Quality in Primary Care
“The extent to which health services provided to individuals and patient populations improve desired health outcomes. The care should be based on the
strongest clinical evidence and provided in a technically and culturally competent manner with good communication and shared decision making. “
As defined by the Institute of Medicine (IOM)

…From Your Change ExperiencesElements that Distinguish Successful from Unsuccessful Change:
1. Generate a list of essential characteristics of successful or unsuccessful change using only pictures/drawings.

Exercise
2. Mark each picture on your flipchart with a “Q” for quality of the solution or “A” for alignment, acceptance or accountability.

GE’s Change Research
•100% of all changes evaluated as “Successful” had a good technical solution or approach
•Over 98% of all changes evaluated as“Unsuccessful” also had a good technical solution
or approach
•What is the differentiating factor between success and failure?

Effective Change Equation
Effective Results (E) are equal to the Quality (Q) of the solution times the Alignment (A), Acceptance (A) and Accountability (A)
of the idea
Q x A3 = E

Leading Change
Having a sponsor/champion and team members who demonstrate visible, active, public commitment and support of the change.
Creating A Shared Need
The reason to change, whether driven by threat or opportunity, is instilled within the organization and widely shared through data, demonstration or demand. The need for change must exceed its resistance.
Shaping A Vision
The desired outcome of change is clear, legitimate, widely understood and shared; the vision is shaped in behavioral terms.
Mobilizing Commitment
There is a strong commitment from constituents to invest in the change, make it work, and demand and receive management attention; Constituents agree to change their own actions and behaviors to support the change.
Making Change Last
Once change is started, it endures, and learnings are transferred throughout the organization. Change is integrated with other key initiatives; early wins are encouraged to build momentum for the change.
Monitoring Progress
Progress is real; benchmarks set and realized; indicators established to guarantee accountability.
Changing Systems And Structures
Making sure that the management practices (Staffing, Development, Rewards, Measures, Communication, Organizational Design, and Information Technology Systems) are used to complement and reinforce change

PCMH & Lean“ To facilitate this transformation,
Group Health adopted the principles and tools of the Lean Management System (Womack & Jones, 2005). Lean is based on the Toyota Production Model for quality improvement, and focuses on creating value for the customer and minimizing inefficiency. Lean combines major process redesign—using process mapping, gap analyses, and design workshops—with tools to monitor and improve upon changes including visual displays (eg, work processes, daily data collection), tiered measurement systems, regular in person visits to clinics known as “leadership rounding” and Plan-Do-Check- Adjust (PDCA) cycles. Lean emphasizes work standardization within roles and across job sites.”

Over-production
Waiting
Not Clear (Confusion)
Transportation
Inventory
Motion
Extra Processing Inventory

Waste DefinitionsDefects Any operation that does not meet customer requirement
Overproduction Production of items beyond what is needed for immediate use
Waiting Any delay where the product/patient is not involved in a task
Not Clear People doing the work are not confident about the best way to perform tasks
Transportation Movement of patients, supplies, or information by staffInventory Having too little or too many supplies for the task at hand
or a build up of products, supplies, or patientsMotion Movement of people (bending, sitting, searching,
climbing, etc.)Extra Processing
Doing more work than is necessary to satisfy your customers often because of defects

Examples of 8 Wastes
Page 22
Defects Medication errors; Retesting; Incorrect charges/billing
Overproduction Prepping for procedures not yet scheduled; Multiple forms with same information; Copies of forms sent to payers automatically when not needed/requested
Waiting Waiting for member of the care team; Waiting for patient test results; Waiting for pre-authorizations for treatment
Not Clear Same activities performed in different ways by different people; Unclear system for indicating charges for billing
Transportation Transporting patients for testing/treatment; Transporting equipment; Transporting documents
Inventory Excessive lab supplies; Excessive patient labels; Overstocked medications
Motion Looking for information, materials, people, equipment; Rearranging equipment/instruments
Extra Processing Redundant information gathering; Unessential regulatory paperwork; Clarifying orders; Excessive authorizations

