Why Sustaining Outcomes Improvement
Requires More than Technology ̶ Drew Cardon

Sustainable Change in a Healthcare System
Igniting change and outcomes improve-
ment within a healthcare system requires
three unique elements.
It’s well accepted that an analytics
platform, with its enterprise data
warehouse (EDW) and advanced
analytics applications plays a pivotal role.
Two other elements—adoption of
analytics across the enterprise and
converting data-driven discoveries to best
practices—are essential for sustaining
healthcare outcomes improvement.

Outcomes Improvement Requires Adoption and
Best Practices
The analytics platform is crucial for driving
any outcomes improvement initiative,
especially over time.
Let’s look at three scenarios that show
why it must be supported by an adoption
methodology and best practices
implementation:
• Without adoption
• Without best practices
• Without analytics

Outcomes Improvement Requires Adoption and
Best Practices
Without adoption
Focusing on best practices and analytics
is insufficient. Without adoption, the
organization ends up with solutions that
never quite create a lasting impact across
the organization as a whole.
While research-focused organizations
have good intentions to use research to
feed the creation of best practices, they
are often prone to academically
appealing ideas with little regard for
practical application.

Outcomes Improvement Requires Adoption and
Best Practices
Without adoption
Sometimes organizations focus
squarely on the technical and analytical
aspects of improving outcomes. These
tend to manifest symptoms of large
report queues and dashboards.
It’s the mentality that says, “if we build
it, they will come!”
But without input and buy-in of the
right stakeholders, the organization
creates many technical solutions
that end up on the shelf.

Outcomes Improvement Requires Adoption and
Best Practices
Without adoption
Finally, there are organizations that are
able to adequately merge the two other
systems of analytics with best
practices, but don’t have the expertise
to get widespread adoption.
They create successful “science
projects,” limited pockets of excellence,
then find themselves unable to rollout
improvements across the organization.

Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Outcomes Improvement Requires Adoption and
Best Practices
Without best practices
If the organization implements an adoption
system and analytics, but doesn’t include best
practices, it may end up with consistent practices.
But not the right practices, i.e., a standardized
status quo rather than continuous improvement.
We affectionately call this the “paved cow paths”
approach because processes are automated and
adopted, but not truly improved.
© 2016 Health Catalyst
Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Outcomes Improvement Requires Adoption and
Best Practices
Without best practices
To avoid these symptoms, we advocate
permanent teams consisting of frontline
individuals with deep subject matter expertise.
Another symptom could be clinician’s
disengagement of management’s “flavor of
the month,” where there is missing evidence
in the data and missing proof of best practice.
To outperform competitors you must
be dedicated to delivering the best care.

Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Outcomes Improvement Requires Adoption and
Best Practices
Without analytics
If best practices and a system to spread
adoption are implemented, but ignore analytics,
it has no way to measure effectiveness.
Improvement projects chosen will tend to be
based on who shouts the loudest rather than
focusing its resources on areas with the most
variability in quality and cost.
Organizations without a robust analytics system
experience unsustainable improvements after
only a couple of projects because they don’t
have the automated capabilities to scale.

Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements
Most organizations understand the need
for an analytics system, but many fail to
implement an adoption and best practice
system to feed and nurture the technical
aspects of an improvement project.
Let’s touch on the challenges of
implementing these two critical systems
and then I’ll reveal the characteristics of
organizations that implement them
successfully.

Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements
Gaining Adoption
Without adoption, even the best data-
driven improvement projects can stall.
Health Catalyst is working with Piedmont
Healthcare, an integrated delivery system
with six hospitals and close to 100 clinics
in Georgia.
It is a perfect example of how adoption is
so important to process improvement,
and is a great success story of sepsis
care improvement.
© 2016 Health Catalyst
Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements
Gaining Adoption
Piedmont organized a cross-functional
team consisting of innovative clinicians and
frontline staff, supported by analytical and
process improvement personnel.
As the workgroup built out the solution, they
were constantly feeding the improvements
up the chain so those improvements could
be vetted and implemented across each
hospital in the Piedmont system.
© 2016 Health Catalyst
Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements
Gaining Adoption
Piedmont brought in Health Catalyst’s
Sepsis Improvement application and then
went through a data validation process to
gain comfort with the data being presented.
Data validation can literally paralyze a
project when there is too much focus on
getting things exactly correct, so the
workgroup was careful to do just enough
validation to garner a high level of
ownership and engagement, aka adoption.
© 2016 Health Catalyst
Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements
Gaining Adoption
Based on the data and their own
knowledge of clinical workflow, the
Piedmont team made initial decisions
about where to focus improvement efforts.
This group was also tasked with
determining how to implement best
practices that would drive the desired
improvement.
To gain buy-in and receive valuable
feedback, the workgroup presented its
recommendations to peers.

Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements
Gaining Adoption
This physician-led process ensured the
perspectives of all key stakeholders
informed any changes to a clinical or
operational process.
It gave clinicians an opportunity to
“fingerprint” new processes—to give their
feedback and make the process their own.
This is more than just coming up with
goals and metrics. It is about using the
team’s knowledge and expertise to drive
out waste and improve processes.
© 2016 Health Catalyst
Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements
Gaining Adoption
For example, Piedmont wanted to do more
than simply track how well they were
responding to system alerts.
We put the data to work by establishing a
baseline, identifying parameters for improving
alert sensitivity, and implementing triage and
system alert training.
Piedmont also wanted to improve its 3-hour
and 6-hour bundle compliance, so we used
the EDW to track order set utilization and
standard notes and assessments.

Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements
Gaining Adoption
Over the years, we have seen these
physician-led workgroups achieve incredible,
sustainable quality improvements.
On the other hand, we see quality improve-
ment projects flounder when driven by IT.
Clinicians tend to view such projects as
imposed from the outside by people who
don’t understand clinical workflow.
Physician leadership and enthusiasm are
absolutely essential to driving adoption
system-wide.

Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements
Implementing Best Practices
In U.S. healthcare, spending waste is
estimated at $1 trillion a year.
Best practices are a key to transform-
ing healthcare and reducing waste.
So why is it so hard to implement best
practices throughout an organization?
Why does it take an average of 17
years for a newly discovered best
practice to become standard practice
in healthcare?
© 2016 Health Catalyst
Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements
Implementing Best Practices
One of the biggest reasons is simply
a matter of human nature: most of us
are comfortable with the status quo.
Physicians like to do things the way
they’ve always done them and don’t
like to change. Comfort with the
status quo isn’t limited to physicians.
Fewer than 20 percent of people tend
to be innovators or early adopters.
The rest of us are slower to adopt
new practices.
© 2016 Health Catalyst
Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements
Implementing Best Practices
It’s hard for us to overcome personal
habit and preference.
From the organizational perspective,
it’s even harder to overcome
institutionalized inertia.
For this reason, it is essential to
identify influential physician innovators
and early adopters who can help
spread information about, and
enthusiasm for, a new best practice.
© 2016 Health Catalyst
Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements
Implementing Best Practices
The Piedmont sepsis improvement
project stands as a success story of best
practices implementation.
The improvement team used the Sepsis
Improvement application to show all
stakeholders precisely how well Piedmont
was adhering to the best practice 3-hour
bundle, responses to early sepsis alerts,
and how this performance directly
impacted length-of-stay, mortality, cost,
and patient outcomes.
© 2016 Health Catalyst
Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements
Implementing Best Practices
When clinicians were informed by this
accurate, near real-time individual
feedback, they were motivated to make
adjustments to their practice.
But a lack of resources has historically
been a challenge to implementing best
practices in healthcare organizations.
Some organizations are able to dedicate
resources to discovering best practices.
Others simply don’t have those kinds of
resources.
© 2016 Health Catalyst
Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements
Implementing Best Practices
The best analytics vendors help
organizations overcome that barrier.
They come equipped with best-
practice order sets and other analytic
intellectual property for use by
healthcare organizations.
Physician-led workgroups that form
into permanent teams can then take
these standard best practices and
adapt them for the particular needs
of their organization.
© 2016 Health Catalyst
Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Connecting All the Pieces of the Outcomes
Improvement Puzzle
Organizations that successfully and
sustainably improve outcomes understand
that the analytics system is not an end in
and of itself, but a means to an end.
They understand that adoption and best
practice systems are also essential.
These organizations’ improvement
projects are not driven by IT. Executives
(and especially the chief medical officer)
are engaged and involved in the project.
© 2016 Health Catalyst
Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Connecting All the Pieces of the Outcomes
Improvement Puzzle
At the same time, these organizations
have grassroots champions and
clinician leaders on the frontlines of
care who help elicit enthusiasm and
drive adoption.
Engaged clinicians keep patient
needs in their sights at all times and
don’t get distracted by the bells and
whistles of new technology.
© 2016 Health Catalyst
Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation.
Connecting All the Pieces of the Outcomes
Improvement Puzzle
Finally, successful organizations do not have
an “if you build it, they will come” mentality.
They know that gaining adoption
requires concerted effort and establishing
new organizational structures.
They’re not afraid to break from the
status quo or try a new intervention to
improve care processes.
Instead, they’re willing to break down
barriers and disrupt inertia.

