O’Joy Care Services : Quality

“The organization places a strong emphasis on quality, for example, through extensive training for staff and volunteers; strict service standards; and carefully considered design of its services.”

Philanthropists Forum 2017 Research Report

“O’Joy is one of few non-profits in Singa-pore providing special-ised mental health counselling for older people. Partners inter-viewed by Just Cause, Asia noted that they stand out for being able to offer home visits, speak dialects and under-stand the cultural issues of older people in the area they work.”

“they place special emphasis on staff and volunteer training; and have carefully thought through processes for ensuring and building quality. This was ack-nowledged by stake-holders (interviewed by Just Cause), e.g. “their counsellors are very well-trained”.”

Bringing Oceans of Joy to Those We Serve

• Between 2013 to 2016, Ang Mio Ko Family Medical Centre (2 MOU signed)

• Between 2015 to 2017, Unity Family Medical Centre (no MOU needed)

• In 2018, 30 Sep 2018, over 50% of the 322 total referral are from GPs, SingHealth polyclinics.

Key Performance Indicator (K.P.I.)

Chart in the ward

Process1. Gather all QI champions.

- Create awareness

- Allow them to design the chart.

2. Set a target for each core QI indicator.

3. Create the timeline implementation.

4.Implemantation:

- Data: collected the data from QI champions

- Updating the chart: Assigned QI members in each level.

- Review and Analyzing the data: KPI in the ward on monthly basis.

- Sharing of data at Monthly Clinical Meeting.

35

What have we done so far?

In March 2018, all wards displayed their KPI chart to showcase the outcome measures of the following core quality indicators:

• Hand hygiene compliance rate

• Pressure Injury rate

• Fall incident

• Customer Feedback – number of complaints

• Advance Care Planning (ACP) / Preferred Plan of Care (PPC)

• Medication Discrepancy

The data entered in the charts were updated promptly by Quality Improvement (QI) team members.

36

What was the result has been so far?

o Helps improved care staff engagement in resident care, communication within the team and promoting sense of ownership.

o Increased the Hand Hygiene compliance rate.

o Increased number of resident with ACP/PPC.

o Serves as a review and monitoring tool for everyone.

What are our next step?o @ DND we launched the ‘Recognition

Program for Care Staff in Maintaining Key Performance Indicators’

o Refined our awards criteria.

Lesson we learned:

Initially in customer feedback only the complaints is the indicator. After 3 months of implementation we realised that it would be good to include the compliments.

Continuously fine tuning our selection criteria.

Lean Transformation of Organisations and Leaders

• In the early years, probably more time is spent convincing leaders, clinicians and staff that they should do this than actually doing anything!

• No time• No need• Just another

program• We’re different – it

won’t work here• Not research• We already exceed

benchmark or meet targets

• Them but not me• I say yes but I don’t

do yes• Next new bright

shiny thing

How to get organisations (leaders and staff) to do this!

Staff safety firstZero defects second

Lead with Safety and Quality

PQMS: Packard Quality Management System

Lead with Quality and build on what already exists

MISSIONTo provide Quality, Comprehensive and Convenient healthcare services to the needy in Singapore

VISIONTo be a Leading Community Healthcare Hub in Singapore

Identify a problem

Understand the current state and try to identify root cause or causes

Monitor and measure outcomes

Try something – implement countermeasures

Continue to improve

Lean Thinking and practice looks at qualitythrough different lens

Defects result in defective parts

and scrap

This results in ‘failure demand’Work that needs to be done again

Every time we need to do work again it is wasted

productivity

The further the defect gets in the

production line the higher the impact

The product takes longer to deliver (time to

service)

Improved quality = reduced cost

Quality by adding extra people,

extra steps

Questions for you to consider• How do you currently focus on quality and what currently

exists that you could build on?

Toyota didn’t develop TPS in their finance department

Work on something important to increase relevance & involvement• Access to care is important PLUS

– include something that will improve the quality of care for the patient in front of clinicians

– Something that will make life easier for staff• Use Lean Thinking to break down big problems into

bitesize, achievable pieces

Questions for you to consider• How do you currently focus on quality and what currently

exists that you could build on? • What are the important problems to be worked on? What

are your current strategies for solving these problems?

“I have something I would like to spread to you.”

Don’t do this!

Pull not Push

Go where the ‘early adopters’ take you. Lean Thinking and Practice applies everywhere. Every story of improvement will be worth it!

They understand and connect to most

processes, particularly

communication

They spend their lives trying to get other groups of

professionals to do things

They are usually the one who has a birds eye view of the patient

journey (s)

Their role is patient advocate – their

profession is built on connecting with patients

and families

Its not difficult to convince them to reduce waste in

their work

They often provide local and

front line line leadership

Nurses make great leaders of

Questions for you to consider• How do you currently focus on quality and what currently

exists that you could build on? • What are the important problems to be worked on? What

are your current strategies for solving these problems?• Where are your early adopters? How could you unleash

their influence on the organisation?• Can you see where the patient journey and the work are up

to?

“we have always don’t it like this”“I have always done it like this”

Questions for you to consider• How do you currently focus on quality and what currently

exists that you could build on? • What are the important problems to be worked on? What

are your current strategies for solving these problems?• Where are your early adopters? How could you unleash

their influence on the organisation?• Can you see where the patient journey and the work are up

to?• Do you have WADILTs that are an opportunity for engaging

staff

Maybe you don’t need a Lean Transformation• Maybe you are good and you want to be great• Maybe you are average and you want to be good• Maybe you are great and you want to be outstanding • Maybe your service delivery is inconsistent and you want to be

consistent• Maybe you have demands you cant meet• Maybe you have a lot of waste in the system and you want to have

less waste in the system• Maybe you have unsatisfied patients and families and you want them

to be satisfied• Maybe you have some unstable departments you would like to

stabilise• Maybe you want to be better tomorrow than you want to be today• Maybe you have to be better tomorrow than you want to be today

Questions for you to consider• How do you currently focus on quality and what currently

exists that you could build on? • What are the important problems to be worked on? What

are your current strategies for solving these problems?• Where are your early adopters? How could you unleash

their influence on the organisation?• Can you see where the patient journey and the work are up

to?• Do you have WADILTs that are an opportunity for engaging

staff• Be clear and consistent about the why – transformation is

not a why

LEAN THINKING AND PRACTICEA business / organisational strategy for everything!• Do you want a safer organisation for patients and staff?• Do you want to deliver higher quality service (care) without

errors or defects?• Do you want your customers (patients) to get their services

(care) without waiting?• Do you want to reduce the cost of your service (care)?• Do you want your staff to be more engaged and morale to

be higher?• Do you want your customers (patients) to be more

satisfied?• Do you want to develop your staff and leaders at the same

time?

Are you prepared to learn, work

hard and get involved?

Getting started with Lean Thinking & Practice1. An internal leader with some influence who ‘believes’ and

would like to lead a lean experiment2. An acknowledgement of what already exists and building

on that wherever possible3. A local area or a horizontal value stream (ideally both) as

an area to experiment4. Someone to teach (inspire, build relationships) and show

the next step 5. Some time to do the improvement6. A plan for sharing the improvement that is done7. A plan for fun!