Value and Waste in Healthcare
• Value added (VA): Any activity that changes the form, fit, or function of a product/transaction or something customers are willing to pay for
• Value Enabling (VE) / NVA-Essential (NVA-E): an activity that doesn’t directly add value but one that must be performed to realize VA activity
• Non-value added (NVA): All other actions and unwanted features are by definition WASTE

Improve to Perfection
Keep the customer in focus…are we adding value?
Reducing waste brings us closer to perfection
As we reduce inventory/overproduction in the process, bottlenecks can be exposedand worked on as next steps
Continuously find ways to improve the process

Assume the role of the “product” and flow through the process. In manufacturing they are encouraged to “be the part”, so we should “be the
patient” and flow through the process as the patient does.
Once Value is Defined – Walk the ProcessLean searches for facts via observation
To learn the facts, the team must:• Physically go to the work• Actually observe the work being done• Talk directly to those performing the work

Value Stream Mapping
• A Value Stream Map (VSM) is a graphic map of all steps that occur from the specific request for a service to the actual delivery.
This provides us with a simple means to see!

Facilitatating Change: Key Questions
Who should be involved in the change?• Practice staff• Others?
How do we communicate about the change?• Elevator speech• Communication plan
When will the change happen?• Are there other initiatives/major changes occurring?
What obstacles or challenges do we anticipate?• Staff resistance or pushback

Key Components of Understanding the Process:1.Observations
• Follow patients, products and staff to understand the value added steps and identify waste in process
2. Interviews and discussion• Gain insight from experts of the process (staff involved in
the process)
3.Data collection and analysis• Use process data to pinpoint causes and remove bias

1. Form the appropriate team, gather materials (banner paper, Post-It® notes, markers, dots) and find a wall space large enough to accommodate the completed map.
2. Define the process to be reviewed. Name it. Agree on the process start and end. The start and end should match the scope of the project written in the charter.
3. Determine how complex and detailed of a map you will need to give you what you want.
4. Assign symbols: - Rectangle for steps- Oval for start and stop- Diamond for decision

5. Identify the process steps Start by rapidly writing process steps on Post-It® notes and placing them
on the paper. Write large with one process step or item per Post-It® note. Don’t worry about order, don’t worry about priorities, just list them!
6. Now sequence the steps - arrange the steps the way work is currently done and draw arrows.
7. Validate the map to ensure it represents the situation as it really is today. Change the process map to correspond with the physical process.

Validate the Process Map1. Are the process steps identified correctly?
2. Is every feedback loop closed?
3. Does every arrow have a beginning and ending point?
4. Is there more than one arrow from an activity box? Perhaps it should be a diamond.
5. Is there anything missing?
6. Do the workers who do the process every day agree that the map reflects reality?
7. Ask the questions:• What happens if…?• What could go wrong?• Who…?• How…?• When…?
8. Update the map
Walk through the actual process with the entire
team.

Value added (VA) Activities that provide value to the customer or that the customer would be willing to pay for. Direct patient care activities are typically value added.
Value enabling (VE) or
Non-value added but essential (NVA-E)
Activities that enable value added activities to occur.
Activities that add no value to the customer but in today’s environment are essential for business such as regulations or compliance requirements.
Travel (NVA) Time and distance it takes for caregivers, patients, supplies/equipment, etc. to travel for each step of the process.
Wait (NVA) Time that patients, caregivers, or materials wait for equipment, supplies, to be transported, etc.
Non-value added other (NVA)
Any other non-value added activity that you observe such as duplicate sign-ins, going to multiple locations to register, documentation of same information in multiple locations, duplicate methods of communication.

How do we Find the Root Cause?
Asking 5 Whys is one way

• A fundamental Lean principle used to identify the root cause(s) of problems in a process.

