Lecture a

Framework for Process Analysis

• Form an objective picture of the process, process variations and exceptions

• Translate this information into a list of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) functions needed at a clinic

10Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012

Fundamentals of Health Workflow Process Analysis & Redesign Process Analysis

Lecture a

Steps for Process Analysis• Start with process inventory and diagrams

– Context diagram showing clinic functions– Flowchart for each process

• For each process, list– Variations applicable to the clinic– Exceptions

• Report findings– Major observations– EHR functionality necessary to support clinic functions– Opportunities for improvement

11Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012

Lecture a

Process Inventory

• Identification of main clinic processes• Analyst works with clinic leadership to

identify high priority processes• Selected processes are analyzed

– Some can’t be improved – Some the gain is too small – Some can be improved, but by means other

than use of health IT
