About this Presentation
This presentation describes the application of the theory of constraints (TOC) critical chain project management (CCPM) application to design a resource allocation and scheduling system for healthcare professionals. Diabetes is used as a case example as a project. CCPM provides a good solution to create a concrete schedule for each professional which maximizes resource utilization and reduces extra waste. Quality indicators were examined. A prototype information system is being implemented based on CCPM concepts.
