Our RequestThe process for requesting access to our medical system and then fulfilling the request is cumbersome, time consuming and contains far too much waste.

There are multiple hand-offs between educators and analysts resulting in delayed processing of access.

This can cause delays in patient care and frequently causes request escalations at all hours.

The process is unnecessarily consuming resource hours, resulting in an increased backlog of requests, further exacerbating the problem.

Our Response

“Yes, I am willing to be the Executive Sponsor for this PI effort. I would also suggest we use our internal IS PI resources to spin up an effort to quickly look at this problem. Dewayne Freeman and Heather Strickland are available to meet with you and the Process Owner to discuss the PI approach, this particular problem, and map out a quick action planto conduct a PI event for this problem. As soon as that meeting can take place, we can take the next step of conducting the PI event and make progress to solve this problem.” (Executive Sponsor, June 21)

Exercise #2

How would you learn about the problem?

Page 13: Improving Technology Access in Healthcare · 2019. 7. 3. · Improving Technology Access in Healthcare Michigan Lean Consortium Annual Conference Active Learning Session (ALS) #2

Problem: What we heard…

My educators continue to share concerns with delays in medical system access post successful completion of the coursework and assessment. They put in help desk tickets when this occurs but the delay/turnaround doesn’t seem to be improving. There are nurse techs and nurses on the clinical units as part of their orientation without access to the medical system. (Nursing Education Director, June 19)

Medical system access requests continue to fall behind, the contractors have left and the fulfillment team is not able to keep up with the current manual provisioning process [even] after implementing the new medical system. (Medical System Director, June 19)

Problem: What we heard…

Neuro ICU – [Two] RNs have been on Neuro ICU 2 weeks without access. (Nursing Education Director, June 21)

Kelsey Wilson: “She told me on week 3 of orientation that she still didn’t have access).” (Nursing Education Director, June 21)

Every new hire that I had on 6/11 reached out to me last week stating they had taken the class and did not have access. (Nursing Education Director, June 21)

Our Approach: ADKARWhile there are many useful Change Management methodologies, Spectrum Health has chosen ADKAR as the backbone of its processes.

For any significant change, impacted people should be led through a series of deliberate, planned activities designed to drive:

26

AwarenessOf the need for

change

DesireTo participate in and support the

change

KnowledgeOn how to change

AbilityTo implement

required skills and behaviors on the job

ReinforcementTo sustain the change

What percent of projects meet or exceed their

objectives when change management is

used effectively?

What percent of projects succeed when there’s

poor or no change management?

Our Approach: Point of CauseYou are looking for a specific set of conditions.

Start where problem is found and work upstream.

Investigate! Investigate! Investigate!

Get as close as possible to point of cause before testing countermeasures.

Problem solving requires patience and persistence – skills are developed through practice.

Page 37: Improving Technology Access in Healthcare · 2019. 7. 3. · Improving Technology Access in Healthcare Michigan Lean Consortium Annual Conference Active Learning Session (ALS) #2

Impact: Our Major Countermeasures

Fulfillment team stopped double-checking credentials & checking training (requirements for system access).

Added an information page to the Intranet to help requestors know what & how to request.

Fulfillment team stopped notifying customers manually when access was fulfilled, notifying the customer automatically, sending the user-name, password & login instructions, once access was fulfilled.

Granted access by default, revoking only if the employee didn’t meet the criteria later.

What have YOU learned today?

Page 41: Improving Technology Access in Healthcare · 2019. 7. 3. · Improving Technology Access in Healthcare Michigan Lean Consortium Annual Conference Active Learning Session (ALS) #2

Our Lessons Learned

“Ah hah!” moment with huge shortcut to Future State.

“Ah hah!” moment during first meeting with Improvement Sponsor. We learned that the mess originated from the new medical system implementation. There wasn’t time to build automated access so they “kicked the can.”

Because the people who made the decisions that got us into this mess weren’t around any more, we lost all of the tribal knowledge available to us later.

Just because participants are told to change their process doesn’t mean that they WILL change.41
