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. 000004055 6531_ $$atheory of constraints 000004055 6531_ $$acritical chain 000004055 6531_ $$aoperations management 000004055 6531_ $$aproject management 000004055 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000004055 692__ $$aDivision of Management$$041635 000004055 7001_ $$aWilkins, Paul$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000004055 8564_ $$9ef3fea92-1610-468d-8c18-6035febc16aa$$s276247$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/4055/files/What_is_Critical_Chain_Project_Management_and_How_Can_it_Be_Usefu.pdf 000004055 905__ $$a/rest/prod/sn/00/9z/09/sn009z09x 000004055 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:4055$$pstudent-work 000004055 980__ $$aReflections on Healthcare Management
