The webinar will help you understand how
the Statit Performance Indicator & Management
Dashboard (piMD) solution provides the tools
necessary for "process expert accountability"
and meaningful performance improvement success.
Some of the questions posed during the
webinar include:
Q: Can more than one person act as a
Process Expert for an indicator?
A: Our strong recommendation is that
you establish a single Process Expert for each
indicator on your system. This clarifies to
everyone who is ultimately responsible for the
process. In the event that the Process Expert
may not be available to act on an indicator,
the person who defined the indicator (the Indicator
Admin) or any System Administrator may also
perform the expert actions. For each expert
action, we record the identity of the person
who performed the action.
Q: Can we control the use of Assignable
Cause at our site?
A: Yes, using Assignable Cause is an
advanced capability and you need to make sure
that your site establishes guidelines for its
use. By default, this capability is disabled
on your system and you can enable it when your
team of Process Experts is ready to go.
Q: Why would you allow the Process Expert
to change Comments/Actions Plans that occurred
in the past?
A: The reason for this is to allow the
Process Expert to enter in actions retrospectively
(especially when Statit is initially deployed).
And we want to allow the Process Expert to clarify
or expand on actions performed in the past in
case users do not completely understand those
actions taken. A concern that you may have is
that a Process Expert may go in and change a
previous Action Plan. One example would be if
an Action Plan developed three quarters ago
identified five steps that the Process Expert
was going to take to improve on the process,
yet they only performed four of the actions.
Our system allows the Process Expert to go back
and remove the fifth item. But, if the Process
Expert does this, any user who had subscribed
to that indicator would receive an email stating
that the Process Expert has changed the Action
Plan from <text before change> to <text
after change>. The ultimate in transparency,
this is automatically self-policing.
