Cure Team Power Distance minimizing behaviors (tone) Thinking behaviors (tool) Thinking in team behaviors (tools) Hourly rounding (structure) Bedside reporting (structure) AIDET (tool + tone) Communication boards (structure) Discharge phone calls (process) Care Team High reliability innovator, W. Edwards Deming, dramatically broadened the definition of "customer" to include both internal and external customers. Each person or step in a process was to be treated as a "customer" and to be supplied with exactly what was needed, at the exact time needed. Include patient and family as members of the Collegial Interactive Team (CIT). Unify all behaviors into a single high-reliability bundle, and treat everyone like a customer (i.e. tone plus tools).

Clinical Quality + Perceptual Quality Cared For + Cared About Expected + Not Expected That results in the WOW! Slide 5 Clinical Quality Technical Aspects of Care Was blood drawn correctly? Was the X-ray clear? Was the clinical pathway followed? Did the registrar enter all my insurance information correctly? Did the doctor practice evidence-based medicine? Perceptual Quality Service Aspects of Care Did it hurt? Was the table too cold and hard? How long was the wait? Was I greeted with a smile and told what happens next? Was the doctor compassionate?

Non-Technical Skills Non-technical skills describe how people interact with technology, environment, and other people. These skills are similar across a wide range of job functions. These skills include attention, information processing, and cognition. Generic non-technical skills: Situational awareness Attention Communication repeat backs call outs phonetic & numeric clarification clarifying questions inquiry, advocacy, assertion Critical thinking Protocol use Decision-making Flin, O Connor, and Crichton Safety at the Sharp End Slide 2 Power Distance Large Distance Relations are autocratic and paternalistic Power acknowledged based on formal, hierarchical positions Small Distance Relations are consultative and democratic Relate as equals regardless of formal positions The perceived distance not necessarily the real difference as seen by the subordinate Reference: Hofestede, Geert. Culture s Consequences, 200 (2 nd edition). Slide 22
Collegial Interactive Teams (CIT) = Tone + Tools Setting the tone You had me from Hello - Greetings include first names - Cordiality, openness - Eye contact and body language Team goals - Use we and us vs. I and you - What s best for the patient Invite a Questioning Attitude - Leaders set the tone for the flow of information - If any member of the team sees anything that is unsafe, I expect you to speak up...

Getting Started. Recast safety first leadership as high reliability leadership 2. Modify the transformation team(s) 3. Study strengths, weaknesses, and opportunity 4. Culture (re)design for leadership and staff/medical staff 5. Align behavior, structure, and process/protocol: a. Include behaviors in behavior bundles b. Develop specific bundles for structure, process, and protocol 6. Educate/train leaders, medical staff, and staff a. Shrink the Change to minimize disruption b. Use culture in a box to maximize learning effectiveness Slide 25 Evidence-based leadership for Safety (high reliability) requires less change. Lead the safety journey Message safe, effective, patient-centered Expand purpose and scope Expand purpose and scope Use as opportunity to adjust leader behaviors Slide 26 3
Staff/medical staff behaviors require some additions Recast purpose for safe, effective, patient-centered Add the Tones Add some Tools (AIDET) Use as opportunity to adjust staff behaviors Slide 27 Leader Tool: Communicate Voice of Patient Our commitment to a positive safety, high quality experience The Voice of the Patient The HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) survey is the first national, standardized, publicly reported survey of patients' perspectives of hospital care. HCAHPS surveys are designed to produce data about patients' perspectives of care that allow objective and meaningful comparisons of hospitals on topics that are important to consumers. Public reporting of the survey results creates new incentives for hospitals to improve quality of care. Public reporting serves to enhance accountability in health care by increasing transparency of the quality of hospital care provided in return for the public investment. Slide 28 4
Leader Tool: Unit Top 2 Alignment in improving the patient experience Voice of the Patient Kudos: We got this one right!. Nurses always communicate well 75 th percentile Focus Questions:. Patients always receive help quickly 70 th percentile 2. Patients pain was always controlled 68 th percentile Recommendations: Continue hourly rounding Use the patient communication board to document pain levels and time next dose medication due 3% 2% 7% % 0% Overall Facility Rating % % 73% 9-0's 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 The HCAHPS survey asks discharged patients 27 questions about their recent hospital stay, including core questions about critical aspects of patients' hospital experiences. 5 of the survey questions are more highly correlated with HCAHPS "recommend such as staff do everything to help with pain. The Unit Top 2 list communicates the prioritization of the area of focus so that all caregivers will know what questions the unit is focusing on improving. The two focus questions are posted monthly on the Voice of the Patient communication board.

Lessons-Learned. Patient Experience satisfaction 2. Tones & tools shrink the change for staff 3. Blue printing further shrinks change (for nursing) 4. Train in simulation learning is doing with feedback 5. High reliability is good leadership not necessarily good marketing (to patients and staff) 6. Leader structure still makes all work Slide 3 The HPI Team Craig Clapper PE, CQM/OE Partner & Chief Knowledge Officer Healthcare Performance Improvement 504 Corporate Woods Drive, Suite 80 Virginia Beach, VA 23462 Tel: (757) 226-7479 www.hpiresults.com Slide 32 6
