Case study

Selection No other Phase Is More Important: Mobile Nursing Devices Tools Our story began almost 2 years ago. As a consultant, this author participated in a team that completed a device needs assessment for the selection of point-of-care documentation devices for Big Healthcare System (BHS). Our consultant team was engaged because of an unsatisfactory response from an employee to a member of the facility's board of directors. The question was "How did we arrive at the decision to select these certain machines that you are asking $1.7 million to purchase?" Our Team defined the following metrics for device selection: . Device form factor analysis (workstations on wheels [WOWs], tables, other handheld devices) . Space availability within patient rooms during use and storage Provisions for spare machines . Downtime strategies . Analysis of various clinician usage and preferences Wireless networking capacity and coverage . Integration with bar coding and scanning technologies . Electrical outlet availability (location and quantity) Reallocation of existing desktop machines for physician usage In total, this process was completed over the course of eight weeks, and upon presentation to the board of directors, out team literally received a standing ovation. Upon completion of our work, we presented our strategy and success around device selection, and the abstract of this write-up received a national award. Based on this success, there was great confidence in our processes, In a new opportunity for a similar we expected to repeat our success. The project was initiated. and RCH built a team of invested. skilled, and knowledgeable clinical and information technology staff. However, the device selection team was device selection process as part ot a larger project at a Regional Community Hospital (RCH) in the West

What were some lessons learned from this case study? Do you think this author should participate in similar projects in the future? Why or why not? Would you have handled the rollout at the second location differently? If so, how?

Answer 1

lessons learned from this case study?

We can identify few lessons from this case study which can bring out some really useful insight while dealing with large projects in health care domain or otherwise in any area.

Initial, an orderly, far reaching procedure of determination of assets can lead alleviating numerous dangers, for example, delay of quick spending assignment, finding exchange and equivalent esteem assets effortlessly, finding substitute assets that can convey higher incentive than anticipated, less shot of blunder, association of the whole group down the line, a settled and all around reported framework the vast majority of which can be pursued with almost no supervision later on under comparative settings.

Additionally, this method comes with challenges as well. First, the method lacks the flexibility to adjust in a different cultural context in the organizations. Second, the process is very slow leading to frustration and boredom to the team members and lack of credibility due to the absence of visibility of the improvement by the efforts of the project in actual operations.

Do you think this author should participate in similar projects in the future? Why or why not?

The approach of the author while dealing with these projects is 'academic' in that he checks and evaluates all the aspects for selecting devices for health care. This bodes well intelligently and subsequently it was hailed in the executive gathering and got a national honor. As a philosophy of gadget choice, the methodology has colossal esteem. In any case, consider the operational necessity of the task.In the context of healthcare, the world is changing every day considering technology, knowledge, and talent. If the same elaborate method we use again and again it will lack the flexibility to adapt to the changed environment. The healthcare unit may fall behind the competition due to the delay and as mentioned in the case itself, the team may get demoralized as they would find that they are working very hard but the customers are not happy.In this way, the creator is certainly capable to lead such activities in future. The main alteration he needs to do is to change the philosophy. He ought to build up a structure by which the determination of gadgets should be possible quick utilizing the system parallel in different undertakings.

Would you have handled the rollout at the second location differently? If so, how?

As mentioned in the previous answer, the key is to develop a framework which can lead to fast decision-making related to the device selection.The structure ought to be produced based on the underlying undertaking and utilized by others in various districts parallelly. The robotic piece of the system should comprise of rules and standard working method.But beyond that, other organic issues such as team management, motivation, short-term planning for the project etc. should be left for the regional leadership for better control.
