one page case study

Intermountain is a complex and large case.

It can be approached in several ways: for medical people it can be an illustration of a “disease-focused” organisation rather than an “asset-management” organisation. It therefore can illustrate an entirely new perspective.

Also, it illustrates how an organisation can be designed for learning.

Thus, it illustrates the creation and implementation of a unique strategy to achieve its goals.

I suggest that you could consider some overarching questions:

1 How well is Intermountain Health Care performing? Why?

2 What is Intermountain’s approach to the management of health care delivery?

3 Why does Intermountain do it this way?

4 Why don’t all health case delivery organisations do it this way?

You could also go further:

5 What lessons can medical organisations learn from this case? (this is a very general and large question – too large to tackle in one question.)

6 Is Intermountain’s experience generalisable to other medical organisations? Why /why not?

7 Is Intermountain’s experience generalisable to non-medical organisations? Why / Why not?

The important thing in this case is about lessons learned – understanding WHY they have been so successful AND being able to deal properly with the question of generalisability.

Is this the question you were looking for? If so, place your order here to get started!
