2. <ul><li>Workflow Redesign and Clinical Transformation </li></ul><ul><li>Ed Stern, RN </li></ul><ul><li>Hospital workflow redesign initiatives often rely on project management methodologies without </li></ul><ul><li>considering the unique aspects of health care. Maintaining clinically relevant electronic </li></ul><ul><li>tools and content, and streamlining workflow to reflect core measures, regulatory mandates, </li></ul><ul><li>clinical practice guidelines, evidenced-based practice, and hospital strategic direction can pave </li></ul><ul><li>the way to a more successful result. A key component of this process is developing a methodology </li></ul><ul><li>to combine work redesign with clinical transformation. This presentation will present </li></ul><ul><li>concepts and strategies to assist health care informaticists with clinical redesign and clinical </li></ul><ul><li>transformation. </li></ul>Copyright 2007 Available online at www.nothingbetter.com/tepr2007

7. Public Perception Workflow Forgotten <ul><li>… and last summer, with his staff of three, he switched everything over to the new system. Patient information was entered on a screen instead of on a form attached to a clipboard; Saleh took notes and made orders using a sleek black tablet PC. </li></ul><ul><li>Within days, the office was in meltdown. Patients piled up in the waiting room, and Saleh all but lost control of his day-to-day work. Delays grew so bad, Saleh installed a TV to distract patients, and Cerner Corp., the company supplying his software, trundled in refreshments as a goodwill gesture. "I was running an hour-and-a-half or two-hours late," says Saleh. "That's the kiss of death for your practice. It was crazy. </li></ul><ul><li>A few months later, Saleh shows off his file rooms, filled floor to ceiling with paper charts. "No paper has been added to these since summer," he says proudly. </li></ul>Copyright 2007 Available online at www.nothingbetter.com/tepr2007 “ Record Time” – April ‘06

8. “ It’s Workflows’ Fault” <ul><li>Workflow is often a common “fault” area in the implementation of a technology. </li></ul><ul><li>The problem is that it is rarely ‘the’ workflow and more probably; that the wrong flow assessment, or not enough operations and systems workflows were considered. </li></ul>Copyright 2007 Available online at www.nothingbetter.com/tepr2007

12. Workflow Defined <ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><li>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia </li></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul><ul><li>Workflow (WF) at its simplest is the movement of documents and/or tasks through a work process. More specifically, workflow is the operational aspect of a work procedure: how task are structured, who performs them, what their relative order is, how they are synchronized, how information flows to support the tasks and how tasks are being tracked. As the dimension of time is considered in Workflow, Workflow considers “throughput” as a distinct measure . </li></ul>Copyright 2007 Available online at www.nothingbetter.com/tepr2007

13. Clinical Assessment Defined <ul><li>How would you define a Clinical Nursing Assessment? </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Essentially an assessment looks at many different body systems from a nursing care approach </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>The unique focus of a nursing assessment is on the responses to actual or potential problems. </li></ul></ul>Copyright 2007 Available online at www.nothingbetter.com/tepr2007

14. What is Clinical Informatics Assessment ? <ul><li>Simply stated, Clinical Informatics Assessment (CIA) is the process in which the clinical operation if broken down into fine step by step elements using an informatics work flow approach while remembering the clinical fundamentals </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Think of it as a “pulse check” for the workflow process </li></ul></ul>Copyright 2007 Available online at www.nothingbetter.com/tepr2007

15. More on Clinical Informatics Assessment <ul><li>The focus is on clinical operations and how other business and systems elements interact with the clinical patient care environment </li></ul><ul><li>Systems Operations + Clinical/Business Operations = Potential Software Product and Project Effectiveness? </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Consider how end-user usability plays into the product </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>The net result is a focus on assuring quality patient care while assuring efficient use of clinical informatics solutions. </li></ul></ul>Copyright 2007 Available online at www.nothingbetter.com/tepr2007

16. Factors to consider when building your CIA plan <ul><li>It’s a Business Process but the Patient Comes First ! </li></ul><ul><li>ROI is a relative factor in the business model, so consider hard and soft ROIs to prove your point </li></ul><ul><li>The depth of the process is relative to the complexity of the project </li></ul><ul><li>Marketing concepts apply too… Your patient is your client, the provider may be your client, and who else is your client… </li></ul>Copyright 2007 Available online at www.nothingbetter.com/tepr2007

17. When & How Can CIA Be Applied <ul><li>Apply the concept any time clinical aspects need to be considered in a business model </li></ul><ul><li>Working very closely with the “IT side” of the process. </li></ul><ul><li>Be the link between the IT and business process </li></ul><ul><ul><li>The clinical link, which is (or should be) the focus of all medical processes </li></ul></ul>Copyright 2007 Available online at www.nothingbetter.com/tepr2007

18. Who benefits from CIA <ul><li>The Patient! </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Clinical needs are considered throughout the process </li></ul></ul><ul><li>The Business </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Business process and ROI is considered </li></ul></ul><ul><li>The Clinical Realm </li></ul><ul><ul><li>The needs for the clinical providers is recognized and built into the IT processes, as opposed to the clinical world having to “adapt” to the IT product. </li></ul></ul>Copyright 2007 Available online at www.nothingbetter.com/tepr2007

30. “ Current State” <ul><li>The exercise we just went through was a “current state” definition process </li></ul><ul><li>We defined the current operational state for a process… “boiling water to fill a cup” </li></ul><ul><li>The typical next step is “future state” </li></ul><ul><ul><li>I disagree </li></ul></ul>Copyright 2007 Available online at www.nothingbetter.com/tepr2007

31. What’s Original State <ul><li>You’ll note that in the earlier “boiling water” exercise we didn’t consult any policy manual or printed instruction. </li></ul><ul><li>We all know that the way something was “originally intended” to work as been modified by those doing the task. Sometimes that modification is dramatic. </li></ul><ul><li>Original State: is going back to the “stone age” of process </li></ul><ul><ul><li>The way it was originally intended to be done </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><ul><li>e.g. Boiling water with fire! </li></ul></ul></ul>Copyright 2007 Available online at www.nothingbetter.com/tepr2007

32. Original State Integration Decisions <ul><li>Review the original policy manual </li></ul><ul><li>Determine how far from the documented current state the original state is. </li></ul><ul><li>Decide if there is a need to change the “current state” or change the “original state” (e.g. update the policy) </li></ul><ul><ul><li>If the policy needs to be updated, you might as well wait until after the “future state” is defined </li></ul></ul><ul><li>Decide if there is a need to integrate the two </li></ul>Copyright 2007 Available online at www.nothingbetter.com/tepr2007

33. Problem, Action and Response <ul><li>Another nursing clinical action plays a role in assessing Current and Original State: Identify the Problem, Document the Required Action and Response </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Does the miss match of “original” and “current state” cause a problem for operations today and/or in your future? </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>What action do you need to take now, if any? </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>What will staff and management response be? </li></ul></ul>Copyright 2007 Available online at www.nothingbetter.com/tepr2007
