Scheduling Project Background
n Completely decentralized process n Almost all our clinics require a referral from a primary
care physician (pediatrician) and most clinics were using a fax referral to schedule from n Some clinics were taking two weeks to "triage" patient information and provide an appointment back n Most clinics were then relying on the primary care physician to notify the patient of their appointment date and time
Original Scenario (2003)
Customers
(both internal and external)
