Introduction
This paper will evaluate and analyze the Cleveland Clinic way of doing things from the bottom to the
top. The main idea being to examine and documenting the process taken or undertaken by Cleveland
Clinic in offering medical services to its patients. Also discussing the services offered as well as the
impacts they have on the execution of the processes. Orchestration effect and the business process
compliance monitoring and resolution issues. This is evaluating and analysing their strengths and
weaknesses, the organizational cultures, the human resource strategy, the quality instituted, the people,
the business processes that are related to human resources.
The report also aims at reviewing all events that are significant and affects human resources, events
that synthesizes the concerns of the employees that is the medical staff including the doctors, nurse,
hospital workers etc., provision of outcomes, delivering in terms of both qualitative and quantitative,
and lastly nationally and globally (Megaz, 2016).
Strategy Mapping.
The main idea brought about by strategy mapping of the existing service being offered by Cleveland
Clinic and the strategy mapping proposed for the better medical services to be offered. For mapping
Cleveland clinic as an existing market, the opportunity or it as an industry one have to understand the
value drivers for mapping (iqcpouow, 2015).
For easy mapping seeking of needs that were over, under and not served. Mapping a new product or
service offered against the industry. Most innovation always occurs when products are addressing the
needs which are under, over or even unserved. Through identification of the needs which are under,
over and unserved innovations will always take place making this to become a “blue ocean”. By
innovating we have understood what Cleveland Clinic values and contrast and compare what the
institution thinks is the best and valuable to them.
There is a need hierarchy in coming up with a good strategy map. Needs have to be examined and get
the solutions more carefully. To understand more a greater approach which is more fine and addresses
the strategy map as it is supposed to be. The strategy mapping strategy for Cleveland clinic is made
up of four quadrants that lies on innovation of healthcare. The first quadrant represents innovation on
quality and safety with Humanistic care, the second quadrant represents Service innovation with
Invention as the key requirement, the third quadrant is the technological and device innovation with
mechanistic care termed as the key requirements and the fourth and last quadrant is the Biomedical
research innovation with discovery as its major key requirement respectively.

Figure 2: Strategy map showing details Innovation in the 4 quadrants.
From the hierarchy as shown in strategy map in figure 1 Cleveland clinic is at the top and one of the
medical institution in United States that is growing very rapidly in terms of being innovative in all
areas especially the four areas named the quality and safety, Service offerings, Technology and device
used and lastly the innovation in biomedical research and investigations respectively. The four
innovation areas are described in details as below.
It will be unwise to limit Cleveland Clinic in that it is only in one quadrant. It may also have indirect
entrance in to other innovation sectors. However, in our case quality and safety innovation is the
centre for innovation for Cleveland Clinic based upon quality and patient safety institute. Service
innovation which is termed as the “innovation frontier” which is mostly in hospital industries and its
aim is innovating services that has been in existence for more than 80 years.
Innovation in Quality and Safety
The first quadrant where CC lies walk around innovative methods for enhancing quality metrics and
the environments that are safe and make sure that the processes put in place are very safe for the
patients and the families they treat or offer services to. The mission of institute Lerner research is
understanding the diseases in existences and developing treatments which are new and ways of curing
these diseases hence specializing in clinics and translational researches (Michael, 2013).

Ecosystem Built on Orchestration
In Cleveland Clinic they will be need to build an open service ecosystem which is orchestrated. This
ecosystem will also require stewardship that is continuous. For this to be achieved in the right and
promising way where it can be understood by the majors and minors Cleveland Clinic has to re-
evaluate its old truths. This is indeed to all almost to all medical institutions as crisis mostly from
finance leads to them re-valuating the model of the business they perform.
When the truths which are old and the methods which are proven are seen to not producing what is
expected then this will require the Cleveland Clinic to look outwards and identify the opportunities
which are new and collaborate with partners who are key in ecosystem business (Synocus, 2015).
There are some major five distinct levels that Cleveland Clinic will have to understand to know this
orchestrated ecosystem development progresses. This distinct levels are neither separated nor mutually
exclusive. The five levels that need to be understood by Cleveland Clinic institution are as follows.
Orchestrated Ecosystem Levels
Level 1: Cleveland Medical Clinic should have an experience with the future. In this level the basic is
need to recognition in engaging in dialogues which are open with multiple stakeholders and make an
4

