CUSP Framework

1.Evaluate Culture2.Train staff in the science of safety3. Engage staff to identify defect4. Senior executive

partnership/safety rounds5. Continue to learn from defects6. Implement tools for improvement7. Re-evaluate Culture

Objectives

• To understand the benefit of including change management theory within the performance improvement methodology

• To understand the three key components of effective change management

Traditional Improvement Methods

• Joint Commission Ten Step Model

• Plan-Test-Act-Check• Shewhart Cycle – PDCA• HCA Focus-PDCA• Six Sigma – DMAIC• Xerox Ten Step Benchmarking• Toyota Production System• Baldridge • ISO9000• Scientific Method• Rapid Cycle Improvement• Decision Making Cycle• E&Y Seven Step IMPROVE

Process• Organizational Dynamics FADE

Cycle• AHIMA Process Improvement

Cycle

• Planned• Systematic• Organization-wide• Collaborative• Prioritized• Data driven• Action oriented

Cultural Assessment Results

• Insert a chart/figure illustrating the results of the cultural assessment/safety attitudes questionnaire.

• Insert another figure/chart/graph illustrating cultural assessment results.

• Tip: Make this figure/chart/graph compare each of the units within your organization.

• Insert another figure/chart/graph illustrating cultural assessment results.

• Tip: Display a figure that would compare your organization against others.

Change Management Theory

• Below are best practice metaphors used to exemplify this theory:

• The Rider, The Elephant, The Path (used in this template)

• Aim, Will, Capacity• ADKAR• Six Change Approach• Business Process Re-engineering• Kaizen• Psychological Concept Theory

Direct the Rider

• Follow the Bright Spots – Investigate what’s working and clone it– Scientific Approach:

• HICPAC Guidelines• 47 separate recommendations

– Non-technical approach• APIC Elimination Guide• Bundles

Adopting best practices can make you as good as the competition…adapting best practices can make you better.

Direct the Rider

• Script the Critical Moves – Make the right choice easy– Think in terms of critical behaviors

• Hard Stops• Standardization• Checklists• Time Outs• Reminders• References

– What looks like resistance may be a lack of clarity

Helpful Tools• Failure Mode and Effect Analysis• Workflow Analysis• Flowcharts/Decision Tree

Direct the Rider

• Point to the Destination – Explain WHY

• Communicate relentlessly–8 times X 8 ways

• Tailor message to the audience–Be truthful–Emphasize what is important to the

target audience, but don’t eliminate other motivators

• Have clear organizational aims and link the project to the organization’s strategic goals

• Prevent decision fatigue

– Talk in terms of patients, not cases and rates

– Learn to say, “We caused…” – Don’t allow rationalization– Share stories

• Patient• Family • Staff

Move the Elephant• Shrink the Change

– Prioritize interventions– Take one bite at a time

• Rapid cycle improvement

– Small Tests of Change• Choose wisely• Win acceptance by results• You don’t need a randomized, double-blind

study or a significant p-value to make decisionsHelpful Tools

Prioritization MatrixPick ListWhat can be done by next week

Move the Elephant

• Grow your People– Create a sense of identity and instill the

growth mindset• Engagement

– Patient Safety Contract – Front Line team members– Executive Champions

• Culture of Learning– Learning from defects– Root Cause Analysis– Global Trigger Tool

Shape the Path

• Tweak the Environment – When the environment changes, the

behavior changes. • So change the situation.

– Removing concentrated electrolytes from units– Separating pediatric medications from adult

medications– Standardize the central line kit

– Important questions• Where else is ____________ done?• Who else does _______________?• Who orders _______________?

– Remember to verify changes are still in place

Shape the Path

• Build Habits– Look for ways to encourage or break habits

• Mnemonics: PASS, RACE, APIE, SOAP• Checklists• Time Outs

– Education is not an action plan• Benefit limited to those present at the time• Teach the teacher transition of information• Importance of following the instruction becomes

diminished as time passes since last defect

The Checklist ManifestoThe most effective obstacle to effective teams, it

turns out, is not the occasional fire-breathing, scalpel-flinging, terror-inducing surgeon…the more familiar and widely dangerous issue is a kind of silent disengagement, the consequence of specialized technicians sticking narrowly to their domains.

The evidence suggests we need them to see their job not just as performing their isolated set of tasks but also as helping the group get the best possible results.

~Atul Gawande MD

Shape the Path

• Rally the Herd – Behavior is contagious, help it spread.

• Can you create herd immunity• Create a sense of urgency

– How much? By when?• Link the process and the outcomes

– When the outcome is infrequent, measuring the process provides the motivation and the outcome data provides the celebration.

• Constructive competition• Unblind the data• Celebrate successes

A dream is just a dream. A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline. –Harvey Mackay
