Process and Operations Workflow Analysis
Efficient, natural workflow is essential to providing quality care and services while maintaining cost-effective operations. QFHC helps organizations reorganize around core processes. Workflow studies are conducted through interviews, document reviews, and observation, to identify opportunities for improvement. A gap analysis is developed and reviewed with the organization's management team, then in collaboration with management and staff, new processes are developed. Operational testing is completed around reorganized processes to prevent inefficient manual processes from becoming inefficient automated ones.
