Deming into the HCA Curriculum

Overview
• Why should HCA programs be interested in Deming and Goldratt?
• What are SoPK and TOC?• What are the key undergraduate education
and training goals for SoPK and TOC?• How were Deming and Goldratt integrated
into the UWM curriculum?• What market is there for students so
educated?• What are the available resources?
My Background…not an expert but…
• Began introducing Deming and Goldratt to HCA students back in the early 90s– Graduate work in SPC– Attend Deming Four Day Seminar– Several presentations at Deming Institute
Conference meetings– Academic Jonah– Deming Immersion Program
Why should HCA programs be Why should HCA programs be interested in interested in SoPKSoPK and TOC?and TOC?
• TOC and SoPK are changing the British National Health System (NHS).– Examples of Change
– See overheads at: • http://www.healthcare-toc.com/results_files/Page392.htm
If the UK, why not the US?
• Applies within a system…– Do we have a healthcare system?
• Who is trained to do it?– Theory of Constraints in Healthcare 11/06
USA
What are What are SoPKSoPK & TOC?& TOC?
• Deming (SoPK) –Transformation– System of Profound Knowledge
• Four Parts
• Goldratt (TOC)—Throughput– Theory of Constraints
• Focus on Bottleneck
Deming (SoPK) System of Profound Knowledge• SoPK as Design Principles
– Psychology• Intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation for coordination
– Theory of Knowledge• Perception of reality—truth or maps
– Variation• Predetermined source vs. investigation of process
– Systems• Independent vs. interdependent processes
Goldratt: Focus on the bottleneck!!!
• Explicit Questions– What to change?– To what to change?– How to cause the change?
• Implicit Question– Why change?
• System is producing “undesirable effects” UDEs
Integration of SoPK & TOC
• TOC Provides Aim for SoPK– Work on weakest link of chain for bottom line
results
• SoPK Provides Culture for TOC– TOC withers without an environment of trust
• I tell my students they must know if a process is stable or not and whether it is the bottleneck or not before they are capable of effective management.
• Handout: TOC within SoPK
What are the key undergraduate What are the key undergraduate education and training goals for education and training goals for SoPKSoPK and TOC?and TOC?
• SoPK– Psychology
• Type and temperament
– Theory of Knowledge• PDSA cycle, measurement, primer on philosophy of science,
concept maps, and knowledge vees
– Variation• Control Charts
– Systems• Process studies & general systems theory
What are the key undergraduate What are the key undergraduate education and training goals for education and training goals for SoPKSoPK and TOC?and TOC?• TOC
• Bottlenecks: physical, policy, paradigm • Focusing Steps
• Thinking Process• Logic Trees
• Three Ps: Now and in future• profit, people, product/service
• Five Focusing Steps• Drum-Buffer-Rope• Layers of Resistance to Change
How were Deming and Goldratt How were Deming and Goldratt integrated into the UWM curriculum?integrated into the UWM curriculum?
• Hired faculty member with background and training• Course changes:
– Add sophomore Leadership course– Convert junior Healthcare Process Measurement course to statistical
process control, process studies and philosophy of science as well as measurement
– Convert junior Epidemiology to managerial epi with science focus– Add senior Advanced Systems Thinking
• Integrate Deming and Goldratt (Senge for grads and doctoral students)
• Provides 12 credit hours…in addition we have quality course• Program Director & Department Chair support every step of
the way!
What market is there for What market is there for students so educated?students so educated?
