How We Conduct AnalysisReview Historical DataObserve Current ProceduresUnderstand Business ProcessesFace- to- Face Client Analysis

Business RulesProvide Recommended Stress TestsStress Tests Prices are an avg. $4,000.00 eachOpen M-F 8am to 5pmPatients are seen systematicallyAll Patients Appointment BasedDoctors must be on-siteStress Test TypesDobutamine(chemical)Bruce Stress Test(physical)

Current Business ProcessCurrent Business Process (cont)Manual Process Samples

QC Camera Flood Bars AroDaily Survey ReportIssues Log BinderSystem ObjectivesThe general company objectives are as follows:

Track radiation contamination levelsPerform Patient Stress TestsAccess accurate data in a timely mannerEdit and Implement Important DataTrack Dobutamine injections with corresponding patient information,Enforce state regulations regarding quality control reports

Performance ComparisonPerformance GoalsT.C.A. Likes Vs. DislikesVs.Here we have identified what T.C.A. Houston is satisfied with and what processes they feel need improvement.Interview Results: Company ImpactsProblemsImpactsEstimated Process Impact ResolutionsProposed Issue ResolutionsImproved Wait Time EfficiencyImproved Data StorageComputerized Quality Control ReportingReliable Calculation of Dobutamine injections

Proposed Positive ImpactsDue to improved clinic data organization, more time can be spent with the patient and core nuclear medicine technologist activitiesDue to improved record keeping and multiple backups, the company will be able to comply with state obligationsLess data redundancy problems and high data accuracyAbility to correctly calculate the amount of imaging agent based on patients weight

&Financial ImpactLong Patient Wait Scheduling opportunity to add 1 patient, or $4,000, monthly

Data Storage Ability to avoid state compliance fines up to $23,000 a year

Currently your office is missing out on several financial opportunities

These opportunities could save TCA 21Financial Impact Cont.Manual Reports Reduce report processing time saving 27 minutes, or $17.73, a day

Manual Calculations Reduce Dobutamine calculation time by 4 minutes, or $2.60, per patient
