Partnership agreementPartnership agreement
• Please remember that the patient flow collaborative is based on a partnership and is tailored to your organisational leads. There are no passengers and no dictators we are all in it together.
Patient Flow Collaborative
The challenge is to revolutionise our
expectations of health care: to design a
continuous flow of work for clinicians and a
seamless experience of care for patients.
Donald.M.BerwickPresident and CEO

DiplopiaDiplopia
Shared vision results from a combination of good leadership and good followership. We assume the former and disregard the latter.
Why Collaborate?Why Collaborate?• Part by part improvement
- nurses improving nursing- doctors improving doctoring
- pharmacists improving pharmacy
• Working together they improve systems
• Risks of not doing this……
Issues
• Excellent innovation in pockets• Long waits in ED• Elective surgery waiting times• Inpatient delays
– Specialist Consultation– Specialist tests– Access to OR
Mirror mirror on the wallMirror mirror on the wall
How does an organisation know that its view of reality matches that of its
workforce and consumers.
Process
• Use Breakthrough collaborative Methodology with Whole system thinking
• Rigorous Diagnostics to give a base line– Matrix diagnostics to show high level constraints
• Improvement plans following the diagnostic stage• In priority order• Tested on small scale • Spread across organisation

“The challenge is to bring the full potential benefit of effective health care to all… this challenge demands a readiness to think in radically new ways about how to deliver health care services.”

The gap is growing!
Central truths of innovationCentral truths of innovation
• Every system is perfectly designed to get the results that it gets
• If we want different performance, we must change the system
• To change the system, we must think in fundamentally different ways
Factors That Can Drive the Business Factors That Can Drive the Business Case For InnovationCase For Innovation
• Patient/family expectations• Politician/public expectations• Competitive pressures (business environment)
• Cost containment• Technology enablers• Changing workforce• Reconfiguration and capacity change• Drive for excellence (strategic aspirations)
• Incremental approach– reduces threat (spread)
– increases ownership (sustainability)
• Better understanding – redesign methods & skills
– simple rules
• Showing tangible benefits– Benefits to patients (‘technical’)
– ‘Now I can play more golf!’ - what’s in it for me? - cultural
– Ignore the human dimensions of change and you will surely fail

Tools and techniques for us:Tools and techniques for us:
• build on existing creative thinking and rapid cycle improvement methods
• locate natural champions for innovation and invite them to help with clinical innovation team once diagnostic completed
• past innovators to serve as coaches; beware: not all innovators are good coaches

The K2 Paradox
Change something everyday to produce a stable routine of continuous evolution (improvement).
Change is inevitable, Change is inevitable, except from a vending machineexcept from a vending machine
Aim of the rigorous diagnostic phase
Overall aims• identify constraints across the patient journey• Engage key staff in the process ready to
implement change• Find any myths

• Patient Journey Time in ED (SPC chart)• Percentage and Number of ED Admissions waiting <12 hrs (SPC chart)• Percentage of ED Throughput <6hrs (SPC chart)• Patient Journey Time on Waiting List (SPC chart)• Patient Waiting Times for Admitted Patients from Waiting List (Pareto
chart)• Cancellations (HIPs) per 100 Admissions (Line chart)• Average Admissions & Discharges by day of week (Bar chart)• Length of Stay – Medical/Surgical/Other (Pareto chart)• Number of Unplanned Readmissions within 28 days by day (SPC chart)
Percentage of ED Admissions waiting <12 hours Percentage of ED Admissions waiting <12 hours - Chart- Chart
For the period Jul03 to Feb04 between 59% and 86% of ED patients waiting for admission to a ward could expect to wait less than 12hrs.
The average number of patients admitted within 12hrs per week was 73%, with a target of 95%.

procedure and that the processwill take about 20 minutes
10.28Examination starts, ultrasound gel is applied, the
radiologist checks theultrasound screen
10.29Radiologist checks
patients past ultra soundimages, the lump is deeper
than he had anticipated
10.30 Radiologist explains that the
lump looks benign, that hewill measure its size and
reassures the patient that he would be surprised if it was a
. Explains to patient thatthe biopsy sample will give
the definitive answer
10.32Radiologist marks area for core biopsy
gun to penetrate. Explains that the needlewill be inserted briefly, but will give ptLA first, pt is concerned about 2 needles
being used, asks if she can be repositioned,and asks if lump is cancer or cyst.
Radiologist explains that it is probably afibramoma (a bristly type lump which arefairly common). Patient says she does not
want surgery. Radiologist says that she candiscuss this with MS Shah

diagnostic phase
Completion of diagnostic Completion of diagnostic phase phase
• Review all of the 5 tools together and priorities the constraints that are causing the most disruption to the larges patient group.
• Identify the clinical area team that is needed to carry forward the innovations from the diagnostics
Review meetingReview meeting
• Collaborative team wish to be involved • Feedback at the first learning session
Handy hintsHandy hints
• Share the work • Gain as many views as you can• Use this phase to find the constraints
and test assumptions• Enjoy the focus on patient process• Have fun
Aim of team planning time
• Dedicated time for team planning together
• Chance to network with other organizations
• Practice mapping before real event
TasksTasks
• Confirm team structure and contact details
• Allocate tasks for the rigorous diagnostic phase against the time planner
• Process map
How to get going How to get going
• Discuss tasks and what needs to be completed today
• Look through the templates • Agree time for tasks to be completed
today• Remember to think about how to use
these tools to unfreeze environment that are going to innovate in the next phase
