1 Quality in Healthcare
2 Starting our Journey Some PDCA training but little structure for solving & improvement Knew buzzwords but limited application knowledge (PDCA) Focus on regulatory compliance Physicians not engaged in improvement activities Quality metrics reported regulatory little process measurements No assessments on internal quality system failures Blame RCA s limited to adverse events early warning signs not recognized Little knowledge of 7 Quality Tools Control charts?? Organization had not adopted a formal approach to quality mgmt
3 Munroe Today Quality foundation established High Level Sponsorship VP level monitoring of projects Project Oversight Steering Committee Standardized approach to projects & implementation Created Project Management Resource Manual Educational Series for all team members Lunch & Learn, SSGB, Lean, Implementation JIT project management training Taking PDCA to next level Adopted systematic organization wide approach for continually improving all process which deliver quality services & products
4 Munroe Regional Medical Center recommends the use of Project Management as a formalized and structured method of managing change. Project Management focuses on achieving specifically defined outputs that are to be achieved by a certain time, to a defined quality and with a given level of resources so that planned outcomes are achieved. It requires welldefined methods and techniques for managing a team of people to accomplish a series of work tasks within a well-defined schedule and budget to bring about beneficial change or added value.

14 Charter Problem Statement The current Universal Protocol process used in procedural areas has been increasingly ineffective as evident by the number of root causes performed since We have conducted 13 RCA s in 3 key areas: Radiology, OR and Transcription. There is a need to establish a robust process from the first step of information sharing to ensure correct patient, site and procedure are preformed each & every time. Even through the current process meets regulatory and/or accreditation requirements it has become evident that verifying critical error points and identification of critical to quality criteria has not been designed into our processes. This has resulted in a cumbersome process with extensive rework locating the appropriate documents needed by upstream processes. Also, the current process is void of visual cues and standardization.
15 Charter Deliverables GOAL: Design an effective Universal Protocol process to replace the current UP checklist process that is currently used. Process design should be inherent with lean methodologies to aid in creating a visual workplace. Process redesign to be completed with recommendation to sponsor(s) June In Scope 1. Procedural areas: OR, CVOR - transfer to other procedural areas after improvement (design). 2. Process Stakeholders 3. Dynamic Process Documents 4. Lean Improvement Strategies 5. Support functions 6. Project Mgmt Resource PDCA improvement structure 7. Surgeon office communication & relationship Out of Scope 1. All other areas that perform invasive procedures 2. Current regulatory requirements such as TJC or HIPPA. 3. Financial information and non clinical information received from patient. 4. Staffing patterns or process cycle times.
16 Identified Opportunities Booking Ticket One booking ticket for all service lines. One size does NOT fit all. Information obtained from surgeon office not consistent or missing vital information. Multiple calls to surgeon office to obtain information. Dynamic documents not identified as required early in process. Wrong information from the first step pushes wrong information downstream.

19 Project Solutions Add Engineering Controls & Visual Cues Use CTQ requirements to determine needs of next process owners Build process with visuals Add & Verify visuals at case cart process Move visuals to patient & OR suite Establish universal colors for laterality: Example: Lime = left Rose = Right Establish UP checklist as source of information not just a check mark

Case Cart Use of same color for laterality on cart. Remove visual and place on OR suite door while staging OR from case cart OR will validate laterality using visual and dynamic documents. OR will place card on visual of body in room.

29 UP Project Outcomes 1. Booking ticket is user friendly and is sent completed from the surgeon s office. 2. Visual Aids are used in process by all stakeholders and match correct laterality as defined on Critical Documents Order & Consent. 3. Surgical checklist is used by stakeholders & patient. Comments Positive feedback from users (surgeon s office). Information on ticket is complete. Information on ticket is accurate. Number of calls per ticket tracked. Positive feedback from users re: visual aids. Equipment/supplies for case is available (no delays). Visual Aid used in OR room match all Critical Documents and room is set up per correct procedure. Items listed on surgical checklist are complete and accurate. Patient has indicated on checklist the correct site/side. Next Steps: Getting corporate approval to use!!
