Sustainability…ongoing attentionand continuous improvement

“Sustainability is not a ‘project’ with an end-point. It is rather a constant effort to

embed a change into the fabric of daily work.”

“We do not actually want completely sustainable change because today’s sustained change becomes tomorrow’s resistance to change. Instead we want change that sustains itself until a better idea or a context-shift occurs – but not longer than that.”

Defining the Problem

www.HQOntario.ca

“If I were given onehour to save the planet, Iwould spend 59 minutes defining the problem andone minute resolving it.”

- Albert Einstein

37

38

“Our challenge is not to develop more sensitive ways to detect our risks, our errors, our flaws, our variation, our indignities, our fragmentation, our delays, our waste, our insults to the people we say we exist to serve.

Our challenge is to have the courage to name clearly and boldly the problems we have."

Donald Berwick, President and CEO of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement

www.HQOntario.ca

39

Pause & Probe

www.HQOntario.ca

Pausing and Probing Overview The strategic plans in Healthcare is focused on delivering demonstrably better care for patients/clients/residents. Also to reinforce the organization’s mission “to give the healthcare we’d like our loved ones to receive.”

The measures quality of care in two domains:1. clinical outcomes 2. patient and family experience with care.

VSA and Identifying Waste

Value Addedfor the client

• Activities performed to meet the patient’s requirements

Non Value Added

(but value added for the organization)

Waste

• Steps are required

• Steps do not contribute directly to fulfilling patients needs

Steps in any process can be…

~95% of any process is Non-Value Added (NVA) from a client’s perspective

www.HQOntario.ca 44

Considerations for Generating a VSA

Source: Access and Patient Flow Toolkit. London Health Science Centre. McKinsey & Company. 2007.

• Map the patient’s journey

• Think in terms of the process

• Focus on the main flow

• Focus on getting a good snapshot of the actual process

• Include ‘informal’ information flows

• VSAs are non-evaluative

Not a new behavior No policy for

documenting RB

The policy is not clear on who should document

Not sure when to documentNot sure where to document the behaviour in the notes

We do not have enough space to do our documentation

Our electronic documentation tool does not allow for the different types of behaviours

Don’t know where to document

Not enough time

Do not know what to document

Every resident has a behavioural issue

5 Why Analysis

www.HQOntario.ca 54

What is 5 Why?

• Simple yet highly effective

• Any problem, any process, any system

• How to engage staff and use “why” to dig deep into the causes of an issue

• Identifying what the team has the power to change

55

You don’t want to list 5 different reasons, you

want to go deep on 1 reason.

Caution:

• If your last answer is something you cannot control, go back up to the previous answer.

• Cannot be because of a person.

5 Whys Worksheet

Action:

56

5 Whys Example

Why is the documentation of Responsive Behaviours inconsistent?

Because there is variation in coding.

Because staff differ in their interpretations.

Because RNs & PSWs differ in their definitions of RB is and how they code..

Because the organization has not developed standard definitions.Action:

Registered staff and PSWs will work together to develop definitions for each Responsive Behaviour to eliminate differences in staff interpretation and establish a common understanding.

MEASUREMENT OVERVIEW

63

Measurement for:

64

Aspect Improvement & Learning

Research Accountability

Purpose To bring new knowledge into daily practice

To discover new knowledge

Comparison, choice, reassurance, spur for change

Tests Many sequential, observable tests

One large "blinded" test

No tests

Biases Stabilize the biases from test to test (accept consistent bias)

Control for as many biases as possible

Measure and adjust to reduce bias

Data Gather "just enough" data to learn and complete another cycle (small sequential samples)

Gather as much data as possible, "just in case"

Obtain 100% of available, relevant data

Determining if change is an improvement

Run charts or control charts

Hypothesis tests (T-tests, F-tests, Chi-square), p-value

No change focus

The Quality Measurement Journey

• Link to AIM• Types: Outcomes, Process, and BalancingIdentify Measures

• Description in quantifiable terms of what to measure and the steps to follow to measure it consistently

Operational Definitions

• Need to determine what, who, why, when, how, data is collected. Consider sampling and stratification. Measurement Plan

• Try to use existing data, but may need to use some manual collection until changes are implemented.Data Collection

• Many types of analyses such as statistical, capability, probability dependent on the types of data collected.Analysis

Identify Measures• Outcome:

– Align with AIM – Reflect Voice of the Customer

• Process: – Focus on the system that affects the outcome– Reflect Voice of the System

• Balancing– Broad view of the system– Unexpected/unwanted effects

• PDSA– Align with Process Measure

www.HQOntario.ca

What? What is being measured? How is it related to other measures? What related data will be captured? Is it a process measure or an outcome measure? What type of data is being gathered (e.g., a process time, a defect count, etc.)?

