Signs of
Non-Value Added Steps
• Large file areas and frequent archiving
• Waiting time and multiple handoffs
• Written correspondence required for the process to complete
• Multiple approvals
• Frequent rework
• Process is seen as complex (mystical)
• Procedures passed on by word of mouth, no SOP’s or SOP’s don’t reflect
actual process

Six Sigma focuses on the “critical X” that drives process performance
more than any other variable.
The aim of Six Sigma is to fix the problem “for the last time”

What do they want?
Is the data clean or dirty?
What is the baseline performance?
What is the project objective?
What are the various x’s?
What are the critical x’s?
What solutions will control the x’s?
What are the specs for the x’s?
What is the data integrity of x’s?
What is the capability of the x’s?

Linking Lean and Six Sigma
• While Six Sigma will focus on the “critical few,” Lean focuses on the “trivial many”
• Lean focuses on speed, efficiency, and waste
• Six Sigma focuses, defects, variation and quality of products and processes

State of the Hospital – 2012
• Opened one year
• Volumes had been flat at about 50% occupancy since January – growth had stalled.
• Revenue cycle was broken – days in A/R of 150.
• Leadership was discouraged.
• Desire to be “world class” but not supported by excellent systems.
• Assets– Very talented and engaged team.
– Good job of employee selection.
– Patient Satisfaction scores in excess of 90th percentile.
34

Leadership Assessment
• Starts with Leadership – the entire team needs to be on board to support the program.
• CHC Executive Coach administered a behavioral and motivational assessment of the
hospital leadership team.
– Debriefed executives on results and behavioral characteristics.
– Compared characteristics with benchmarks of behaviors and values for Lean training developed by
Creative Healthcare.
– Improved the teams ability to understand the team dynamics as well as their own personal part of
it.
– Developed understanding of the Lean/Six Sigma program and their potential contribution to its
success.
• Perform baseline survey of management team to track culture improvement using three key
questions:
– How capable are we to articulate a vision of excellence for our patients and staff?
– How competent are we to mobilize resources toward that vision?
– How capable are we to sustain the positive changes we’ve made?

LLUMC-M Proof of Concept Project
Emergency Room – Left Without Being Seen
Problem Statement: The approximate percentage of patients that leave the ED without being seen by a MD is 7.85%. Operating at this rate, 2,865 patients will leave without being seen in 2013 for an approximate net revenue loss of $1,713,419. This figure does not include revenue potentially lost from patients admitted. Loss of revenue and loss of goodwill can have a continued and increasingly damaging impact on the viability of the institution, while being contradictory to the hospital’s healing mission.

The Case for Lean, Six Sigma & Innovation
• Lower “per unit” reimbursement.
• Higher Volumes due to expanded coverage.
• Focus on Quality/Patient Safety with meaningful
incentives and penalties.
• Integrated Healthcare delivery systems to
coordinate care for a population.

Burning Questions
• Do we have the necessary information and competencies to
manage the risk of populations?
• Are we proactively innovating ahead of external pressures?
• Do we have a robust methodology for developing and adapting
new approaches?
• What will it take to move our organization to where we want to
be?

Signs of Trouble…
• “That’s not what I meant”
• “That’s not how it’s done”
• “That’s not how we measure it”

A Leader’s Challenge: Contain Ambiguity

Proof of Concept from NPR
• Hearings attempt to distinguish detainees who are legitimately
being held from those to be released.
– A judge must decide whether the government has proven a detainee is
dangerous.
• Which standards should be used? The rules are so unclear
that judges are applying different standards – leading to
different outcomes based on the same evidence.
• "It would have helped if Congress had given us a definition (of
an enemy combatant)” said Judge Royce Lamberth. "The
Bush administration gave us four different definitions; the
Obama administration gave us another definition; each of our
courts is deciding for themselves the proper definition.”

Can we agree on the definition
of “a good cookie?”
…and apply it successfully?

Proof of Concept – Your Turn
57
Setup: You have been hired as a Quality Manager for an animal cracker business. The company has
a “zero defects” philosophy regarding its products. You are also on a QA team (at your table).
Work with your team to establish the operational definition for a perfect animal cracker. Embody the
delicate balance between quality and productivity. Due to time constraints, assume that crackers
surpass expectations regarding “taste” for your entire inventory.
Write the operational definition in the space indicated below (take 5 mins).
Open Product. To practice application of the definition, apply it to one bag of product. Count those
crackers meeting the definition (“Pass”) and those that do not (“Fail”). Tally the quantity of passing
product on a separate piece of paper. Name this result Trial A.
When finished with above step, switch your product AND definition with the team across from you.
Adopt their definition, and apply to their product. Repeat the inspection exercise and tally results.
Name this result Trial B.

Innovation: An Operational Definition
• Making meaningful change to improve healthcare services,
processes or organizational effectiveness and create new value for
stakeholders. Innovation involves adopting an idea, process,
technology, product or business model that is either new or new to its
proposed application. The outcome of innovation is a discontinuous
or breakthrough change in results, services, or processes [Source:
Baldrige]
• CAMC adds: Intervention that produces a statistically significant
change in results, or a 30% improvement over baseline

A3 Problem Solving Report
In the DEFINE section, the TOPIC/ISSUE
describes what is going on with this problem,
specifically through the eyes of the customer.
BACKGROUND/PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Includes information for understanding the issue.
(When, where, how does it occur? How big is
the problem? What is the impact?) Includes
history and data that is pertinent to the issue.
GOAL STATEMENT: Good problem and goal
statements are SMART: Specific, Measurable,
Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. Keep it
brief, simple, yet specific. Do not assign blame.
Do not assume solutions. You may not have
enough information at this point to complete the
goal statement. Review and update it after the
Analyze phase.

