Aligning Healthcare Organizations

       Lessons in Improved Quality and Efficiency
                 from the Nuclear Power Industry




          Scot Park, Principal, Artower Advisory Services, LLC
        Nathan Ives, Principal, StrategyDriven Enterprises, LLC
Healthcare’s New Reality


The single most important concept every healthcare organization leader
must embrace in light of Healthcare Reform is value. Accepting value as
the key to survival means asking the critical question: How do I
improve patient outcomes while lowering operating expenses? This is
perhaps a paradoxical reality in light of healthcare delivery results of the
past 50 years, but it is the reality none-the-less.




1
How do I maximize patient value
                       while lowering operating expenses?




Overcoming this stark reality requires new and collaborative approaches
to care delivery, care coordination and information management – it
demands higher levels of resource productivity and efficiency without
sacrificing quality.


Achieving the high levels of organizational alignment needed to realize
industry leading productivity and efficiency is never easy. It begins with
the creation of a clear, forward-looking strategy aligned with the
organization’s vision, values, and mission goals that is then translated to
the day-to-day activities of all organization members. An ongoing
evaluation and control framework reinforces these relationships, helping
to focus and refocus managers’ decisions and employees’ actions on the
optimal achievement of the organization’s mission goals.



                                                                              2
Increasing Organizational Alignment,
Accountability, and Efficiency

A well-structured performance measurement system serves to align the
work efforts of each individual to the achievement of an organization’s
mission goals. As part of a healthcare provider’s performance and quality
program, the accurate identification of key performance parameters
facilitates the efficient, quantifiable monitoring of important
characteristics of patient care delivery while providing information to
support managerial decision-making, including:


    Determination of the efficiency and
     effectiveness of the organization’s
     policies and procedures and the
     individuals implementing them;
    Qualification of organizational
     stakeholder satisfaction (i.e., patients,
     employees, management and boards); and
    Identification of deviations from
     organizationally stated goals, objectives
     and regulatory requirements.



3
Strategy Implementation Pyramid

The Strategy Implementation Pyramid highlights the alignment that
exists between a healthcare organization’s mission and the objectives,
programs, budgets, and procedures supporting its achievement. As the
illustration suggests, the further away from the organization’s singular
mission the greater the number and detail of the supporting instruments.
Execution of these instruments subsequently shaped by the ongoing
adjustments made in response to performance outcomes, external
market forces, and internally defined strategies, policies, and standards.




                                                                             4
Performance measures best serve an organization when they are
understandable, broadly applicable, uniformly interpreted, and economic
to apply. They should cascade through an organization’s hierarchy such
that achievement of lower tiered performance goals support higher tiered
goals that in turn ultimately measure achievement of the organization’s
mission goals.



     Conceptual Metrics Model

     An effective metrics system translates strategic goals and objectives into
     daily operations and then measures the effectiveness of personnel at
     meeting those goals and objectives. The conceptual model approach
     focuses on developing metrics that serve to bridge the strategy and
     operations gap.




5
Based on StrategyDriven’s experience implementing mission-driven and
regulatory compliant Organizational Performance Measurement Systems
within the nuclear power industry, we find that organizations realize the
following benefits from a well-constructed performance measurement
system:


   Heightened organizational alignment and collaboration to the
    achievement of corporate goals and objectives;
   More rapid identification of safety and quality improvements,
    revenue growth, and cost reduction opportunities;
   Increased cross-organizational sharing of best business practices;
   Improved utilization of personnel, material, and financial assets;
   Accelerated, better supported managerial decision-making; and more
    readily demonstrated compliance with industry regulations,
    standards, and guidelines.




                                                                            6
Why the Nuclear Power Industry?
    Research suggests the healthcare industry can learn from the operational successes of other sectors
    where risks are high and safety records are of paramount importance. The parallels between the
    healthcare and nuclear power industries are significant. For example, leaders in both industries must:


       Coordinate and oversee complex procedures having the potential for unpredictable and disastrous
        consequences while maintaining regulatory compliance;
       Employ real-time operational monitoring with pre-established crises response protocols;
       Develop effective means and methods of communication across departments and with outside
        organizations;
       Assess and manage new technology and determine how such technology can add value without
        jeopardizing safety; and
       Possess strong leadership that creates, establishes and maintains a culture of safety and continuous
        quality improvement.

Building an Organizational Performance
Measurement System for Healthcare
Organizations

Similar to the nuclear power industry, healthcare organizations stand to
realize significant improvements in safety, quality, and efficiency
through the implementation of well-constructed performance
measurement systems. To deliver measurable value – and thereby
achieve the competitive advantage necessary for survival – healthcare
administrators will have to successfully navigate a paradigm shift in how
data is sourced, aggregated, analyzed and then acted upon.




