Problem Statement • What is the problem? Low patient satisfaction with pain management has
been identified as an organizational problem.
• How do we know it is a problem? The baseline patient satisfaction scores aggregated at the organizational level for satisfaction with pain management are at the 26th percentile when compared nationally.
• What data to we have on baseline performance? National comparative data from the HCAHPS Patient Satisfaction survey is available at the organizational and unit level. Additionally, nursing has been involved in a multi-center research problem sponsored by the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators which has resulted in data regarding pain management.
• What “pain” does it cause? (impact to patient and/or bottom line): 74% of other benchmarked facilities receive better scores from the patient in regards to pain management, causing the patient to perceive less than optimal care was provided which can lead to poor satisfaction scores, poor publically reported data, decreased reimbursement, and a potential increase in length of stay.

Presentation Notes
This should come from your project charter and should include baseline data as a reference point if available.
Why is this important?
• Include Voice of the Customer (VOC): Patients are not satisfied with the pain management that is provided.
• Why this, why now? (“Burning Platform”): Scores have been low for a long time, Publically reported, Reimbursement issues, Quality of care issues, Affects Magnet Status
• What will happen if we don’t fix this? Potential loss of patients to other providers, Decrease revenue, Increase length of stay, loss of magnet designation, etc.

Project Charter Project Name: Patient Satisfaction with Pain Management
Champion: Karen Grimley & Zeev Kain, MD
Belt: Donna Grochow & Maurice Espinoza Master Black Belt: Laura Winner/Henry Alvarez Problem Statement: The current patient satisfaction scores aggregated at the organizational level for satisfaction with pain management are at the 26th percentile when compared nationally. Four units are <10th percentile.
Project Goal: To improve the perceptual experience of patients with pain management to the 50th percentile on selected units. To increase the mean of the 3 Path Y statements to the benchmark mean and/or 50th Percentile.
Project Y / Path-Y: Project Y: Patient satisfaction scores with pain management. Path-Y: Mean percent of patients with positive response to the statement “My Healthcare team involved me in the decisions about controlling my pain”. Path-Y: Mean percent of patients with positive response to the statement “My nurse suggested approaches to help manage my pain”. Path-Y: Mean percent of patients with positive response to the statement “My nurse believed my reports about my pain”.
Scope: Limited to these areas with current satisfaction scores <10th percentile: CCU, DH 32, Tower 4, & 5
Team Members: Nursing: Physician: Donna Grochow S. Liao, MD Maurice Espinoza I. De Alba MD Charlene Miranda-Wood Patient Relations: Khaled Al Eid Carla Camarillo Victoria Malonzo Haley McCraney Van Le Pharmacy Holly Wicklas Lan Zheng Dan Bernsein
Benefits: Improved patient pain satisfaction scores Decreased length of stay Improved physiological and psychological healing Decreased rate of readmission Decreased rate of outpatient visits

Early Waste Identification DOMOWIT • Defects:
– Lack of communication between MD & RN regarding pain plan of care
– Lack of communication between RN & aide regarding pain plan of care
– Lack of communication between RN & patient regarding pain plan of care
– Lack of communication between aide & patient regarding pain plan of care
– Lack of communication between MD & patient regarding pain plan of care
• Over-processing – RN often has to page and/or call MD multiple times for pain medication orders
– Patient often unaware of when pain medication is available and has to repeatedly ask nurse
• Motion – RN or aide has to answer patient’s call light to answer question about when next pain medication is due
• Over-production:
• Waiting – Adequate/correct pain medication not given timely, patient has to request pain medication
• Inventory
• Transportation

Voice of Customer
• What We Currently Have Available: – Patient Satisfaction Data (HCAHPS)
– National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI): • Participated in research study to identify issues with pain management
• All eligible medical-surgical patients were surveyed on 1 day in April 2011.
• Baseline data available for review
• Repeat survey pending in November
• Next Steps: – Interview patients 1 day per week x 3 weeks using pre-designed
survey tool
– Focus groups with key stakeholders: MDs, nurses, pharmacist, etc.

• Could other areas of the organization benefit from a similar improvement effort?
Plan is to disseminate interventions to entire organization once pilot is completed and any needed changes are finalized.
