In-Depth Case Study: Redesigning Systems & Processes to Facilitate Pay-for Performance

This in-depth case study will describe the strategy and processes for enabling a pay-for-performance environment at Cardinal Hill Healthcare System. First, the culture for change, which included the functional integration of IT personnel with administrators, managers, and direct patient-care personnel. The next step entailed design of data collection screens and reports, selection of IT equipment, and such barriers as fear of computer, lack of time to document, and reluctance to share information. Finally, learn how IT facilitated the movement from a multi-discipline to a trans-disciplinary approach of patient care by accentuating each discipline's silo of knowledge to allow for increased communication and the development of team goals and planning.
