Process Reengineering
When a facility decides to implement an information technology solution, one of the first tasks is to seriously examine existing processing and procedures for errors and inefficiencies. If technology is applied to an already inefficient process, it will retain those inefficiencies, even after automation. (AORN Journal August 2004)
