Health Care Application Gaps, Conflicts, and Integration Tool

Baldrige Application Gaps, Conflicts, and Integration Tool

for Health Care

Save time and ensure a valid assessment using the Criteria Response Integration Tool

(Business, Public Sector and Other Nonprofit Version - Health Care and Education Versions available)

The Application Gaps, Conflicts, and Integration Tool captures and organizes the critical information necessary to effectively answer the key Criteria questions and automatically integrates it within and across all Baldrige Items. It ensures valid and consistent input.

Get an immediate profile in less than a day of your gaps, conflicted content, and non-integrated content by simply inputting your key response content. Your consultant can't match the results but they will bill you several days to try.

In the Baldrige spirit of breakthrough improvement, several new features have been added including:

• Instructions and examples to facilitate content inputting.

• Term-by-term links to the same definitions the Examiners use to assess.

• 'Cut and Paste' from your existing document

• Technical support is included for one year

• Total integration via hyperlinks with all versions of the Baldrige Criteria

• Total integration via hyperlinks to all versions of the Baldrige Glossary of terms

• Total integration via hyperlinks to all versions of the Baldrige Core Values

• Total integration with all versions of the Baldrige Scoring Guidelines

Benefits include:

• Cost: At only $295, you can get better results than you can get from the best Baldrige consultants that work in slow motion.

• Real-Time: All teams writing the application have real-time access to the latest information. This saves an immense amount of rework and ensures that conflicting information is not used.

• Criteria understanding: Ensures that different Category teams/team members are not using different definitions for terms such as, 'core competencies', 'sustainability', 'innovation', or even 'customers'.

• Savings: The time to capture, analyze, organize, and present application information is reduced dramatically. Each team can usually input and validate their work in less than a day.

• Using a consultant? This tool allows you to assess their performance too . . . ouch!

• Total Integration: Integration is the only assessment scoring dimension common to all seven Baldrige Categories. It is often the most difficult to effectively address.

• Focus: Designed to extract the right information from your subject matter experts so they do not waste their time on what they think should go in the application but which may often not be adding value.

• Refinement: Nearly twenty years of user feedback ensures ongoing calibration to user needs

Successful:

• Used for almost twenty years by dozens of national Baldrige Award winners as well as dozens more state and international winners.

• More importantly, thousands of organizations that have never applied for an award have used it to assess their progress in achieving excellence.

• A two-time national Baldrige winner is currently using it to try to become the first to win three times.
