Observations of Current State Lots of handoffs Lots of double
storage Lots of re-entry of data Redundancy some good, some bad We
are contacting the same people There are necessary waits in the
process We are waiting on people outside our agency It is hard to
completely map these processes There is a lack of trust in the data
systems
Slide 25
Recommendations Set up tools (Quickplace, sharefolders, case
conferences) to promote better communication Redesign the process,
train staff in LIMS, and document standard work Develop Access
database. Long-term create a functional, child-based, interoperable
system for MDH and its stakeholders. Clarify roles in the process
and share key information Institute case conferences

What must we and the agency do to implement and sustain this
effort? We need to have follow-up meetings of this group through
implementation and evaluation of the new process Maintain
respectful and open communications at all levels We need management
and staff support We need some IT resources to implement new
process
