  1. Productive General Practice

  2. Aim • Introduce the Lean context for Productive General Practice and describe PGP’s structure and content • Explain how it will support you in Delivering Quality in Primary Care • Describe how it’s being used and some examples of the benefits it offers from the Walmer Practice

  3. Productive General Practice uses Lean Principles • Specify what does & does not add value – from the patient’s perspective. • Identify steps necessary to design, order and produce across the whole value stream. • Make those actions flow without interruption, detours, waiting or rework. • Only make what is pulled by the patient. • Strive for perfection by continually improving & removing wastes as they are uncovered.

  4. Why is it relevant? • Lean is a systematic approach to reducing waste through a process of continuous improvement • Waste is anything other than the minimum amount of Practice equipment, materials, space and time which are essential to add value to the patient or service. • A Lean ‘Goal’ is to supply a product or service to the patient’s demand with 100% quality • Making the right thing easier to do – for every person, every time

  5. The benefits it offers…Stanley Medical Group, County Durham • Reviewed their recall system for patients needing routine drug monitoring • Applied lean principles to understand the current process and design an improved process • Existing system lead to inconsistencies, waste and patient safety risk • Results: • Patient Safety (faster lead time and higher degree of accuracy) • Time (35 hours/month to 0.53 hours/week) • Patient experience (increased HCA patient facing time) • Money (£4150/year) Stanley Medical Group, County Durham “Streamlining this process has saved us time but the real benefit has been that we have improved patient safety and the patient experience, as we are now able to offer more appropriate appointments” Sue Elsbury, Practice Manager Source: Iain Smith, Corporate Improvement Team, North East Transformation System

  6. The benefits it offers.. William Brown Centre, Peterlee • Practice nurse team applied 5S, a fundamental lean tool to their working environment • Impact • Reduction in inventory • Reduction in interruptions to consultations • Improved efficiency (e.g. staff walking distances reduced from 174 steps/ patient cycle to 18 steps/ patient cycle “By using simple tools to make simple changes you can made a lot of difference and I would recommend it to anyone thinking of using this approach” Dr Russell, GP Source: Iain Smith, Corporate Improvement Team, North East Transformation System
