Quote from W. Edwards Deming:
Is price the price tag or the total cost?

The amazing success of the Coastal Sales Center Group is linked to a commitment the leadership has made to the concept of CANEI. The CANEI acronym was developed by Tony Robbins over a decade ago. It stands for Constant And Never Ending Improvement and was inspired by the teachings of Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Dr. Deming is the American business consultant credited with the Japanese quality movement that started after the devastation Japan suffered during the Second World War.

A wave of bad health reports and an obesity scare has turned politicians’ heads in Great Britain. Now, a long discussed and controversial ban on junk food advertising on television targeting children under 16 has been put into effect. Food manufacturers and advertising agencies have started changing their target audience – but are they really changing their tune?

飯田 亮(いいだ・まこと):今の日本は行儀の悪い社会であり、品質が悪い。病院でもどこでもクレーマーclaimerがすごい。

一九九三年,飯田亮因腦血栓住院兩週,本是攸關生命的兇險之事,他卻在病榻發想新事業,他發現封閉的醫療體系已顯得蹣跚老舊,不僅病患的權利不受重視,醫療體系彼此間的資訊交流效率也很差。 病榻上發想新事業 從保全延伸到醫療安全服務

「我們非常適合從事醫療,」飯田亮說。醫療除了專業外,就是訊息的傳遞,西科姆可以利用已經建好的網絡,將小醫院照射的X光片,傳送到大醫院做更正確的解讀, 也可以派駐護士從事在家醫療,甚至是聯絡藥劑師開設處方箋,送達病患家中,讓病患也能在家接受治療,而西科姆則扮演醫院、家庭和藥劑師之間的訊息串聯者, 後來甚至還接手經營一家經營不善的醫院。


但是企業經營醫院的想法,卻引來體制內的醫生反彈,「就像自體被入侵一樣」。推動醫療服務十餘年來,儘管還是有人反對,支持的聲浪卻逐漸增加,飯田亮笑 說,現在參加醫療體系聚會時,常有醫生跑來感謝他讓封閉的醫療體系變得比較開放。而醫療收入也成為西科姆的第二大營收項目,占六%。 從保全跨入醫療,表面上毫無關連,但飯田亮都是以提供「安全」為服務創新的出發點,結果讓安全服務幾乎無所不在,施展的空間變大了。

取材氣氛詭譎 長庚醫院開張不宣傳【聯合報特派記者藍孝威/廈門報導】

…….廈門媒體對長庚昨天開始營運,事先一無所悉;直到前晚接到長庚發的新聞稿,才知道此事。在沒有強力宣傳下,廈門市民根本對長庚醫院的營運「沒有感覺」。

加上長庚的看病收費制度,會對廈門當地醫院造成衝擊,當地醫院對長庚的開業「高度警惕」;種種原因,造成長庚在低調中展開試營運。

即便如此,同時加強大陸籍醫師的英語能力,期盼日後與國際接軌。廈門長庚醫院董事葉大森仍強調,長庚醫院進軍大陸,希望塑造高效率、高品質的醫療服務,但不等於貴族醫院;院方將透過合理的藥物進價、有效的管理,讓醫療成本合理化。

葉大森說,廈門長庚目前以招募外省市的大陸籍醫師為主,年齡平均約卅五到四十五歲左右,台灣長庚負責派遣十五年以上主治醫師經驗的台灣籍醫師,到廈門長庚擔任諮詢工作,藉經驗交流精進大陸籍醫師的醫療水平,同時加強他們的英語能力,期盼日後與國際接軌。

葉大森觀察,兩岸的醫療生態有許多不同之處,最明顯的區別,大陸醫師用中文寫病歷,台灣醫師用的是英文。雖然兩者各有利弊,但是為了加強大陸籍醫師的英文能力,廈門長庚將要求病歷書寫一律中英文雙軌化。

葉大森並說,長庚避免向廈門本地的醫院挖角醫師,一來不想傷了同業之間的和氣,二來也擔心挖角醫師,可能會把對手的病患也間接挖來,這種挖人牆角做法,會給醫院樹立許多不必要的敵人。

葉大森說,廈門長庚承襲台灣的做法,禁止醫師收取病患紅包,對於本地的醫療文化是很大的衝擊。不過,長庚希望推動新的收費制度,希望建立「醫術有價」的觀念,讓醫師即使不收紅包,也能保持合理的薪資收入。

管理部經理戴興業則表示,目前廈門長庚尚未加入大陸的醫療保險體系,民眾必須自費看病,多少會影響病患的就醫意願。不過,長庚希望樹立起高品質的醫療口碑,眼光放在閩南金三角,吸引泉州、漳州、廈門的患者前來就診。

Pet and company names change with the times

01/16/2008 "change with/keep up with/move with the times"

Most people would assume that the words choco (chocolate), maron (chestnut) and momo (peach) are associated with cakes or ice cream. But actually, they are the three most popular names for pet dogs these days, according to a survey by Anicom, a major provider of health insurance for pet animals.

The company looked into the names of some 68,000 puppies up to 11 months old whose owners signed them up for health insurance plans offered by the company from October 2006 to September 2007.
