| | Problem Statement | | | | | | Business Case |
| | Patients and clients visiting Tampa memorial hospital have raised issues due to extended waiting periods whenever they come for medical services. The overall work-flow within the institution is greatly influenced by the patients' concerns, which have led to high turnover and general job dissatisfaction. Medical practitioners at Tampa Memorial hospital are embarking on a project to solve the issues within the institution. The hospital management team is responsible for reviewing and overseeing the requirements for the project charter. The doctor will approve the final draft before the project flags off. | | | | | | Several long term patients have left the doctors practice because of long wait times and having to be rescheduled because appoints would run over allotted times leaving patients unseen at the end of the day. This has resulted in a decrease in revenue for the office. In addition, his office is experiencing a rather high rate of staff turnover due to the continuous negative work environment caused by unhappy patients. |