Ask the 5 “Whys”
Why are there delays in checking patients in?
If there are new patients, they have to be registered and the process takes a long time, especially in Adult Medicine.
Why does it take so long to register new patients in Adult Medicine?
Patients being seen for the first time at the health center have to complete a “New Patient” formand many patients require assistance.
Why do patients need assistance completing the forms?
Because of low reading levels and/or language barriers so the front desk staff has to assist new patients in completing the forms.
Why does the front desk staff have to be responsible for completing and entering the forms?
Because the front desk staff are the most appropriate staff to help since the forms are completed when the patients present to the health center.
Why do the forms have to be completed when the patients present to the health center?
This has been the protocol for all new patients in adult medicine…… in other words, they don’t have to be completed at that point!

3 D’s MatrixData/Diagnosis (What data do we have to convince them?)Refers to the degree to which internal and/or external sources of data frame the need for change (such as facts, surveys, benchmarking or competitive data).
Demonstration (give me examples – show me where it’s working)Refers to a specific example you can point to. Such as the role that Leaders are showing, role of Best Practice sites or pilot projects can play in creating the need for change.
Demand (Government regulations, I’ll lose my job is I don’t do this)Refers to actions/ behaviors/goals set by senior leaders or others that will signal a need for people to change (such as making Quality the first topic discussed at every staff meeting and incorporating participation in the Quality initiative part of the compensation process). Could also be the demand the Customer, Competition, or internal Employees are placing on the change.

Q. What are we Looking for?
Data collection is essential any time you undertake a performance improvement, and in each phase the goals will differ:
In Define Phase, to understand the problem and get an idea of the magnitude of the problem
In Measure and Analyze Phase, to dig deeper or investigate additional possible variables
In Improve Phase, to validate that improvements are successful
In Sustain Phase, to be sure that improvements are sustained

Spaghetti Mapping: What is it?
A diagram that shows the motion of the patient, family, caregiver, and/or supply throughout the care experience or process
It shows us where the operators go throughout the observation

Spaghetti Mapping: Getting Started
Identify the area, task or function that needs to be evaluated.
Obtain or create a layout of the area where the task is held (e.g. layout map of the urgent care department including the waiting room).
Talk to the person(s) that you are planning to follow so they understand the process and are not uncomfortable, share your observations after observations are done.
Identify landmarks in the layout so you can quickly find your way.

![Page 73: 2013 Annual Clinical Conference Lean 101: Overview of the ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042311/625bb9602b095e456774fb0c/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Spaghetti Mapping: Getting Started
In pairs, take a pedometer and the layout of the area (If you are working alone, then concentrate on the layout portion first, and do measurements later).
Pick a typical case and follow your ‘mark’ as he/she goes through the various steps.
Replicate the path of the ‘mark’ on the layout and document total distance.

Spaghetti maps show where patients/staff move during a process. This tool provides a visual mechanism to identify physical bottlenecks, excess motion, unnecessary motion, rework, etc.
In this case, multiple functions need access to two supply rooms, so a possible improvement will include opening access to these rooms.

Sources of Data
Existing Data: always start here! Things like…• Patient Satisfaction
• Continuity With Care Team
• Call Abandonment Rates
• Expenses
Benefits of using existing electronic data• Easier to collect and analyze
• Not dependent on a few people and can be easily accessed by many helps sustain gains in the long run

When Existing Data Aren’t Available
1) Find a collection point in the process (use process map)
2) Consider how the data collection will integrate with jobs and the surroundings
3) Design a form:a) Check Sheet: simple mark captures data
for easy tally
b) Data Sheet: enter values for later tally and calculation

DefinitionDefinition
Elements of acheck sheet
Things to remember
– Check sheets organize data collection when values can be simply “checked off”
– Check sheets standardize both the data that are collected and the data collection process
– Description of what data are being collected– Places to put the checks or values– Room for comments and annotations
– The simpler the better– Avoid including irrelevant data– Test the form in the early stages of form design
and involve the data collectors in the design of the form

When Existing Data Aren’t Available
4) Flow of forms:a) Follows the process attached to chart or carried by patient
b) Kept in one place and completed at one point in the process (next to phone, taped to door)

Why Draw a Histogram?
Definition:
A histogram is a picture of how the process works (technically, a frequency distribution).
Purpose:
• Variation is natural – it’s a part of every process.
• Variation has a pattern, and reveals something about the way the process works.

