Problem Solving - Mount Louise Hospital
In this experiential learning module on Problem Solving, the learner takes on the role of a Consultant from Lyka Consulting, a distributed firm that specializes in aiding clients with the difficulties of AI-driven digital transformation. Lyka’s newest client is Mt. Louise General Hospital, a public hospital built in 1962. The operations team at the hospital has performed an internal audit and determined that patient throughput has been steadily declining for the past four years. To resolve this issue the hospital has recently completed an integration with MyCare, a new AI-powered software solution to manage patient appointments and provide intelligent live information updates to its frontline staff. Though MyCare, Mt. Louise can improve its efficiency and patient throughput without sacrificing the quality of care that it is known for.
However, since implementing this new system several months ago, the hospital has not seen the predicted increase in throughput and there have been some significant negative reactions from staff as they struggle to adapt to the new system. Lyka Consulting has been hired to help upper management understand the situation and provide a plan of action for resolving the issues and achieving the efficiency boost Mt. Louise was promised.
