Gaps
Scope, schedule and budget gaps
Scope, schedule and budget gaps
Most internal & outsourced planning is disjointed & grossly incomplete (tens of millions off)
Project KPIs and incentives don’t map to business case objectives
Budgets missing major components—MASSIVE under-funded overruns
Can’t assemble the pre-vetted team for perfect execution – like herding cats with accountants
Let’s consider each of these in detail…
TOCCorp provides one of the industry’s best assessments, providing detailed diagnostic reports and a plan of action.
Review key documents, roadmaps, project Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and then survey Clinical, Operations, IT, and Biomedical Information Systems (BIS) leadership teams. Understand the gaps between the current state and the KPIs driving project expectations. You reach a consensus on what your organization is expected to achieve.
Align project KPIs with current roadmaps and available budgets to ensure project and enterprise goals are aligned.
Recalculate project budgets to address high priority gaps (i.e., digital front door, business transformation, command centers, technology stack, system integration). Ensures enterprise projects are fully funded.
Many projects miss critical components—including the customer experience (happy customers return often).
Identifies opportunities to enhance the role technology has on your patients’ experience–a key driver for loyalty and recurring revenue. i.e., a mobile app to conveniently schedule and reschedule appointments, send insurance authorization, send appointment reminders, and prep instructions for appointments, send a follow-up inquiry on patient’s condition, etc.
Uncovers opportunities to evolve staff incentive programs that encourage technology adoption. e.g., bonuses or recognition for percent of services utilizing Telehealth, to encourage, not discourage adoption.
Explores the role technology has in driving revenue capture, retention, and cash flow. A digital front door drives consumption of services such as Lab, Diagnostic Imaging, Pharmacy Rehabilitation, Telehealth and Home Health.
The TOCCorp assessment also includes areas typically missed, including the plan to capture market share, the company’s loyalty program and opportunities to improve community health.
The measure of success is elevated from simply completing projects on-time and within budget to investment KPIs such as increasing market capture, retention and population health outcomes. The process supports achieving investment goals and objectives.
The process makes is easy to it identify new ways for patients to consume services such as Lab, Pharmacy, Diagnostic Imaging, Rehabilitation, Home Health Telehealth. Easy to consume digital patient experiences drive loyalty.
The process identifies opportunities to improve population health through digital reminders, monitoring and intervention. A digital halo effect improves patient engagement, which leads to improved outcomes.
Most teams can create budgets based on historical spending, and cover most of the variables to build an “existing” location—but they seldom stay one step ahead of obsolescence. They don’t uncover the features needed years out when the new facility is expected to open. Following are several unique budget areas that TOCCorp considers:
Includes a portal (web or mobile-based), that enables patients to help themselves consume healthcare services via technology. It drives consumption of key services like Lab, Diagnostic Imaging, Pharmacy, Telehealth, Home Health, auto re-booking, a reminder of next visit, etc.—which maximizes revenue.
Accommodates for changing market conditions (i.e., remote staffing models, social distancing, telemedicine). Ensures you remain agile during your project construction, so you are not out of date, even when the facility is new.
Accounts for the resources needed to manage business operations. Ensures exam rooms, instead of waiting rooms, are filled; clinical and telehealth scheduling and systems are optimally functioning, physical security (personnel and systems) are in place.
Addresses gaps in your current technology stack to support digital patient experiences, staffing efficiencies and revenue.
Ensures major medical equipment and clinical applications can be integrated with the EMR to work as planned.
