Treating Processes Like You Treat Patients

Approach...                                
 
What is Junto Group’s approach?
Junto Group’s goal is to unite with hospital leaders to improve healthcare processes, and
ultimately patient outcomes.  We deliver practical solutions with tangible results.  We
assure that our clients achieve their business goals and objectives efficiently, effectively,
and economically.  We use a process optimization methodology called AIM, which stands
for Assess, Improve, and Maintain.

How is Junto Group Different?
We believe that organizational performance is mostly attributed to people and processes, not
technology.  It's not about owning the best technology; it's about optimizing the technology
that you have.  We treat processes much like hospitals treat patients.  We triage current
processes, develop a care plan to improve their health, and heal them.  Once processes have
improved, we reinforce methodologies which keep processes performing in peak health.  Our
approach addresses the entire process continuum, from clinical to financial.

Process Optimization Phases

Assess: Problem Identification
Locate, define, and analyze the problems which negatively impact your business goals.  
Recommend solutions and a road map to achieve desired outcomes.  Junto Group offers
three different assessments to define the current state and propose a future state.

Assess: Project Planning
Develop effective project charters, apply the most appropriate project methodology, and
define a detailed work plan.  Project planning is essential to achieve project objectives
effectively, efficiently, and economically.  Junto Group develops these planning tools and can
help review existing plans.

Assess: Performance Improvement Goals
Define performance improvement goals and objectives and align them with the project goals
and objectives.  Junto Group facilitates business process redesign to achieve desired
performance improvement goals.

Improve: Process and Project Implementation
Establish project leadership, subject matter expertise, and technical resources to enable
successful implementations.  Junto Group can provide all of these resources and the
appropriate tools.  We can also revive failing implementations and make sure staff is
properly trained.

Maintain: Performance Management
Review performance metrics, policy and procedures, monitor performance, and benefits
realization.  Junto Group can help establish performance management processes.  We can
also audit the project to identify the root cause of unrealized benefits.

Assess... Goals, objectives and
current state, create gap analysis
and plan for future state.

Improve... Processes to achieve
goals and objectives efficiently,
effectively, and economically.

Maintain... redesigned
processes by  reinforcing new
behaviors.
