Hinweis der Redaktion
- Introduce Tiffany – A “star” – Introduce Sallie – Some things haven’t changed in healthcare. Good leaders in healthcare have always invested in others. Back in the 1970’s when I first began in healthcare . . . Knew nothing at all about the function of a physician’s office from any viewpoint except a patient – my obstetrician was needing help in his office.
- WHAT DO WE WANT TO TRY TO ACCOMPLISH TODAY? I am not an expert. I certainly do NOT have all the answers. I am experienced in just about every role in physician’s office. I am passionate about finding answers – workable solutions. SO BEFORE WE CAN FIND SOLUTIONS, WE HAVE TO ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
- The Right Questions – My first question is “WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO TAKE AWAY FROM THIS MEETING TODAY?”
- Whose reality are operating with? Office closed for lunch. Mail still being put on doctor’s desk.
- DEFINE REALITY Pros and Cons of Benchmarking It is a good starting place See “Key Indicators” – some formulas to get you started if this is new to you.
- Cost of locating a missing chart or pulling the wrong chart for a doctor
- Basic Terms of Operations Management
- It would be different if we could obtain reimbursement for looking for that lab result that the nurse “just saw a minute ago.” What if physicians were paid for authorizing refills so that the patient could obtain their prescription at a “better” price.
- Goal is to reduce cost per procedure. Fixed costs cannot be altered. The largest percentage of variable costs (non physician comp) is staff comp and benefits. Need to increase volume. Sometimes it is easy – office closed during lunch because they always have.
- Staffing as a function of Productivity – Revenue – Expenses - Profit
- Refer to Benchmarking in Handouts Direct correlation between this data and the most valuable resource in our office (or in the case of a surgeon – keeping him/her OUT of the office and IN OR)
- Pre-visit functions – test results, Rx, chart prep, correspondence and forms
- A king had a boulder placed on the roadway and hid himself to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear but noone did anything to clear the path. A peasant came by carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approach the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and began to work diligently to move the boulder. After working for some time, he finally succeeded. As he turned to pick up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying on the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. Many never learn that EVERY OBSTACLE PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE OUR LIFE. Maybe there are boulders you are walking around. Now we are not the king. And we don’t put boulders in the path. But there are many roadblocks to efficiency. Blessed be the employee that takes the initiative to convince us that something needs to change. Most will not . . . Therefore we must put the cookies on the lower shelf.
- Article in your handouts Re-engineering starts with you asking questions and seeing “reality” from the eyes of your staff, your patients, etc. Photo mapping Are you telling your receptionist to copy every insurance card and making her stand up to make the copy? Wireless telephone headset because of observation. The other day at doctor’s office
- Tell story about Dad who was talking with daughter about college. Five years? That’s fine, honey, Dad will pay for the first four. Put it in terms they can understand and relate to. Woodcock recommends having approved abbreviations lists – not just the obvious bid, q d, etc. but what about office terms. Also have a list of initials of everyone in your office. Recently I was working on some appointment stats and did not remember the initials of an employee. Had to ask. We’re talking about increasing efficiency. What questions do you, your staff, your physicians have to ask or look for answers to frequently? Make it easy for them. Put the cookies on the lower shelf so the most vertically challenged can reach them. A couple years ago the nurses were continuously complaining about their overloaded nurse’s schedule when they were short staffed. Template? Tell the front office where you want them to be scheduled. Make boundaries for others to help them know how to do what you want them to do.
- My experience at the doctor’s office the other day. Friend recently related how they were looking for another internist because of customer service. Taking Mom and Dad with her.
- NO PROCESS STANDS ALONE. THERE ARE ASSUMPTIONS HELD AS REALITY BY EVERY PERSON THAT INTERACTS WITH YOUR OFFICE – THE PATIENT, THE PHYSICIAN AND EVERYONE IN BETWEEN. So I’m a foreman walking through a plant with a friend who is a systems thinker. I see a pool of oil on the floor and do what I always do – grab the nearest member of the assembly crew and say “Hey! There’s oil on the floor
- WHAT DO WE WANT TO TRY TO ACCOMPLISH TODAY? I am not an expert. I certainly do NOT have all the answers. I am experienced in just about every role in physician’s office. I am passionate about finding answers – workable solutions. SO BEFORE WE CAN FIND SOLUTIONS, WE HAVE TO ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
