The Model for Improvement and PDSA DHCF Nursing Facility Quality Improvement Collaborative March 2019 Selena Bolotin, LICSW 1 1

So Many Choices … Where to Begin? • Model For Improvement • Reliability Science (MFI) and Plan-Do- • Human Factors Study-Act (PDSA) • Situation-Background- • Baldrige Assessment- Recommendation • ISO Quality (SBAR) Management Systems • Six Sigma • Lean 2 2

Three Fundamental Questions for Improvement • What are we trying to accomplish? • How will we know that a change is an improvement? • What changes can we make that will result in an improvement? 3 3

Model for Improvement What are we trying to accomplish? How will we know that a change is an improvement? What change can we make that will result in improvement? 4 4

What Are We Trying to Accomplish? Developing an Aim • State the aim clearly • Use numerical goals • State the time frame and site of the work Example: “By the end of 2019, our NH will decrease the percentage of LS residents with facility acquired pressure ulcers by 25% through the application of the SKIN bundle 5 5

How Will We Know That a Change Is an Improvement? Measurement Basics • Just enough! • Qualitative vs. quantitative • Should not take more time nor effort than the improvements or system • Monthly measures should clarify your aim statement and make it realistic 6 6

Measurement Basics (cont’d) • Integrate measurement into the daily routine • Plot measures monthly • Use a balanced set of five to seven measures to assure that the system is improved 7 7

Example: Annotated Run Chart Goal: 100.0 Median: 0.0 Process Measure 1: Documented Pre-trial Rate preference and motivation 120.0 100.0 e d 80.0 c 60.0 40.0 20.0 b a 0.0 Apr-19 May-19 Jun-19 Jul-19 Aug-19 Sep-19 Oct-19 Nov-19 Dec-19 Jan-20 Feb-20 Mar-20 Date Rate Goal Median Annotations: a Inserviced all staff on interview technique b designated "interview specialists" c expanded "interview specialist" to cover all units and weekends d prompted voiding added as option in standing orders for admission e turnover in designated interview specialists 8

What Change Can We Make that Will Result in Improvement? Change Ideas • Everything goes! • Think outside the box! • Borrow from other disciplines, organizations, topics. • Proven change packages (e.g., Vanderbilt, INTERACT , IHI’s Campaigns, literature, etc.) 9 9

Accelerating Improvement: PDSA Cycles Paired with the Model For Improvement 10 10

The PDSA Cycle Four Steps: Plan, Do, Study, Act Also known as: • Shewhart Cycle Act Plan • Deming Cycle • Learning and Study Do Improvement Cycle 11 11

PDSA Cycle for Learning Improvement Act Plan • Adopt, Adapt, or • Objective • Questions and Abandon? • What changes are predictions (Why) • Who, What, When, to be made? • Next cycle? Where Study Do • Carry out the plan • Complete the analysis • Document problems, of the data and compare unexpected to predictions observations • Summarize • Begin analysis learning 12 12

Testing on a Small Scale • Pick the most likely helpers • Use existing knowledge from co-workers • Incorporate redundancy in the test – Side-by-side with the existing care system – Try the change two different ways • “ Cycle of 1” - Conduct the test in one wing, with one person, with one subject, etc. • Develop a plan to simulate the change in some way 13 13

Decrease the Time Frame for a PDSA Test Cycle • Years • Quarters • Months • Weeks • Days Drop next down • Hours two levels to plan • Minutes test cycle! 14 14
