Carnegie Mellon: Submitting Requests (Then) Tactical Planning Project Mini-Charter Title: Project #: Sponsor: Student Electronic Medical Record System Office of the Dean of Project Lead: Student Affairs Student Health Services Discovery Sponsoring Project Style: (delivery, discovery, activity review) Dept. of the Division of Directorate: Student Affairs 1.0 Purpose of the Project: Clearly and succinctly summarize the reason for doing this work - problem(s) to be solved and/or benefit to identified groups, and the context of this project in body of division work. . If appropriate, explain the consequence(s) of not doing it. A) Background Information The Student Health Services (SHS) and Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) primary mission is to provide complete, confidential, and effective health services and counseling and psychiatric services to all Carnegie Mellon students. Every full time student has contact with SHS at least one time during matriculation into the school. SHS has over 86% of all undergraduate students seek care during their tenure at CMU. Utilization of the service has increased with the advent of financial incentives for students to visit SHS based on University insurance coverage. In a single calendar year, SHS will see over 21,000 student visits for services such as acute care, lab work and immunizations, health advice, and prescription maintenance. Approximately, 4400 students are enrolled in the student insurance plan. B) Main Drivers and Expected Benefits SHS and CAPS are requesting the procurement, implementation, and maintenance of a Student Electronic Medical Record System based on two main drivers: 1) expected HIPAA regulations requiring an electronic medical record system by 2011, and 2) expected practice management and customer service improvements with the new system. 1) Expected HIPAA regulations The implementation of an electronic student medical record system will allow SHS and CAPA to comply with HIPAA regulations and the privacy, transaction and code rule set, and security rule. The Federal Government plans to mandate the use of an EMR with current dates estimated to be around 2011. One primary driver for this work is to provide to students the ability to view and update their medical profile and history electronically as regulated by the expected 2011 HIPAA mandate. An EMR would provide an adequate audit trail to identify who has had access to student medical history for audit purposes, again as part of the expected 2011 HIPAA mandate. 2) Practice Management & Customer Service Improvements SHS and CAPS will also benefit dramatically from the use of an EMR because it reduces the amount of time spent on data entry and appointment scheduling of student information into the current system by as much as 80% through self-service scheduling, patient medical history, and check-in. These estimates are provided by SHS and vendor information. The use www.TeamDynamixHE.com 17 Educause Mid-Atlantic Conference - 1/11/2012

Higher Education Trends: The “New Normal” » Budgets are tight. IT leadership needs to balance cost cutting with providing service to customers. » IT is under fire. IT leadership needs to find objective ways to negotiate schedules and demonstrate workloads and deliver results. www.TeamDynamixHE.com

www.TeamDynamixHE.com

The Typical Result. www.TeamDynamixHE.com

Trends in HE IT Governance: Focus Areas » Educating Stakeholders: Telling IT’s Story (the whole story) » Central management of demand » Shift of macro level decision making to the customer (governance committee) » Setting and managing reasonable expectations and objectively negotiating schedules » Improving execution www.TeamDynamixHE.com

Educating Stakeholders: Telling IT’s Story » Increase stakeholders’ understanding of the status of work they requested » Increase stakeholders understanding of how IT work supports their objectives and measures (services) » Increase stakeholders’ understanding of how IT supports the organization (services & portfolio) » Increase stakeholder’s understanding of IT’s constraints www.TeamDynamixHE.com

Telling IT’s Story: Basic Required Data » Skill set inventory (high level) » Key services inventory (services provided to stakeholder groups) » Work inventory by customer » Operational (keep the lights on) » Project work » Who is working on what for how long employing which skill sets? (high level) » Align work with key services & portfolio » Request inventory with required skill sets and duration (future/requested commitments) www.TeamDynamixHE.com

Effectively Telling the Whole Story » Resource consumption and work activities are multi dimensional » Projects » “Smaller than a Project” Work » Incidents » All consume resources and drive costs » Required to fully explain constraints and demands » Including all dimensions in reporting increases credibility » Especially helpful when negotiating/justifying IT budgets www.TeamDynamixHE.com

The “Demand and Resource Consumption Collage” Projects Projects Operation Operation ss Projects Projects Incidents Incidents Operatio Operatio ns ns Incident Incident ss Operation Operation ss Project Project ss Incidents Incidents

Telling the Whole Story: Basic Required Data » Builds upon basic requirements already presented » Work inventory by category » “Smaller than a project” work activities » Incidents (if within scope) » Formal service portfolio » Added complexity » Requires more process rigor » Clear definitions of services and catalog items » Automation tools highly beneficial www.TeamDynamixHE.com

Reporting Example: The Portfolio View with Operational Work

Reporting Example: Projects vs. Operational Work

Shift in Decision Making: Governance Committees (abbreviated) » Many structures (worthy of several presentations!) » Points Requiring Majority Agreement (and/or executive requirement) » Scope of decision making power » Structure of meetings » Frequency of meetings » Information to be prepared for meetings (by whom/when) » Portfolio/Service structure? » Agreement creates buy in & self regulation (removing burden from IT) www.TeamDynamixHE.com

Central Management of Demand » Required for effective resource management » Clearly define how work is requested » Word doc » Email » Online form » PPM tool » Napkin and crayon » Clearly define the data required for work requests » Educate requesters about the value of centralized request process » Educate requesters thoroughly about the process requests will follow (they fear the “black hole” of IT) » Train. Train. Train. www.TeamDynamixHE.com

Example: Request Forms

Setting and Managing Stakeholder Expectations » Clearly communicate commitments and constraints » Help stakeholders understand the impacts of priority changes » Clearly and factually present the roadblocks to completing requested work » Give Stakeholders objective and tenable choices to make » Timing » Prioritization » Resource adjustments » Budget adjustments » Reprioritization » Scope adjustments » Clearly communicate when work is slated to begin, what the stakeholder’s role is and when work is slated to be completed www.TeamDynamixHE.com

Reporting Example: Impacts of Priority Changes www.TeamDynamixHE.com

Proven First Steps » #1: Secure executive support » Identify and prioritize key pains (tackle them first) » Identify the MINIMUM amount of process/tool necessary to address key pains (digestible bites) » Spend time planning for change (cultural change mgmt.) » Communicate regularly (Marketing-frequency and format) » Leverage all stars to create change » Promote successes (marketing creates leverage) » REPEAT! www.TeamDynamixHE.com

IT Governance: Delivers Results “TDHE has given IT leadership tools to understand capacity when making commitments and to clearly articulate constraints to stakeholders to set reasonable and achievable expectations.” -Johnson County Community College www.TeamDynamixHE.com
