Current Challenge
High volume of low-complexity corporate calls (L1) consuming bandwidth required for high-complexity clinical incidents (L2/L3).
Strategic Goal
Empower users via Self-Service and Automation. Move 30% of L1 tickets to "Tier 0" to free up capacity for clinical support.
Target Outcome
A responsive, resilient ICT backbone that supports the National Digital Health Strategy's interoperability goals.
Current Operating Landscape
The DoH ICT Service Centre is operating at maximum capacity. Analysis of call volume reveals a critical friction point: highly skilled technical staff are frequently diverted to routine corporate administrative tasks, impacting response times for clinical emergencies.
? Ticket Source Analysis
Goal: Inform. Shows the disproportionate volume of corporate requests versus clinical needs.
Data Source: Internal Ticket Analysis (Simulated)
Insight: 60% of volume is Corporate/Admin, yet Clinical issues represent the highest risk to patient safety. Strategy must address this imbalance.
II Top Incident Drivers
Goal: Compare. Identifies specific technical areas consuming the most staff hours.
Insight: "Identity Management" (Passwords/Access) is the #1 volume driver. This is the prime candidate for automation (Quick Win).
Strategic Prioritization
To navigate resource constraints, we must prioritize initiatives based on Impact (Clinical Value/Efficiency) versus Effort (Cost/Time).
-
1
Self-Service Portal (Tier 0) Automating the 40% of Identity tickets. Low Effort, High Impact.
-
2
Knowledge Base Overhaul Empowering L1 staff to solve Clinical issues without escalation. Medium Effort.
-
3
Unified Clinical Dashboard Real-time view of EMR health. High Effort, but High Strategic Value.
Impact vs. Effort Matrix
Goal: RelationshipsImplementation Roadmap
A phased "Pilot-Scale-Sustain" approach ensures clinical safety during transition.
Phase 1: Stabilize
Focus: Quick Wins & Automation
- ? Deploy Self-Service Password Reset
- ? Audit Top 50 KB Articles
- ? Pilot "Clinical Priority" Queue
Phase 2: Optimize
Focus: Capability & Process
- ? Train L1 Staff on EMR Basics
- ? Integrate Asset Mgmt with Service Desk
- ? Expand Self-Service to Software Install
Phase 3: Innovate
Focus: Predictive & Proactive
- ? AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance
- ? Full "Connected Care" Integration
- ? Review & Scale
Measuring Success
Success is measured by the shift from Effort (closing tickets) to Value (enabling health outcomes).
Efficiency Metric
First Contact Resolution (FCR) target increase from 55% to 75%.
Experience Metric
Clinician Satisfaction Score (CSAT) target > 4.5/5.
Strategic Metric
Staff Capability Index (Skills Matrix Assessment).
Target State Capability
Goal: Compare. Current vs. Future State.

Slide 1: Executive Summary
- Issue: ICT Service Centre is saturated by low-value admin tasks (40% volume).
- Risk: Clinical urgency is diluted by corporate noise; resource burnout.
- Strategy: "Shift Left" via Automation & Tiered Support Models.
- Outcome: 25% Capacity release for Clinical Support within 6 months.
Slide 2: Strategic Pillars
- Automation: Self-Service Password/Software (Level 0).
- Knowledge: KCS (Knowledge Centered Service) adoption for L1 staff.
- Alignment: Direct support of National Digital Health Strategy (Interoperability).
- Safety: Clinical-first routing for Emergency Departments.
Slide 3: Implementation Plan
- Phase 1 (Stabilize): Deploy Identity Automation Tool & KB Audit.
- Phase 2 (Optimize): Restructure teams into "Clinical" vs "Corp" pods.
- Phase 3 (Innovate): AI Triage & Predictive Hardware Analytics.
- Governance: Weekly Clinical Stakeholder Steering Committee.
Slide 4: ROI & Measurement
- FCR (First Contact Resolution): Increase to >75%.
- CSAT (Satisfaction): Target >4.5/5 from Clinical Staff.
- Cost: Reduce Cost-Per-Ticket by diverting L1 to Self-Service.
- Uptime: Improved EMR availability via proactive monitoring.