agreement on the views of the world and priorities of the future. Major tool for this is scenario
building.
Level 2: The second level is Cleveland Medical clinic has to set the priorities in to a context
understood by the patients and clients who are engaged deeply with these activities which are joint and
those that will assist in developing the new offerings. Innovation which are semi-open is a tool that
can be applied by Cleveland Medical Clinic. Resources which are external are always needed in
provision of offerings that meets the patients wants fully.
Level 3: The new offerings representations is done by how the external resources in Cleveland Clinic
are combined with internal resources. A tool such as 3D offering can be applied
Level 4: This level is achieved when Cleveland Medical Clinic is able to make new collaborations of
settings institutionalized. Cleveland Medical Clinic is then orchestrating actively in a collaboration
with partners who are in a network that is semi-open. A capability map will be the tool that will be
useful in defining the roles and duties.
Level 5: The Cleveland Medical Clinic after being institutionalized it may ask for many years to have
recognition in the market. If this is achieved the ecosystem is represented actively by the Orchestrator
who built it, for it to serve itself and its clients in the best possible ways. It is referred to as the level of
collaboration.
NB for Cleveland Medical Clinic to have An orchestrated network they must give in and allow
innovations opportunities to take place (Synocus, 2015).
Big Data Analysis
Cleveland Clinic of latest has been highlighted to be one of the medical institution that uses big data in
delivering services which are excellent to their clients.
Figure 4 big data analysis.
The total collected data amount is estimated to be 2.5 quintillion bytes daily, where only 10% is
created in just 24 months ago. This is termed as the big data where centers for medicals, the hospitals
and the systems they use, the pharmaceutical’s, biotechnologies institutions and the medical devices
they use comprises the trillion dollar medical and health care’s takes part in the big data. This big data
5

in most cases is not collected in a systematic way and its storage is not effective, this make the info
which is valuable not to be aggregated, no analysis done and hence making them not to be available in
the format that can be accessed for improving the health care.
Cleveland Clinic being one of the biggest clinics in united states and with greater number of patients
should engage in using big data in driving the quality and the efficiency, hence creating more than $
100 billion annually and reducing the expenditures for health care by over 5% (van, 2017).
.
Cleveland Clinic big data will require very advanced technology for efficiency in processing its
services within given time before it elapsing. This will be done when Cleveland Clinic creates, collects
and searches while sharing its data and at the same time making sure that its privacy is ensured. With
all this put in place, analytics in hospitals especially Cleveland Clinic may be applied for bettering the
operations in the health care, tracking the results for the surgical and in cases of clinical guidelines or
procedures, also displaying the stay length in case one is admitted depending on the diagnosis, rate at
which a patient is admitted, rate at which a patient is infected, death rate, and ways of preventions.
Cleveland clinic is providing easy to use technologies that are internet based enabling the researchers
and the doctors in using their big data that is in advanced technology in a way that is strategic and
most of it all significant. This have allowed immediate search that is real time, cataloguing, and
collaborating with some of the sets of data that are termed to be largest globally. In Cleveland Clinic
privacy of the patient is a very key concern, a compliant like HIPPA for framework means for privacy
protection may be contracted by Cleveland clinic for stripping the patient’s identification for the big
data.
This will enable the hospital staff eg a doctor to the factors with regard to treatment offered affected
the outcomes and this is done with no violation of privacy of the patient and this is done for all
millions of patients across the world, records for clinics, and environments that are diverse. This
records of the patient will be accessed by Cleveland Clinic with a platform that will both serve the
providers and life sciences, businesses will be run in a more effective way and hence providing health
care services in a more economical way.
