Objectives
• Discuss the impact of complex processes on staff and patients.
• Describe how breaking down silos between departments impacts relationships.
• Explain how real time problem-solving supports reliable results
• Identify when problems become interdepartmental.

Background
5
• Signal: Ideally my patient would have had an IV pump in the room when admitted from PACU. In this case there was no pump.
![Page 6: One at a Time Real Time Non-Clinical Problem-solving.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f957/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Current Condition
• Current state has IV pumps located throughout the hospital with no standards. Central Supply maintains the pumps in their area, and delivers pumps upon a call from the floor. This leads to large delays, given that the supply tech in CS may not be in their area, or that there may not be any pumps available. In the event there are no pumps available the tech will have to search room by room to find an unused pump to take to the requesting floor. This can be a substantial wait for the patient.

Root Cause Analysis/Problem
My patient did not have an IV pump when they needed one
• Why: There was not IV pump in the room• Why: The IV pump was removed from the room • Why: The IV pump was needed in another
location/patient• Why: There was no IV pump available for the
other location/patient • Why: There is a resource allocation issue
around this problem

Target Condition
• There is an IV pump available for the patient at the point of entry and that pump stays with the patient until discharge. That way there is no delay in care and the patient receives the treatment they need.

Countermeasures• Based on the recommendations of the ISU Engineering
Students a team of nursing leaders as well as Integrated Services personnel will be put together to examine the “par level” concept they presented for the IMMC campus, and how it can be implemented at ILH.
• The correct “par” quantities will be decided upon by the team allowing for the right number of pumps to be kept on the units for direct admits, and additional meds that may be needed.
• Facilities, Nursing, and Central Supply will assure adequate storage and signage referencing the number of pumps needed on a unit is available in the proper store rooms.

Countermeasures Cont.• Central Supply will allocate the pumps to the
store rooms the evening prior to the start date of the new model.
• EVS will clean all pumps upon discharge assuring the every pump not in use is clean are ready to use
• Central Supply will make three passes a day (7:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.) to redistribute extra pumps from discharged patients to assure the “par numbers” are being kept

Signal
• Completion of Department Specific Orientation Checklist for New Hire/Transferred employees did not meet Joint Commission Compliance requirements.
• Completion/Compliance rate as of 12/2010: 43%• TARGET: 90%
![Page 14: One at a Time Real Time Non-Clinical Problem-solving.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f957/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Barriers
• No specific incident/signal identified.
• Signal received 30-60+ days following initial presentation of new employee in department – not “real time”
• Difficult to conduct observations
![Page 15: One at a Time Real Time Non-Clinical Problem-solving.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f957/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Over Coming the Barriers
• Produced list of Employees/Managers non-compliant
• Identified a mix of different department managers to meet for ‘Observation’
• Met with Managers and asked “Tell me about your process”
![Page 16: One at a Time Real Time Non-Clinical Problem-solving.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f957/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Background
Ideally, Education/HR would receive
completed Department Specific Orientation
forms within three (3) weeks of start date,
but, in this case Education/HR did not.
![Page 17: One at a Time Real Time Non-Clinical Problem-solving.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f957/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Problem StatementAs of 1/19/2011, Education/HR had not received the Dept. Specific
Orientation on new employee KV (DOH 11/30/2010)
Why: Manager maintained the Dept Specific Orientation in the Manager’s ee working file.
Why: Manager not aware that it needed to go anywhere else/feared it would get lost.
Why: Manager reported not given clear direction regarding the process for the form/many documents lost when sent thru office mail.
Why: Manager orientation is not complete, simple, or direct.

Counter Measures/Specific Work
Orientation Policy updated to reflect more reasonable timeframe to return Checklist for ComplainceFrom 3 weeks to 60 Days
Audit all New Hires versus small sample size to attain 90% complaince rate
Notification Process to Managers through Outlook Tasks implemented to facilitate increased compliance beginning February 2011

Self-Pay Radiology Process
The Finley Hospital
Jan Hirsch, Director of Radiology
Shellie Thalacker, Director of Registration
![Page 21: One at a Time Real Time Non-Clinical Problem-solving.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f957/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Ideal Statement
Ideally, all self-pay patients have been made aware and understand their payment
obligations and options prior to service being performed, but in this instance, the patient
missed process checkpoints
![Page 22: One at a Time Real Time Non-Clinical Problem-solving.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f957/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
5 WhysProblem statement: Patient had MRI procedure
without making planned payment– Why: X-ray front desk staff did not ask for payment receipt
– Why: X-ray front desk staff did not know that they were supposed to ask for receipt
– Why: X-ray front desk staff did not know patient was self-pay
– Why: Patient was not identified as self-pay at registration
– Why: There was an active account available
– Why: Patient was registered as standard out-patient
– Why: Because there is no standardized registration process for self-pay patients
![Page 23: One at a Time Real Time Non-Clinical Problem-solving.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f957/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Countermeasures
23
• Created self-pay patient identification and payment procedure
• Education for staff on new procedure• Initiated new communication process between
Finley Liaison and Registrar• Created a red face sheet to alert staff to self-pay
status• Patient obtains receipt upon payment at Cashier• Patient presents receipt to initiate service in
Radiology

Signal Question
Did a self-pay patient have a radiology procedure without payment?
Next Steps
•Wait for self-pay patient to trial new process

Signal
• Delay in getting patient admitted to med/surg from the ED
![Page 29: One at a Time Real Time Non-Clinical Problem-solving.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f957/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Root Cause
• The EVS evening and night shift housekeepers (suppliers) had no way of knowing how to prioritize the needs of their customers (units that are running out of clean rooms)
![Page 30: One at a Time Real Time Non-Clinical Problem-solving.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f957/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Countermeasure
• Direct connection between House Supervisor/Bed Placement and EVS evening and night supervisor every day at start of shift so EVS knows where to prioritize room cleaning
![Page 31: One at a Time Real Time Non-Clinical Problem-solving.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f957/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Results
– “The inpatient areas almost never tell us that we have to wait for a room to be cleaned anymore”, ED staff
– “The housekeepers are so much happier! They aren’t getting near as many 911 calls, they know where they’re needed, and they’re getting their breaks” EVS Manager
