customer satisfaction
"Customers tell an average of nine people about a positive experience with a brand, but they tell 16 people about a negative experience"
— Deloitte, 2018
Process Improvement
Process improvement involves identifying, analyzing, and improving existing processes to meet business goals and objectives. Thus, its focus is on understanding failures in a process versus flaws in people (staff).
Every business has systems and processes, there is just no way around it or you would not be able to operate. Whether or not they are efficient and effective is another question. Having a HR or Billing department established in your business are both considered systems. The steps in which HR takes to hire a new employee, terminate an existing employee, or issue annual raises are all known as processes. How the Billing department bills payors, such as Medicaid, is a process as well.
To put it simply a process includes sequential steps that one must take in order to arrive at a desired output
Let us say that your business is not meeting its metrics such as: "average time it takes to hire", "percent of time Medicaid billing is processed by the 30th of each month", or even "percent of patient referrals processed within 7 business days" this is likely due to a breakdown in processes. For any number of reasons the existing process has become unstable and ineffective. We can help you to identify the root causes of the problem, then help you to develop the right solutions to mitigate or eliminate the problem.
Our favorite questions to ask will be "why" and "why not", or even... "have you thought about doing X?"
The Leo Process does not pretend to know your business or its specific processes. You know your business, we know process improvement. Let's work together to improve your processes, which in turn improves the quality of services provided at your business.
