Dimensions of successful service redeployment.

"Service redeployment" is one of the primary action steps in restructuring hospitals toward a more patient focused future. By helping identify and avoid "departmental decentralization," these key dimensions of successful service redeployment can help ensure that Patient Focused Care programs do it right and institutions benefit from bringing services closer to patients. These benefits will continue to grow and aid institutions as long as service redeployment decisions are periodically updated through continuous improvement efforts.
