Unacceptable waiting times for surgeries are a problem in several Western European countries. The famous Karolinska-University-Hospital in Stockholm found a way to improve the efficiency of hospital processes without deteriorating the service for the patients. The new strategy was introduced by Arthur D. Little and entailed a new structure of decisive processes: “The project’s objective was to expand Karolinska’s top-notch medicine, to ensure supply during a healthcare crisis while forcing up efficiency” says Dr Gregor Wick, Partner at Arthur D. Little in Austria.
