Raised to 75 by an escalation rule

At least one affected area is rated Major. The weighted total was 62.2, which understates a change of this severity, so the rule sets a minimum.

Where the points came from

  • How many areas are affected9.5 / 15

    7 of the 11 listed areas were rated above N/A.

  • How severely those areas are affected10.7 / 15

    Across the 7 areas that were rated, the average is 2.1 on the Minor-to-Major scale. Areas marked N/A are excluded here — they are counted in the breadth dimension above.

  • Departments affected9.0 / 15

    3 of 5 departments were selected.

  • Operational categories affected6.3 / 10

    5 of the 8 operational categories were answered Yes.

  • How many stakeholder groups are affected7.5 / 10

    6 of the 8 stakeholder groups were rated above N/A.

  • How severely those groups are affected7.2 / 10

    Across the 6 groups that were rated, the average is 2.2 on the Minor-to-Major scale.

  • Compliance and risk position5.0 / 10

    Compliance review: yes. Risk assessment: yes. A completed risk assessment scores zero here — the points reflect what is outstanding.

  • Implementation complexity7.0 / 15

    Training yes, pilot yes, rollback plan yes, 3 communication methods, go-live in 114 days.

This score reflects the breadth and severity of the structured impacts identified in the request. Written descriptions provide review context but do not directly change the score.

How this was calculated

Each dimension is scored against its own maximum and the eight are added together. Grid questions are read twice, once for breadth and once for severity, because those are different questions with different denominators:

  • Breadth counts rows marked N/A in the denominator. That is what makes a change touching one of eleven areas read as narrow, and a change touching eight read as wide.
  • Severity excludes them. One area hit as hard as possible is fully severe; it should not read as mild merely because the form lists eleven areas.

The highest individual impact identified above is a fact about the answers, not a second classification. Its role in the calculation is to trigger the escalation floors below.

Escalation rules that matched

  • At least one affected area is rated Major — sets a minimum of 75 (this one governs)
  • At least one stakeholder group is rated Major — sets a minimum of 75
  • A Major rating in a critical area — clinical care, patients, compliance, technology, or reporting — sets a minimum of 75

These weights are a draft. They were proposed for review and have not been approved as IDEL policy. Changing them produces a new scoring version, so past scores keep meaning what they meant when they were calculated.
