Lean Philosophy
Lean Is…
“The endless transformation
of waste into value from the
customer’s perspective”.
Womack and Jones, Lean Thinking
Lean increases product value by removing waste
and slowly driving a process towards perfection.

QS x AS = likelihood of success
Standardization must occur before
you can have innovation and
improvement
“It is impossible to improve any process until it is
standardized. If the process is shifting from here
to there than any improvement will just be one
more variation that is occasionally used and
mostly ignored. One must standardize the
process before improvements can be made.”
Masaaki Imai
The first step in improving the treatment of any
disease is standardizing its care. If the treatment
of an acute or chronic condition within our system
is variable, any effort at improvement will just be
one more variation that is occasionally used and
mostly ignored. We must standardize our care
using evidence- or consensus-based pathways
before we can improve it using discovery and
innovation.
Based on work by Masaaki Imai in the book Kaizen
Inflexibility is the greatest barrier to
successfully applying Lean in health care
and it is best overcome by Genchi

Apnea –
Monitor Standby -
Troubleshooting Tips
1.Are the BP Cuff and Sat Probe on the same arm?
2.Are the EKG leads positioned properly? Does your patient require an adjustment?
3.Has the monitor been turned on “Standby” if the patient is not in the room? Has the patient been re-connected once back in the room?

ED to Inpatient flow
Opportunity
Problem
Current State
Communication within the
nursing and physician
handoff process can be
uncoordinated and
inefficient
• Admitting patients to
Medical and Surgical
services requires a verbal
handoff of patient
information from the
Emergency Nurse and
Physician team to
Inpatient care teams
• Optimizing flow for these
handoffs is critical for the
overall flow of patients.
Barriers
Inconsistencies in current hand off practices
include:
•Content or information communicated
•Number of attempts to connect on both ends
•Duration of the process
•Physician and nurse handoffs occur in
isolation
Goal
• Decrease variation in content/quality of
information presented
• Increase patient flow by removing barriers to
communication
• Remove waste from process to create a
standardized, predictable process
• Safe patient transitions
• Staff satisfaction
ED
Dashboard
The team handoff
template created by
both in patient and ED
teams lives on the ED
Dashboard.
All providers will have
access to this new
information in addition
to the many other data
points available on the
dashboard
Labs, Radiology,
Consults etc
Template for
Team
Handoff
Created by both in
patient and ED nurses
and physicians
Identifies critical
information requested
by each team to
transition care
STOP
A verbal safety check
between the ED nurse
and MD has been put
in place to ensure the
accuracy of the
information conveyed
during the handoff.
This check is designed
to make sure the most
accurate up to date
information on the
patient and the ED
course is presented to
the inpatient teams.

Why should you care about the ICU?
Why should you care?
y Common
y Expensive
y Lethal
y Improveable
Why should you care?
Common … in the U.S. alone
y 6,000 ICUs
y 66,200 adult ICU beds
y 55,000 patients per day
y Over 5 million patients / year
{
(Think “about the size of the Greater Boston region”)
Why should you care?
Expensive… in the U.S. alone
y ~15% of acute hospital costs
y 0.7% of U.S. GDP !!!
Why should you care?
Variably Lethal
y Average 10 – 20% mortality
Outcome Variability
Poor ----------- Cost ---------> Better
Poor ------------------- Survival -------------------> Better
The first implication: Different
practices lead to different outcomes.
The next implication: Some
practices are better than others.
Why is the ICU a particularly
challenging place to do quality
improvement?

