Site Visit Issues“There comes a time when what is needed is not just rhetoric,
but boots on the ground.”
Baldwin Spencer
The 2018 Approach to Site Visit
• Use Scorebook Navigator to document SVI issues, document requests, etc.
• Use SVI Worksheets in Word to prepare for interviews and take notes• These are only for you, the judges will not see them
• Document your findings in Scorebook Navigator
6
7
Planning Phase
Reread Org Profile/ Key Factors, and Key Themes to get grounded
Discuss Site Visit agenda and approach during consensus meeting
Watch site visit video
Develop site visit issues and complete Scorebook Navigator form
Send site visit issues to applicant 1-2 weeks prior to site visit
Site Visit Video
8
Selecting Site Visit Issues
• Use site visit issues to• Verify role model strengths and
• Clarify OFIs
• How many site visit issues do I need?• As a general rule, prepare a site visit issue for each OFI and
double strength (++)
• Your team leader will assist you in determining the correct number of site visit issues based on
• the length of the site visit
• the size of the organization
9
Sample Site Visit Issues
“Verify the applicant’s use of the PES to evaluate workforce capability and capacity.”
“Clarify whether the applicant tailors its benefits and services to its different workforce groups and segments.”

12
Complete the form in Scorebook Navigator
• The comment and rationale will auto-populate
• Enter any documents you would like to review
• Enter whom you will interview
• Write ONLY the SVI question (verify/clarify) in the “potential questions” box
• You will complete the “Findings” box later
• Only complete this form for the comments you have selected as site visit issues!
13

16
Next Steps
• Once team members have completed the site visit forms in Scorebook Navigator, the team leader may pull a report including:• Requested Documents
• Potential Interviewees
• SVI Questions (Verify/Clarify)
• Team leader edits and formats this list 1-2 weeks prior to the site visit
• Team members then go back to prepare questions on the SVI Worksheet (Word)
17
The Site Visit Issue Worksheet
• Complete a separate Site Visit Issue (SVI) Worksheet for each site visit issue identified• Download template from TNCPE website
• Complete the entire front page of the worksheet prior to site visit:• Site visit issue (verify or clarify statement)
• Comment(s) affected (cross-walk to Scorebook Navigator)
• Strategy (A-D-L-I or Le-T-C-I questions)
• You will use the worksheet to conduct your interviews and take notes on site
18
What Questions Should I Ask?
• Use your process evaluation factors (A-D-L-I) to “move the applicant to the right”
• If your site visit issue clarifies the applicant’s approach, be prepared with follow-up questions regarding deployment, learning, and integration.
• This approach works for results too (Le-T-C-I) most of the time.
19
Let’s Review…
• Complete SVI form in Scorebook Navigator first• Documents, interviewees
• Site Visit Issue only (verify/clarify questions)
• Then complete a SVI worksheet in Word for each issue
• The applicant will receive your site visit issues (verify/clarify statements) and requested documents but not your prepared A-D-L-I questions or strategy
• Prioritize your SVI worksheets in case you run out of time

• What is a “key factor”?
• Where do I find key factors?
• How and where do I record key factors?
A key factor is an attribute of an organization or its environment that influences the way the organization operates and the key challenges it faces. Examiners will use key factors to focus their assessments on what is important to the applicant.

94
Level 2 Award Recommendation
ABC is in the early stages of developing systematic approaches to the basic requirements of the process categories, as evidenced by: listening to customers through XX system; conducting an annual Strategic Planning retreat; recruiting and hiring of new employees; emergency preparedness and prevention planning; and the existence of processes that promote ethical standards of conduct. While there are multiple processes in place, many are not fully deployed and/or lack the means to establish cycles of learning that could lead to continuous improvements for the organization.
ABC collects large amounts of data but is still in the early stages of determining how to effectively analyze this data for use in strategic planning. Segmentation of data and important comparison results that would allow the organization to benchmark itself against competitors in a rapidly changing healthcare environment are missing.
95
Level 3 Award Recommendation
XYZ has demonstrated significant progress in building systematic processes that effectively address the overall requirements of each item . . . It has established documented processes for most of the identified key work systems. These processes are deployed and aligned throughout the organization appropriately to meet the key business needs of the organization. Some of the processes remain informal as it is still a small company at this point. Organizational learning has mostly been the result of the new owner and is now in the early stages of being transitioned to the entire workforce.
96
Level 3 Recommendation (cont.)
Results for many of the key processes show improvement that is directly attributable to a systematic improvement approach. There are 26 KPIs that are managed.
What the company lacks in maturity is results and depth of addressing all multiple requirements, including segmentation and comparisons to companies offering similar products.
There are many examples from which other organizations can learn and grow, such as the application of multiple technologies to run and grow the business, which is unique for this industry and company size.
97
Level 4 Award Recommendation
ABC is an outstanding example of a high-performing organization. This high performance starts with the leadership system and with the senior leaders who demonstrate an uncommon commitment to continuing improvement and Baldrige principles. Their approaches for strategic planning and innovation are “best in class,” and their processes for ensuring patient-centered care and excellence are role model. ABC has demonstrated management excellence with superior results over time, including increasing market share and national top decile performance in numerous healthcare measures. These results are directly attributable to a systematic, well-deployed improvement approach, which includes XYZ committees throughout the organization, training for all team members, and a focus on innovation.
98
Level 4 Recommendation (cont.)
The management team effectively addresses the multiple requirements of each item and demonstrates alignment throughout the organization. Patients and families are at the center of each system, including leadership, strategic planning, operations, and workforce systems. ABC continues to improve and build upon its outstanding results and excellent systems as demonstrated by its favorable trends and results.

Care Framework booklet
• Give examples to support your recommendation (refer to GG’s Key Themes)
• If appropriate, tell what was missing that held the team back from a higher Award level recommendation
