Workflow Analysis Paper
Workflow analysis is not an optional part of clinical implementations, but rather a necessity for safe patient care supported by technology. The ultimate goal of workflow analysis is not to “pave the cow path,” but rather to create a future-state solution that maximizes the use of technology and eliminates non–value-added activities. Apply concepts learned in chapter 13 to create a workflow analysis of a procedure common to your practice that can be supported with technology.
Review a current workflow diagram in your area or consider a process that needs a workflow diagram using technology. Ex: admission process to the emergency room
Diagram the workflow for the procedure you chose.
Have you included all of the steps?
Assess each of the steps in the diagram and determine if they are value-added steps or non-value-added steps. Is the non-value-added steps necessary—i.e., required by accreditors or by law?
Write a 2–4-page paper using APA 7th edition format describing the workflow process you have chosen. Describe the diagram you have created, what metrics are used to evaluate the workflow, what are the areas for improvement, and conclusion. Include a copy of the workflow diagram in the paper.
