GBA Webinar: Developing Home-Grown Portals to Improve Efficiencies - November 9

This webinar, hosted by the GBA Department Administrator Interest Group, will focus on how to leverage technology to help people work smarter. The speakers will describe why and how the UCSF Department of Medicine develops homegrown, user-friendly web-based solutions to perform a wide range of processes that were formerly conducted via paper transactions or a diverse set of online applications that could not be accessed through a single gateway. During the webinar, the presenters will share takeaways on how these solutions have supported continuous process improvement, their change management strategies, and overall, what has worked and what hasn’t worked. The session will focus on portals that automate, streamline, and standardize processes such as staff performance evaluations, annual faculty reviews, generation of faculty offer letters and renewal letters, staff salary setting, submission of award nominations, and staff merit notifications. These portals free up employee time from non-value-added tasks to focus on more meaningful, business-critical work.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn our approaches and see specific examples of our web-based solutions.
• Reflect on their own institutions' needs and evaluate what strategy they might want to consider implementing.
• Understand how we measure the success of these solutions.
