Lean Concepts to Reflect in the Future State
Future State Data Summary Total time for discharge post identification of DC date: 12.2 days in the future vs 32-52 days currently Future Current PMS Current S2 “Short Stay” Care DC Care DC DC Process Only Planning Process Planning Process LT 1,490 46,750 2,925 75,460 17,550 LT in days 1 day 32 days 2 days 52 days 12.2 CT 50 490 45 500 270 WAIT 1,440 46,260 2,880 74,960 17,280 VA 50 465 22 380 265 NVA 1,1440 46,285 2,903 75,080 17,305 VA % 3.4% 1% 1% .5% 1.4%
Our Vision of the Future • Length of stay for short stay residents will drop from 84 to 54 days (a reduction of 36%) • Lead time from identification of discharge to actual discharge will drop from a range of 32-52 to 12.2 days while maintaining time for treatment and care and maintaining a safe and supportive environment • Characteristics of the future state include: Resident developing self-confidence for self-care Enabling health and wellness of the resident post- discharge Fully integrating linkages to community resources for the betterment of resident outcomes post- discharge
Problem Statement The number of residents discharged from Laguna Honda has been declining over the past 3 fiscal years. Availability of housing for the population served is increasingly more limited in San Francisco. There is a need to focus on discharge planning processes of residents who are able to return to their prior living situation where housing is not a barrier to discharge.
Targets and Goals By the end of FY 17-18, 1. Increase by 25% the number of residents (who are short stay and have a home) discharged back to the community within 60 days of admission. 2. Reduce average LOS by 30% by improving internal and external discharge planning care coordination processes and reducing wait times between processes. (Average LOS for S2 from 263 to 184 days, PM from 77 to 54 days)
