Process Visualisation in the NHS

This SIG will look at identifying and documenting, in flow chart format, process management in the NHS, both clinical and administrative processes are addressed. The structure of the Process Visualization set will follow, as far as is possible, the anatomy and metrics of NHS Improvement’s Model Hospital. Once a process has been identified and documented then the flow chart will be circulated to as wide an audience as possible to replicate best practice.
The resulting process visualization set will form a baseline for Quality Improvement of processes within the NHS.
This project supports the research currently being undertaken by the Author at the University of Birmingham, Institute of Applied Health Research.
It is hoped that work done during the ‘Releasing Time to Care’ initiative can be use to feed into this project.
