Some of the benefits and flaws of this management method are described, followed by a literature review of known applications to healthcare organizations, which concludes with a summary of healthcare-specific observations. Note: Project management based on the Theory of Constraints is described variously as Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM), Critical Chain / Buffer Management (CC/BM), Critical Chain Scheduling/ Buffer Management (CCS/BM), TOC-PM, and many others. This review uses ?CCPM? throughout.}, url = {http://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/4055}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/sn009z09x}, }
