12 Radiology Test Turnaround Time ( Case Example) 12

13 Define: Charter Why Is This A Problem? Project Statement St. Martin s Hospital in Richmond has a goal for radiology report turn around time of 24 hours for outpatient and emergency room procedures and 8 hours for inpatient procedures. Currently, 70% of the inpatient reports and 56% of outpatient reports are not complete within the expected time frame. The hospital would like to improve test result turnaround time to gain market advantage over their competitors. Project Scope The hospital s administration has given directives to a multidisciplinary team to identify the factors that effect radiology report turn around time and improve the processes. Improvement in this process will facilitate the strategic growth of the services, improve customer satisfaction and reduce length of stay. The team will identify the processes or procedures that cause delays in report completion, identify process changes to improve performance, meet specified customer expectations, and determine how to implement the improvements. Performance GAP 13

14 Define: Charter Project Objectives/Goals Specified Key Deliverables Implementation plan for all identified solutions Increase in the number of reports completed within the goal of 24 hours for outpatient and ER and 8 hours for inpatient to 80%. Increase in outpatient volume. Improve customer satisfaction. Financial and Operational Benefits Increase annual radiology volume by 10% which equates to 18,000 procedures at $100 per procedure annually for a total of $1,800,000. Reduce length of stay in the ER and on inpatient units. Increase customer satisfaction to 65% excellence by reducing wait time for procedure and results. Improve relations with referring physicians. Decrease unbilled procedures by having reports in patient s chart within 24 hours.
