Workflow analysis aims to determine workflow patterns that maximize the effective useof resources and minimize activities that do not add value. Workflow analysisprinciples can be utilized to develop electronic health record (EHR) systems. There area variety of tools that can be used to analyze the workflow of processes and clarifypotential avenues for eliminating waste. Flowcharts are a basic and commonly usedworkflow analysis method that can help highlight areas in need of streamlining.Taskand ExpectedOutput1. In this Assignment, you select a common event that occurs regularly in yourorganization and create a flowchart representing the workflow.2. You analyze the process you have diagrammed and propose changes forimprovement.To prepare:1. Identify a common, simple event that frequently occurs in your organization thatyou would like to evaluate.2. Consider how you would design a flowchart to represent the current workflow.3. Consider what metrics you would use to determine the effectiveness of thecurrent workflow and identify areas of waste.To complete:1.1. Create a simple flowchart of the activity you selected.1.2. In your paper:A. Explain the process you have diagrammed.B. For each step or decision point in the process, identify the following:Who does this step? (It can be several people.)What technology is used?What policies and rules are involved in determining how, when,why, or where the step is executed?What information is needed for the execution of this step?Describe the metric that is currently used to measure thesoundness of the workflow. Is it effective?C. Describe any areas where improvements could occur and proposechanges that could bring about these improvements in the workflow.D. Summarize why it is important to be aware of the flow of an activity.1.3.
