2 DEFINE PHASE What is the problem? LSS: Infusion Center Throughput 2
3 DEFINE Problem Statement Wait time is a significant problem impacting Infusion Centers (IC) nationwide What is our problem? Patients arrived for scheduled infusion treatment incur an average of 24 minute wait before being roomed (from the time patient arrives to the time patient is roomed) 3
4 DEFINE Problem Statement How do we know it is a problem? Survey conducted from 11 April to 15 April with a sample size of 326 patient visits. Data demonstrated 10 minutes to 3 hours wait time before patient is roomed 27% of sample data indicated that the wait resulted from absence or lack of necessary documents that enable treatment to begin Lack of Patient Readiness 4
5 DEFINE Problem Statement What pain does it cause? (impact to patient and/or bottom line) Waiting creates: - Lack of unit control and patient flow - Patients arrive at unscheduled times - Patients and staff alike experience an increase level of anxiety and stress - Loss of confidence in UCI s ability to offer good patient care - Loss of future patient referral when patient satisfaction diminishes - UCI commitment to patient satisfaction - DSRIP is a significant component of Healthcare reform - Loss of revenue - Lack of throughput, increase in overhead (staff over-time, lack of utilization of unit, etc) 5
6 DEFINE Project Name: Infusion Center Patient Flow Optimization Phase 1 Belt: Ranjeeta Kumar, MBA & Luanne Sims, RN Project Charter Champion: Alice Issai, COO Master Black Belt: Henry Alvarez & Laura Winner Problem Statement: Infusion Center pts incur an average of 24 minute wait from the time patient arrives to the time patient is roomed, resulting in poor patient/staff satisfaction, negative impact on patient referral process (loss in revenue) Project Y / Path-Y: Project Y= Total Time of Arrival for Infusion Center Appointment to Discharged Path Y1 = Patient arrival time to time patient is roomed Path Y2 = Pharmacy Time required to prepare medications Path Y3 = Wait time from end of preparation to start infusion Path Y4 = How long Patient is in chair receiving infusion Team Members: Claudette Bettis, RN Gema De La Cruz Nancy Eagan, RN Daniel Hoang, Pharm.D. Ranjeeta Kumar, MBA Marie Polito, RN Tara Seery, MD Luanne Sims, RN Dawn Shelton Julie Smith, RN Raja Zeitany, Pharm D Project Goal: Reduce number of defects that are causing the ~24 min delay by 25%. Total soft savings - $105K (Xs = absence of chart, orders, labs, and consents) Scope: Reduce wait time for chemotherapy patients in the infusion center. Exclusions: 1 st time chemo, IM, IV, SQ injections, hydrations, symptom management/acuity, same day appointment, walk-ins (unscheduled) and non-oncology patients Benefits: Ensure patient safety Increase patient, staff and physician satisfaction Increase volume, capacity and revenue Increase likelihood to recommend by patients Timeline: Define/Measure March April 2011 Analyze May Dec 2011 Improve/Control Dec March
7 DEFINE Why is this important? Health Care is dedicated to quality and perfection of outcomes We have been entrusted with Oncology patients lives Understanding what is important to a patient is critical to achieving quality Stable processes minimizes variations in outcomes Design is optimal when we listen to our customers 7
8 DEFINE Why is this important? - VOC Voice of the Customer (VOC) Assumptions 5 questions over 5 days 44 total responses - Patients were dissatisfied with IC experience - Patients preferred to see Oncologist same day - Patients preferred to get labs drawn same day - IC staff did not see the value of informing patients of delay 8
9 DEFINE Why is this important? VOC Results - used to defined Critical to Quality Would you recommend this infusion center to your friends and family? - 89% of patients would refer UCI IC to Friends and Family Do you prefer to see your oncologist on the same day as your infusion appt. even if it can cause delays in getting your treatment? - 50% of patient would not see their Oncologist on the same day of their IC appointment if it reduces wait time How valuable would it be for you if you could have your blood work and other tests taken one or two days before your appointment in order to prevent any delays during your treatment? - 65% of patients would get labs drawn 48 hrs prior to IC appointment to reduce waiting time VOC graphs are in appendices 9
10 DEFINE Why is this important? VOC Results - used to defined Critical to Quality Would you have your blood work and other tests done several days before your appointment in order to shorten the length of time you spend in the infusion center on the day of treatment? - 64% of patients would get labs drawn 48 hrs prior to IC appointment to reduce waiting time If you encounter a delay while waiting for your treatment, how important is it to your to be given a reason for the delay? - 64% of patients would get labs drawn 48 hrs prior to IC appointment to reduce waiting time VOC graphs are in appendices 10
11 DEFINE Waiting is an Epidemic Problem!! Perception of ineffective care are directly proportional to a patients wait time Survey of 200 patients suggested wait time affects perception of quality, satisfaction and likeability, as well as likelihood of recommendation and repeat visits * HealthMarkQ, 2005: 23(2);69-87 Visited multiple IC UCSD, UCLA, UCSF and City of Hope All are experiencing wait issues (no labs, change in pts acuity, etc) Article in appendices 11
12 DEFINE Why is this important? Why this, why now? ( Burning Platform ) The pain of continuing with the status quo process of unchecked charts, missing orders and consents was creating a burden for Infusion Center staff and increasing delay in patient start times. Domino effect from late morning starts created afternoon bottleneck effect for the remainder of the day which increased the patient s expected wait time. Average wait time was 24 minutes after patient registration to room assignment due to incomplete required medical record data. A new patient flow was needed for the unit to function efficiently because the current process became more inefficient as patient volume increased. 12
13 DEFINE Why is this important? What will happen if we don t fix this? Inconsistent wait times creates anxiety for patients and the health care team. Prolonged delays for medical records, physician orders, labs or consents impacts customer service ratings and recommendation for future referrals. Patient acuity becomes the driver of the process instead of the patients having proper scheduling and avoiding delays of treatment. Maximum patient capacity can not be fully achieved in the Infusion Center due to our current process/design. 13
