Origin and Evolution of the Clinical Operations (Clin Ops) Team 10
Northwell /IHI Collaborative Timeline focus on early identification & treatment in the ED Getting Started: Learning Session 1 Action Period Learning Session 2 Action Period Learning Session 3 Action Period includes calls & activities February 2012 includes monthly calls & team reports July 2012 includes monthly calls & team reports January 2013 includes monthly calls & team reports Learning Sessions: Improvement Science methodology Team Report Outs Sharing of experiences, challenges and solutions Goal Setting Structure: Teams from each site Leaders, front line staff Executive Sponsors Data Definitions / Reporting Team site / E-list / Collaborative Calls 11
Northwell Health Sepsis Mortality: Jan 2008- September 2017 12
What did we learn from the IHI Collaborative? Develop a Structure for leadership, partnering, communication, sharing and reporting. Promote Change Identify and overcome Barriers Focus on culture, work with site leadership on engaging front line Define the Outcomes that you want to achieve and develop processes to obtain them Data Definitions are crucial to acceptance of results Utilize Improvement Processes to facilitate change Process Maps Small Scale tests of change (ex. PDSAs) Run Chart analysis Share lessons learned and best practices 13
IHI & Process Improvement 15
Framework of Process Improvement Create a culture in all Northwell Emergency Departments of continuous introspective review and enhancement using improvement science techniques to optimize operations and provide the best care and treatment of patients and family members. Continuous Transparent Site Led Metric Driven Multidisciplinary 16
The IHI Model for Improvement Aim: What are trying to accomplish? Measures: How will we know that a change is an improvement? Ideas: What change can we make that will result in improvement? Act Study Plan Do 17
The Steps To Change 18
Clinical & Operational Excellence EM Strategy for Sustainable Results Standard Accountability System Must Haves Standardization Aligned Goals Aligned Behaviors Aligned Process Strategic Goals Leader Accountability Process Cascade of Goals Communication & Transparency Success Sharing Co-Leadership Model Driving positive culture and productive organizational energy Selecting and Retaining Talent Leadership & Staff Training & Development Drive towards Excellence in all mission critical areas Improvement Methodology Leader Evaluation & Performance Scorecard Standardized PI Process 19
Clinical & Operational Excellence EM Strategy for Sustainable Results Tools To: Increase Customer Satisfaction Decrease Process Variance Decrease Process Defects Decrease Cycle Times Engage Frontline Employees Sustain Change Through Process Redesign LEAN events Swim Lane Process Mapping Fast Track decision making Priority Pay Off Matrix PDSA Town Halls Brainstorming Identification of non-value added waste Reduce wastedata Driven Solutions We spend 75-95% of our time doing things that increase cost and create no value for the customer 22
Risk Taking and Organization Change The Change Equation C=(DxVxF) > R* Three factors must be present for meaningful organizational change to take place, and together they must be greater than the RESISTANCE of those who fear the change. C = Change D = Dissatisfaction with the status quo V = Vision of a better future state F = Practical First Steps R = Resistance to Change by people or the organization system Before the change: When planning a major change, planning teams need to make sure all three elements are built into their plans. During the change: Use it as trouble-shooting tool for figuring out why people are resisting the change. * Change Equation formula developed by Richard Beckhard 1977; modified by David Gleicher, and Kathy Dannemiller.

Clin Ops Approach to Workflow Redesign Continuous Site Improvement projects (SIPs) Data and Analytics to transform patient care Sustainability & Accountability Model 30
LEAN Events with our Sites Problem Statement: The introduction of an electronic medical record highlighted an inefficient intake process resulting in an increasing Door to Provider time. Plainview Hospital Plainview, NY Volume: 33,000 ED Beds: 26 Pediatrics: 9% Admission Rate: 24% Stroke Center Action Steps by Clin Ops and ED Team: LEAN Event with an interdisciplinary group of frontline staff Workflow process mapping Redesign of triage documentation PDSA testing 31
Plainview: Decrease Door to Provider < 30 mins Multidisciplinary LEAN event Measurable results Workflow mapping 32
Plainview Door to Provider 33
Lenox Hill Problem Statement: A small Fast Track footprint hindered efficiency of care for treat and release (T&R) patients; the Fast Track area treated 37% of all patient volume, and there was a high LWOBE rate from the area with complaints of lack of privacy. 34
Lenox Hill: Increased capacity, throughput and patient and staff experience Action Steps: Redesign use/purpose of clinical space LEAN Event with an interdisciplinary group of frontline staff Workflow process mapping Role redesign PDSA testing 35

Long Island Jewish Medical Center Problem Statement: 52% of patients seen at LIJ are an ESI level 3 and represent 68% of patients that LWOBE. In 2015 the avg. Door to Doc was 85 mins and this has contributed to increased LOS, increased LWOBE rates, decreased patient and employee satisfaction.