Let’s face it.
The ICU is an exciting place.
… with high-risk meds …
… lots of procedures …
… fancy monitoring devices …
… and really sick patients …
… but a lot of the most important
things we ask ICU providers to do…
…turn out to be the most boring …

Why is b

In the ICU, unexpected things happen.
Causing providers to focus too much
on regimented tasks
may mean that
we cause them to miss the unexpected.
Part 2: Another reason
Organizational Context
This can be summed up in one question:
“Who is in charge of
Critical Care at your
hospital?”
Department of Medicine
(Chair)
Medical Center
(Board of Directors, CEO, etc.)
Nursing
Residency (163)
Pulmonary/Critical Care
Health Care Quality
Cardiology
Information Systems
etc.
Materials management
Pharmacy
Respiratory Therapy
etc.
Department of Anesthesia
(Chair)
Department of Surgery
(Chair)
Residency

Part 2: ICU staff are often transient.
Transients in the ICU
y How many days a week do our nurses work?
y How many days a week do our RTs work?
y How often do our students, interns, residents, fellows,
and attendings change rotations?

PACU Needle Safety Project Context
• Increase in the number of documented needle sticks in the PACU and
preop holding have resulted in a need for improved safety
– 8 out of 22 total sharps injuries documented in PACU due to device being
left in inappropriate areas (Occ. Health data ‘02-’08)
• Opportunity areas identified through observation and interviews
– Inappropriate placement of needles on patient bed during procedure
– No standard approach and setup for procedure and standard process for
counting needles after procedure
– Location and accessibility of needle disposal boxes
– Near misses are not known and documented
– No direct feedback to staff about needles left in inappropriate areas since it
is difficult to know who is responsible
114
PACU Needle Safety Work-Out (Jan 2009)
Objectives
• Design a set of changes to improve needle safety in the PACU & preop
holding (room setup, equipment and supplies, pre-and post-procedure
processes, and roles of staff)
• Create a process for identifying and providing immediate feedback to staff
about incidents and near misses

PACU Needle Safety Key Changes
• Creation of a “neutral zone” during the
procedure for needles not in use
• RN assistance and use of a procedure
checklist for epidural placement
• New schedule for emptying needle boxes each
day by night shift housekeeper
• Documentation and peer-to-peer
communication of near misses to staff
116
Metrics – Documentation of Near Misses
• Email is automatically sent to the leadership when a report is made
• All reports are individually reviewed and followed up by leadership
team

Bring your ideas to life
talk about process improvements, we focus on making incremental improvements that over time
e efficient and fluid process. We can achieve this through identifying and eliminating waste in ou
t processes.
see examples of waste (see chart on reverse) and have an idea to help reduce it, please comple
nd submit it to the Ideas in Motion board in the GSS kitchen.
will be reviewed at weekly Drop-In and Coffee Time/Admin Meeting. Three projects will be selec
Ideas in Motion board.
Name _____________________________
Date ______________________
Briefly describe a problem that causes waste or an example of waste: (example: clinic prep takes
up too much time)
If you have an idea or suggestion that might help reduce this example of waste, tell us here:
(example: eliminate time-consuming chart prep)
Let us know how you think your idea could be measured. (example: we could time how long it
takes to prep clinic using charts and then time clinic prep using a chartless method)
What is the expected effect or outcome from your idea? (example: save time prepping for clinic so
we can focus on other areas)

2012 Education Programs
Continuing professional education is a cornerstone of MHA’s service to its members and other healthcare professionals. The primary goal of MHA’s Center for Education and Professional Development is to support healthcare leaders in innovation and change in a complex and challenging environment. During these challenging economic times, professional development and education should not fall through the cracks. Healthcare changes rapidly and MHA will bring you programs with the latest “must know” information and best practices. As always, we continue to offer affordable rates for our members. MHA’s educational programming includes broad and visionary offerings, such as ethical and economic challenge facing healthcare leaders, the evolving relationships between hospitals and physicians, and improving the quality and safety of care. It also includes a wide variety of specific, need‐to‐know sessions on issues such as healthcare accreditation, trends in labor relations, and the status of Medicare risk products in the state. We hope you’ll join us for our upcoming conferences. Note: If your hospital belongs to your state’s hospital association we will extend the member rate to any of our events.
