The Iceberg of Ignorance
This internationally acclaimed study conducted by Sidney Yoshida, was initially presented at the International Quality Symposium, Mexico city, 1989. It indicated how management's failure to understand its processes and practices from the perspective of its customers, suppressed the company's profits by as much as 40%.

Problem Solving to Create Organizational Learning
• First Order Problem Solving---– Do what it takes to continue to care for the patient
• Second Order problem Solving---– Diagnosing and altering underlying causes to
prevent recurrence

Blister analogy
• Organizational problems are like poorly fitting shoes on a foot
• First a red spot occurs with pain—if no response– A blister—sterile inflammatory
response– If no response (numbness to the
pain)
• Ulcer–Amputation

Previous Condition
• No standardization• Silos which were independent of each other• No accountability/responsibility• No one understanding the “whole picture”• Blame of everyone• Trying to find the problem/solution under the
moving coconut—the shell game
![Page 14: Diane Frndak Let’s Get Real](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020207/5556d8fcd8b42a0f028b47ec/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Dysfunctional Normal State:
• Input disconnected from Output• Starving the process for resources so
cannot achieve the quality service or efficiency—may seem to make sense in the short term
• Optimizes one department’s goals over the system goals (i.e. make more money in this department)
• Fully utilizes a shared resource with one type of demand and sub-optimizes other demands
• Becomes disconnected from the purpose
![Page 15: Diane Frndak Let’s Get Real](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020207/5556d8fcd8b42a0f028b47ec/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Dysfunctional Normal State:
• Focuses on interpersonal conflict or friendships to solve problems rather than alignment and contribution to ultimate purpose
• Fragmented or designed delays, waits, waste
• No tension to better towards the ideal• Does not learn or experiences decay
over time• System becomes desensitized to what
normal means and thinks and behaves as if dysfunctional normal is really normal
• Rarely in true normal state
![Page 16: Diane Frndak Let’s Get Real](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020207/5556d8fcd8b42a0f028b47ec/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Normal State: • Involves performance agreements (mutually understood standards) for what is normal ( for example, 30 minutes for this step)• “In process” visual controls or data assures the process that it is in normal state• The budget is appropriate for supporting the normal state—the Goldilocks approach• The organization stays in normal state at least 80% of the time or the normal state is refined
![Page 17: Diane Frndak Let’s Get Real](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020207/5556d8fcd8b42a0f028b47ec/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Normal State: • Input ~= Output• A designed process with a whole system understanding• Streamlined positive experience for patients and staff—designed consistent with the purpose• Designed with high quality, service and efficiency—normal state should work• Normal state should be informed by contingencies and creative states• If process does not work the way it is designed, there is a way to pull management attention to the “abnormal state”
![Page 18: Diane Frndak Let’s Get Real](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020207/5556d8fcd8b42a0f028b47ec/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

The Path of Least Resistance
![Page 19: Diane Frndak Let’s Get Real](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020207/5556d8fcd8b42a0f028b47ec/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Green Status
• Our unit is operating well right now
• We can take additional patients• We can help others if needed
• We have reserve resources• We are ≤80% capacity
• We are achieving expected metrics +/- 50%
Green teams are available to help others as long at is does not convert them into red.
![Page 20: Diane Frndak Let’s Get Real](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020207/5556d8fcd8b42a0f028b47ec/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Yellow Status
• Our unit is operating okay
• We cannot take additional patients• We cannot help others
• We have limited reserve resources• We are between 80-100% capacity
• We are able to achieve expected metrics +/-50-100%
Yellow teams self correct if possible to stay out of red status
![Page 21: Diane Frndak Let’s Get Real](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020207/5556d8fcd8b42a0f028b47ec/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Red Status
• Our unit is operating not well right now
• We cannot take additional patients• We need help others
• We have no reserve resources• We are >100% capacity
• We are not achieving expected metrics +/- 100%
Leaders and other team members help anyone in red statu s—goal for everyone is to get out of red as soon as possibl e
![Page 22: Diane Frndak Let’s Get Real](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020207/5556d8fcd8b42a0f028b47ec/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
![Page 23: Diane Frndak Let’s Get Real](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020207/5556d8fcd8b42a0f028b47ec/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Leadership Response
• Every 2 hours charge nurse establishes status, reports every 4 hours
• Each unit defines status parameters—tracks and updates
• Addresses “constant red” syndrome• If converts to red, designed leadership
responds immediately• Contingencies implemented—depending on the
situation
![Page 24: Diane Frndak Let’s Get Real](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020207/5556d8fcd8b42a0f028b47ec/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
“Real-time is the best time”
- immediate problem identification - real-time data - real-time response
![Page 25: Diane Frndak Let’s Get Real](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020207/5556d8fcd8b42a0f028b47ec/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Patient safety issues? Missed orders, bedded patients in unsafe areas, hallway patients, challenges in getting MD approval
• Were there any less than satisfied customers? Families upset?
• Were there any defects in the transfer of patients? Batching? Missing documentation? Lack of communication (not impacting patient safety)
• Are there any disagreements between employees? Any disrespectful communication? Any misinformation provided?
• Were there any units on red status? • Were there any contingencies tested that did not work? • Are there any anticipated bottlenecks for flow today?

Contingency State:
• Look at the process to identify potentially variability or vulnerability• Designed contingencies at each step of the process and they should be activated for specific situations• Someone with human intelligence needs to analyze the situation and activates the contingency• Contingencies are constantly learning
![Page 29: Diane Frndak Let’s Get Real](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020207/5556d8fcd8b42a0f028b47ec/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Contingency State:
• Contingencies are understood by many and activated on the front line as appropriate without management approval for each instance• Input > Output or Input < Output• Contingencies should be used occasionally (<20% of the time)
![Page 30: Diane Frndak Let’s Get Real](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020207/5556d8fcd8b42a0f028b47ec/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Creative State:
• Also called “crisis mode”• Sense of urgency and “on the fly”solutions• Going into creative state should be a rare (<5% of the time) and thus an event that gets attention• Try completely unusual solutions• Use when contingencies fail or are likely to fail• Not pre-designed so may require “breaking the rules” to meet the purpose of the process• Provides the agility of the organization in extreme situations
![Page 31: Diane Frndak Let’s Get Real](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020207/5556d8fcd8b42a0f028b47ec/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump,bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it.

• Units submit a creative application and “win” the Makeover• We seek to live the words, “the patient is the focus of
everything we do ”.
What is it?

The Beautiful Systems Design Principles
1. Define and simplify every pathway and streamline flow
2. Clearly connect customers and suppliers
3. Specify every activity4. Improve with each glitch to move closer to
the ideal
Adapted from the Rules in Use in “Decoding the DNA of the Toyota Production System”by Steve Spear and H. Kent Bowen, HBR, 1999
