Got involved with the community care team within the VA Medical Center in Indianapolis. They had an issue with their scheduling system for healthcare consults outside of VA services. They were producing too much data from their six database system to be properly and quickly evaluated. Main responsibility was helping them in their operations redesign efforts. Tasks in the analysis stage included creating process flow maps, performing time studies, identifying bottlenecks, prioritizing right KPIs, and analyzing raw data exports. This resulted in creating an automated decision support system with a dashboard displaying the most important metrics. This ended up reducing their report generation time from around 2 working days to approximately 10 minutes through automation.
