What Lori Wants - Key Drivers Key Drivers: First tier attributes are most actionable across the ThedaCare system. These attributes are consistently rated by customers (Lori) as most important and have strong impact on customer loyalty. They are also core to our system strategy.
Attributes Description
Listening: My care team/providers listened carefully to me
Care planning with my input:
My care team/providers delivered a care plan designed with my input
Appointments on my terms: I was able to see my provider at a time that worked well for me and it was when I wanted to be seen
Understanding provider roles:
I understood the role played by each of the care team/providers involved in my care
Working to lower costs: My care team/providers worked hard to reduce out-of-pocket costs
8
We Want To Create Connection and Engagement
9
Creating Alignment at ThedaCare 1. Strategy: Our True North Metrics 2. Deployment of Strategy: through A3’s and
Value Streams 3. Continuous Improvement through the
Business Performance System
10
History - ThedaCare’s Lean Journey Began In 2004
Value Stream Analysis
Rapid Improvement
Events Action Plans
11
“While There Were Clear Successes ThedaCare Was Hitting A Wall In Lean Implementation"
12
It become apparent there was a gap between Value Stream-based Improvement Event work and how we were managing in a Lean Culture • “Like pouring new wine into
old skins” • “The ultimate arrogance is to
change the way people work but not to change the way we manage.”
13
Call for Action We were on a continuous improvement cultural transformation, but current systems for managing the business were not in alignment with new expectations. • No one way to manage • Uncertainty on how to measure performance • The right information was not being escalated
for leadership to help • Leadership intervention was “clunky”
14
Hypothesis Problem Root
Cause Countermeasure
We were not consistently performing in all aspects of necessary organizational improvement
Lack of standard manage-ment systems and processes
IF: We create a business management system THEN: Managers will understand performance, know the problems affecting it, and respond to problems in a timely manner IF: We create tiers of progression THEN: We can developmentally coach through the management system and managers will have clear performance expectations IF: We create standard work to support each piece of the system THEN: We will have consistent management expectations across divisions and for each level of leadership IF: Our management system employs the performance criteria from the Human Development Value Stream THEN: We will have a balanced approach to leadership development
15
What Emerged Was BPS The Business Performance System- how to connect Strategy to daily Continuous Improvement
16
The Foundations of the Business Performance System 1. Leader Standard Work at all levels 2. Visual Tracking Of Key Drivers 3. Consistent Processes for Problem Solving ,
Corrective Action and Escalation of key information
4. Leadership Development 5. Leadership Discipline

The Daily Stat Sheet Learning and
Understanding the Business
24
Cultural Transformation Leaders need to rely on their daily stat sheet to understand what they need to know to run their business
25
Ex: Cardiology Practice Daily Stats – Tell me about any safety risks patients/staff/family
today? – Tell me about medications – Any near misses with our
patients? – Are there any incident reports to discuss? – What is a potential quality problem for today? – Tell me how me how we are doing on our key metrics? – Do you have all the resources you need to do your job
today? – Who is going to need the most support today? – Are all the charts prepped for today’s
clinic visits?
26
Ex: Cardiology Practice Daily Stats – Who or what should we celebrate or recognize today?
How? – What might be show stoppers for our
customers today? – Who has openings for New or Return visits today? – What is our planned number of office visits today? – Who is absent or tardy? Who is over their FTE
for the week? – How many people missed lunched yesterday?
What are are we doing to avoid that today? – Are there any patients or procedures that
might be a good media opportunity?
