LPPH Conclusions

• The TOC Thinking Processes clearly indicate that the key constraint facing the Hospital is the inability to effectively manage rapid change required by the state and the rate of change in the industry

• This leads to the majority of challenges faced by the Hospital.

• The TOC solution for dealing with this is a systematic logical process that creates consensus on what to change, what to change to and how to make the change without jeopardizing the existing strengths

• TOC applications have been adapted to Healthcare around the world over the last 20 years
