Facilitator: Christopher Dennis

To optimize its Cerner HRIS system implementation and to improve its Federally-monitored meaningful use metrics, Tuality constituted a group of its front-line medical assistants (MAs) to identify software and process improvement opportunities. The MA superusers also provided a conduit for training and managing change during implementation.

Steaming Kettle facilitated a group of medical assistants, trainers, and technical staff. In a series of before-the-workday meetings, Tuality Healthcare was able to:

  • Surface and prioritize dozens of HRIS improvement opportunities
  • Significantly improve its performance in meaningful use metrics closely associated with MAs
  • Identify processes improvements and standardizations to increase efficiency
  • Preview system enhancements prior to rollout
  • Improve the facilitation skills of its staff
  • Give employees a voice in the evolution of their workplace