                   The Artower/StrategyDriven Team supports
                   healthcare organizations in the development
                   of the mission-driven, regulatory compliant
                   performance metrics systems needed to
                   improve management effectiveness and
                   employee efficiency so to achieve the high
                   levels of value delivery and cost effectiveness
                   demanded by healthcare reform.


                                                                           8
Questions Administrators Ask Today

       How do I know if we are delivering high value?
       What should we measure to assess value delivery?
       How do we capture, record and measure what we need
        without adding more cost to an already taxed operation?
       How do I get the right information in a timely fashion, so
        I can act on it before the opportunity is lost?
       How can I use data analytics to drive greater
        collaboration across departments within my facility and
        with other providers interfacing with our patients?
       What do I need to do to make sure everyone in my
        organization is performing at their highest level and in
        alignment with our organizational goals and objectives?

To align management’s decisions and employee actions and thereby
improve organizational performance, StrategyDriven and Artower
recommend implementation of a Value-Based Performance
Improvement Model (V-B PIM©). Combining StrategyDriven’s nuclear
power and not-for-profit industry performance improvement experience
with Artower’s healthcare industry experience and analytical know-how,
the V-B PIM© provides a quantifiable performance measurement
framework enabling healthcare leaders to rapidly identify and eliminate
programmatic waste thereby accelerating their organization’s
transformation into a leaner, more productive and higher quality
provider of services and care – to thrive under Healthcare Reform –
while continuing to ensure positive outcomes.


The following graphic illustrates the development and implementation
of a Value-Driven Performance Improvement Model for healthcare
organizations.




11
Construction of a V-B PIM©

 Outlined in summary format below are the Project Phases, Activities and Outputs associated with the
 development of a Value-Based Performance Improvement Model for healthcare organizations.




12
Conclusion

The pressure on healthcare providers to improve performance is no
longer a subjective reality in the purview of public opinion and
regulatory oversight. It is quickly becoming an unequivocal necessity of
financial survival. Nearly every external influence driving healthcare
provider performance today focuses on value – defined as patient
outcomes divided by cost of care.


To achieve value that is competitively distinct, healthcare providers
must manage and influence their operating performance in real time –
not through retrospective adjustments based upon analysis of historical
data. We believe the Value-Based Performance Improvement Model©
outlined above is an excellent framework to empower healthcare
providers to deliver quality outcomes while improving efficiency and
productivity.

Aligning Healthcare Organizations: Lessons in improved Quality and Efficiency from the Nuclear Power Industry

