Healthcare operations are inefficient due to disparate, siloed departments and venues. The resulting gaps between people, systems and process can be seen as “white space.” It exists wherever paper, file cabinets, fax machines and computers become resting places for unfinished work. DST helps organizations squeeze-out white space, to move work through quicker, with less delay and fewer errors.
DST identifies and reduces or eliminates white space in three steps:
1. Analyze
Using modeling and simulation, process mapping, process redesign and ROI (Return On Investment) analysis, we define how operations work today and how processes can improve.
|
2. Operationalize
DST is unique because we provide tools that make it easier to implement changes. Implementations are often completed in four to eight months, to receive payback sooner.
|
3. Monitor
AWD can monitor results using business intelligence reporting or KPI (Key Performance Indicator)-driven dashboards for real-time results. Queue management reports help to manage the daily flows of work, also in real time.

DST believes process is an important business asset and should be managed like other assets. We deliver the people, technology and methodology for continuous process improvement.
