CHALLENGES
OrthoNY’s scheduling process followed the journey of a paper booking form that would move around from desk to desk and folder to folder, based on the status of the case. All steps in the workflow were manual, making it a cumbersome and time-consuming process.
Each scheduler had a different set of paperwork and checklist items, so there was no uniformity and it was difficult for staff to cover for each other. Added to this, there was no way to track the status of a surgery, and many cases fell through the cracks.
The team had no way of knowing whether a surgery recommended by a surgeon was actually scheduled — especially when surgeons saw patients at satellite offices where there were no schedulers on site.
