2 Healthcare Quality in the United States: A Snapshot
In 2003, U.S. healthcare expenditures totaled $1.679 trillion and accounted for 15 percent of the gross domestic product (U.S. Census Bureau 2005; OECD 2005). In 2003, the United States spent more on healthcare, as measured by percentage of gross domestic product, than did any other country in the world; yet of 30 OECD countries, the United States ranked 22nd in male life expectancy at birth and 23rd in female life expectancy at birth, and 26th in infant mortality rate (OECD Health Data 2005). 55 percent of those surveyed are dissatisfied with the quality of healthcare in the United States and 40 percent responded that in the past five years quality of care has gotten worse (Kaiser Family Foundation et al. 2004). Adult Americans received 54.9 percent of recommended preventive care, acute care, and chronic care (McGlynn et al. 2003).

3 Healthcare Quality in the United States: A Snapshot
Between 44,000 and 98,000 deaths per year in the United States have been attributed to preventable medical errors, making medical errors the eighth leading cause of death—causing more deaths than motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDS (Kohn, Corrigan, and Donaldson 1999). Taking into account direct costs (e.g., healthcare costs) and indirect costs (e.g., lost income, lost productivity, and disability), preventable medical errors cost the United States between $17 billion and $29 billion a year (Kohn, Corrigan, and Donaldson 1999). In 2003, more than 45 million Americans, or 15.6 percent of the 290 million U.S. residents at the time, had no health insurance (U.S. Census Bureau 2005). In the United States, persons between the ages of 45 and 64 years with the lowest levels of education have 2.5 times the mortality rates of those with the highest levels of education, Poverty accounts for 6 percent of the nation’s mortality (McGinnis et al. 2002).

23 Simple Pareto Chart Example
From our checksheet we see that patient education… While we may have been inclined to think something else was the major cause, the Pareto chart helps to focus our attention on designing an improvement intervention that will have the most leverage to improve results – that is “the most bang for the buck”

28 Instructor’s Manual Chapter 4: A Systems Perspective of Quality Management

29 Systems thinking… “…is a discipline for seeing wholes. It is a framework for seeing interrelationships, rather than things, for seeing patterns of change rather than static ‘snapshots’.” --Peter Senge in The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization New York: Doubleday Currency.

36 Open Feedback System Inputs Conversion Process Outputs Feedback 13

37 Quality Management as an Open Feedback System

38 Quality Management in Healthcare
Inputs Conversion Process Outputs Medical Personnel Licensure Continuing education Performance reviews Technology Clinical trials Governmental bodies Standards Facilities and Structures Inspections Standards and guidelines Health Technology Assessment Practice guidelines Process improvement Work simplification Policy (immunizations) Tracking and Monitoring Outcome Measures Individual, organizational, state, national Health status Business status This slide describes approaches used to improve the quality of inputs; approaches used to improve the quality of the conversion processes; and approaches used to improve the ability to measure and track the outputs to improve the quality of feedback in the system 13

45 Systems Models: Lessons for Managers
Three Core Process Model Baldrige National Quality Program Systems Model of Organizational Accidents Socioecological Framework Encourages concurrent improvement of inter-dependent processes Aligns processes around patient needs Values all provider and employee groups Views administrative role as a process not a function Shows how the components of performance excellence are related Recognizes the context in which the organization operates Promotes alignment of all activities within the organization Promotes alignment of performance indicators Enhances communication around performance excellence Explains administrators and managers as sources of latent errors Describes frontline consequences of system errors Emphasizes importance of management competence Broadens and expands the manager’s view Addresses community and policy influences on health outcomes Source: Kelly, D.

56 Instructor’s Manual Chapter 10: Performance Measurement

57 Why measure performance?

58 Reacting to a Problem Approach
Poorly defined strategic and operational goals Operations characterized by activities rather than processes Operations reactive to immediate needs and problems Reacting to a Problem Approach Continuum of development for organizations.. Childhood: react Adolescent: Improving Adult: aligned Source: Adapted from Baldrige National Quality Program Health Care Criteria for Performance Excellence.

59 Early Systemic Approach
Strategic and quantitative goals are beginning to be defined Beginning stages of conducting operations by processes with repeatability, evaluation, and improvement Early coordination among operating units Early Systematic Approach Source: Adapted from Baldrige National Quality Program Health Care Criteria for Performance Excellence.

60 Aligned Approaches Processes address key strategies and goals of the organization Operations are characterized by processes that are repeatable and regularly evaluated for improvement Learning is shared and coordinated among organizational units Aligned Approach Source: Adapted from Baldrige National Quality Program Health Care Criteria for Performance Excellence.

61 Integrated Approach Integrated Approach
Operations characterized repeatable processes Operational processes regularly evaluated for change and improvement in collaboration with other affected units Efficiencies across units are achieved through analysis, innovation, and sharing Processes and measures track progress on key strategic and operational goals A few minutes ago, we talked about the continuum of alignment for an organization. The most mature or developed approach on this continuum is an Integrated approach Integrated Approach Source: Adapted from Baldrige National Quality Program Health Care Criteria for Performance Excellence.
