1 Patient Flow Study: Maximizing Capacity to Meet Acute Care Service Demands Janet Templeton BN MN Elizabeth Kennedy BN MN
2 Overview Background Planning Implementation Project Management Challenges and Lessons Learned Conclusion
3 Eastern Health RHA Largest healthcare organization in NL (>1 billion) Over 12,000 employees Catchment area of over 290,000 Tertiary services to province Full continuum of services offered in over 80 sites - acute care, cancer care, mental health, long term care, and community based services Over 2 million ambulatory care encounters per year
4 Background Where we were Completed a review of services as former HCCSJ in 2002 Implemented many changes Evidence in CIHI/Hay comparative studies supporting successes Unable to move forward to achieve further successes Frustration being experienced at points of entry, transfer and exit by health care team Engaged physician leaders within program leadership teams

6 Efficiencies achieved City Hospitals (HAY /CIHI comparison ) Indicators HAY Review 2001 Canada 2001 HAY /CIHI 2007 Canada 2007 LOS days Cost per weighted case dollars 2,713 2,095 3,421 3,421 ED worked hours per visit Worked Hour per med/surg day
7 Opportunities for Improvement Indicators HAY Review 2001 Canada 2001 HAY/CIHI 2007 Canada 2007 Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (rate) NA NA Potential days saved for LOS improvements (%) ALC Days - percentage
8 Human Resource Planning More than 30 occupations have critical HR planning challenges 20 of these groups have targeted recruitment and retention strategies in place Includes nurses, allied health professionals, diagnostics, skills trades and managers Almost 30% of EH s workforce are RNs RN labour market nationally and internationally is fiercely competitive
9 Age demographic EH region Patients Age Distribution City Hospitals V o l u m e >85 Age
10 Population Health Indicators Population Health Status EH NL Canada Self Reported Disease Conditions yrs 65yrs yrs 65yrs+ EH NL Can Arthritis Asthma BMI (score 30+) Diabetes Leisure time/ Physical Activity High BP
11 Bed Reduction Profile After the 2002 HAY reduced beds from 1054 to the current level of approximately 971 operated beds. A reduction of 83 beds in the city hospitals. Operating on average 978 beds Beds In Operation City Hospitals Beds Year Beds
12 Occupancy Rates High volume high demand service should be at 85% (IHI) Critical Care areas should be at 75% (IHI) Medicine is 97%, Surgery is 93% and Critical care is 84% These are crisis management numbers Occupancy Rate by Program City Hospitals Medicine Surgery Cardiology Critical Care Mental Health CHP/WHP Rehab 2005/ / /08
13 Why an 85 % Occupancy rate? Optimal care comes when the right patient is receiving right care at right time in the right setting Requires flexibility to meet the demand for service Need to have the ability to respond to unpredictable demands for service Ability to unclog bottlenecks in system-operating in crisis mode
14 ALC needs ALC patients take up 66 bed equivalents in the city hospitals but in: Medicine 18% or 34 beds Surgery 13% or 24 beds ALC By Category End Of Life Care Transfer to LTC Consulted Rehab Discharge Planning Other reasons Waiting other Hospital Community Resources / /08
15 Hospitals of St. John's Adult Surgery Priority Performance Summary Report Priority I II III IV V VI Target Time Frame Surgery in 1week (e.g. AAA) Surgery in 1-3 weeks (e.g. Cancer surgery Bladder, Breast, Bowel) Surgery in 3-6 weeks (TURBT, Discectomy) Surgery in 6wks-3 months (Urology procedure) Surgery in 3-6 mos (Joint replacement, Cataracts, Hernias, Lap Choly, elective CABG) Surgery in 6-12 mos (Breast Reduction) Completed cases within recommended time frame (%)
16 Hospitals of St. John's Adult Surgery Priority Performance Summary Report Priority Target Time Frame Completed cases within recommended time Patient waiting beyond target Timeframe I Surgery in 1week (e.g. AAA) 87% 91% II Surgery in 1-3 weeks (e.g. Cancer surgery Bladder, Breast, Bowel) 57% 70% III Surgery in 3-6 weeks (TURBT, Discectomy) 55% 73% IV Surgery in 6wks-3 mos (Urology procedure) 59% 67% V Surgery in 3-6 mos (Joint replacement, Cataracts, Hernias, Lap Choly) 90% 42% VI Surgery in 6-12 mos (Breast Reduction, 77% 56%

18 Waiting time to move from the ED to an Inpatient Bed Patient flow impeded with high occupancy Patients wait from 3.0 to 6.3 hours on average to move to their inpatient bed Patient safety issue Wait Time for Admitted Patients to Transfers to an IP Bed 7 6 Hours SCM HSC Expon. (HSC)
19 Issues and Symptoms of the Problems Recruitment Challenges Occupancy Rates WT for surgery ALC indicators Wait time in the ED for admitted Population profile
20 Solutions/ Recommendations Short Term (1-6 months) Service reduction for summer 2008 Initiate international recruitment Implement attendance management program Implement new collective bargaining models* Competitive salaries and associated benefits* Competitive recruitment packages*
21 Solutions/ Recommendations Short Term (1-6 months) Conduct an operational review for patient flow Fully implement electronic appropriateness of admission screening tool (MCAP review process) Utilizing Personal Care Homes for short term increased level of care (e.g. for convalescent care)*
22 Solutions/ Recommendations Medium Term (6-18 Months) Increase enrollment of nurses* Increase supply of select Health Care providers* Skill mix review in community and acute care
23 Solutions/ Recommendations Medium Term (6-18 Months) Enhance home care/ home support resources* Enhance rehab services in LTC, regional facilities and community* Set priorities and move forward with LTC redevelopment plan* Establish incentives to work in LTC and Rural areas*
24 Long Term Solution / Recommendations Population health needs based human resource plan Develop provincial health services plan* Undertake long term planning for infrastructure requirements* Allocate budget by evidence not crisis management*
25 Background In mid 2008, Eastern Health determined a need to study patient flow through their city hospitals (SCM 220 beds & GH 356 beds) The objective was to improve access and overall patient care processes from entry into the system through to discharge In March 2009, a study was commissioned in partnership with Siemens Global Solutions Healthcare Consulting to help identify opportunities for improvement and to achieve further efficiencies across the system
26 Implementation 22 Reports delivered (+ Summary Report) Current state views, assessments and recommendations for all clinical and support departments Based on extensive interviews with front line staff and management and a review and evaluation of existing processes and documentation Over 160 employees interviewed across the organization Recommendations validated by Management
