Right behind better healthcare
1) Desktop Replacement Process
• ADHB Locations had 24 steps and required multiple system entries.
• CMH/WDHB Locations had 18 steps and required system entries into multiple systems
• NDHB Locations had 15 steps and required entry into multiple systems.
• Challenges across our environment, included
– No visibility for our customers of "who's next"
– Reporting only available at the end of the month and large overhead for this work
– Stock management happened at the end of the month, also with large overhead to complete

device related services causing rework, delays and a reduced level of service.

What are the 'Business Rules' as differes per dept, manager or
individual.
Device set up varies from ticket to ticket dependent on users, webmail - internet
enabled, contacts, calendar. adding/checking data plan, Itunes.
How the phone is paid for will determine who actually does the set of
the device. CME fund for example, BYOD of a hA device.
Ticket assigned based on RC code numbers: Account Numbers- RC Numbers WDHB begins with 01 account number 685711- RC Numbers CMDHB begins with 04 & 53 account number 685710- RC Numbers NDSA begins with 65 account number 739969- RC Numbers hA begins with 85 account number is 685708- RC Numbers HBL begins with 75 000 0000 9261 account number is 685708
Who else can do this series of tasks?
What defines the RC Code / Hardware fund? What are the business rules, how does approval vary
If Correct information (RC Code, person's name) is correct here then DB
is VF responsibility and not hA to rework
No Oracle connectivity. This would require an Oracle 'API' or form to be built \. VF are happy to facilitate this but would expect hA to foot the majorityof the
costs. Financial reporting through different unknown means. Hardware fund has no auditting
With 9 different people to choose from and 8 types of entry option, its no wonder that requests get 'lost' - This
is not Acceptable

Devices also sen tto the DHB'sdirectly for distribution to end user
Sending the Requester thru the Altirtis Portal actually creates additional steps
in the process. To do this a service desk agent must manually copy the ticket
information from an EM (Email ticket) into the SD tool, where it can be
tracked by the customer.
Karaka St have now started a manual log to track the EM tickets due to information
being dropped or wrongly entered.
They have created additional tasks to ensure the ones they are already doing are done
correctly.
!
Is the CME fund so different that it needs to be completed by different
people? At worst an approavla would be required, but if greater controls in place - with complete visibility - then
CME vs Non-CME is clear to distinguish.
Duplicate payments end up at hA not the individual RC code. Any faulty deivce requires a completely new
request regardless of the action taken.
Lack of stock or a lack of technicians can be frustrating
VF portal has had issues
Cannot order ALL devices in the same way. No iPAD online at Portal for example, thus gets
ordered via CAPEx process.

cHANGE REQUIRED?
Multiple regional processes and ways to request with high and inconsistent resolution, processing and elapsed times.
What Does this Mean: End to end Comparison
Single regional process from Request to Billing with a single local entry point , reduced task steps, significantly improved processing and Elapsed times
Right behind better healthcare
WHAT WERE THE RESULTS? For the complete end to end process across the Northern Region: • Reduced resolution time from request to billing. • Reduced processing time and elapsed time to complete the process • Reduced number of steps and task involved
WHAT DID WE DO?
• Simplified and standardised approach across the region.
• Reduced the waiting time for all stakeholders
• Access to greater and immediate customer feedback
• Regular visible reporting. • Regionally standard
information easily available to all with Regional Mobile Device Guidelines, FAQ’s and self-help information. Click picture below to visit.
Control Chart to show All Mobile Device Requests: Weekly Frequency and Time to resolve
Before: 12 w/d After: 5.5 w/d
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? • We have increased capacity among the team, freeing up their time by removing waste and non-
value add tasks. • The upfront data is now 100% correct due to the updated forms, removal of paper, validation
and raised awareness. • Provided clarity, responsibility and accountability with a known and single process owner and
the right people performing the correct task • The decrease in both processing and elapsed time would lead to reduced costs, increased
satisfaction through a more efficient and effective process. • Laid the foundations for future proofing and the continued improvements.
