At Delta we utilize

  • Proprietary developed systems, techniques, and teaching methods that have produced continuously successful results for over three decades, and

  • Client-specific programs that are structured around existing hospital strategies and critical success factors

Our Approach includes the following processes.

Step I: Hospital Profile

This initial phase requires that Delta review the historical financial and statistical data of an organization. The profile identifies where opportunity for improvement exists and broadly quantifies its potential, along with fee ranges, for program implementation.

Step II: Organizational Review

Should the Profile indicate sufficient improvement opportunity, then a one-two calendar week, on-site Organizational Review would be proposed to specifically quantify the identified opportunity. This review provides Delta with the means to acquire essential knowledge with regard to the client's uniqueness, culture, and critical issues. It facilitates our understanding of systems and methods currently utilized, permitting us to more effectively build upon these existing efforts. As important, it allows preliminary time for the Delta staff to mesh with the client's managers, establish a rapport, demonstrate some of the tools that will be provided, and generally secure initial support for a co-venture program that will reduce costs and improve service levels.

The knowledge and understanding gained from this review enables Delta to provide the best possible Strategic Cost Management Program, at the lowest possible fixed-fee. At completion of the Organizational Review, Delta offers a written Report of Findings along with a Program Proposal. This proposal defines dollar savings opportunities, scope, stated fixed-fee and a written savings guarantee rarely offered in the industry.

Step III: Program Implementation

Upon approval of the proposed program, Delta places our team of professionals in full-time residency to complete program implementation as defined during the Organizational Review. Each installation is tailored to meet the specific needs of the client and is geared to mesh with the organization's strategic objectives, operational perspectives and financial goals.

Step IV: Perpetuation

In-house consultants are trained in both managing the system and in techniques for adjusting necessary resource levels in the event of a technology, construction or organizational change within a reporting unit.
