Montefiore Medical Center Strategy & Balanced Scorecard
This study examines the case of Montefoire, both in terms of the company's original strategic framework versus its new strategic framework within view of the Balanced Scorecard. The new strategy of Montefoire is one that is focused on activity-based management rather than resource-based management and as a non-profit organization, Montefoire has a focus on creating shared value for the organization and those whom the organization serves, or that of the patient population. The focus of Montefoire should be on, rather than building the number of cases that the institution takes annually, on the number of satisfied patients that receive service provision from Montefoire on an annual basis. This focus will ensure that Montefoire is a care center of choice and that not only do patients return for health care service provision but that they additionally relate to others the excellent care they were provided ensuring that others choose Montefoire as well for their needs in health care services. The Balanced Scorecard provides the necessary strategic framework to ensure that patient care provision is effectively and efficiently accomplished. While this may require some time for the organization in terms of employee buy-in, this method has been demonstrated as effective in other health care organizations and institutions as noted in the literature reviewed in this study.
