AHSFMA Conference 17 November 2015
– AHSFMA Conference Lean and what to consider
– Master Class How it’s done!
– Case study
Improving business performance through active management
Promentor – Who we are
• On all state and federal government panels as well as bank panels
• Why are we different?
• A group of ex-CEO’s and senior managers as well as well experienced process Engineers that have run manufacturing and service companies for many years in the past with many years’ experience successfully restructuring and running companies in the real world at operational roles
• Now assist clients taking an active rather than passive role,
• We carry out process improvements with our automotive trained process engineers (Ex-Toyota and others) including implementation which is much more difficult
Hospital Experience
• Booking Office
• Pre Admission Clinic (PAC)
• Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD)
• Day procedures
• Theatre utilisation
• Imaging & staff rostering
• Processes between teams: • ED to ward to discharge • Surgery to ward to discharge • O&G to ward to discharge
Keep Lean Simple
• Principles. Tools. Application.
• The basic lean principles are common sense.
• Tools formalise common sense.
• Focuses on maximising current circumstances by eliminating waste.
• Optimisation should precede new investment.
Application of Lean Principles
• Case Study of Patient Discharge:
• Overall the objective is to free up assets to deliver more service without more investment
• The more localised objective is to meet the target objective check out time
• Tim is a practitioner, this is the nitty gritty • Look at a ‘familiar’ process, flow chart it in it’s various iterations, look at
further improvements, relate to ‘objectives’ • The intent is to relate the use of lean techniques to improvements which
enable improved results in line with strategic objectives.
• Before you choose to go down the ‘lean path’, understand why.
Case Study – Acute Ward Patient DischargeTim Alderman
Objective – Discharge Patients before 11am
• Clearly define and communicate improvement initiative
• Have valid reasons for undertaking the initiative
• Understand the impact of any change on upstream and downstream processes in the Overall Patient Journey
PRE-ADMISSION ADMISSION TREATMENT
POST HOSPITAL
Reasons for discharging patients before 11am
1. Bed management
2. Accommodate morning surgery patients requiring admission
3. Smooth transition for patients and staff
4. Improved Patient experience

Lean Tools and Techniques
• There are many lean tools and techniques available. It is imperative with any process improvement initiative to:
• Identify what data currently exists • Define additional data to collect / measure • Utilise the appropriate tools for analysis • Always seek staff input and validation of findings
Lean Tools and Techniques
• Process mapping
• Cause and effect diagrams
• Pareto analysis
• Data profiling
• KPI’s
• Bottleneck analysis

Approach
1. Data Analysis of Patient Discharge Times
• Establish what data is available (Patient Medical Records)
• Present data clearly with graphs
and diagrams
• Define current performance
• Set realistic targets
• Refine targets as appropriate
• Understand where you are ANALYSEREFINE

Data Profiling
• 25% achieve target time
• 25% Between 11am & 1pm
• 25% Between 1pm & 3pm
Approach
2. Identification of Blockers Delaying Discharge
• Define all possible delays • Identify long lead time items
for discharge planning
• Collect Pareto Data (Pareto reasons for delay)
• Understand what you can control

Approach
6. Process Map future Discharge Process
• Set initial target of 50% before 11am base on moving the 25% who leave between 11am & 1pm
• Data profile patient discharge time
• Implement initiatives (Internal designated team)
• Publish results
• Refine target as improvements implemented
• Reset target to 75% before 11am
• Based on moving the 25% who leave between 1pm & 3pm

What is the Learning?
• How well equipped do you now feel, given a small example and a full case study, to tackle change in your organisation?
• What else might you need?
How About?
• Experience
• Facilitation
• Time
• Priority
• Business as usual

MEASURE
DEFINE• Targets operational efficiency
• Requires well defined problems
• Relies on data analysis – multiple data sources
• Is a discipline that is easy to learn and hard to master
Things To Consider
• Identify waste (especially delays)
• Understand what data is available and how it may be turned into information. Or is it data for data’s sake?
• Identify labour efficiency opportunities (resequencing activities, improve rostering, stop doing non value adds)
• Identify asset utilisation problems. Can you ‘sweat the asset’ more?
• Do the best you can with what you have, before adding investment.
