Balanced Scorecard
The internal business processes perspective of the balanced scorecard highlights metrics that allow managers to understand how well their business is running. These processes should be tied closely to enhancing financial objectives, and should reflect a high level of congruence with the customer and learning & growth perspectives as well (BSI, 2013).
The organization's mission and vision should be the basis for this analysis. At Cattaraugus Rehabilitation Center the focus is on improving patient outcomes and containing costs, so the metrics used in the internal processes perspective should reflect this. The first metric is to improve patient success rates. This has to be defined, but for each rehabilitation case there are specific objectives that are set within the industry based on medical science and industry knowledge. There is some leeway for medical staff to change the measures of success where unique circumstances arise. Thus, the first objective is going to be to get the patient success rate to 99% from its current rate of 98%. This represents an improvement in patient outcomes. This measure is the output of a lot of hard work, in particular with respect to the training of staff in critical areas. So now that there is a metric...
However, each rehabilitation is different, but there will be investments in new technologies that will improve the diagnostic process as well as the processes in the rehabilitation. Computer-assisted diagnostic modelling investments will help improve patient outcomes, especially when combined with improved training on such techniques.
A second metric is going to be to improve administrative efficiency. This will be measured by administrative expense as a percentage of revenue. Even though Cattaraugus is a not-for-profit clinic, it needs to maintain a healthy financial situation. The measure of using a percentage is based on the financial accounting technique of vertical analysis wherein the line items are weighted against revenues. One of the key drivers of costs at the administrative level is the need for overtime, so the best way to address this objective with action is to find ways to reduce overtime. This will require investments in new software, in order to streamline the processes by which the company does its document-processing. There is still a lot of work that it done with paper records rather than electronic records at Cattaraugus, so there getting more information into electronic format will help…

Balanced Scorecard Google's internal business processes are surprisingly informal for a group of engineers. Rather, Google likes to encourage the creative side of their workers, and so there is an emphasis on projects, even where there is no clear objective at the outset. The company also embarks on projects where there is no clear profit potential -- such is life at a company with $50 billion in the bank. The reality

BSC Customer One of the aspects of the balanced scorecard framework is the customer service perspective. This perspective is based on the idea that there is "an increasing realization of the importance of customer focus and customer satisfaction in any business" (BSI, 2013). The general idea is that there is a strong link between pleasing the customer and achieving the desired financial results in particular. If nothing else, it is critical
Balanced Scorecard: Internal Business Perspective Increasingly companies large and small are implementing the balanced scorecard (BSC) as "a management system that enables organizations to clarify their vision and strategy and translate them into action" (Balanced Scorecard Institute. N.D.). In Kaplan and Norton's framework of the BSC they articulated four distinct perspectives: financial, customer, internal process, and learning and growth; because "financial measures alone were not sufficient to measure performance" (Gumbus, A.
This allows for greater levels of planning and cooperation, and fills in the information gap that currently exists between the factory floor and the rest of the supply chain. Lexmark provides an example of waste. Recently, the company found itself with more than $1 million in scrap from one lot. Engineers had insufficient information to isolate and fix the problem, so were instead relegated to crisis control. With more accurate
