Certified Lean Leader
For IHI Patient Safety ExecutiveDevelopment Course, September, 2012
This presenter has nothing to disclose.
“What Was I Thinking??!!”
Session Goals
• So now you are a Patient Safety executive / CMO / officer / manager…some ideas to:1. Get started – the 100 day plan2. Obtain buy-in3. Set priorities4. Organize and resource the work5. Communicate results6. Sustain the momentum, for the long-
haulPlus: Developing your “personal power” so people will follow your lead

It really is a journey
• Start where you are• There’s no one “best way”• Take the ideas you like, store the rest• It takes years…
1. 100 Day Plan
• Diving off the platform with:– What you came here with (your
experience, organizational history)
– This course under your belt (great!)
– Your plan/priorities outlined (key)
– And your Senior Leader buy-in (or plan to get that if they aren’t here)
8/27/2012
3
Keys to a 100 Day Plan
• Meet (re-meet) with key influencers and interview them about what they care about (take your IHI PSE homework and expand)– Executives, directors/managers, physician leaders,
front-line staff– Share your starting thoughts/Plan from this week– Don’t forget to meet with your direct reports too– Why?
• Initiate relationships, establish your role• Expand your perspectives• Learn the history (we tried that, it worked, didn’t work)• Understand your own biases (and adjust)
Keys to a 100 Day Plan
• Review current metrics/data Harm
Look at the forest firstTrigger tool review
Mortality2x2 analysis (last 50 deaths)
How displayed, and is it compelling?
Validate or tweak plan your PSO/E Plan prn(as needed) for the input received
8/27/2012

Keys to a 100 Day Plan
• Schedule sessions with your senior leader/mentor to report out
• Tackle some low-hanging fruit– Easy/early win(s), with visible impact– Could be:
• Educational session to relevant audience• Solving some problem that’s been hanging out there
(WOW)• Providing data in a meaningful way• Creating or strengthening an oversight team• Or your good idea goes here…
2. Obtaining buy-in
• Create the compelling vision with the broader community– Gaining the attention of a
focused audience– Make it “uncomfortable”,
create stretch
• Linking to strategy
8/27/2012
5
Getting the team onto one page• Ideas
– Start with your 100-day plan interviews
– Present findings to leadership
– Convene a “touchstone event”
• Pull in a big name if you can get the $
– Linking to your strategic plan (or department plan)
Concept: Aiming High, Aiming Wide

3. Setting priorities
• Understanding what’s important– Preventable mortality and harm
• Not taking on world health all at once– Create focus on the “vital few”
• Establishing bold targets
Concept: The Art of Selecting Targets• You want to create stretch
– Getting to transformation vs. improvement– “Better than average” or truly benchmark?– Thoughts on “Perfect Care” at the patient level– Going for Zero harm (“Zero Zone”)
• Having said that, start where your team can support, and evolve
8/27/2012
7
4. Organize and resource the work• Understand and work with
what you have– Organizational structures– Evolving as makes sense– Finding champions
• Learning from others• Leveraging “Reliability
Theory”
Concept: Use of IHI Reliability Theory
Chaos<80%
Tier 180-94.9% (X/10)
Tier 295-98.9% (xx/100)
Tier 399-99.9% (xxx/1000)
Flip of a coin; no design has stuck
Prevent initial failure Identify & mitigate failures
Redesign
• Reminder systems–Common equipment, standard orders sheets– Personal check lists
• Working harder next time• Feedback of information on compliance• Awareness and training
• Decision aids and reminders built into the system• Desired action the default (based on evidence)• Redundancy• Scheduling-takes advantage of habits and patterns• Standardization of process
• Failure Mode redesign only if articulated goal not reached
–Tackle one failure mode at a time–Relationships are mutually supportive
• Default care

Incorporation of Five “Kata” Coaching Questions
• Coaching Kata – behavior or pattern 1. What is the target condition?2. What is the actual condition now?3. What obstacles are preventing you from reaching
the target condition?• Which are you addressing now?• Who out there is doing it better?• What toolkits already exist?• What could work here?
Incorporation of Five “Kata” Coaching Questions
4. What is your next step?• What could work here?• Who will champion this?• Who should be on the team to work out the details?• What tests of change can we do where, in order to test
our theories next Tuesday?• How to launch, educate, monitor and provide feedback?
5. When can we go and see what we have learned from taking that step?

