Appleton, Wis., January 14, 2015
The DVD video examines two healthcare organizations that have taken steps to reduce waste in their financial planning and provides a professional financial perspective on how to identify waste. As healthcare organizations streamline their care delivery process, they are finding that much of the time spent creating and adjusting an annual budget is wasted. Brian McGinnis, VP of finance at ThedaCare, northeastern Wisconsin’s largest healthcare system, and David Cooke, former CEO at Park Nicollet Health, an award-winning healthcare system in Minnesota, provide insights about moving away from creating annual budgets toward a more effective method of financial planning. McGinnis describes the advantages of using the ThedaCare financial team’s valuable time to help business managers optimize their finances instead of working with them to create an annual budget. Cooke speaks about what Park Nicollet Health gained after eliminating the budget process. In addition to perspectives from innovative healthcare organizations, the DVD also gives viewers a financial industry perspective with recommendations from Steve Player, director of the North American Beyond Budgeting Round Table. Player delves deeper into how finance can support operational excellence by describing the process of breaking down an organization’s financial processes to find waste. He also explains the concept behind 12 Beyond Budgeting principles and the key reasons to stop creating an annual budget. “This video illustrates alternatives to the traditional annual budgeting process and focuses on how lean principles support healthcare’s shift toward patient value,” said John Toussaint, MD, founder and CEO of the Center. The Moving Beyond Budgeting DVD is organized into nine chapters, including: 1. Introduction 2. Push vs. Pull Budgeting 3. Resistance to Change 4. Why Eliminate the Budget? 5. 12 Beyond Budgeting Principles 6. Accountability 7. Rolling Forecasts 8. Evolution vs. Revolution 9.
