  1. 2009 -AHCA/NCAL- Identifying and Improving Process Effectiveness • Explain core competencies and key work processes , and the associated operational performance measures and outcomes these produce for tracking daily operations Ira M. Schoenberger, FACHCA Senior Administrator

  2. Baldrige Health Care Criteria Framework: A Systems Perspective- Core Competencies and Key Work Processes • While core competencies were introduced as an important concept in the 2007 Baldrige Criteria, their strategic significance was not fully exploited. • The Criteria questions probe the relationship of your core competencies to your organization’s mission, strategy, and sustainability. • Is your organization competent in the areas that will deliver its sustainability?

  3. Baldrige Health Care Criteria Framework: A Systems Perspective- Core Competencies and Key Work Processes • Strategic advantages generally arise from either or both of two sources: (1) core competencies, which focus on building and expanding on an organization’s internal capabilities, and (2) strategically important external resources, which are shaped and leveraged through key external relationships and partnerships. Key Work Processes • Your key work processes (6.1b[1]) are your most important internal value creation processes and might include health care service design and delivery, patient and stakeholder support, supply chain management, business, and support processes. Your key work processes are the processes that involve the majority of your organization’s workforce and produce patient and stakeholder value. Key • The term “key” refers to the major or most important elements or factors, those that are critical to achieving your intended outcome. The Baldrige Criteria, for example, refer to key challenges, key patient and stakeholder groups, key plans, key work processes, and key measures—those that are most important to your organization’s success. They are the essential elements for pursuing or monitoring a desired outcome. • Your key work processes frequently relate to your core competencies, to the factors that determine your success relative to competitors and organizations offering similar health care services, and to the factors considered important for business growth by your senior leaders.

  4. Core Competencies • The term “core competencies” refers to your organization’s areas of greatest expertise. • Your organization’s core competencies are those strategically important capabilities that are central to fulfilling your mission or provide an advantage in your marketplace or service environment. • Core competencies frequently are challenging for competitors or suppliers and partners to imitate, and they may provide a sustainable competitive advantage. • Core competencies may involve unique service offerings, technology expertise, a marketplace niche, or a particular business acumen (e.g., health care delivery start-ups).

  5. Mission • The term “mission” refers to the overall function of an organization. The mission answers the question, “What is this organization attempting to accomplish?” The mission might define customers or markets served, distinctive or core competencies, or technologies used.

  6. The mission of the United States Air Force is to fly, fight and win …in air, space and cyberspace. To achieve that mission, the Air Force has a vision of Global Vigilance, Reach and Power . That vision orbits around three core competencies: Developing Airmen, Technology-to-Warfighting and Integrating Operations. Core competencies and distinctive ... Mercy Health Care System (MHS) core competencies are those areas of expertise that are critical to accomplishing the mission and vision. MHS’s senior leaders determine and reaffirm MHS’s core competencies as part of the mission and vision review during the SPP. MHS’s core competencies include: 1) partnering with physicians to create and maintain an effective integrated healthcare delivery system; and 2) engaging employees and physicians using the Servant Leadership Philosophy and the COE model, which provide a balanced approach to patient focused care. The integrated delivery system model has enabled growth and diversification of business lines, supporting the ability to effectively coordinate quality healthcare delivery across the continuum of care and supporting the mission, “to provide exceptional healthcare services resulting in healing in the broadest sense.” Partnering with physicians supports a collaborative focus on quality healthcare services and information sharing across the four core services. The integrated delivery model supports coordinated transitions between departments, providers, and care settings to ensure …. Examples of Core Competencies
