Ramli realized that with lots of money maybe you can prolong your life better as compared to a poor man!Why?
Allah SWT will be the final decision maker as to when u are born and die in this world and other than that is just our human efforts or painstaking work to keep a person still breathing and kicking!
Many Rich People seem to get the best medical treatment money can buy and a good example is Sir Run Run Shaw (the famous Movie Mogul) who now is about 103 years old!He is a very rich man and maybe he can afford to seek all the best medical treatment and new R&D work on prolong people’s life made available anywhere in this world.
If a normal or poor person he or she will be at the mercy of normal hospitals or govt owned hospitals that can only afford whats available stuff to treat you if you fall sick what more if you are on a serious illness like heart,cancer,mental and all the rest of life threathening sickness!Thats the sad part of our human society or reality where the rich can have a good chance of living longer than the poor or normal person!
So,Ramli suggest Top Mgmt at all govt hospitals,private hospitals like in Malaysia do lots of study and R&D on how best to help prolonged people’s life by giving the RIGHT MEDICAL CARE WITH ECONOMICAL PRICES AND STRONG CHANCE FOR RECOVERY AND LONEGIVITY!Can they do that?
Sure they can if they apply this knowledge of GAP ANALYSIS!
Here,they benchmark with the best quality hospitals in the world with their own and understand what or where are all the gaps!Once they know whats the gap,they must now try by closing the gaps or at least make it closer to the best practices so that with these initiatives the govt hospitals will at least know what to do,who to lead,why all these shortcomings arise,how much it costs to get these gaps closer and when or what kind of time frame they need to close these gaps?
Only by knowing and working with certainty can we see some HOPE of Success or a Good Chance to Survive and not just make stupid statements that “we are a govt hospital and we cannot compete with the best hospitals in the world because they have lots of money!”
Govt Hopitals have PEOPLE and these include Medical Staff,Admin Staff and normal employees just like the World’s Best Hospitals.Its just the leadership,tools and techniques,innovation and creativity plus all the tiredless efforts to improve all the time and NEVER GIVE UP ATTITUDE.
Thats good enough assurance for the Rakyat to know that their lives will be safeguarded and the hospitals will do all they can to sustain,prolong and let live a little longer until Allah SWT finally decide your time have come to move on the Hereafter.
Please study the Gap Analysis technique below:
Gap analysis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In business and economics, gap analysis is a tool that helps companies compare actual performance with potential performance. At its core are two questions: “Where are we?” and “Where do we want to be?” If a company or organization does not make the best use of current resources, or forgoes investment in capital or technology, it may produce or perform below its potential. This concept is similar to the base case of being below the production possibilities frontier.
Gap analysis identifies gaps between the optimized allocation and integration of the inputs (resources), and the current allocation level. This reveals areas that can be improved. Gap analysis involves determining, documenting, and approving the variance between business requirements and current capabilities. Gap analysis naturally flows from benchmarking and other assessments. Once the general expectation of performance in the industry is understood, it is possible to compare that expectation with the company’s current level of performance. This comparison becomes the gap analysis. Such analysis can be performed at the strategic or operational level of an organization.
Gap analysis is a formal study of what a business is doing currently and where it wants to go in the future. It can be conducted, in different perspectives, as follows:
- Organization (e.g., human resources)
- Business direction
- Business processes
- Information technology
Gap analysis provides a foundation for measuring investment of time, money and human resources required to achieve a particular outcome (e.g. to turn the salary payment process from paper-based to paperless with the use of a system). Note that ‘GAP analysis’ has also been used as a means for classification of how well a product or solution meets a targeted need or set of requirements. In this case, ‘GAP’ can be used as a ranking of ‘Good’, ‘Average’ or ‘Poor’. This terminology does appear in the PRINCE2 project management publication from theOGC (Office of Government Commerce).
The need for new products or additions to existing lines may emerge from portfolio analysis, in particular from the use of the Boston Consulting Group Growth-share matrix—or the need may emerge from the regular process of following trends in the requirements of consumers. At some point, a gap emerges between what existing products offer and what the consumer demands. The organization must fill that gap to survive and grow.
Gap analysis can identify gaps in the market. Thus, comparing forecast profits to desired profits reveals the planning gap.: This represents a goal for new activities in general, and new products in particular. The planning gap can be divided into three main elements:
Usage gap
This is the gap between the total potential for the market and actual current usage by all consumers in the market. Data for this calculation includes:
- Market potential
- Existing usage
- Current industrial potential
Market potential
The maximum number of consumers available is usually determined by market research, but it may sometimes be calculated from demographic data or government statistics. Ultimately there are, of course, limitations on the number of consumers. For guidance one can look to the numbers who use similar products. Alternatively, one can look to what happened in other countries.[citation needed] Increased affluence[citation needed] in all major Western economies means such a lag can now be much shorter.
Existing usage
Existing consumer usage makes up the total current market, from which market shares, for example, are calculated. It usually derives from marketing research, most accurately from panel research, such as conducted by the Nielsen Company, but also from ad hoc work. Sometimes it may be available from figures collected that governments or industries have collected. However, these are often based on categories that make bureaucratic sense but are less helpful in marketing terms. The ‘usage gap’ is thus:
usage gap = market potential – existing usage
This is an important calculation. Many, if not most marketers, accept existing market size—suitably projected their forecast timescales—as the boundary for expansion plans. Though this is often the most realistic assumption, it may impose an unnecessary limit on horizons. For example: the original market for video-recorders was limited to professional users who could afford high prices. Only after some time did the technology extend to the mass market.
In the public sector, where service providers usually enjoy a monopoly, the usage gap is probably the most important factor in activity development. However, persuading more consumers to take up family benefits, for example, is probably more important to the relevant government department than opening more local offices.
Usage gap is most important for brand leaders. If a company has a significant share of the whole market, they may find it worthwhile to invest in making the market bigger. This option is not generally open to minor players, though they may still profit by targeting specific offerings as market extensions.
All other gaps relate to the difference between existing sales (market share) and total sales of the market as a whole. The difference is the competitor share. These gaps therefore, relate to competitive activity.
Product gap
The product gap—also called the segment or positioning gap—is that part of the market a particular organization is excluded from because of product or service characteristics. This may be because the market is segmented and the organization does not have offerings in some segments, or because the organization positions its offerings in a way that effectively excludes certain potential consumers—because competitive offerings are much better placed for these consumers.
This segmentation may result from deliberate policy. Segmentation and positioning are powerful marketing techniques, but the trade-off—against better focus—is that market segments may effectively be put beyond reach. On the other hand, product gap can occur by default; the organization has thought out its positioning, its offerings drifted to a particular market segment.
The product gap may be the main element of the planning gap where an organization can have productive input; hence the emphasis on the importance of correct positioning.
Gap analyses to develop a better process
The gap analysis also can be used to analyse gaps in processes and the gap between the existing outcome and the desired outcome. this step process can be summarised as below: Identify the existing process, Identify the existing outcome, Identify the desired outcome, Identify the process to get the desired outcome, Document the gap. develop the means to fill the gap

Market gap analysis
In the type of analysis described above, gaps in the product range are looked for. Other perspective (essentially taking the “product gap” to its logical conclusion) is to look for gaps in the “market” (in a variation on “product positioning,” and using the multidimensional “mapping”), which the company could profitably address, regardless of where the current products stand.
Many marketers would question the worth of the theoretical gap analysis described earlier. Instead, they would immediately start proactively to pursue a search for a competitive advantage.
