Clinical Workflow Analysis
Analyze clinical workflows to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities using Lean healthcare principles and value stream mapping techniques.
Overview
This skill enables systematic analysis of clinical workflows in healthcare settings. It encompasses process mapping, waste identification, bottleneck analysis, and improvement opportunity identification using Lean healthcare methodologies.
Capabilities
Process Mapping
- Create current state maps
- Document workflow steps
- Identify handoffs and decision points
- Map information flows
- Capture time metrics
Value Stream Analysis
- Distinguish value-added activities
- Identify non-value-added steps
- Calculate process efficiency
- Map patient flow
- Analyze cycle times
Bottleneck Identification
- Identify capacity constraints
- Analyze queue buildups
- Assess resource utilization
- Find delay causes
- Measure wait times
Improvement Planning
- Design future state workflows
- Prioritize improvement opportunities
- Develop implementation plans
- Define success metrics
- Plan change management
Usage Guidelines
Analysis Process
- Define scope and objectives
- Observe and document current state
- Create process maps
- Collect time and volume data
- Identify wastes and constraints
- Develop improvement recommendations
- Design future state
Lean Healthcare Wastes
- Defects (errors, rework)
- Overproduction (unnecessary services)
- Waiting (delays)
- Non-utilized talent
- Transportation (unnecessary movement)
- Inventory (excess supplies)
- Motion (unnecessary steps)
- Extra processing
Documentation Standards
- Use standard mapping notation
- Include quantitative data
- Document assumptions
- Note data sources
- Maintain version control

gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
