Aim Statement • ACCESS IMPROVEMENT: • Ultimate goal of increasing patient visits • Route to improvement is through streamlining/shortening the patient visit • AIM STATEMENT: “ For primary care patients, decrease total patient time at clinic visits (including registration, clinician time, immunizations, and labs) to <90 minutes per patient by January 1, 2012.”
Changes tested or implemented this Quarter • PDSA summary and learning points • Huddles need more clinician buy in and MEA supervision/training leadership change/clearer messaging • MEA checklist not completed by MEAs/not valued by clinicians despite group consensus on implementation more training and supervision for MEAS, clearer expectations for clinicians and MEAs • Staff satisfaction survey staff generally happy but different sense of purpose than clinicians work on teambuilding repeat survey in June 2011 • QI training team workshop QI projects for MEAs, refined clinic-wide QI plan (SFHP PIP in summer 2011) REAL TIME CHANGES ON A DAILY BASIS IN THE CHC!
Data MEAs enter PCP at registration
Challenges • Morale and buy-in • Role clarification • Lack of leadership skills within primary care nursing team • Lack of larger vision • “It’s just more work for us.” • “That’s not my job.” • Resistance to change • “That’s not my job.” • Data • Measures difficult to determine • Collection • Where is it? How do we do it? • Analysis • Time
Action Plan • Sustainable data collection • Measuring cycle time for all primary care • No show rates • Monitoring performance of MEA team in patient assessments • i2i and IT services for ongoing measurement • Improve morale and buy-in • Customer service training • Create photo board for all staff • Incentives for improved performance • Examples of successful implementation (visits to other model clinics) • Repeat satisfaction survey • Longer term “access”-related goals • Revise provider appointment templates • Revise immunization forms • Decrease no-show rates
