Tracking and Measurement

Resources for Goal

Increase the number of cardiac catheterization labs from two to three labs within 12 months.

The goal supports the hospital’s mission and vision because it increases outpatient testing volume and revenue and provides capacity to be able to recruit an additional cardiologist. This can improve the health of the community by treating heart disease sooner. 

Milestones to attain the goal include identifying a vendor within the first 90 days, establishing technology needed by the 6-month mark, and staffing and training employees by the end of month 12.

The number of catheterization labs would be measured at the end of the year to ensure Stevens District Hospital is making progress toward the goal. We would also calculate the volume of catheterizations completed by the end of year. 

To achieve the creation of a new catheterization lab, Stevens District Hospital will need catheterization lab equipment, additional staff, and a communication plan to advise local providers of the new catheterization lab.
