Quick factsVast territorial area to cover including lots of islandsAlaska is 1/6th of the land mass of whole of North Americaand 20 times bigger than Scotland

Smaller population than Scotland Total 710,231. Anchorage largest population centre 300,000 people. Alaskan Native people 14.80% of total

SCF 1,500 staff, 50,000 patients in Anchorage area and additional 10,000 patients scattered in 50 outlying villages. Some of these are more than a 3 hour flight away at a cost of $1,000 in “gas”.

Why change?Everyone was frustrated…• Customer owners frustrated – waiting, impersonal,

paternalistic, crowded, unfriendly• Clinical staff frustrated – too many people, not

enough time, no personal relationship, too many demands

• Management frustrated – lots of unhappy people, hard to motivate staff, poor financial performance, poor facilities

• Payers – higher and higher costs

Page 12: Shining a Different Light

With this knowledge….change

everything • Project based improvement driven by individual

programs or people could only tinker with the current system, not really change the system

• 1999 –when took on co management of in patient services. Board and CEO said…change everything – whole system, as quickly as possible

• Build on existing SCF 10 years philosophy, traditions, the ways of the Alaska Native people

Page 13: Shining a Different Light

SCF Story ……………..• We can only create health in relationship• Critical elements – honour, dignity, self worth,

personal confidence • We will do that with intentionality everywhere in the

entire system

• We will not be ‘patient centred’, we will be individual and family controlled at every level to the extent

possible • Journey together – shared responsibility

Page 14: Shining a Different Light

Redefine Work

• Move from episodic, reactive care to long-term relationship

• Move from only one-to-one visits to use of groups, phone, e-mail, fax

• Move from doctor-centric to team based approach in relationships

• Move to team based meetings, problem solving

1. Control – who makes the final decision influencing outcome?2. Influences – family, friends, co-workers, religion, values, money3. Real opportunity to influence health costs/outcomes – influence

on the choices made – behavioral change4. Current model – tests, diagnosis, treatment (meds or procedures)

Page 16: Shining a Different Light

Healthcare Provider Changes for Effective Relationships • No longer a hero but a partner• Control does not equal compliance • Replace blaming with understanding• Give customers options not orders • Provide customer with resources• Make it simple

Page 17: Shining a Different Light

Customer-owner Changes for Effective Relationships

• Be active not passive• Take responsibility for your health• Get information about your health• Ask questions about advice • Ask for options
