Organisational Requirements and Planning Tools

Once you have obtained a schedule that meets the time and resource constraints, prepare a memo that addresses the following questions:

Remember the old saying, "A project plan is not a schedule until resources are committed." This exercise illustrates this subtle, but very important, difference.

records must be taken of what has been said by the individual; these records must also include the date, time and place

The same is true for construction scheduling; the schedule, similar to a game plan, shows where you are and where you are going. Mr. Whittle also compared scheduling to a set of dominos. In this metaphor, each domino refers to an individual task in the schedule. Mr. Whittle explained that until the tape and float “domino” falls, you cannot paint. Items in the schedule that are dependent on a previous activity must “fall” in a sequential order in order for the schedule to be an effective tool. Mr. Whittle also stressed the importance of breaking the schedule up into bite-sized pieces. The smaller the pieces, the more manageable a schedule is to maintain and communicate.

This can range from providing meeting itineraries to giving follow up emails that ties together all the information presented. Having tangible and well organized material can help others to work towards the same goals. I will work with my subordinates to formulate and achieve their personal goals.

Scheduling Procedures. Categorize different scheduling procedures for various types of service operations, such as restaurants, hospitals, and airlines. Your initial post should include explanations and examples and be 200-250 words.

* Make a written objective record that includes time and date, exact words as far as possible, the name of the person to whom the concern was reported, the name of any other person present at the time of observation or disclosure.

A person from the billing department who will run a report from the last 120 days. The doctor also needs a friendly reminder, to document according to the procedure. The doctor must know that treating patients is not their sole responsibility in an office.

The time management skills and communication with the candidates using outlook calendar and emails provide organization to complete the tasks.

The performance of the service must be clearly documented in the patient’s medical record in order to establish the medical necessity.

That point cannot be overemphasized. You want to have a log of who you spoke with, and you need to maintain a log of the date and time. Always keep a copy of the correspondence. Another benefit of this is that you do not forget the most pertinent information. Instead of keeping a written log, you can also video record the conversation so that they can be referred to later. Any time that you have been given a commitment for services, such as the quantity or the costs, get it in

For our final clinic of this course Ms. Smith desired that I review the new self-scheduling policy she drafted. She tells me she asked one of her staff members to write up a document reflecting the existing self-scheduling process. While the staff member did a fair job in outlining the unit’s self-scheduling rules the format and language used was not sufficient enough to stand as a unit policy.

Check tentative event date to ensure not events already scheduled on the same date in the same area

I carried out this research via an intranet search, speaking to project colleagues and contacting the executives’ assistants (each was phoned for guidance on the most convenient way to obtain information from the executive). I determined that the fastest way to collect the information was to send an email to each executive, and their secretary, with a template to fill in and then have a return reminder of 10:00am attached for the next business day. At the time, I was also assisting in the development of various project strategies which required a high volume of meetings and time away from the office. Whilst out of the office, I used the department’s iPad to monitor emails and was available around the clock via instant messaging.

Scheduling is one of the most difficult management systems in the dental practice. Frustration is often the result when staff work hard to access a well-scheduled day only to have it fall apart at the last minute due to broken appointments and no-shows.
