The staff consists of eight doctors, twenty nurses, and numerous personnel that provide the administrative support for the organization. In addition to general health care services, numerous other services are provided to the patient population.

Procedures and processes are not formally documented by the organization and the staff is having difficulty keeping up with the daily demands of normal operations. Documentation is lost or misplaced on a fairly regular basis, putting the staff into crisis mode as they try to make things right. Dr. Smith, the leading physician on the staff, realizes that the way the organization operates must change, but does not know where to start.
