The approach
Ascend worked with MOH stakeholders and NUPCO to establish an operating room to provide the leadership and decision-makers with recommendations based on the best available information driven by analysis, best practices, and forecasting to support the decision-making process to deliver optimal quality and safety. The Wasfaty Operation Center continuously monitors and evaluates the performance and quality of the Wasfaty services, addressing system inefficiencies and gaps, and enabling proper response. Key steps included:
Create a ‘Ticketing’ or ‘IPOMS’ system to ensure action is taken and closed.
Organize by verticals including governance and supply chain, operations, communications & patient experience, clinical, contract management, quality & analytics, and digital.
Leverage dashboards and analytics reports together to understand the current state. This includes scenario planning, monitoring, and war room triggers per dashboard
