisation, from surgeons to medical support staff and financial and operational managers. We found that people’s rationale for the availability and application of specific treatments can differ considerably, depending on the agenda and responsibilities that come with their position. Where medical effectivity and patient comfort is the ultimate driving force for some, costs and operational efficiency can be just as important for others.
