Analyzing Testing & ImplementingQuestion the Connection
Key Question Your Evaluation
Is the connection between goals and processes clear? (Failure to connect process measures to outcome goals makes no sense!)
Medication Reconciliation-We learned to have an overall measurable goal and then to develop short term goals and objectives. Finding some objectives that we could reach quickly. Accomplishing quick wins starts the momentum and facilitates engagement from the front line staff.
Is the design strategy primarily vigilance and hard work?
Has some degree of segmentation been used to test?
Is standard work with testing been part of the design?
Is a design methodology being used?
Are small tests of change being used in a rapid cycle?

Is the design strategy primarily vigilance and hard work? (Am I guilty of using hard work and vigilance as my only strategy)
Hard work is involved with any project but a focused on drilling down to processes to simplify. Process flow chart completed on steps for admitting patient at each point. Looked at differences and planned on ways to standardize process. Stratagy was to motivate front line staff by involving them in each step of the improvement process. Ask about their needs and thoughts for improvement.

How to Measure the Human Factor Human
Factor Tests of Study the Design Process
Identify Human Factor Tests of Change &
Resulting Defects
Develop Process to Resolve Defects
Performance Rate = LESS than 95%
Performance Rate = 95% or GREATER
Processes are varied, optional, & dependent upon human factor•Common equipment•Standard order sheets •Personal check lists•Written policies/procedures •Multiple choice protocols
Processes are standard, routine, & instigate human factor•Decision aids•Prompters•Standard defaults •Hard stops•Redundant processes
Compliance feedback shared without solutions = “Work harder” next time
Good Intent to Comply + Vigilance & Hard Work Process Failure Invited Performance NOT Sustained
Habits, patterns, & schedules used in the process design to enhance compliance
Human Factors (at least 25%) + Reliability Science
Process Failure Prevented, Identified, Mitigated Performance Sustained
Education and training to provide information to increase awareness with NO standard process specified
Education and training provides information to increase knowledge with processes specified, articulated, & tested
Key Question Your EvaluationIs the connection between goals and process clear?
Is the design strategy primarily vigilance and hard work? (Am I guilty of using hard work and vigilance as my only strategy)
Has some degree of segmentation been used to test?
Yes. We looked at each step of our medication reconciliation process by admission type & location. Focus was placed on obtaining the initial medication history.

Segmentation-Enables control of some variables -Defines boundaries success of
sequential expectations-Tests validity rather than addressing the barriers -Forces understanding of the
differences among segment -Fosters deeper understanding of design complexity -Allows the formation of predictable timelines
• Finding the FIRST Segment– MUST represent a reasonable volume– Should have clearly defined boundaries– Involve willing participants to avoid barrier of agreeing– Allows neutralization of key variables or barriers– Establishes a design theme
• Identifying OTHER Segments– Total segment topics not to exceed 4-5– Segment follows design theme (type of admission, physician,
etc.)
– Segments differ by a distinct design feature– Adjustment of the initial segment division as the design
develops– Segments cover the population involved in the topic

Is the design strategy primarily vigilance and hard work? (Am I guilty of using hard work and vigilance as my only strategy)
Has some degree of segmentation been used to test?
Is standard work with testing been part of the design?
Yes. We analyzed a specific step in a process to determine working, identified possible failures and an improvement goal, and then standardized process for all admitting units, and continue to test.

Standardization - Standard Work
*KEY LEARNING POINT*
A standardized process design using knowledge of human factors & acceptable science is superior to varied processes
•Allows training of new employees & enables testing of current employees•Provide the appropriate infrastructure (the how, what, where, who & when)
– The “what” we are standardizing is based on scientific evidence• Initial standardized protocol requires little time when testing a very small scale• Changes to the protocol in the initial stages should be required and encouraged
– The “how” is based on systems knowledge and does not require scientific evidence• Defects are studied and used to redesign the process
Successful description of a process by 5 front line process users likely to achieve 95% performance

Three Step Design for Reliability
Steps Techniques1. Prevent initial failure by standardizing
the process to achieve 80%a. Identify the process to standardize
b. Segment the population to test the design for anomalies
2. Identify failures in step 1 and apply an
action to achieve 80% for these failures
a. Utilize a robust concept to make visible failures from step 1 after step 1 has achieved 80% reliability
b. Once the failure is identified, apply an action to mitigate the failure
3. In either step 1 and/or step 2 detect the
failures and use the knowledge from
analysis of the failures to redesign
a. Identify common failures
b. Develop a method to measure & study failures
c. Utilize knowledge of common failures to redesign either step 1 or step 2
Points to Remember- Perfection is the enemy of DESIGN - Constant testing of observed defects- The design is designed by the people who use the design - Segmentation tests the design

TESTSKey Question Your EvaluationIs the connection between goals and process clear?
Is the design strategy primarily vigilance and hard work?
Has some degree of segmentation been used to test?
Is standard work with testing been part of the design?
Is a design methodology being used?
Are small tests of change being used in a rapid cycle?
Yes. Data analysis was shifted from the quality department to all members of the team to determine compliance or non-compliance with indicators. This shift enabled the care providers to identify issues from a perspective broader than the focus. When identified, issues would be solved by implementing and testing change or added to the “parking lot” for review at a later time. Collaboration between departments to discuss tests was very beneficial (PACU and Rehabilitation staff).

Is data collection rapid enough? Yes. Initially, every 2 weeks, and then monthly . Each unit involved obtained & reviewed 10 med rec forms. If a problem was identified went to specific unit and asked staff the questions to identify barriers.

Design Measurement = Process Measures
Using Failure Modes in Process ReDesign •Assess defects in the current design (Process Failure)•Prioritize failure modes in terms of overall affect on the reliability of the process•Establish process measures based on the prioritized failure modes
– Incorporate established measurement into the INITIAL design– Evaluate process improvement using small samples over time
Using Measurement to Evaluate Design / ReDesign (Process Measures)•Data collected by the team using established process measures•Data collection strictly follows a define tempo / schedule•Data can initially be collected for segments
PROCESS Measurement vs OUTCOME Measurement•Process measures are collected by the primary team
– Process Measure Goals set at 95% (10-2)•Outcome measures are NOT collected by the primary team
– Outcome measures goals set at 0 / 100%

IHI Science of Improvement Tools•A Framework for Spread: From Local Improvements to System-Wide Change
• A key factor in closing the gap between best practice and common practice is the ability of health care providers and their organizations to rapidly spread innovations and new ideas.
•Spread Planner • The Spread Planner is a set of questions designed to assist
organizations in identifying the key actions they can take to turn a local success into a system-wide improvement.
