What productivity indicators are necessary for thedepartment?The selected theories for the study are value-based care, processmanagement, process mapping, balanced scorecard, processmeasurement, Lean and principles-working methods. The study has ascientific approach that is linked to the empirical researchapproach so-called grounded theory, which is considered aqualitative approach. This study uses interviews and documentcollection to formulate theories and link it to empirical data.The results of the study show that the organization lacks a processmapping of its processes, which leads to a production plan notbeing able to be executed and goals with indicators in theprocesses do not exist in the business. The study providesproposals for a process mapping and to establish a production plan tomanage incoming referrals with available resources as staffing.This should interact with possible indicators that are applied todesign measurable goals for the business.
