Description
The Cleveland Clinic learned many lessons during the past 16 years as its initial performance indicator monitoring has evolved into an Enterprise Performance Management program. These lessons fall into three categories:
Operational Adoption Start small and get early wins. (You dont have to be a giant to succeed.) Align performance metrics with strategic initiatives The management structure will align to the dashboards if the CEO uses the dashboards Link performance to annual reviews Make the dashboard views useful and focused to the specific user
Technical Adoption Daily information feeds significantly improve performance Daily information is scrutinized daily, so make sure it is accurate Data mart design and business intelligence facilitates speed and distribution, which are vital to program success Single sign-on significantly increases utilization
Governance Issues around people, process and governance will delay or kill any EPM or business intelligence initiative C-suite support is a prerequisite The initiative needs to be driven by the business owners, not the information technology department Trust and cooperation among the Finance, Operations, Quality, and IT departments in the development of the system will dramatically improve speed and outcomes
Apply business intelligence to accelerate performance improvement across the healthcare system, including financial performance, workforce management, quality and patient experience
Apply business intelligence to facilitate organizational alignment and accountability to achieve strategic objectives
Develop the processes and business intelligence infrastructure to monitor and manage performance
