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. In our efforts to streamline and improve process communication, we have implemented a notification feature that alerts assignees when linked activities are finished. 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 helps ensure all necessary tasks are completed and any additional information has been handed over before the physician can start work.

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.

One common issue is knowing when one item is complete for another to be started – especially when it depends on a co-worker outside of your immediate team. Without clear communication channels and defined handoff points, tasks can fall through the cracks, causing bottlenecks and confusion among team members.

By incorporating this feature you can ease collaboration between team members by keeping everyone in the loop when dependent parts of the process are complete, ensuring that new providers are seamlessly 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 creating connections between activities, teams can step up initiative planning by creating dependencies that help teams prioritize tasks and allocate resources effectively.

Notifications will help you complete the necessary items on time, whether you’re planning an educational seminar and need to gather and report data or navigating a new service line.

This connected approach ensures that projects are executed efficiently and milestones are achieved on time, ultimately leading to improved productivity and success within the organization.
