Aim of Our Time Dual purposed • Support “coaches in training” • Support your early microsystem development journey • Maybe some new tools and processes will help new possibilities emerge • Experience a “tasting party” of the microsystem journey. You will try out a lot today and tomorrow to then go back to your setting and work more deeply on what you are learning.
Introductions & Why We are Here Introductions (Include coaches) You have specific improvements New possibilities may emerge from looking at your practice in a different way Name of Practice and Team Members 1 Thing that … Patients really love about our practice is drives some patients nuts is
Why We are Here Learn about our practice Improve our practice Improve our work life Studio course for Dartmouth Microsystem Improvement Curriculum You are in a “fishbowl” We have “new” coaches with invisibility cloaks on.

What is a clinical microsystem? How did this idea get started and how is it being used?
Aim Offer a clear, concise introduction to the idea and its formation Survey the use(s) of the idea Introduce some helpful resources for working with the idea
Assumptions Everyone has heard of the idea and has various notions of what it means We all have more experience living in, working in, and using them; than we have studying, changing, and leading them
Understanding Health Care as a System What society needs How we improve what we make How we create, make health care
Which system is the unit of practice, intervention, measurement, policy? Market / Geopolitical system Self-care system Macrosystem Individual care-giver & patient system Mesosystem Microsystem

Definition A health care clinical microsystem can be defined as the combination of asmall groupof people who work together on a regular basis—or as needed—to provide care and the individuals who receive that care (who can also be recognized as members of a discrete subpopulation ofpatients.) It has clinical and businessaims,linked processes,asharedinformation environment and produces services and care which can be measured as performanceoutcomes.These systems evolve over time and are (often)embedded in larger systems/organizations. As any living adaptive system, the microsystem must: (1) do the work, (2) meet staff needs, (3) maintain themselves as a clinical unit.

A “Generic” Clinical Microsystem Model Satisfaction of need, monitoring, assessment of outputs Acute care Chronic care Initial Work-up, Plan for care Entry, Assignment Orientation Preventive care Palliative care Disenrollment Beneficiary knowledge, including knowledge of life while not in direct contact with the health care system Functional Functional Biological Biological Satisfaction Expectations Costs Costs
So, why focus on the “clinical microsystem?” Basic “building block” of health care as a system Unit of clinical policy-in-use Locus of most workplace “motivators” and many “hygiene” factors Most variables relevant to patient satisfaction controlled here Where “good value” and “safe” care is made Where most health professional “formation” occurs after initial preparation It’s where everything happens with, for and to the patient and family
