2. How to go from Good to Best
Identifying current state workflows
Representative build in Soft
Optimizing workflows
Testing and Validation
Taking SOPs to identify current stat workflows
Show how BPW are used in Soft
Comparing current and BPW to develop Future State
How to use Future State for testing and validation

3. Identifying Current State Workflows
Action points
When the user is expected to interact with the system.
Decision points
Changes in protocols or actions that need to be documented.
Documentation points (Qualities & Reasons)
Determine metrics that may need to be utilized for reports and data mining.
Ensure SOPs are up to date.
Action Points
Ensuring Actions are not excessive
Decision Points
Alternative scenarios, additional testing, and reviews.
Documentation
What type of reports do I want to pull?

4. Best Practice Workflows
Identifies common workflows for a laboratory
Clear laid out path for specimen processing and resulting.
Predefined Action and Decision points.
Preconfigured setups
Qualities
Result Fields
Container/Plate Formats
Built from common backbone of common tests.
Beginning to End processing that works out of the box.
Hard coded actions and Predefined actions.
Actions that are always in the process
Specimen QC
WBC
Set up Panel or Plate

5. Each icon represents something different
Single icon represents single or multiple steps

6. Common Qualities and Common outcomes
More can be added or current one modified

7. - Great representation of predefined Growth Grades to drive culture processing

8. Representative Build in Soft
BPW represent pre-configured tests that can be loaded directly into new environments.
Provides minimal framework to allow end to end processing for specimens.
New environments are operational faster.
Go-Live ready in reduced time.
More hands on time.
Reduced learning curve.
Plug and play with minimal additional configuration
Canned messages
Report & Label Templates
Integration (HIS & Instrument)

9. Optimizing Workflows Identify out of date processes.
Processing steps
Calculations
Resulting/Reports
Identify laboratory specific gaps in BPW.
Additional actions
Alternative scenarios and decision points.

12. Testing and Validation
BPW converted into Future State Workflows
Training end users
Creation of Test Scripts
End to end system validation

13. Module Specific Workflows
