Bay State Medical Center’s mission statement is to improve the health of the people in our communities every day with quality and compassion. This mission statement is very clear and I am sure that every hospital has this very same mission in mind for just being in the system of health care. Bay State Medical Center also has forecasts for the future of Health Care and look at themselves with a vision for the Hospital of the Future. This vision is named “Vision 2025” according to their online website and they look to the future of the hospital with goals of having surgical precision, robotics and patient simulation and how medical students will be trained. Currently every health system is looking at a value system to the consumers of health care and how they can operate with a lean method of performance as well. With health care becoming so costly due to medicine costs and advanced technologies with cutting edge procedures there is no other choice but to adopt lean principles and values. The best doctors need to be compensated accordingly as well.
