4th Annual Advancing Philanthropy Conference
LEAN: Working Smarter Not Harder by Chuck Derus, MD
Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital: Who We Are
• Part of Advocate Healthcare• 333 bed hospital Downers Grove, IL• 2,700 associates, 950 affiliated
physicians and 500 volunteers• Community hospital with level 1
trauma and level 3 NICU• 46,000 ED visits, 156,000 outpatient
visits and 19,500 admissions
Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital: Who We Are
Who We Are
• Thompson Reuters Top 100 Hospital
• Midas Platinum+ Award
• Patient satisfaction ≈ top decile
• Associate satisfaction 91st percentile
• Physician satisfaction 96th percentile
• 17% market share growth
• 106% operating income growth
Problem Solving Versus Fire Fighting
• The story of the missing supply…
• Hunt, gather and assume the problem is solved
• What if you…1. Get what you need to fix now
2. Ask how and why did this occur?
3. Ask how can we prevent this (make a change) from happening again?
Leaning Objectives
• To learn the 8 wastes
• To learn a systematic, repeatable approach to problem solving (A3 PDSA)
• To hopefully go back to your offices and apply this systematic repeatable approach to a problem in your area and to improve that process
The Eight Wastes
DEFECTSInspection and rework
1
OVERPRODUCINGToo much and too early
2
WAITINGQueuing, idle time
3
NOT BEST USE OF TALENT
Not using problem solving skills of people
4
TRANSPORTINGAll patient, staff and material movement
5
INVENTORYAll stock and corresponding control systems
6
MOTIONReaching, bending, searching ...
7
EXTRA PROCESSING Unnecessary activities, Over-complicated

Defects Definition:
A product or service needing repair to fulfill customer requirements

Characteristics:
Medication error
Wrong patient
Wrong procedure
Missing information
Overproduction
Definition:– Producing more
than needed– Working ahead– Producing at a faster pace than needed
Characteristics:– Pills given early to suit staff
schedules– Testing ahead of time to suit lab
schedule– Treatments done to balance
hospital staff or equipment workload
Waiting
Definition:– Idle time in which no value
added activities take place
– People wait time
– Product wait time
Characteristics:
– Bed Assignments
– Admission to ED
– Patient lab test results
– Discharge
Not Best Use of Talent
Definition:– Work-related personnel injuries– Lack of training inhibits flow of
services– Not encouraging creativity and
use of problem-solving skills
Characteristics:– Injured personnel
– Poor flow of services
– Nurses supplying
Transportation
Definition:– Any unnecessary
material, patient or staff movement
Characteristics:– Moving samples or specimens– Moving paperwork– Moving patients for testing or
treatment– Moving equipment
Inventory Characteristics:
– Pharmacy stock
– Lab supplies
– Specimens waiting analysis
– Paperwork in processDefinition:
– Any unnecessary supplies or materials that do not support just in time delivery
Motion
Definition:
– Any movement of people which does not add value to the product
Characteristics:– Searching for meds
– Searching for patients
– Reaching for charts
– Handling paperwork
Extra Processing
Definition:– Unnecessary
process steps
Characteristics:
– Multiple bed moves
– Excessive paperwork
– Unnecessary procedures
– Multiple testing
– Scrap
Exercise: Identify eight wastes in your work
Systematic, Repeatable Improvement Approach
• The PDSA cycle is shorthand for testing a change by:1. Developing a plan to test the change
(Plan),
2. Carrying out the test (Do),
3. Observing and learning from the consequences (Study),
4. And determining what modifications should be made to the test (Act).
What Is A3?
A3 is 16.5 x 11.7 inches
A3 PDSA - Problem Solving/Teaching Tool
• Executed on A3 size (11 x17) paper
• 9 steps (boxes) that make problem solving visual
• Fast, effective consensus building
• An “artifact” that tells the change story

How to Achieve A3 Thinking
• Process is as inclusive as possible– Hand drawn– Pictures and text
• Work step-by-step – Work with consensus– Distill thoughts to fit each box – Capture the essence – Tell the story without “interpretation”
Where does it apply?
• A3’s work for all types of activities– Personal development– Sharing ideas/proposing change– Problem solving/decision making– Strategic planning – Should become the default way of
making improvements

• What are the stop What are the stop and start “fence and start “fence posts”?posts”?
• PP-D-S-A-D-S-A
Reason for Action:
The insurance payment posting process is inefficient and is costing us more to do.
In Scope: The process begins with submissions of insurance claims to payers and ends with the accurate posting of these payments in the billing system.
Out of Scope: The process does not include the patient statement process or Collection Agency process.
Trigger: Submissions of insurance claims to payers
Done: The accurate posting of these payments in the billing system

Initial State
People: I am clear about my role and the roles of others in my department. 2.5 (scale 1–5)
Quality and Safety:
MD - “At the start of the visit I had all information needed to provide care. 2 (scale 1-5)
MA – “I had the information needed to assist patient at check out.” 60% (0-100%)
Cost: Call cost per encounter (based on June encounters & phone stats). 2.67 calls/encounter @ $4.21 per call = $11.24 cost/encounter.
Service: Average speed of answer 187 sec.
Growth : Market share in primary service area based on last 2 quarters is 18.5%