In the MEASURE section, the CURRENT
STATE of the problem is described.
Draw a diagram of how the work process
happens now. Do direct observation of the
work process to ensure that reality is
reflected. Highlight the specific problems/
issues/waste with storm clouds or stars.
What specifically about the problem/issue is
not defect-free? Can you measure the
waste?
BASELINE METRICS: Include pertinent
current state measurement data that is
aligned with the Problem Statement and
Goal Statement. Include specific
information for the source(s) of data, as well
as clear definitions for the metrics.

Under SHORT TERM SOLUTIONS, identify what
we are going to do in the short term to have
immediate impact on the problem. Short term
solutions should address any immediate safety or
major financial implications.
Under LONG TERM SOLUTIONS, identify what
we are going to do to move to the IDEAL STATE.
Solutions may need to be evaluated and
prioritized. Pilots or PDSA tests of change may
need to be conducted on solutions.
A cost/savings analysis and summary may be
required for solutions. This supports decision
making and prioritization of solutions, as well as
facilitates the effective management of resources.

A3 Problem Solving Report
In the MEASURE section, the CURRENT
STATE of the problem is described.
Current process reviewed:
•Admission
•Patient status change to inpatient
•Notification of pending discharge
•Nursing Discharge Checklist
BASELINE METRICS:
Only 17% of Medicare patients were
meeting the Important Message from
Medicare (MM) requirement using the
current process.

A3 Problem Solving Report
In the ANALYZE section, identify specific
problems and waste with the current condition.
Updated Goal Statement: Achieve 100%
compliance with IMM.
• Identified that the “Potential Discharge”
was not always getting placed. This order is
the trigger to start the workflow process.
• Staff (Health Unit Coordinators) did not
understand the importance of compliance.
•Communication breakdowns following
multi-disciplinary rounds
•Missed opportunity for workflow alerts

A3 Problem Solving Report
IDEAL FUTURE STATE
•IMM signed for all Medicare patients within 48 hours of
admission and 48 hours of discharge.
•Registration obtains admission IMM for patients
registered in Admitting or the Emergency Department.
•If the IMM is not obtained on admission, the Health Unit
Coordinator (HUC) on the inpatient unit receives an alert
at the 24th hour of admission and obtains the IMM.
•If a patient is admitted as observation status and then
coverts to inpatient status, the HUC will obtain an
admission IMM.
•If a patient is discharged to a lower level of care, a
discharge IMM is signed, dated and placed in the
medical record.

Under SHORT TERM SOLUTIONS, identify what we
are going to do in the short term to have immediate
impact on the problem.
Solutions – SHORT TERM•Assign ownership of daily Incomplete IMM Report•Determine root cause of defects•Benchmark•Determine additional root cause of defects in process:
1. admitted through the admitting department or ER 2. become an IP admission once on the nursing units 3. determination of anticipated discharge date4. completion of second IMM prior to discharge. 5. determining root cause of education and training
failures
Solutions – LONG TERM•All key process steps identified, performing as designed, monitored, and with zero errors.

“Red Oceans” vs. “Blue Oceans”
Red Ocean Blue Ocean
Compete in existing market space
Increase share – fight for existing demand
Create uncontested market space
Increase market – Create new demand
Exploit existing demand
Get bigger share of customers
Either differentiate or be low-cost leader
Don’t get stuck “in the middle”
Segment the market
Focus on special needs
Create and capture new demand
Look for non-customers
Differentiation AND low cost
Simultaneous pursuit = Value Innovation
De-segment the market
Look for widely shared needs

2005 Missed the Green
• My Initial focus on Innovation– No time to innovate? Hired analyst
– Leaders not ready/field unplowed
– Had the ‘curves’ backwards

“It takes meta-cognition,

to bring to light what the group has buried in a grave
of indifference or suppression.
Clarity begins with realizing what we do not notice,
and don’t notice what we don’t notice.”

Avoiding the binge/purge cycle of fads & reactivityStrategic Program Unit Review (SPUR)
142
• Repeating process reviewing all programs and service units– Asks what, why, how, how well, how can we do it better?
– Objective
– Systematic
– Consistent
• Each review models a scenario for program/unit:– Growth
– Improvement
– Repositioning
• SPUR integrates LEAN principles such as: • Outside eyes
• A3 planning
• Improvement toolbox
• Elevates “ideal future state” definition for a given process to disruptive ideation

Strategic Program Unit Review (SPUR)What great thing would you attempt
if you knew you could not fail?
• Creates a safe place for leaders to ask for help and redesign their service delivery with the knowledge that every program undergoes SPUR every 3-4 years
• Routinely ‘cleaning our closets’ frees energy & resources
• Team approach hardwires buy-in for big things
• Uses “outside eyes” to spur creativity
• Nearly 20% of the time, we transition to a new business model
