Overview of the Patient Flow Collaborative

Jenny Bartlett

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

Institute for Healthcare Improvement

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

Clinical Champions

Marcus Kennedy

Why is Why is Clinical Clinical Leadership So Important?Leadership So Important?

• Have vision of what to change

–but may not know how (methods & resources)

• Understand how the system works

• Can drive progress through

–influence with managers

–clinical & professional networks

• Long term continuity

2000 Leadership at every level J Hardacre, HSJ, 2001

Clinician Leaders (inclusive definition) - Clinician Leaders (inclusive definition) - What are the Critical Success Factors?What are the Critical Success Factors?

• Empirically:

–Frustration with status quo

–Ownership of the problem

–Passion & commitment to change

–Willingness to challenge

–Protected time

“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.”

Institute of Medicine, USA“Crossing the Quality Chasm”

Where are we now?

Where do we

want to be?

The chasm! patient expectations public credibility outcomes access resources equity of service staff recruitment/retention funding

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

Creating and Leading Creating and Leading Innovation at Three LevelsInnovation at Three Levels

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

What do good leaders do ?What do good leaders do ?

• Articulating the vision & embodying values

“You must live the world you want to create.” Ghandi

• Innovation & creativity

• Working across boundaries

• Motivation

• Releasing talent

• Personal resources

Leadership at Every Level, Jeanne Hardacre, HSJ publications 2001 Workforce & development: Embodying leadership in the NHS. London; NHSE 2000

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

“If you think you are going to be successful running your business in the next ten years the way you did in the last ten, you’re out of your mind. To succeed, you have to disturb the present.”

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

Program Measures Program Measures

• 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%.
