HD New Business Project Processes

HD New Business Project Processes

WHAT are business processes?

"A business process is a collection of related, structured activities or tasks that produce a specific service or product (serve a particular goal) for a particular customer or customers. It may often be visualized as a flowchart of a sequence of activities with interleaving decision points or as a Process Matrix of a sequence of activities with relevance rules based on data in the process".

Many definitions of business processes similar to the above exist. Whatever definition is used, business processes are part of a larger hierarchical perspective which relates policies, business processes, work instructions and quality records, as explained in detail in the section about business processes in the quality documentation hierarchy.

WHY do we use business processes?

From the outline in business processes in total quality management, the importance of the business processes as used by healthdata.be comes down to the ability of the product (both services and end-product) of healthdata.be to meet at least legislation, policy and customer requirements.

From a more operational perspective, the business processes used for the healthdata.be project need, amongst others:

WHO needs to use(/comply with) the business processes?

The compliance and use of the business processes is mandatory for all members of the healthdata.be team.

WHICH business processes does healthdata.be have?

A fundamental distinction is made between the start-up of a new data collection project (A-track projects), and the re-use of data (B-track projects). The start-up of a new project means either that a yet existing data collection (but without previous collaboration with healthdata.be) will be migrated towards healthdata.be, or that a not yet existing data collection will be started up within healthdata.be. The re-use of data means that data which is already present in the healthdata.be data warehouse will be re-used and combined for an additional project then initially was intended.
Also, separate tracks exist depending on which type of organization requests a project. A project can be requested by either a governmental organization (RIZIV/INAMI, FOD/SPF, WIV/ISP, etc.) or a non-governmental organization (e.g. universities, companies, etc.).

Proc6: Roadmap

Proc6: Roadmap

All teams agree upon a mutual planning. Because all parties are already involved in the analysis part, the project(s) are known and the roadmap meeting becomes a planning meeting of known tasks.

The most important part of the planning are the dates information has to be given between the teams. These dates will be monitored via the HD Team Lead Meeting.

The dates that are communicated with the Requestor are

  • Period ‘ready for Data Collection’ in user acceptance
  • Period ‘ready for Data Validation’ in user acceptance.
  • Period ‘ready for Analysis’ in user acceptance.
  • Period ‘ready for Reporting’ in user acceptance.

These dates are based on the dates the development has to be ready for production and the time that the customer needs for the user acceptance. It has to be discussed with the Requestor during the analysis phase and conclusion written in the detailed project description document, under the section Timing.

HealthData Development has to focus first on the start date of each period. HealthData PM has to focus on the dates ‘moved to production’.

Proc11:Create of Project

Introduction

This process contains the IT projects that have to be setup to fulfil the request. The basis for the development is the document DEL8 (Detailed Description of Projects).
PROC_11 consists of many sub-processes designed to be executed by relevant teams. An IT project at HD IT Solutions department starts with a kick-off and ends with a fully developed project that is in run-mode.
It is a linear process where certain sub-processes depend on outputs from other processes, within or outside a team.
In the next page you can find a high-level flowchart of this process with swim lanes. Processes which reside in a particular swim lane belongs to the team indicated in the header of the swim lane and is part of that team’s governance plan.
The flowchart is also available as a separate MS Visio diagram.
The arrows in the flowchart indicate a “transition” between processes and all have their own numbers for identification.
A “process transition” has a beginning process, an end process and is often coupled with a deliverable that must be included as the output of the beginning process and an input to the end process. These deliverables are identified in inputs and outputs section of corresponding processes.

Proces description

Project kick-off by PMO

Process DescriptionThis is a formal kick-off by the PMO to inform all IT teams that the project can formally start. PMO passes the necessary documentation and information to the TLs to allow them plan (i.e.: Resource Capacity planning, team roadmaps, adaptation of management reports etc.) and start their own processes accordingly. PMO planning for the follow up of the process starts from this date onwards.

Promotion towards IT ACC by DWH

Process DescriptionUpon successful completion of INT stage, DWH moves to promote its own approved technical artefacts needed onto the DWH ACC environment to ensure all components work end-to-end smoothly. The deployment needs to take place in the beginning of the process, so that the rest of the process can run on the IT ACC environment during its course. This should be in tandem with the DC promotion to IT ACC process. A successful completion of this stage entails a series of tests DWH QA team to sign off acceptance and then DWH informs all relevant stakeholders for getting ready to promotion to UAT.

Process DescriptionUpon successful completion of INT stage, DC moves to promote its own approved technical artefacts onto the DC IT ACC environment to ensure all components work end-to-end smoothly. This should be in tandem with the DWH promotion to IT ACC process. Since IT ACC is meant to be an end-to-end environment, all external components needed for a successful test should be in place. (i.e.: Authentic Sources, External Destinations, certificates etc.)The deployment needs to take place in the beginning of the process, so that the rest of the process can run on the IT ACC environment during its course. User acceptance documentation should also be created during this stage to facilitate the start of the UAT. (PROC_11_DEL15)A successful completion of this stage entails a completion of series of tests DC QA team to sign off acceptance and then DWH informs all relevant stakeholders for getting ready to promotion to PROD. During this stage the UAT manuals for end user should also be finalized for the deliveries of DC.
