2 North Shore-LIJ Health System Manhattan Queens Suffolk + Staten Island Kings # + + Nassau Key: Health System Hospital Competitor Hospital Vital Statistics: 15 Hospitals 5.4 million population served $4 billion in Revenue 33,000 employees slide # 2
3 Case Presentation Working through the continuum of care in rehabilitation to improve throughput, decrease length of stay and increase revenue using Six Sigma and Lean Methodologies
4 What is Rehabilitation? Physical medicine and rehabilitation From Wikipedia Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), or physiatry, is a branch of medicine which aims to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life to those with physical impairments or disabilities. slide # 4
5 slide # 5
6 What is the Rehabilitation Continuum of Care? Hospital-based Therapy Home Care Outpatient Inpatient Rehabilitation slide # 6
7 Project Selection Criteria Prominent service line for the organization with growth opportunities business case. Each area of product depends upon efficient and effective operations of the other in order to maximize outcome for those patients who move thru continuum- value stream. Data rich environment. Commitment of hospital leadership to enhance/maintain the financial and reputation of the rehab service. Strong local leadership committed to improvement process and sustaining the results. Regulatory and reimbursement shifts in conjunction with above heightened the need to insure efficient service, accurate assessment and high customer service to maximize market share. slide # 7
8 FOCUS ON HIGH PRIORITY AREAS WITH INEFFICIENCIES AND WASTE slide # 8
9 Selecting the Methodology Objective: Facilitate process evaluation, process redesign and implementation to improve the flow of patients through the rehabilitation continuum in a community hospital from acute care through acute rehabilitation services and outpatient care. Challenge: How do you decide what methodology to use? ACT PLAN CHECK DO slide # 9
10 Hospital Based Therapy - PDCA HOSPITAL BASED THERAPY THE ISSUES Regulatory requirements not met Delays impacting length of stay Continuous improvement and monitoring needed WHY PDCA? Use PDCA when you need a dynamic model where completion of one cycle flows into the beginning of the next resulting in continuous improvement slide # 10
11 The Upstream Impact of Delays in Treatment slide # 11
12 Problem: Time from physical therapy order to fulfillment exceeds specification of 48 hours. Pareto Diagram Is s u e 1 Is s u e 2 Is s u e 3 Is s u e 4 Is s u e 5 Is s u e 6 Is s u e 7 Is s u e 8 Is s u e 9 Is s u e 1 0 Is s u e 1 1 Frequency 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Cum ulative Percent Results: Process improvements resulted in turnaround time improvements to a mean of 24 hours 99% of time. Regulatory requirement of days assessment met 100% of time slide # 12
13 Inpatient Rehab - Six Sigma INPATIENT REHAB THE ISSUES Revenue impact significant Causes and solutions not apparent Cross functional issue Previous improvement efforts only yielded partial success WHY SI SIGMA? Changes in culture needed for full efforts to be realized Concerted cross functional effort needed Redesign of current system needed Strong financial business case to deploy the resources needed slide # 13
14 DEFINE Project: Current processes are not allowing us to accurately assess patients functional level and therefore the burden of care. This results in higher FIM scores which reduces Medicare reimbursement. Customer Demands: Improve assessment accuracy Improve documentation accuracy Increase revenue per patient Increase patient volume Expedite admissions FIM SCORE Admission FIM Scores Ortho Stroke Brain Med Complex Southside Regional National Southside Regional National Benchmarking against regional and national averages revealed that our hospital was statistically significantly higher in scoring. slide # 14
15 Problem Measurement and Data Gathering: MEASURE Defect was defined as Assessment scores not measured all three days of patient admission using standardized algorithm. FIM Item # Description Grooming Bathing Dressing-Upper Internal variance Other system hospital variance Regional variance Medical record reviews were performed and therapists were shadowed to quantify defects Dressing-Lower Toileting Bladder Bowel 9 Bed. Chair Number of pts. Assessed Toilet Walk/wheelchair Day One Day Two Day Three Results: 65% of the time we do not meet our customer s specifications Goal: Reduce defects from 65% to 20% slide # 15
16 Identifying independent variables that determine CTQ behavior: Process Analysis & Data Analysis ANALYZE Number of pts. Assessed Critical s 1= Delay in admission after acceptance 2= Assessment not performed until day Day One Day Two Day Three Total Total Chi-Sq = = DF = 2, P-Value = = Assessments not performed on all 3 days 4= No standardized process followed to perform assessment % SCORI slide NG# 16 VARIANCE
17 Improvements Implemented: Patients admitted day of acceptance rather than 2 or more days later Admission times before noon, rather than late afternoon Standardization of process Reassessment process, which includes assessment of patient on day 1 of admission, as well as day 2 and day 3 IMPROVE Results: The defect rate was reduced to 10% resulting in $500,000 additional revenue for the hospital annually Chi-Square Test: DAY 1, DAY 2, DAY 3 Expected counts are printed below observed counts DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3 Total # Lowest score # Non-low est score Total Chi-Sq = = DF = 2, P-Value = DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3 slide # 17
18 CONTROL Ensuring Sustainable Results: Changes imbedded in departmental processes Owners continue to monitor with control charts and intervene if trends are observed Defect Rate Sample Number UCL=92.38 U=64.6 LCL=43.02 Goal = 20 Actual = 9 Tools Used: Control Plan SPC Risk Assessment Plan Communication Plan Results: Results were sustained and revenue gains continue to be realized slide # 18
19 Outpatient - Lean OUTPATIENT PHYSICAL THERAPY THE ISSUES Delays in access time. These delays caused further inefficiencies and lost business no shows and cancellations. Capacity constraints limited growth in volume although demand existed. WHY LEAN? Improve what exists (process improvement) by removing waste and non-value added steps. If you see queues or disorder, think LEAN. Lean improvements create flow and throughput. slide # 19
20 Ambulatory Rehabilitation Access to to Care Project Description: To To create an an integrated outpatient service that that responds to to the the needs of of our our patients and and physicians, is is effective and and efficient and and can can adjust to to changes in in the the therapeutic environment.

22 R E S U L T S HOSPITAL BASED THERAPY - PDCA Regulatory requirements met Length of stay decreased Turnaround time improved to a mean of 24 hours INPATIENT REHAB - SI SIGMA IMPROVEMENTS Additional revenue of $ 500,000 annually realized Admission to acute rehabilitation services from the hospital improved from 10% to 50% after intervention on day one OUTPATIENT PHYSICAL THERAPY - LEAN Access time improved from 6 days to 3 days No show/cancellation rate improved from 18% to 12% Staff productivity allowed for increased capacity without additional costs slide # 22
23 C O N C L U S I O N S The use of Clinical Audit tools with Six Sigma and Lean methodologies were effective to improve performance in rehabilitation services in a community hospital. This explicit and detailed use of the complementary methodologies to efficiently and effectively move patients through the continuum of care is easily replicable to other health care environments. slide # 23 Copyright 2009, 2008, Krasnoff Quality Management Institute
