HUGE PORTION OF NO-/LOW-VALUE ADDING EMPLOYMENT TIME IN A TYPICAL HOSPITAL

Physicians on the ward(“residents”) spend about30-40 % of their time beingoccupied with tasks they would not have needed tostudy medicine for.

Nurses on the ward spendabout 20-30% of their timebeing occupied with tasksthey would not have neededto be educated as nurses for.



REALITY IN TOO MANY HOSPITALS:NO OR LOW CREATION OF VALUE

No creation of value: on thethird day after the patient’sadmission a medical residentspends two hours to searchfor the patient record.

Low creation of value as re-lated to education or pro-fession: a medical resident spends one hour to make phone calls and organize a patient’s EKG, x- ray, and ENT consult the same day.

STRUMA RESECTION PATHWAY

Pre-Admission Day 1



CHANGE IN PROFESSIONS:NURSING TAKES CHARGE OF CLINICAL MANAGEMENT

Physician and nurse commonly use a „quick-check“ table of the pathway in A3 format (or even IT-based).

The resident adapts the pathway for the individual patient via „individual corrections“.

Case manager (primary nurse) is process owner of the patients way thru diagnostics and treatment.

She administers windows (time slots): Scheduling is based on pathway prescriptions.



REALLOCATION OF JOBS AND TASKS:BENEFIT FOR PHYSICIANS

Physicians having less documentation andcommunication load.

Physicians stating higher compliance of the nursing profession with prescriptions deviating from standard.

Physicians describing nursing profession as more interested and motivated.

Physicians profiting from improved development perspective for the nursing profession.



KEY ECONOMIC RESULTS OFSTRUCTURED INFORMATION EXCHANGE

LOS objectives reached

Costs „occurred“are accurate for diagnosis (DRG)

structured communication betweennurses and physicians

early and continuous discharge planning
