Sammendrag
Rising healthcare expenditures call for new ways of working smarter in hospitals to achieve
their target performance with the same budget and staffing levels. Integral Capacity
Management (ICM) is an approach developed in the Netherlands that helps hospitals
achieve their desired performance. It matches patient demand with resource capacity by
managing variability without increasing costs. With the question in mind of whether this
approach could be implemented in Norway, this report analyses the main differences
between the Dutch and Norwegian healthcare systems and identifies drives and barriers
for the implementation of ICM in Norwegian hospitals. Overall, the success of
implementing ICM in Norway could be less than in the Netherlands due to the mentioned
differences between the healthcare systems. However, there is still great potential for
improving the current way of planning in Norwegian hospitals, and we believe ICM can
highly contribute to this improvement.
