The Table Group, an international consulting firm based in Gulf Breeze,  Florida, has designated Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System a “Role Model Organization” as  the result of innovations developed within the healthcare system during the past year.

The Table Group was formed in 1997 with a mission to work with a cross section of hospitals,  corporations and other organizations throughout the world in an effort to improve a number of  administrative and leadership functions including cohesion, clarity of purpose, morale, direction  and communication.

Last year, Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System entered into an agreement with The Table  Group whose mission statement stipulates that the most important and effective tool in business,  even in this era of technological advancement, remains the table.  “There is simply no substitute for the basic idea of people sitting down together around a table  to resolve the critical issues around their business, whether those issues relate to operations,  strategy or teamwork,” the statement continued. “The (Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System)  team should be honored for receiving this distinction and their story of implementation of  the organizational health model is being replicated by consultants and other organizations  worldwide.”  “The Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System team has worked tirelessly with The Table Group  consultants to raise the performance levels throughout the System and to find new ways that  we can all do our jobs better,” said Kevin Miller, President and CEO of Hutchinson Regional  Healthcare System. “These efforts paid off very quickly and our team took home the highest  honor the organization bestows on a small number of its clients.”  “Our discussions with the consultants were intense and thought-provoking, which challenged
all of us to think outside the box to find new solutions to common problems,” Miller continued.  “And, in some instances, we were given new insight on ways to anticipate or head off problems before they even occur.”

Other clients utilizing The Table Group services include Coca-Cola, the Centers for Disease  Control and Prevention, Hewlett-Packard, and the Federal Aviation Administration. Companies  in a number of foreign countries utilize The Table Group including firms in Canada, England,  South Africa and Australia. The Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System includes Hutchinson Regional Medical Center,  Horizons Mental Health Center, Hospice and HomeCare of Reno County, Health-E-Quip, Ray E.  
Dillon Living Center and the Hutchinson Regional Medical Foundation.
