34. “Collaboration” – What does it mean? “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” – Henry Ford. “Teamwork divides the task and multiplies the success.” - Unknown “Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision; the ability to direct individual accomplishment toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.” – Andrew Carnegie

41. Unique Strategy for Sustained Organizational Change Combining Lean and Positive Deviance Lean from manufacturing Major QI Approach in Healthcare Positive Deviance (PD) Experts within organization Opportunity to learn & innovate- Challenges and synergies

43. Technique to engage front line staff in owning & improving processes and sustaining change
54. Discovery & Action Dialogues Seven facilitators trained in the first month Jumped in the deep water with 20 minutes of training
55. Transmission Disaster Response Teams Transmission Disaster Response Teams D&ADs dialogues and leader rounds linked with specific transmission cases to build collective mindfulness within and across units.
56. Sharing Results Community briefing Making sense of maps on the units Clinical leaders Admin leaders Where am I? Is our network smarter than MRSA?
57. Social Network Mapping + Culture Survey Dreaming up & researching questions Social networking software Creating a “family of measures”
58. Social Network Analysis Reveals communicative patterns of complex groups and teams Identifies the strength and frequency of connections (e.g., with whom and how often do you communicate about reducing MRSA) Describes current network in general & MRSA Bundle implementation in particular
59. Whom would you like to include or see involved in future MRSA prevention work?
60. Organizational Benefits of Change Staff developed skills and processes Documented, standardized processes Isolation signs and chart stickers Documented protocols for Active Surveillance & Prevention Patient, family and staff education materials and methods
61. Partnering in Data Collection, Analysis, Reporting Document impact in standardized language Characterize efforts and strategies that work and disseminate nationally Engagement of teams & coaches planning and conducting Dissemination strategies- capturing stories, social networks, engagement, outcomes
62. Document ROI Impact Reduction in MRSA isolates in an ICU Literature Cost Savings (per Infection): $ 6,916 - $35,000 Active Surveillance & Precautions Cost: Max $ 610 per infected patient (10%) Methods challenging Working with teams (& CFOs) to capture these data in meaningful way Source: The Impact of Methicillin Resistance in Staphylococcus AureusBacteremia on Patient Outcomes: Mortality, Length of Stay, and Hospital Charges, Cosgrove, et al, February 2003
71. • “Collaboration” – What does it mean? “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller “Strength is derived from unity. The range of our collective vision is far greater when individual insights become one.” – Andrew Carnegie “Collaboration equals innovation.” - Michael Dell
Collaborative unique nationally as an opportunity to learn from electronically and culturally interconnected system of hospitals (INPC) and international consortiumReduced rates of up to 60-85% in Pittsburgh VA, RWJ Sites, and our phase 1 using similar methods
Site 3 had a tool focused on coordination of care between primary and specialty careSite 2 had much on paper-electronic blend—had greatest use of paperSite 4 (PH) had more comments about functionality—was that related to positive or negative comments—comparable in advanced IT development to VA, but smaller system—huge IT research dept colocated with themUsability comments comparable across the sites similar even though very different systems—most were negativeLowest site on usability (RI) had templates, fewest negative commetns on usability probably related to using less for their jobRigidity—computer system, electronic medical record—forced you to do things, computer systemSite 1 and 3 had highest comments about rigidity (VA’s) and centrally controlled development strategyCoordination between specialty and primary care—tool developed as joint effort between primary and specialty care to foster scheduling, intake and provider and specialty and provider. Here coordination between intake and provider removed.Make a list of interpretations—do this again after we create figure from card sort and recommendations.
Combining Lean Techniques (Lean) and Positive Deviance (PD) strategiesLean historically used in manufacturing industry, but increasingly used with much success in healthcarePositive Deviance (PD) recognizes that the experts are within an organization Opportunity to learn- challenges and synergies in combining approaches
Reveals communicative patterns of complex groups and teams Identifies the strength and frequency of the connections between members (e.g., with whom and how often do you communicate about reducing MRSA)Describes the current social network for work in general and the MRSA Bundle implementation in particular
Future, All
Reduction in MRSA isolates in an ICU Literature Cost Savings (avoidance) per Infection: $ 6,916.00 - $35,000Active Surveillance Cost & Precautions max 10% of infection cost at $ 610 per patientMethods challengingWe want to work with you (and CFOs) in capturing these data in meaningful way informed by your institutional perspectives
