17 Internal Centralization Tamela Dodds
18 Driving Factors In 1999 Cincinnati Children s had tripled in size and scheduling became more difficult for patients Scheduling was done in silos; each division scheduled their own services Patients had to call multiple phone numbers to schedule any appointment or service needed Communication between divisions was increasingly disconnected Used multiple antiquated scheduling systems
19 Driving Factors New Scheduling System Identified Need Dos-based system lacked reporting capabilities More sophisticated system was needed to keep up with volume growth Selected Resource Selected EPIC to increase efficiency and EMR Implemented Resource Implemented the scheduling system one department at a time Leadership paved the way
20 Relationship Building & Communication Standardized processes and policies across divisions Analysts built partnerships between physicians and division schedulers Scheduled meetings with physician leadership to explain centralized scheduling and its benefits Invested time with division staff and providers to support the creation of concise scheduling rules and templates Established quarterly meetings with division leadership to address all questions and keep open lines of communication Reviewed and observed workflows to learn special circumstances, processes, and policies in each division Trust & Buy-In Established annual satisfaction surveys to measure and improve divisional customer satisfaction
21 Creating an Optimal Infrastructure Original goal: Train all agents to schedule all divisions Ultimate solution: Created six teams of schedulers with three to seven divisions assigned to each team Common illnesses and/or diseases were used to determine team based scheduling
22 Integrating Staff and Processes Many schedulers from the divisions were absorbed and relocated to the Scheduling Center Where applicable, other schedulers remained in the division to serve as internal resources for the Scheduling Center Division schedulers were cross-trained in a number of divisions Agents were informed of new performance standards and that their calls were being recorded New system also monitored the availability of each scheduler Monthly coaching on performance standards Created operations specialist position Analytical responsibilities: Call volume, ASA, queue management, reporting and staff monitoring
23 Developing the Scheduling Process Scheduling Center analysts developed questionnaires and scripts to guide scheduling agents to the correct visit type Example: if a parent calls the Cardiology line and says their child has fainted, the scheduling agent starts with cardiology new visit and selects fainting on the questionnaire the agent is then directed to the syncope visit type and questionnaire to go over with the caller
24 Centralization Challenges Two divisions took back scheduling responsibilities: Division of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics Seven to nine month wait for new visits Needed to redesign how patients were prioritized and scheduled Cancer and Blood Disease Institute (Hematology/Oncology) Unable to schedule appointments within needed timeframe Agents consistently called the department directly to make appointments
25 Training: Developing Team Responsibilities and New Hire training program- six months Mentorship program Structure Bi-Annual customer service refresher training Auditing: 6-10 calls audited per agent per month Two of these call are live monitored and scored Uptivity software: voice and screen recording Call calibration sessions hosted for management Scheduling Agents Agents scored monthly on: Average handle time (AHT) Quality Accuracy Customer service Personal aux
26 Culture & Recognition Programs Culture: Potlucks Activities committee Scheduling Center newsletter Birthday club Volunteer opportunities Incentives and recognition: Quarterly star performer Monthly top performer Monthly team award for best ASA
27 Benefits & Results of Centralization Cost savings: 72 scheduling agents- 56 FTEs Fewer people handling more calls Increased patient satisfaction: Significant reduction in wait time Improved call scores One call number, multiple divisions Increased number of pre-registered patients
28 Lessons Learned Bring about change slowly and in phases Include stakeholders from each role in the process Set achievable, yet challenging, goals for staff Benchmark productivity by team first, then overall by department Select leadership with various backgrounds for implementation
29 Steps Taken to Centralize Scheduling 1. Determined department location 2. Implemented new scheduling system 3. Developed scheduling department hierarchy and staff job descriptions 4. Determined FTE allocation and reassigned division schedulers accordingly 5. Conducted visits to the divisions and observed staff 6. Selected a phone system and quality auditing software 7. Developed an action plan for each division and workflow changes 8. Obtained clinician buy-in by conducting office visits and meetings 9. Identified departments who were unable to participate 10. Developed training and auditing teams for scheduling operations 11. Organized and assigned staff to teams- began cross training 12. Determined and implemented Scheduling Center, team and scheduling agent performance standards
