Implement a daily operating system

A daily operating system (DOS) is a way of working to help you answer the question: ‘Are we ready today – if not, why not?’

This question is critical to help improve patient care, access and flow.  It give you visibility of today’s operations and allows you to quickly identify problems. Frontline staff are empowered to solve these problems daily, or escalate those they cannot fix.

We have developed a range of resources to help your health service implement a DOS.