From Installed to Stalled: Why Sustaining Outcomes Improvement Requires More then Technology

  • 1. From Installed to Stalled: Why Sustaining Outcomes Improvement Requires More than Technology ̶ Drew Cardon
  • 2. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Sustainable Change in a Healthcare System Igniting change and outcomes improve- ment within a healthcare system requires three unique elements. It’s well accepted that an analytics platform, with its enterprise data warehouse (EDW) and advanced analytics applications plays a pivotal role. Two other elements—adoption of analytics across the enterprise and converting data-driven discoveries to best practices—are essential for sustaining healthcare outcomes improvement.
  • 3. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Outcomes Improvement Requires Adoption and Best Practices The analytics platform is crucial for driving any outcomes improvement initiative, especially over time. Let’s look at three scenarios that show why it must be supported by an adoption methodology and best practices implementation: • Without adoption • Without best practices • Without analytics
  • 4. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Outcomes Improvement Requires Adoption and Best Practices Without adoption Focusing on best practices and analytics is insufficient. Without adoption, the organization ends up with solutions that never quite create a lasting impact across the organization as a whole. While research-focused organizations have good intentions to use research to feed the creation of best practices, they are often prone to academically appealing ideas with little regard for practical application.
  • 5. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Outcomes Improvement Requires Adoption and Best Practices Without adoption Sometimes organizations focus squarely on the technical and analytical aspects of improving outcomes. These tend to manifest symptoms of large report queues and dashboards. It’s the mentality that says, “if we build it, they will come!” But without input and buy-in of the right stakeholders, the organization creates many technical solutions that end up on the shelf.
  • 6. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Outcomes Improvement Requires Adoption and Best Practices Without adoption Finally, there are organizations that are able to adequately merge the two other systems of analytics with best practices, but don’t have the expertise to get widespread adoption. They create successful “science projects,” limited pockets of excellence, then find themselves unable to rollout improvements across the organization.
  • 7. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Outcomes Improvement Requires Adoption and Best Practices Without best practices If the organization implements an adoption system and analytics, but doesn’t include best practices, it may end up with consistent practices. But not the right practices, i.e., a standardized status quo rather than continuous improvement. We affectionately call this the “paved cow paths” approach because processes are automated and adopted, but not truly improved.
  • 8. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Outcomes Improvement Requires Adoption and Best Practices Without best practices To avoid these symptoms, we advocate permanent teams consisting of frontline individuals with deep subject matter expertise. Another symptom could be clinician’s disengagement of management’s “flavor of the month,” where there is missing evidence in the data and missing proof of best practice. To outperform competitors you must be dedicated to delivering the best care.
  • 9. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Outcomes Improvement Requires Adoption and Best Practices Without analytics If best practices and a system to spread adoption are implemented, but ignore analytics, it has no way to measure effectiveness. Improvement projects chosen will tend to be based on who shouts the loudest rather than focusing its resources on areas with the most variability in quality and cost. Organizations without a robust analytics system experience unsustainable improvements after only a couple of projects because they don’t have the automated capabilities to scale.
