  9. Process Flow Mapping

  10. Began our PDSA (Plan, Do, Study, Act) • PLAN: • Team identified the need to focus on communication between UW OTD and Theda Clark staff • We collected data on five actual donors (March 2012-May 2012) • Goals and Targets established • Have zero occurrences of lost donors post-consent. • Have one process established for flow of information from Theda Clark to UW OTD and UW OTD to Theda Clark. • Reliable and consistent two-way communication during case progression of the donation process post-consent to recovery. • No unnecessary delays in donation process due to communication issues.

  11. Developed Our Problem Statement • During 18/18 organ donation cases for 2011, varied and inconsistent communication occurred between Theda Clark and UW OTD during the post-consent to recovery phase of the donation process. This lead to staff dissatisfaction, frustration, and additional work. Additionally, 1/18 organ donation cases was lost post-consent.

  12. What We Started to Work On • Created and implemented standard work for: • Lab Management • Additional Testing • UW OTD to OR Communication • Phone Communication with OPC • DCD Pre-Huddle to OR Recovery • Family Refusal with a First Person Authorization • Created and implemented organ donation checklist and OPC contact list

  13. What is Standard Work • Standard Work is the Foundation for Continuous Daily Improvement • Defines Who, What, When, Where, How and Why • The Current Best and Safest Way • A Visible Tool for: • Training • Coaching • Auditing • Identifying Opportunities for Improvement • Fosters Employee Engagement • Reduces Variation and Eliminates Waste

  14. This is How We Do it at ThedaCare

  15. Communication with OR During OPO Case-Standard Work Examples

  16. Reflections Since Starting Our Journey…What Has Forward Focus Taught Us. • Increased teamwork within departments and cross departmental • Work has brought donation to the forefront of people’s minds • Increased communication and working relationships with UW OTD and OPCs • After action reviews have occurred with increased participation • Rapid recovery was possible and we were successful with a donor on 1/28/2013 • We and the team understand and have more influence on the processes of organ donation

  17. How Will We Continue Our Journey…. • Donation committee meetings every other month with additional time allocated to discuss Forward Focus work • Continue after action reviews with all donors • Increased interdepartmental participation with all donation work • Continue to attend offered learning sessions
