Once upon a time The year is 2009 ED = Fixer Upper 30% staff turnover 20% of payroll was OT Patient Satisfaction = 7 th percentile! Paper charting system Mediocre performance 23
Performance Examples Measure Standard CH ED (before) EKG within 10 min 90% 30% Pain tx within 60 min 60 min 180 min Pain rating on all patients 100% 20% Weighing every patient before tx 100% 10% 24
The 3 Ps People Patients Processes 25
Let s Get To Work! 26
People Predictability Policies, evals, schedules HR issues Safety Fill open positions Set and maintain standards Violence in ED 27
