  • Kaiser Permanente Case Study

    1708 Words  | 4 Pages

    Membership Services (MSD) at Kaiser Permanente used to be a modest department of sixty staff. However, over the past few years the department has doubled in size, creating minor departmental reorganization. In addition the increase of departmental staffing, several challenges became apparent. The changes included primary job function, as well as the introduction of new network system software which slowed down the processes of other departments. These departments included Claims (who pay the bills for service providers outside of the Kaiser Permanente network), and Patient Business Services (who send invoices to members for services received within Kaiser Permanente). Due to the unforeseen challenges created by the system upgrade, it was decided that MSD would process the calls for both of the affected departments. Unfortunately, this created a catastrophic event of MSD receiving numerous phone calls from upset members—who had received bills a year after the service had been provided. The average Monday call volume had risen from 1,800 to 2,600 calls per day. The average handling time for each phone call had risen as well—from an acceptable standard of 5.6 minutes to an unfavorable 7.2 minutes. The department continued to be kept inundated with these types of calls for the two years that these changes have been effect.

    The first hospital I ever went to in the United States was Jackson Memorial Hospital. I was around 7 to 8 years old, I had only been in this country for 2-3 years, and I went to the Bascom Palmer division. At this point, my mother did not speak English, and I was getting to the point of being fluent but still struggled with the language. Scared and in awe, I remember feeling like I wanted to be a part of something like this institution one day. I was impressed by everything around me, and I remember looking at the doctors with a sense of disbelief. But all of that was in some way blurred by the interaction that I had with my physician. I remember my doctor being rude with my mother and frustrated by her language barrier, and I remember her
