Health care organizations face an ever-growing list of challenges – poor patient outcomes, rising costs, inefficient systems, compromised quality of care
and evolving health care technology. The spotlight is shining brighter than ever on transforming America’s health care system; a transformation that
must be deeply embedded with patient safety and high quality care. Two emerging models of care offer promising changes to improve both the
coordination and quality of patient’s care – the Accountable Care Organization (ACO) and the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH).
Changes of this degree require system-wide interventions to improve processes within and across entire health care organizations. This interactive,
hands-on workshop will introduce participants to a quality improvement methodology, known as Perfecting Patient Care SM, rooted in Lean concepts
and validated through 10 years of direct health care application. Participants will have the opportunity to learn and apply proven Lean tools and
principles that will enable staff at all levels of these organizations (frontline, providers, management, etc.) to become problem-solvers and begin
addressing the challenges in their own organizations, from communication within a unit or practice to communication between systems and beyond.
The workshop will focus on improving the quality of care for patients who transition along the health care continuum, an essential element of the ACO
model, and how the PCMH serves as a foundation for quality patient care delivery.
Following participation in this workshop, you will be able to:
- Discuss how the needs of the patient will guide improvement efforts
- Describe how Lean tools and concepts can contribute to the successful formation and sustainment of an ACO or PCMH
- Recognize the benefits of constructing value stream maps as a means to understand patient care and to work towards sustainable care models
- Articulate methods to redesign health care delivery systems around the ACO and PCMH models with a focus on team-based care coordination
and communication
