2 Objectives Recognize the challenges to Ambulatory Clinic Flow Apply Lean Tools and Methods to Improve Clinic Flow Describe the benefits of Team Based Care

3 A Day in the Life of a Primary Care Provider

4 The Burden of Work Practice improvements often fail because they rely on the willingness of physicians who are already too busy to take on additional work. Bodenheimer, T., Coordinating Care A Perilous Journey Through the Health Care System, NEJM; 358:10, p1064, 2008

5 Ambulatory Care Care Production System PROCESSES Appointing Arrival Rooming Exam Discharge Greet Patient ID Agenda Prev. Care Vitals OPERATIONS

6 High Quality Care Starts by Removing Waste Inventory Processing Time Defects Overproduction Motion Transportation

7 Three Common Wastes Burden Our Work and Prevent Flow Time in Batch Process Piles of messages, documentation and correspondence Patients waiting Excess inventory Defects Rooming mistakes Patients scheduled for the wrong provider Medication errors Neglected tests and vaccines Overproduction Staffing costs Excessive normal imaging Antibiotic resistance

10 Foundational Elements for Flow Workshop

11 5S Workplace Organization Self Discipline: Maintain standards through training, empowerment, commitment and discipline Sort: Separate necessary from unnecessary Standardize: Create common agreements Communicate to the team Sweep: Inspection that everything is where it belongs Visual confirmation that 5S agreements are being followed Simplify: A place for everything needed, in its place and ready to use

13 Sort Cross out the numbers from 1 49 in order, 20 Seconds

14 Simplify Cross out the numbers from 1 49 in order, 20 Seconds

15 Simplify Cross out the numbers from 1 49 in order, 10 Seconds Numbers from 1 to

17 Standardize Cross out the numbers from 1 49 in order, 5 Seconds Numbers from 1 to

18 Foundation for Clinic Flow: 5S Workplace Standardization 5S in the clinic includes: Work surfaces Exam room surfaces and drawers Procedure rooms Supply closets/supply inventory Schedule closet and patient inventory and just about everything

19 Results: Early gains from 5S Trend of Average Supplies Per Month $140,000 $120,000 $115,023 Total Supplies Expense (Medical, Office, Other) $100,000 $80,000 $60,000 $40,000 $20,000 $98,866 14% Reduction '03 to '04 5 % Reduction 04 to 05 $93,959 $- Source: FM-BSR; 8 satellite locations Year 2009, Virginia Mason Medical Center

22 Standard Work Without standards, there can be no improvement. Taiichi Ohno Founder of the Toyota Production System

23 Standard Work: Direct Care Standard Process Description Rooming Sequence Takt Time: 9.6 minutes Who Must Adopt This Process: Flow Manager Primary Care STEP OPERATOR TASK DESCRIPTION TOOLS/SUPPLIES REQUIRED CYCLE TIME 1. ROOMER or FRONT DESK Load appropriate template onto Cerner, change author to PCP, save and close. Print 007 report (if PCP report is unavailable), and Problem Summary List (PSL). Attach PCP or 007, PSL with green billing slip, patient labels. 1 min 30 sec 2. ROOMER Call patient from waiting room, ID patient with name and DOB. Weigh patient and use chart to calculate BMI (either ask for height or measure patient). 1 min 20 sec 3. ROOMER Enter exam room, patient sits in chair. Use PCP/007 form and Health Review Screen Form to confirm with patient if health maintenance is up to date. 1 min 36 sec

Ask Is there anything else? If more than 3 concerns, say It is possible you won t have time to get to all of those concerns in this visit, but we ll do our best; I just want you to be prepared that we may need to schedule a second appointment to make sure to do justice to all of your concerns.

34 Achieving Continuous Flow Flow Stations A Flow Station is a specific work area for the team Next to exam rooms Designed to allow completion of indirect patient care tasks between patient visits Uses simple, sequential steps Gets today s work done today!

35 How to Implement a Flow Station 1. Create a workspace Preferably at standing height Locate with line of sight to exam rooms 2. Establish a standard sequence of work FM: Start with the rooming process and external set up Provider: Determine items to be completed between each patient visit 3. Write standard process for FM and Provider 4. Use visual controls to identify tasks at a glance

36 Standard Work Sequence at Flow Station Finish the first patient Completion of documentation and charge slip for patient just finished Indirect care Forms Electronic messages Rest results reporting Phone calls to patients, etc. Prepare the next patient Set up for next patient

Individualized care: custom education and shared decision making 4. Anticipatory care: avoiding predictable problems 5. Coordinated care: connecting all other providers
