Outpatient Pharmacy Improvement # ___ Implementation Date _______ Process Description: Manning the front desk and filling scripts.
__ Error Prevention __ Streamlining X_ Delay Reduction __ Error Detection X_ Friendlier Service __ Culture Builder __ Control __ Cost Effective __ $$ Increased __ Alarm __ Faster Cycle
Before Improvement: (what was happening) Patients always asked what to make their checks payable to, slowing them down from writing their checks ahead of the transaction. Staff also asked for the drivers license which also took extra time for them to search and show it
After Improvement: (how it was fixed) This is an ‘I did it’ kaizen. In place, gaining benefit as we speak. Hopefully there is a professional (keep the color highlight) replacement. Saves 30 seconds per transaction for those patients who don’t know to do this already.
Measurement (how and frequency):