How? How will the related data be captured? What data is produced by a computer and what is collected manually? If manually, which Data Collection Sheet is used?

When? When and how frequently will the data collection take place

(e.g., day of week, time of day, frequency)?

Where? On which unit, area, department

will the data be collected e.g.,

medication room unit 4F.

Who? Who is responsible for : capturing the raw data? aggregating/ collecting the data sheets? updating the quality board?

Process or Outcome Measure?

Measure Type of Data

Access: Outcome-

Percent of patients/clients able to see a doctor or nurse practitioner on the same day or next day, when needed

Attribute Paper Patient Survey: “The last time you were sick, how many days did it take from when you first tried to see your doctor or nurse practitioner to when you actually SAW him/her or someone else in their office?”

random sample of 10% of visits after each visit with provider per month

Surveys will be handed out in FHT offices and submitted anonymously

Front office staff will collect and enter the data report to board monthly.

Access: Process-

Third Next Available Appointment

Attribute Count in the schedule Sample weekly on the same day at the same time

Each providers data would submit to FHT monthly

Scheduling staff to collect and collate reported monthlyto board

Access: Process-

Demand for visits

Attribute Track internal and external demand on paper

For two weeks starting next month for baseline, then once per week quarterly as needed

For each provider Scheduling staff to report quarterly

74

Data Collection Tips

• Collect useful data, not perfect data• Use existing data if available• Manual collection if necessary• Use sampling to reduce collection burden• Use qualitative data to focus on best opportunities• Build data collection into regular day to day

processes

www.HQOntario.ca

MAKE DATA VISIBLE, ESPECIALLY TO THOSE INVOLVED

www.HQOntario.ca 75

Data collectionStratification• Separation & classification of

data according to predetermined categories

• Designed to discover patterns in the data

• For example, are there differences by shift, time of day, day of week, severity of patients, age, gender or type of procedure?

Sampling• Systematic sampling• Simple random sampling• Stratified sampling• Proportional stratified• Random sampling• Quota sampling• Judgment sampling• Convenience sampling

www.HQOntario.ca 76

Consider stratification BEFORE you collect the

data

Knowledge of sampling techniques will make data

collection much easier and less time consuming

Sampling Strategies Match the Examples

• By Doctor; 40% of X practice, 60% of Y practice

• By time of day, shift

• First choose males and females from two different doctor’s practices then sample proportionally.

• Complete defect form on every 10th

patient

• . Intake clerk determines sample.

• Next 5 patients

• Randomly choose three referrals weekly to audit

• Use random numbers program and choose from the entire referral list.

• Systematic sampling

• Simple random sampling

• Random sampling

• Stratified sampling

• Proportional stratified sampling

• Quota sampling

• Judgment sampling

Causes of Variability• Common Causes

– Random variation (usual)– No pattern– Inherent in process– adjusting the process increases its variation

• Special Causes– Non-random variation (unusual)– May exhibit a pattern– Assignable, explainable, controllable– adjusting the process decreases its variation

Common Cause vs.Special Cause

94

Understanding VariationWe use Run Charts and Control Charts to differentiate: • Common cause variation

– causes inherent in the system over time – affect everyone working in the system – If only common cause variation is present, then we need

to redesign the process for improvement to occur.

• Special cause variation – causes that are not part of the current process or do not affect

everyone – and that arise because of specific circumstances– We are trying to create special cause variation!

– Six or more consecutive points either all above or all below the median

• Rule Two: A Trend– Five or more consecutive points all going up or all going down

• Rule Three: An Astronomical Data Point– An obviously different value; anyone studying the chart would

agree that it is unusual

www.HQOntario.ca

Run Chart Interpretation• All rules should be applied to each graph

– BUT– It is not necessary to find evidence of all rules to determine

that a change has occurred– Any single rule occurring is sufficient evidence of a non-

random signal change

• There is less than 5% probability that the first two tests will be positive just by chance

provided and be prepared to share your thoughts on the following three questions:

1. Is this metric exhibiting common or special cause?

2. What is your interpretation of the situation? Was your interpretation different looking at the “static” vs. “dynamic” view of the data?

3. What, if anything, should be done?
