Improve Process Communication with Marketware’s Linked Activities

One of Marketware’s Physician Strategy Suite core features is activities. The activities feature helps you maintain, track, and report on the important work your organization does. They can consist of tasks, events, and communications, helping your team nurture relationships no matter where they reside in the organizational process. Whether you’re working in Recruitment, Onboarding, or Physician Relations it’s vital to keep track of efforts and stay up to date on tasks. To streamline communication, we’ve added a notification feature that alerts assignees when linked activities are completed. This simple addition ensures that everyone stays in the loop and no communication barriers hinder progress.

Why Linked Activities?

Using linked activities enables you to be notified when another colleague or team has completed an activity on which yours depends. Instead of needing to check the system or the other activity assignee repeatedly, the system will notify you automatically. By utilizing features like notifications to inform assignees when linked activities are completed, healthcare organizations can ensure seamless coordination and enhance overall efficiency.

Forming a link between activities can be accomplished when creating a new activity or after the fact. Once linked, you’ll see a record of that in both of the activities’ Activity Details. When activities are linked, one is referred to as a pre-requisite activity and the other as a dependent activity.

Prerequisite Activity: An activity that must be completed before you can begin your assigned activity.

Dependent Activity: An activity that requires the completion of a prerequisite activity.

The Linked Activities section of the details page will note which activity is a prerequisite or dependent one. Linking an activity does not prohibit the user from marking the dependent activity as complete prior, but rather, provides an email notification to assignees of the dependent activity as well as an indication on the activity feed once the pre-requisite is complete.

Streamline Your Recruitment Process with Increased Activity Visibility

Enhanced visibility facilitates better communication and helps ease the process for new hires. Due to undefined processes and lengthy interview processes, candidates often fall out of the pipeline during recruiting processes. By increasing visibility into recruitment activities, organizations can significantly improve their hiring follow-through.

The notification feature keeps assignees informed when linked activities are completed. This not only facilitates better communication but also helps move candidates forward in the process. Recruiters can transition the provider from recruitment to onboarding by notifying coordinators of the activities needed before beginning the onboarding process. This ensures the team completes all necessary tasks and hands over any additional information before the physician begins work, helping to smooth the transition and reduce delays.

By leveraging this feature you can optimize your recruitment process, secure top talent for your organization, and ensure a seamless transition from recruitment to onboarding.

Enhance Onboarding Efforts with Easy Collaboration

Onboarding processes generally include many different departments, coordinating a lot of plans at once to get a provider onboarded. Problems can surface when different teams are not aligned on goals, timelines, or responsibilities. This lack of coordination can lead to delays in the onboarding process and impact overall productivity.

A common challenge is determining when one task finishes so another can begin. Especially when it depends on a colleague outside your immediate team. Clear communication and defined handoffs are essential to avoid missed tasks, which can cause bottlenecks and confusion. By incorporating this feature, you can enhance team collaboration. Keeping everyone informed when dependent tasks are completed, ensures that new providers are smoothly integrated into the culture and operations.

Step Up Initiative Planning Through Linked Activities

Initiatives play a vital role in driving the success of your organization by providing a structured approach to accomplishing activities. Linked activities can be a major player when it comes to initiative planning. By linking activities, teams can improve initiative planning through task dependencies, helping prioritize tasks and allocate resources more efficiently. This approach enables clearer focus and a more organized workflow, ensuring projects stay on track and progress smoothly.

Notifications help you stay on track by reminding you to complete essential tasks on time, whether organizing an educational seminar or managing a new service line. They help manage your activities efficiently and keep processes on schedule.

This connected approach helps teams execute projects efficiently, meet milestones, and boost productivity, driving organizational success.
