As a senior manager at LiveWell, you have been invited to participate in a planning committee exploring new programs and processes that will increase LiveWell’s appeal to internal and external customers. The committee is called “We Improve Life at LiveWell” (WILL).

 

This WILL committee is a working committee, so you get assigned a task each time you attend a meeting. Each team member completes their assignment and then returns it to the committee for consideration and use. The committee’s purpose is to evaluate planning ideas by comparing both internal and external stakeholders concerning each idea. This will ensure that LiveWell has completed a full assessment prior to moving forward with a process change or service expansion.

 

At the first meeting, you are asked to provide a summary of regulations that apply and impact the new healthcare programs and processes – the intended goal of WILL.

 

At the second meeting, you bring the table on regulations to the meeting and two other team members, Tomika and Alex, bring in the following data Table B – Other External Stakeholders and Table C – Internal Stakeholders. You are asked to evaluate stakeholders for each planning proposal below:

 

Speedy Registration – LiveWell might deploy a new registration process that is 25% quicker by removing all documents and forms that a patient has to sign at registration. (Forms: Medical Release Form; Permission to Treat; Assignment of Insurance; HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, etc.).

Physician Bonus Program – LiveWell is considering a bonus for any physician that increases the number of radiology tests ordered by 10% each month -the physician will receive a $1000 bonus.

On-site Childcare – LiveWell has identified 1500 square feet on the first floor and might use the space for an employee childcare facility.

Cancer Center Growth – LiveWell promoting the satellite lab at the Cancer Center. Every new patient seen at the cancer center will get a minimum of 3 lab tests ordered to ensure that the new cancer center satellite lab is busy and meets the lab test quota goals.

At the third meeting, you are asked to compare the evaluation of stakeholders, determine the ranking of each of the planning proposals, and select your first choice out of the four planning proposals.
