Some Quality Improvement Tools
• Brainstorming • Multi-voting • Fishbone/Cause and Effect/Ishikawa Diagram • Flow chart • Pareto chart • Process map • Prioritization matrices
3
………these tools help us improve how we make decisions about where we focus our limited energy and resources

Problem Definition
6
Vaguely Defining the Problem Will Yield………..
Vague Solutions Which in, turn, will yield…….
Vague and/or Ineffective Results

What is the problem?
• Keep the problem statement or definition simple, clear,
concise, and understandable – Do not include solutions in the problem statement – Do not include “drivers” in the problem statement
• Use quality improvement tools to:
– Analyze why the rate could be high (causes or drivers) – Generate solutions – Prioritize how the solutions will be sequenced
• May need to consider long range, intermediate, and immediate goals

Surgical Site Infections at ABC Hospital are High.

Over the last few months the NYSPFP has given us the evidence, BUT what are the specific causes of SSIs at your Hospital? Implement evidence-based practices while taking a local approach to problem solving.

Three Tools for Problem Analysis
• Ishikawa Diagram
• Pareto Chart
• Flow Chart
9
What are the possible causes of surgical site infections at ABC
Hospital?
Where should the ABC Hospital team focus their energies and
limited resources to address the problem?
What is the current state at ABC Hospital?
Can they design a flow to reflect the ideal state?

Pareto Chart • Graphically demonstrates the relative importance of
problems
• Based on the proven “Pareto” principle: 20% of the sources cause 80% of any problem
• Focus on key problems that offer the greatest potential
for improvement
• Helps prevent shifting the “problem” to where the “solution” removes some causes but worsens others and does not fix the problem

Premise: Improvement is enhanced if work is kept visual for the team. Wherever possible, use graphs, charts, or sketches.

Why Emphasize Teamwork in our Work to Prevention SSIs?
“…poor care is inevitable when a complicated patient is cared for by a myriad of individuals who have not been trained to communicate
effectively as a team.” Gerald B. Healy, MD, FACS
Presidential Address 93rd Clinical Congress – American College of Surgeons
October 2007

Surgical Safety Improvement and Teamwork
18
Teamwork and effective communication amongst patient caregivers is essential for optimal patient outcomes… (Dr. David Feldman)
![Page 19: SSI OR Safety Caroline Jacobs Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051713/5870ad921a28ab750a8b5e3f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Another Reason to Emphasize Teamwork?
19
To be effective in preventing SSIs we must mobilize team knowledge, data
AND QI tools to improve decision making and outcomes……
Who needs to comprise the TEAM that works together to prevent SSIs?
Do they need training and skill building on teamwork and QI tools?
![Page 20: SSI OR Safety Caroline Jacobs Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051713/5870ad921a28ab750a8b5e3f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Team Competencies • Knowledge
– Shared mental model • Attitudes
– Mutual trust – Team orientation
• Performance – Adaptability – Accuracy – Productivity – Efficiency – Safety
20
Teamwork is a cooperative effort by the members of a group or team to achieve a common goal…. What are you ready to do so that your hospital will succeed at preventing SSIs?

An Additional Tool: A-3 Thinking • Associated with the Toyota “LEAN” problem
solving model using the Plan Do Check Act (PDCA) cycle for change
• Structured way of thinking about a problem • Focuses on solving the right process problems;
fosters critical thinking and communication about a problem
• Visually represents the problem, potential solutions, and progress to goal
