System-Wide Strategies

10

Quality

& Safety

Lead healthcare to superior patient outcomes through

creation of a high reliability culture with evidence-

based quality and patient safety as our core value.

Patients Create strong customer loyalty by providing

exceptional experiences for all patients.

Physicians Build sustainable, trusting & collaborative relationships to

advance our respective quality and economic objectives.

People Recruit, develop, & retain top performing employees.

Operational

Excellence

Achieve targeted financial operating performance. Optimize the

efficiency and value of services provided and focus on

operational improvement opportunities in preparation for a new

business model.

Methodology Development 2008-10: Four Sites

• MH The Woodlands: Methodology

Development

• MH Northeast: Methodology Pilot

• MH TMC Heart and Vascular Institute:

Methodology Pilot

• MH Northwest: Targeted Solutions Tool

Pilot

20

Goals for FY2011

July 2010 – June 2011

• All 12 MHHS hospitals:

– Implement the hand hygiene methodology via

the Targeted Solutions Tool

– Implement in “rounds” so that all clinical care

areas are live with the TST and

• Accomplish reliable baseline compliance rates

• Obtain contributing factors for non-compliance

• Continue collecting compliance data and provide

feedback to staff

21

Goals for FY2012

July 2011 – June 2012

• Utilize contributing factors data to

implement targeted solutions for

improvement

• Increase compliance by at least 30

additional percentage points from house

wide baseline or reach 90%

22

Hand Hygiene Methodology Process

• Identify units

• Train secret observers

• Collect baseline data

• Identify contributing factors via JIT

coaching/continue to collect data

---------------------------------------------------------

• Implement solutions

• Sustain the gains 23

FY2011

FY2012

FY11 Do No Harm Performance Goals

• Identify units to participate

• Identify Process Owners for units

• Identify Secret Observers

• Train/test Secret Observers

• Gather Baseline Data

• Lock-in Baseline Compliance Rate

• Identify Just in Time Coaches

• Train Just in Time Coaches

• Collect data indicating contributing factors

• Continue to collect compliance data

• Lock in contributing factors

• Continue to collect compliance data

Sites rolled out in

up to three

“rounds” of units.

24

Monthly Goal Examples

• Nov 2010: Round one secret observers accomplish

baseline data collection

• After baseline data collection completed, secret

observers begin collecting on-going compliance data

(reduce by 50%)

• Jan 2011: For units with “locked in” baseline

compliance, continue to collect on-going compliance

• Train Round TWO secret observers

• Identify Round THREE units

• Feb 2011: Round TWO secret observers collect baseline

data

• Round ONE JIT coaches COMPLETE data collection on

contributing factors for non-compliance

25

FY12 Do No Harm Performance Goals

• Identify contributing factors for non-

compliance by unit via Pareto on TST

• Identify solutions from menu on TST per

unit

• Submit solutions to System QPS

• Implement solutions by unit

• Submit monthly house-wide compliance

• Increase compliance by 30 percentage

points above baseline or reach 90% 26

Keys to Success

• Awareness Before Go-Live

• TST Steps Converted to Gantt Chart

• Facility and Unit Process Owners

• Bi-weekly Teleconferences

• Frequent Site Visiting

• Monthly “Nag-omatic” Assessments to

Meet Performance Standards

27

Hand Hygiene Myth Busters

• Myth 1: During baseline data collection each secret

observer collects at least 20 observations per day.

– Truth: 20 observations is a total for all observers per

unit. Baseline collection can occur during any

fourteen 24 hour periods.

• Myth 2: Access to web portal is limited.

– Truth: Based on the needs identified by the Process

Owner, designees can be given access to hand

hygiene (TST) only.

• Myth 3 – Must divy up hospital into 3 equal rounds.

– Truth: Sites free to customize to achieve house wide

reliable data by July 1, 2011. 29

• Ambulatory Sports Medicine and Rehab (30)

• Outpatient Imaging (21)

• Diagnostics Labs (50) grouped by hospital

• Baseline 65.2% (July 2011 – April 2012)

– Rolled out by region

– Goal is 30 observations per month for each site

• Challenge to define “entry” vs “exit”

• Learned where sanitizers needed and the need

for cleaning patient equipment

• Data Collected > 30,000 observations

FY2013 Journey

39

The Power of Robust Process Improvement

• Method and measurement leads to

performance

– Reliable baseline data collection

– Targeted solutions implemented

– Spread to outpatient

– 330,000+ observations assessing

compliance

– December 2012 compliance = 92%

– January 2013 – July 2013 = 90+%

40

Stories Reflect Culture Change

• A secret observer was a patient for an outpatient

procedure. She collected data during her stay.

Of 18 opportunities, the staff posted 95%

compliance.

• A family member commented to a nurse how

impressed she was with the level of hand

washing.

• A dietary staff member was heard reminding a

clinical staff member to wash.

• A family member washed his hands as a

reminder to the physician to do so. 41
