Balanced Scorecard
Multidimensional evaluation of
performance with experimental
application of balanced scorecard
Silvia Lupi, Adriano Verzola,
Gianni Carandina, Manuela Salani, Paola
Antonioli and Pasquale Gregorio
Health-care is a complex system that
endures pressures from a great number of
stakeholders, and maintaining a
successful health-care organization is a
situation that some of us may take for
granted. When we need help, we expect to
be properly cared for by our hospital.
Behind the scenes, hospitals are similar
to other organizations in that they must
grow and develop to remain efficient and
apply best practices. Using a balanced
scorecard can help them also be at the
top of their game, and the public
depends on them being at their best so
we can be at our's. This case study
finds that utilizing a balanced
scorecard in a hospital setting is a
good option for measuring performance,
while uncovering similarities and
differences across other industries' use
of the method.
