6 Be clear on what you are doing, why you re doing it, why are you doing it now and why you re not doing something else Why Bother Heightened awareness of the importance of reducing wait times for ED through GIM continuum Mounting pressure to deliver safer, more timely, high quality care with increasing volumes Patient Safety Strategy with Access and Flow as a predictor of Patient Safety nternal Greater desire by our staff to create a dynamic work environment - Internal Situation at initiation of effort Sheer volume Hospital Accountability agreement Pressure from Emergency to implement Full Capacity Protocol Hours of non value added time for patients and staff Patients exceeding wait time targets Patients May exceeding - July 2006 wait time targets Percentage, March % 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 67% CTAS 1 3 (6 hours) 75% CTAS 4&5 (4 hours) Target

7 Focus everyone: Why this? Growth in ER volumes will test our operations as will growth in volume of medicine admissions Patients treated in ER Visits per annum, thousands Patients admitted in Medicine units*** Thousands per annum Projected inpatient demand *Based on expected patient load for : 80,000 **Estimated for consistent admitted/ discharged, acuity levels *** Includes 2E, 4E, 4M, 6G, 6M Source: Team analysis Assumptions: In patient admissions into 5 medicine units (2E, 4E, 4M, 6G, 6M) are 7.1% of ER visits Aggressive improvement potential in wave 1 targets capacity

8 Focus the attention of everyone but remember that some people aren t interested in what interests you! Optimizing flow can increases ER capacity by over 30% to accommodate SJHC s annual 9.7% growth Improving discharge process can increase inpatient medicine capacity by over 20% Patients treated in ER* Visits per annum, thousands 160 Projected growth based on current rate Conservative improvement potential Aggressive improvement potential Medicine admissions** Numbers per annum , , Current capacity threshold Improved capacity threshold 2012 Current # of admissions Improvement in acute patient LOS Improvement in ALC patient LOS Potential # of admissions *Based on expected patient load for : 80,000; estimated for consistent admitted/ discharged, acuity levels ** Based on improvements in ALOS for 94% of patients with ALOS < 20 days, reduced ALOS from baseline of 5.6 to 4.7 days (Jan 31 Feb 20, 2007) Source: Team analysis

28 MOVING FROM A PROJECT TO A TRANSFORMATION Returning to his own office after the long-range planning meeting, Stanley immediately started viewing things from a different perspective.

29 Sustainability: The Elephant in the Room. A good implementation does not guarantee the sustainability of the change initiative Sustainability is little understood but central to any transformative journey Sustainabilty is about a change enduring over time and becoming part of the way we do things around here Sustainability refers to the incorporation of new programs or practices within the routines of an organization or healthcare setting, changing norms and maintaining outcomes over time Sustainability requires ongoing development of capability within the organization Sustainability benefits from external rules and incentives Sustainability is about organizational leadership, organizational learning and information and knowledge

31 OVERVIEW OF CULTURAL DIAGNOSTIC FINDINGS Strengths to Build Upon 1. Alignment/Direction SJHC s values are well defined and deeply rooted in the organization The overall atmosphere at SJHC is perceived to be good 2. Execution/Accountability Staff and physicians feel a high level of individual motivation People understand what they are accountable for and feel a high level of personal accountability There is confidence in St. Joseph s core capabilities, especially around knowledge 3. Renewal/Innovation SJHC is responsive to patient needs and trends in Canadian Healthcare SJHC has a strong commitment to the community Opportunities for Improvement 1. Alignment/Direction Staff and physicians do not feel adequately involved in direction setting and decisions that affect them People do not believe their colleagues/ leaders consistently live the values There is a perceived split in the culture between old and new and different silos 2. Execution/Accountbility People are not held accountable, with little relationship between performance and consequences Staff feel that they have insufficient resources and support to be successful on a daily basis There is a perceived lack of coaching and recognition 3. Renewal/Innovation St. Joseph s is seen as slow to change Staff and physicians do not perceive that innovation is encouraged or supported Source: St. Joseph's Organizational Performance Profile Survey (N=696); leadership interviews; employees focus groups

32 BUILD CAPABILITY TO SUPPORT AND SUSTAIN CHANGE: GOALS To engage the senior leadership in the change To provide the organization with a common vocabulary for discussing change and a common approach to problem solving To focus on resolving organizational challenges rather than working around them To build and strengthen the capacity of the organization To sustain improvement To innovate

37 Moving from a Project to a Transformation: Lean Tools Visual Management Implement visual tools to speed up production and prevent errors Standardized operations Adjust and standardize the production steps and each person s job Error proofing Apply visual tools or change processes to prevent or detect errors Process/role redesign Change how many people are on one production line or how many lines are running Pull scheduling Change process & batch size of material to meet real demand and reduce time waiting

38 BASICS OF LEAN OPERATIONS Successful LEAN practitioners Take unnecessary work out of the system Take the perspective of the patient, to design our systems for the best care delivery Permanently change the way we work by eliminating waste, variability and inflexibility in each process Build the capabilities of the organization around system-design solutions, tools, analyses Change the culture and performance management systems of the underlying organization

49 We See a Significant Change in Thinking Throughout the Organization After Only Six Months of the Initiative Before We have tried this before, many times, and it is not going to work Focus group After I think the new way of working is to just try it. We can always work to make solutions better if we listen and act on the feedback we get. Team member Everyone works in their own group. People don t offer to help other units. Focus group We work better as a team now. You see people from the ER thanking the floors for their hard work, nurses on days thanking the nurse on night that prepared the discharge it is a better environment. PCM We already work too hard. The nurses are at their breaking point. The only answer is more resources. Focus group When we started it was more work and it was tough. But I like it now, and I think it was the right thing to do.
