Leading Change and Avoiding Drift Focus on PDSA/PDCA
Making Change Happen
Critical thinking about the current system – flow chart the current system
Benchmarking – reach out to higher performers
Take the patient’s perspective – shed a different light on things that need to change
Using technology – bar code medications or hard stops in EHR
Creative thinking – think outside the box
Using change concepts (listed on the next slide)
Category Change Concept Questions to Ask
1) Eliminate Waste Eliminate things that are not used
Can you think of an activity or resource that doesn’t add value?
2) Improve Work Flow Find and remove bottlenecks
Is there some aspect of your processes where the work doesn’t happen as smoothly as it should?
3) Optimize Inventory Match inventory to predicted demand
Do you have too much or too little of the items you use or provide? Is your work held up because items are poorly organized or not available?
4) Change the Work Take care of basics Changing the work environment itself can make all other process changes more effective. Does the culture resist or embrace new ideas?
5) Producer/Customer Interface
Focus on the outcome What are the needs of the people you serve? Do they understand the value of your services? Do they have ideas for ways you can improve?
6) Manage Time Do tasks in parallel Can you cut down on the time it takes to do anything in the organization – whether it’s waiting times or the time to develop a new idea or project?
7) Focus on Variation Standardization (create a formal process)
What aspects of your systems vary and make your outcomes unpredictable?
8) Focus on Error Proofing Use reminders Can you make it harder for people in your system to make mistakes? For instance, can you make the information necessary to perform a task available in, say, a checklist – rather than in one’s memory?
9) Focus on the Product or Service
Listen to customers Is the service or product you provide a good one? Can it be better?
Observe the cycle in the OHNO CIRCLE

Pick your organization’s Top 3 Focus Areas
Compare baseline rates to current rates

Go to the GEMBA
Spend some time in the OHNO circle
Model for Improvement & PDSA
“To help people”
Provide health with care
Safe
Effective
Patient-centered
Timely
Efficient
Equitable
Pre-PDSA First Step - AIM
IDENTIFY:
What are we trying to accomplish?
What do we need/want to improve, and why?
Numbers increasing/decreasing
Survey focus
New quality measure
What to measure?
Relevant—really relates to the process
Meaningful—measure whole or part, timing
Available—use information that you can access with reasonable ease
Pre-PDSA Second Step – Measuring and Data
Identify if change in an improvement will maintain the efficient use of resources
Do you have favorable results without using more resources than necessary?
Is use of the resource helping?
Ensure that patients get evidence-based care
Work toward an HRO structure
Reduce variations in treatment
Understand the relationship between interventions and outcomes
Additional Benefits of Measurement
Measuring abstracts concepts such as “good” care
Communicate leadership goals to staff in clear terms that promote improved accountability from staff
Identify problems/evaluate solutions
Establish objective guidelines for delivery of care
Improve ability to comply with quality measures for value-based reimbursement
Pre-PDSA: Third Step – Making a Change
Now What?
What to do with what you measure
What do your initial numbers tell you?
How can you change practice to move the numbers?
How will you know what made the numbers change?
You know your baseline and have a theory….

Achieving sustainability requires planning on the front end
Make your process standard work
PDSA
Step 1: Plan Plan the test or observation, including a plan for collecting
data. State the objective of the test.
State the questions you want to answer and make predictions about what will happen and why.
Develop a plan to test the change. (Who? What? When? Where?)
What data will need to be collected?
17
PDSA
Step 2: Do Try out the test on a small scale.
Carry out the test.
Document problems and unexpected observations.
Begin analysis of the data.
18
19
Problem Solving
Display Clear
Acknowledge
PDSA
Step 3: Study Set aside time to analyze the data and study the results.
Complete the analysis of the data.
Compare the data to your predictions.
Summarize and reflect on what was learned.
20
PDSA
21
Step 4: Act Refine the change, based on what was learned from the test.
Determine what modifications should be made.
Prepare a plan for the next PDSA.
PDSA is an acknowledgment of failure,
but a victory in learning
Tips for testing changes
Have a C-Suite Champion
Stay a cycle ahead
Scale down the scope of tests
Pick willing volunteers
Avoid the need for consensus, buy-in, or political solutions
Don’t reinvent the wheel
Pick easy changes to try
Debrief on the results of every change
Drift
What is drift and why does it happen?
How do you know when you’re drifting?
Situational Awareness
DRIFT
Safety Across the Board
Design Levels for Reliability
Level One Intent, vigilance and hard work
• Common equipment (and other structural standardization)
• Standard orders sheets
• Personal check lists
• Feedback of information on compliance
• Awareness and training
Level Two Design informed by reliability science and research in human factors
• Design Concepts
• Standardization of processes
• Building decision aids and reminders into the system
• Taking advantage of existing habits and patterns
• Making the desired action the default (based on evidence)
• Creating redundancy
• Scheduling using proper operations theory
Level Three Design of integrated systems and high reliability organizations
• Sophisticated design of human interactions and working relationships
• Weick’s Attributes
• Preoccupation with failure (Prevent)
• Sensitivity to operations (Prevent)
• Reluctance to simplify interpretations (Identify)
• Deference to expertise (Identify/Mitigate)
• Commitment to resilience (Mitigate)
People Support Systems
Engage staff at all levels
Leadership support is crucial
Middle management support is the most crucial
Map out how the process improves efficiency, safety, benefits to patients and/or staff
Self Reinforcing
Publicize successes to promote pride in accomplishment
Spend purposeful time with staff – leaders at every level
Recognize early adopters at both the individual and team level. Promote the spread of adoption by sharing stories of success
Wall of fame
Award ceremonies
Learn from successes and failures. Don’t be afraid to be wrong
Once standard work has been established create and communicate ground rules to speak up when challenges are encountered
Assign high value to those who report errors/near misses