  • 1. Aligning Healthcare Organizations Lessons in Improved Quality and Efficiency from the Nuclear Power Industry Scot Park, Principal, Artower Advisory Services, LLC Nathan Ives, Principal, StrategyDriven Enterprises, LLC
  • 2. Healthcare’s New Reality The single most important concept every healthcare organization leader must embrace in light of Healthcare Reform is value. Accepting value as the key to survival means asking the critical question: How do I improve patient outcomes while lowering operating expenses? This is perhaps a paradoxical reality in light of healthcare delivery results of the past 50 years, but it is the reality none-the-less. 1
  • 3. How do I maximize patient value while lowering operating expenses? Overcoming this stark reality requires new and collaborative approaches to care delivery, care coordination and information management – it demands higher levels of resource productivity and efficiency without sacrificing quality. Achieving the high levels of organizational alignment needed to realize industry leading productivity and efficiency is never easy. It begins with the creation of a clear, forward-looking strategy aligned with the organization’s vision, values, and mission goals that is then translated to the day-to-day activities of all organization members. An ongoing evaluation and control framework reinforces these relationships, helping to focus and refocus managers’ decisions and employees’ actions on the optimal achievement of the organization’s mission goals. 2
  • 4. Increasing Organizational Alignment, Accountability, and Efficiency A well-structured performance measurement system serves to align the work efforts of each individual to the achievement of an organization’s mission goals. As part of a healthcare provider’s performance and quality program, the accurate identification of key performance parameters facilitates the efficient, quantifiable monitoring of important characteristics of patient care delivery while providing information to support managerial decision-making, including:  Determination of the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization’s policies and procedures and the individuals implementing them;  Qualification of organizational stakeholder satisfaction (i.e., patients, employees, management and boards); and  Identification of deviations from organizationally stated goals, objectives and regulatory requirements. 3
  • 5. Strategy Implementation Pyramid The Strategy Implementation Pyramid highlights the alignment that exists between a healthcare organization’s mission and the objectives, programs, budgets, and procedures supporting its achievement. As the illustration suggests, the further away from the organization’s singular mission the greater the number and detail of the supporting instruments. Execution of these instruments subsequently shaped by the ongoing adjustments made in response to performance outcomes, external market forces, and internally defined strategies, policies, and standards. 4
  • 6. Performance measures best serve an organization when they are understandable, broadly applicable, uniformly interpreted, and economic to apply. They should cascade through an organization’s hierarchy such that achievement of lower tiered performance goals support higher tiered goals that in turn ultimately measure achievement of the organization’s mission goals. Conceptual Metrics Model An effective metrics system translates strategic goals and objectives into daily operations and then measures the effectiveness of personnel at meeting those goals and objectives. The conceptual model approach focuses on developing metrics that serve to bridge the strategy and operations gap. 5
  • 7. Based on StrategyDriven’s experience implementing mission-driven and regulatory compliant Organizational Performance Measurement Systems within the nuclear power industry, we find that organizations realize the following benefits from a well-constructed performance measurement system:  Heightened organizational alignment and collaboration to the achievement of corporate goals and objectives;  More rapid identification of safety and quality improvements, revenue growth, and cost reduction opportunities;  Increased cross-organizational sharing of best business practices;  Improved utilization of personnel, material, and financial assets;  Accelerated, better supported managerial decision-making; and more readily demonstrated compliance with industry regulations, standards, and guidelines. 6
  • 8. Why the Nuclear Power Industry? Research suggests the healthcare industry can learn from the operational successes of other sectors where risks are high and safety records are of paramount importance. The parallels between the healthcare and nuclear power industries are significant. For example, leaders in both industries must:  Coordinate and oversee complex procedures having the potential for unpredictable and disastrous consequences while maintaining regulatory compliance;  Employ real-time operational monitoring with pre-established crises response protocols;  Develop effective means and methods of communication across departments and with outside organizations;  Assess and manage new technology and determine how such technology can add value without jeopardizing safety; and  Possess strong leadership that creates, establishes and maintains a culture of safety and continuous quality improvement. 7
  • 9. Building an Organizational Performance Measurement System for Healthcare Organizations Similar to the nuclear power industry, healthcare organizations stand to realize significant improvements in safety, quality, and efficiency through the implementation of well-constructed performance measurement systems. To deliver measurable value – and thereby achieve the competitive advantage necessary for survival – healthcare administrators will have to successfully navigate a paradigm shift in how data is sourced, aggregated, analyzed and then acted upon. The Artower/StrategyDriven Team supports healthcare organizations in the development of the mission-driven, regulatory compliant performance metrics systems needed to improve management effectiveness and employee efficiency so to achieve the high levels of value delivery and cost effectiveness demanded by healthcare reform. 8
  • 10. Questions Administrators Ask Today  How do I know if we are delivering high value?  What should we measure to assess value delivery?  How do we capture, record and measure what we need without adding more cost to an already taxed operation?  How do I get the right information in a timely fashion, so I can act on it before the opportunity is lost?  How can I use data analytics to drive greater collaboration across departments within my facility and with other providers interfacing with our patients?  What do I need to do to make sure everyone in my organization is performing at their highest level and in alignment with our organizational goals and objectives? 9

  • 12. To align management’s decisions and employee actions and thereby improve organizational performance, StrategyDriven and Artower recommend implementation of a Value-Based Performance Improvement Model (V-B PIM©). Combining StrategyDriven’s nuclear power and not-for-profit industry performance improvement experience with Artower’s healthcare industry experience and analytical know-how, the V-B PIM© provides a quantifiable performance measurement framework enabling healthcare leaders to rapidly identify and eliminate programmatic waste thereby accelerating their organization’s transformation into a leaner, more productive and higher quality provider of services and care – to thrive under Healthcare Reform – while continuing to ensure positive outcomes. The following graphic illustrates the development and implementation of a Value-Driven Performance Improvement Model for healthcare organizations. 11
  • 13. Construction of a V-B PIM© Outlined in summary format below are the Project Phases, Activities and Outputs associated with the development of a Value-Based Performance Improvement Model for healthcare organizations. 12
  • 14. Conclusion The pressure on healthcare providers to improve performance is no longer a subjective reality in the purview of public opinion and regulatory oversight. It is quickly becoming an unequivocal necessity of financial survival. Nearly every external influence driving healthcare provider performance today focuses on value – defined as patient outcomes divided by cost of care. To achieve value that is competitively distinct, healthcare providers must manage and influence their operating performance in real time – not through retrospective adjustments based upon analysis of historical data. We believe the Value-Based Performance Improvement Model© outlined above is an excellent framework to empower healthcare providers to deliver quality outcomes while improving efficiency and productivity. 13
