NAME: Donna White Area: Memorial Clerical-Scheduling What is the problem/waste? Inadequate information on the Lung Screening requisition causing a need for additional communication Idea: Information that was needed from providers was not on the current Lung Screening requisition. A new lung screening form was created and an additional form to communicate any further needs before a patient could be scheduled. This proved to be a more comprehensive questionnaire for the referring physicians and more efficient for the scheduler. Date the idea was implemented 7/5/2017 |
