4 Quality Cycle 10 Implementation Model for Lean Six Sigma (DMAIC) Define - What is the business case for the project? - Identify the customer - Current state map - Future state map - What is the scope of the project? - Deliverables - Due date Control - During the project, how will I control risk, quality, cost, schedule, scope, and changes to the plan? - What types of progress reports should I create? - How will I assure that the business goals of the project were accomplished? - How will I keep the gains made? Measure - What are the key metrics for this business process? - Are ethe metrics valid dand reliable? abe - Do we have adequate data on this process? - How will I measure progress? - How will I measure project success? Improve - What is the work breakdown structure? - What specific activities are necessary to meet the project's goal? - How will I re-integrate the various sub projects? Analyze - Current state analysis - Is the current state as good as the process can be? - Who will help make the changes? - Resource requirements - What could cause this change effort to fail? - What major obstacles do I face in completing the project? 11 Lean Six Sigma: What Is It? Lean Six Sigma: An improvement methodology with a focus on two critical principles 1. Elimination of waste (Lean) defined as anything that does not add value to the patient (includes WAITING) 2. Elimination of variation of outcomes (Six Sigma) utilizing the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) model for continuous improvement Variation = undesirable outcomes (i.e., off target) 12 4

5 Components of Quality Program Monitor activities system-wide Provide education in quality improvement Promote awareness of quality initiatives Oversee clinical activities in a consultative (non-punitive) manner Promote initiatives that can be either organization-wide or clinic/specialty/service/department focused Create and/or utilize best practices and shares throughout organization Ensure robust peer review 13 Monitors - OU Physicians Clinic site reviews Clinical quality and patient safety indicators Accreditation standards National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) Incident reports Patient complaints/compliments Key Indicator report regarding Operations Medical record review Disruptive and impaired practitioner and staff Dismissal of patients Clinical competency (clinical orientation, assessment of skills) Communicating test results Satisfaction surveys Patient Physician Employee 14 OU Physician's Overall Scores 80 OVERALL PATIENT SATISFACTION ALL FACILITIES PERCENTILE RANK 70 king Percentile Rank 60 Began 50 monitoring results 40 through Press- Ganey Partnered with Studer Group.