Pareto Introduction and Example
• Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923): 80% of the wealth in Italy was concentrated in 20% of the populace – hence, the “80/20 rule.”
• 80/20 applies often in performance improvement: among a group of factors contributing to a problem, 20% of those factors contribute 80% of the undesirable effect.

When to use a Pareto Chart
Purpose:
• Use when you’ve brainstormed a list of plausible causes, and you have data on the effect of these causes
• Juran: principle of the “Vital Few” and “Useful Many”
How to Draw:
• Pareto: a simple bar chart (not a histogram)
• Create a table of causes, with the frequency of each cause
• Sort the causes by the frequency
• Graph the data

How to Interpret a Pareto Chart
How to interpret:
• Look for the “Vital Few” and “Useful Many”
• The “Vital Few” often add up to 80%, but they don’t have to – use the picture to see what stands out, not just the 80% point
• Look more carefully into the “Vital Few” causes

Standard WorkWhat is it?The best known combination of people, materials, machines and space carrying out production in the most efficient method.
Why is it important?•Basis for consistent quality
•Reduce variation
•Process stability
•The foundation for improvement
•There is no improvement in the absence of standardization.
Moves us towards predictable, high quality outcomes with repeatable steps

Standardization Questions
1. Are there any standards?2. Are intended users aware that they exist?3. Are the standards enforced?4. Are the intended users following the
standards?5. Has there been adequate training on the
standards?6. Do the standards need to be revised?7. Even if the standards are clear is it so easy
to make a mistake that we need to fool-proof the process?
Yes No

Using Tools to Create a Standard Work EnvironmentStandard work will establish the “best practice” activities which minimize waste and variation.
• Established in the workplace by those who actually do the work
• Each employee is expected to actively participate in the improvement of the standardized work on a continuous basis.
Components of standard work include:• Work sequence• Standard set up

Standard set up
Components of Standard Work
The standard equipment and supplies set up in the way they will be used
e.g. standard set-up of supplies and equipment needed to assess vital by medical assistant

Things to Remember about Standard Work• Enables all employees to identify problems• The foundation for consistent and stable quality• Living, dynamic tool that makes changes and
improvements possible• Standardized work should be changed:
• After improvements are made to a process• If external customers demand changes
• Work must be written down to be standardized• Established in the workplace by those who actually
do the work

Lean Demands Simplification
The challenge is to simplify: • Processes… too many steps • Products… unneeded
complexity • Policies and procedures…
1,000s of pages• Reports… too much data, too
little information• Metrics… too many

Why is Leveling Important?
Removing unevenness in the system improves staff and customer satisfaction. It helps to:
• Set expectations with customers; steady process
• Reduces “burn out” among employees; less fire fighting
• Better utilization of resources and, less downtime and/or overtime

Leveling Processes
Look to level processes within a department at first. Some ways to level include:
• Redistributing tasks within department to even out workload
• Eliminating waste from the current operation
• Flexing resources as customer demand increases

Leveling: How to Start
• Understand the process -observations and data are crucial!
• Remember to engage the process experts (they know process and will sustain it).

5S and Visual Management
to maintain and improve sort, set-in-order, shine, and standardize
Sort to separate the needed items from the un-needed items which are then removed to a "red-tagged" location
Set InOrder to arrange in a way for how the remaining items will
be used
Shine to maintain the work area for the already sorted and set-in-order items
Standardize to ensure sort, set-in-order, and shine are consistently followed across all users

Common Cause Variation
Natural variation in the processEvery process experiences natural variation, even machines.
Example: Check-in – If we use the same process every time, will it always take exactly the same amount of time?
Leadership takes responsibility for maintaining a consistent process. A consistent process will exhibit Common Cause variation, and that is normal.

Special Cause Variation
A special event, sometimes a one-time occurrence, changes the performance of the process.Something has changed – it’s not just normal variation.
A process improvement is a type of Special Cause variation.
