9. WHY DO HEALTHCARE PROJECTS FAIL?
▸Isolated improvement objectives
▸infection, DVT etc
▸Isolated business improvement objectives
▸Cost, cost, cost etc
▸Often business projects conflict with clinical
▸Reverse not generally true - good healthcare is cheaper
healthcare
11. TRANSLATE TO A PROJECT
TEAMS CREATE
CHANGE
www.IHI.org - Institute for Healthcare Improvement
▸ Individuals and teams can feel
powerless
▸ Provide a process for individuals to
initiate this process
12. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN IN PRACTICE
USE WORKFLOW MAPPING
1.Identify a care segment that has opportunities for
improvement
2.Develop a first draft of the improvement by interviewing those
that do the work (‘experts’)
3.Start with post-it notes - then electronic
4.Validate the draft against the actual process (observation)
5.Close the loop: repeat the exercise with your experts
13. IDENTIFY A CARE SEGMENT
▸Care segments ideal for process mapping:
▸high consumption of resources (labor, supplies, time, and space)
▸Specific eg’s include non-value-added clinical and administrative
tasks
▸60 minutes draft workflow of the care segment with the team:
▸Use a supervisor/ coach to facilitate the conversation
▸Prepare the attendees with Expected Questions
▸Use two people to take notes
15. PROCESS MAPPING 2 - ELECTRONIC CONVERSION AND
VALIDATION
CONVERSION TO ELECTRONIC FINDS
MISSING STEPS AND MISUNDERSTANDINGS
16. VALIDATION/ CLOSE THE LOOP
▸Repeat observation captures:
▸general/ high level flow, and
▸where the detail fits
▸Highlights new opportunities eg
▸gaps,
▸other non-value-added processes
▸Brings reality to the concept(s)/ new workflow
17. NEXT STEPS
▸Identify a care segment that has opportunities for
improvement
