As previously noted, the latest Performance Pay Tracking Period began on November 1st.

We are striving to meet the Patient Satisfaction goal of a ≥ 68% rating (experience as “Excellent”).

In order to create a comfortable margin of performance, while continuing to improve the patient experience, we would like to share some feedback from recent patient focus groups.

The two areas that patients value the most are: 1. Communication from the treating crew: “Explain treatment options and procedures” “Provide reassurance and compassionate communication with the patient” 2. Setting clear expectations: “Set transport length expectation” “Set a triage level expectation before arriving at the hospital”

Good afternoon, students. As you get settled down, let’s start this week’s lesson: Strategic Planning. Since this is your second week and I see some new faces out there, I’m Doc Studnek. To catch you up, let’s begin with a short synopsis on what we discussed last week. We defined Medic’s, Planning Process and why engaging in this process is important. For a quick refresher, click here.

There are many ways that organizations can go about developing Strategic Objectives. There is no right or wrong way. Rather, there are different methods that best match an organization’s culture. So over the next few weeks, we’ll walk you through the process that Medic uses and why we feel it’s the best match for our organization’s culture (see Figure 1).

To start the process of developing strategic objectives, we want to focus on a method to identify and filter inputs. These inputs can be inside or outside the organization and from many diverse areas within it. We call this process collection the Summarization of Ideas.

The Summation begins in September. Collection of inputs are completed by your peers, who begin scouring our organization for information. The information topics range from customer feedback, employee feedback, key measures of the system and other items represented in Figure 1(see below).

This information is shared with Medic’s Leadership, in several ways. First, the planning team spends time reviewing the data its collected. Then the team produces a set of fictional text features (that’s a joke for my assistant - referencing my cartoon like persona).

But, I digress... The information is then ten-compiled into a planning document that provides an objective assessment of the Agencies performance in the last year as well as the current business environment. This document gives Agency Leadership a clearer understanding of our organization’s performance. A series

of presentations (summarizing key findings) highlight the key areas that may need improv ment.

It is important to note that this Summarization serves as a ‘stepping stone’ for Agency Leadership. It’s purpose is to help Leadership understand and reflect on what we have done and what we have failed to do.

These “reflections” are then used in the next step of the Planning Process’, Idea Generation and Identification of Common Themes.

But Idea Generation and Common Theme Identification will have to wait until next week.... We know you’re disappointed... But make sure you’re here bright and early next week for Module Three.

We’d love to hear from you!.... Tell us what you think about Learning Lab. If you have questions or topic suggestions, please feel free to email Tiffany at tiffanya@medic911.com. Or drop your questions and/or ideas in the PR Drop Box - outside the PR Offices.

FUTURE EMTS AND PARAMEDICS In 2014, Medic partnered with several organizations throughout Mecklenburg County. Through these partnerships and community events, Medic not only shared life-saving skills, the organization hopefully touched children’s hearts (and their parents) to create future Paramedics and EMTs. Thank you Medic Paramedic and EMT volunteers. We couldn’t have done it without you!
