PMINEO September 2016 Chapter Meeting
Topic: 2015 Kerzner Project of the Year: University Hospitals Home Care Integration project.
The Kerzner Project of the Year Award is the highest award our chapter bestows to recognize the fantastic work that is being done by Project Management practitioners in our region. The September chapter meeting is your chance to find out more about what is behind the success of this year’s winner. Representatives of the project will talk about the project, its value to the company and what they did as Project Managers that made a difference. It will be a great opportunity to listen for the new ideas you’ve been looking for to push your own project over the top and ask questions of the people who made it a success. Join your colleagues in September and share ideas and conversations about what’s working in Northeast Ohio!
As part of the UH acquisition plan of two newly acquired health care organizations, the project’s purpose was to integrate the organizations’ home care agencies to that of UH Home Care. The integration scope included business processes, IT systems, and organizational structure. The timeline was very compressed with a 12 month delivery deadline. The project work included the utilization of Lean Six Sigma tools to help ensure identification of waste and opportunities for improvement, as well as to maximize opportunities for staff involvement in the change processes.
What made this project special:
- It required the integration 2 completely independent home care agencies to UH Home Care within a three month period of one another, which is very tight timeline for such mergers.
- The integrations were what we call “four corner” in that they impacted all aspects of the organizations, not just IT systems, and not just the business, but all. As such collaboration from everyone was needed.
- The value added by the integrations were considerable.
Business benefits
- ROI of $2.4 m over 5 year.
- Unified care delivery processes, supporting the achievement of UH productivity & clinical goals.
- Integrated financials- enabling integrated budgeting, forecasting and other financial management.
- Establish a model of integration future growth and expansion needs.
