Agenda Item IV. Performance Updates Ms. Anderson presented a Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) update from the January board meeting. Shannon Largent, Administrative Director of Patient Care Services & Accreditation and Tressa Lyon, Manager Health Information Management chair the Outcomes & Efficiencies Strategic team. The goal is to extend continuous improvement efforts across the entire system, so as to support better care, improved health, lower costs and better outcomes. The PDSA Plan is simple, easy to learn and use. It helps with rapid cycle improvement, accountability and sustainability. Ms. Anderson explained a few differences between an Average Organization to a High Reliability Organization when implementing the PDSA model. • Instead of quality only in terms of compliance - an organization realizes quality is continuous and systematic improvement; have a preoccupation with failure • Instead of using data to assess or knee jerk reactions - use data to make rapid sustainable improvement and not accepting simple explanations for problems • Instead of top down approach of "we say, you do" - defer to expertise and look to those performing the work • Instead of a culture of blame - support a culture of safety and accountability The majority of time of the PDSA should be spent in the "Plan" phase. This allows NRHA Board Minutes 4 October 28, 2019 for sustainable improvement and not temporary solutions. PDSA Lunch and Learns are facilitated by members of the Outcomes & Efficiencies Strategic Team on a monthly basis and have now expanded to both campuses. They have facilitated over 40 projects, had over 50 participants and attendees range from about 25 different departments. Agenda Item V.