  • 10. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements Most organizations understand the need for an analytics system, but many fail to implement an adoption and best practice system to feed and nurture the technical aspects of an improvement project. Let’s touch on the challenges of implementing these two critical systems and then I’ll reveal the characteristics of organizations that implement them successfully.
  • 11. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements Gaining Adoption Without adoption, even the best data- driven improvement projects can stall. Health Catalyst is working with Piedmont Healthcare, an integrated delivery system with six hospitals and close to 100 clinics in Georgia. It is a perfect example of how adoption is so important to process improvement, and is a great success story of sepsis care improvement.
  • 12. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements Gaining Adoption Piedmont organized a cross-functional team consisting of innovative clinicians and frontline staff, supported by analytical and process improvement personnel. As the workgroup built out the solution, they were constantly feeding the improvements up the chain so those improvements could be vetted and implemented across each hospital in the Piedmont system.
  • 13. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements Gaining Adoption Piedmont brought in Health Catalyst’s Sepsis Improvement application and then went through a data validation process to gain comfort with the data being presented. Data validation can literally paralyze a project when there is too much focus on getting things exactly correct, so the workgroup was careful to do just enough validation to garner a high level of ownership and engagement, aka adoption.
  • 14. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements Gaining Adoption Based on the data and their own knowledge of clinical workflow, the Piedmont team made initial decisions about where to focus improvement efforts. This group was also tasked with determining how to implement best practices that would drive the desired improvement. To gain buy-in and receive valuable feedback, the workgroup presented its recommendations to peers.
  • 15. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements Gaining Adoption This physician-led process ensured the perspectives of all key stakeholders informed any changes to a clinical or operational process. It gave clinicians an opportunity to “fingerprint” new processes—to give their feedback and make the process their own. This is more than just coming up with goals and metrics. It is about using the team’s knowledge and expertise to drive out waste and improve processes.
  • 16. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements Gaining Adoption For example, Piedmont wanted to do more than simply track how well they were responding to system alerts. We put the data to work by establishing a baseline, identifying parameters for improving alert sensitivity, and implementing triage and system alert training. Piedmont also wanted to improve its 3-hour and 6-hour bundle compliance, so we used the EDW to track order set utilization and standard notes and assessments.
  • 17. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements Gaining Adoption Over the years, we have seen these physician-led workgroups achieve incredible, sustainable quality improvements. On the other hand, we see quality improve- ment projects flounder when driven by IT. Clinicians tend to view such projects as imposed from the outside by people who don’t understand clinical workflow. Physician leadership and enthusiasm are absolutely essential to driving adoption system-wide.
  • 18. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements Implementing Best Practices In U.S. healthcare, spending waste is estimated at $1 trillion a year. Best practices are a key to transform- ing healthcare and reducing waste. So why is it so hard to implement best practices throughout an organization? Why does it take an average of 17 years for a newly discovered best practice to become standard practice in healthcare?
  • 19. © 2016 Health Catalyst Proprietary. Feel free to share but we would appreciate a Health Catalyst citation. Challenges of Implementing the Two Elements Implementing Best Practices One of the biggest reasons is simply a matter of human nature: most of us are comfortable with the status quo. Physicians like to do things the way they’ve always done them and don’t like to change. Comfort with the status quo isn’t limited to physicians.
