BPM Healthcare Example
Healthcare Case Study For 100 years Hospital network has maintained a single purpose - to improve health. Serves more than 1.2 Million patients. Owns or manages seven hospitals throughout the state. Employs more than 10,000 employees
Healthcare Case Study Problem Statement 200B healthcare organization with approximately: 130 Departments 80 Siloed Systems 310 Applications 800+ Processes Complexity has a cost associated with it. The more complex the organization, the greater the cost.
Growth in Silos All systems are siloed Used TQM and Lean to optimize within silos Fine tuned internal processes, which do not align with the enterprise as a whole Employee s thinking is also siloed Myopic viewpoint - don t think across the enterprise Look at particular service they offer, not the aggregation of all services
Patient Seen as Silo s Manual Resource Coordination for Discharge Process: Laboratory Radiology Surgery Therapies Cardiology Nursing-Routine Finance Dietary Housekeeping Pharmacy Social Services Rehabilitation Phone / email / faxes / paper / sneakers
Each Silo Has it s Own Unique Processes Manual Resource Coordination for Discharge Process: Laboratory Radiology Surgery Therapies Cardiology Nursing Finance Dietary Housekeeping Pharmacy Social Services Rehabilitation Phone / email / faxes / paper / sneakers Vendor Specific Solution and Processes
Patient Data Must be Copied For each Silo Manual Resource Coordination for Discharge Process: Laboratory Radiology Surgery Therapies Cardiology Nursing Finance Dietary Housekeeping Pharmacy Social Services Rehabilitation Phone / email / faxes / paper / sneakers Patient Data
Enterprise View of Processes Without an enterprise view of processes: Creates enormous inefficiencies in quality of patient care Correlates to the patient s health Negative effect on revenue Bill based upon evidence-based medicine An enterprise view of healthcare processes has an immediate, positive effect on the bottom line and the health of the patient.
Role of Enterprise Architecture Must have an Enterprise View Requires a well-defined Enterprise Architecture As part of Enterprise Architecture is Business Architecture Part of Business Architecture is BPM When doing BPM, you must consider the Context of the Business Architecture
BPM and Enterprise Architecture Delivers significant results that are of strategic importance to the enterprise Breaks down departmental silos Creates value across Enterprise Enterprise Architecture Business Architecture Business Process Management Project / Acquisition Architecture Operational Architecture To be Successful, BPM must be Implemented within the Context of Enterprise Architecture (EA) Existing Capabilites Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Systems Architecture Solution Architecture Technical / Physical Architecture Deployement Architecture Hardware System Software System Procedural System Mechanical System Chemical System
The Approach Identified top-level streams Looked at cross-cutting processes rather than the collection of services (i.e. cardiology, home care, lab, etc) Began looking at silos as services that can be aggregated to provide value Optimized horizontally across the enterprise for the Customer Financial Care process and Patient Care process Departments operate as individual departments, but use processes that cross the enterprise Optimized departmentally and horizontally
Project Scope Think globally Act Locally, Strive to Create Artifacts that Supported the Overall Enterprise Architecture Create a Reusable Process Demonstrate SOA s Business Value Proposition Through a Working Solution Identify Services within the Project Context Enterprise Services Atomic Services Align to the Software Development Lifecycle Identify Supporting Tools