5. Communicate results
• Designing – What to share with Boards– How to engage your audiences
Concept: Better OutcomesAssociated with Hospitals where . . .
• The board spends more than 25% of its time on quality issues– The board receives a formal quality performance
measurement report– There is a high level of interaction between the
board and the medical staff on quality strategy– Hospital governing boards that have a single
committee that focuses exclusively or primarily on quality were found to be more likely to adopt various oversight practices and to have better clinical outcomes
Vaughn T, Koepke M, Kroch et. al. 2006Jiang, Lockee, Bass, Fraser. 2008
8/27/2012
10
Considerations
• Thoughts on what to share– Create focus (link to goals)– Show both successes and opportunities for
improvement– Rates OK but share the #s– The power of stories– Education on what this means– Pros/cons of different types of display (World Café
topic)
Concept: Bringing Patients and Families in to the room
• Storytelling• Imagine if it
was your mother, brother, grandfather, friend…
8/27/2012
11
Concept: PI Dashboard Development• What Boards and leadership
should do:– Understand and regularly oversee a
few system-level quality measures– Set specific “how good, by when”
aims for improvement of these system-level measures
• Where are we trying to get to• How will we know we got there
• Idea – Development of our “PI Radar” to:– Measure progress– Facilitate storytelling– Recognize success and opportunities
for further improvement
6. Building Momentum for the Long Haul• Back to that journey…• Adding in focus on
cultural evolution and tools
• Keep it consistent, and keep it fresh
• Growing your personal power inventory
8/27/2012
12
Concept: Culture & Tools
• Every year, reevaluate Bold Goals, plus work to round out supporting activities, examples:– Share sentinel event experience, gap closure– Re-focus on Just Culture (use of AHRQ survey)– Crisis management toolkit– Leveraging the EMR – hardwiring in Best Practices– Build of on-line dash-boarding
• Growing expertise in Lean, and the linkage to quality and safety, Visibility Boards
• Built in incentives for executives• The power of “touchstone events”, revisited
Concept: Leveraging “Value Based Purchasing”
8/27/2012
13
A few words on Personal Power• As a patient safety
executive, officer, manager – get an honest inventory your strengths, and opportunities
• Seek out resources, learning where you have opportunities

Ex 4b-4: Building will, ideas and execution to take it even further
• This year leadership added reduction of CAUTI (catheter associated urinary tract infections) to our Bold Goals
• Staff nurse team came up with “NOCAUTI” campaign
• Tested and refined– One unit -> – To all hospital units
(critical care, med surg) ->
– To all medical centersInsertion:No germs (aseptic insertion, hand hygiene)Only when medically necessary (per criteria, documented, DC’d in ED/PACU unless order to continue)Maintenance:Clean (hand hygiene before and after care)Attach (catheter secured)Urine management (specimens from sample port only, placement of drainage bag below bladder, no kinks, emptied regularly, spigot kept clear of floor or graduated cylinder)Tidy (pericare wipes documented, absorbent pads, weighed for I&O)If no longer needed, removed (daily review)
All CAUTIs
Ex 5a: Evolving Capacity to Lead• Boards – we took stock of oversight capacity
in 2006
– Our Boards needed MUCH more education• Leadership Summit – identified gaps• Board study sessions, just in time• Patient stories and experiences• Glossaries and lay language• Sending to conferences (IHI’s Boards on Board)
– Board time on quality was low though increasing• Placing first on agenda
– System-wide sharing and oversight had started but opportunity to increase transparency/sharing

Wrap-up: Helen’s “Top 10” Take-Away Ideas• These ideas worked for us, what will work for you?
1. Create and map “Bold Goal’ level quality aims right into your strategic plan. Select from Big Dots and Key Drivers.
2. Create time to discuss quality at all Board, senior leader, management and staff meetings.
3. Utilize patient stories, and involve patients and family members on committees
4. Involve physicians in a meaningful role to oversee, participate and champion the quality strategy.
5. “Plot your dots” (data over time), and include the raw # of patients harmed (not only the rate of harm). Raw #s are much more personal
8/27/2012

Wrap-up: Helen’s “Top 10” Take-Away Ideas• These ideas worked for us, what will work for you?
6. Harness the promise of Lean Thinking – focusing on bedside caregiver redesign to maximize “value-added” (vs. adding more steps/complexity)
7. If you have an EMR (and everyone will at some point), hardwire in best practices to make it easier for clinicians to do the right thing
8. Create a quality dashboard system that moves beyond tables or graphs, to a report that facilitates telling “the rest of the story”
9. Realize it takes years. But/and a plan or roadmap with strategic linkages will guide the journey and help tackle challenges in an order that makes sense to the culture of the organization
10.And finally, maximize your personal power
