Recently I was reading on-line publication of the ER doctor about trouble at times iskustva.Pacijent came to the ER and was complaining of acute boli.Pacijent wanted a prescription for a Schedule 2 controlled tvar.Prva difficulty for doctors is to determine whether the patient requires medication for the addict and wanted him to get high. This situation is not neuobičajeno.Druga difficult situation is that, while not surprising, would not dogodilo.Liječnik felt pressured to prescribe the substance in order to please the patient. Why would it matter? Hospital Authority is pressure on staff to work on improving patient satisfaction scores on the CAHPS Hospital Survey. Turning down the request of patients could lead to a poor response to the survey, if the patient was asked of him.
It is my opinion that the quality of services as measured by patient satisfaction survey should not affect the clinical decision process of a doctor, nurse, or any other clinician. Any good program should measure the quality of support services, such as the hospital environment, the waiting time for patient access to services, etc. This view is emphasized in Toyota way for health care excellence John Black. It seems that this confusion of clinical decisions to improve quality is not all too uncommon. When standardized clinical staff to hear work in improving the quality of confusion about what will be standardized can happen. In all good programs-Baldrige, Six Sigma, TQM, Lean, efforts focus on the quality of the process, rather than therapeutic procedures. It is assumed that clinical staff will make the best possible medical decisions that benefit the patient and the patient should be involved in decision-making process.
Effective communication is essential in health care sites in order to avoid confusion, as described above. The two elements necessary for effective communication are qualities of leadership and structure that allow communication to occur. The involvement of the leaders of health sites, administrative and medical, are needed for communication to occur, and quality improvement. Leadership means to be routinely present in the workplace. When Mike Rona, president of Virginia Mason Medical Center, began leading executives Virginia Mason on their way to improve the quality of waste removal and focus on the patient with the Toyota production is one of the first things he and his staff have been touring various places in Virginia Mason . He was very surprised by the atmosphere and working in the emergency department. He did not understand the challenges faced by the staff there. He related that he became more aware of the changes that are needed from his Walkabouts. This is a real problem, not just abstract numbers and narratives in the reports.
Leading by being involved in the daily routine of patients and the staff makes the process and challenges of any health more concrete and understandable. It encourages interaction with the staff that could lead to improved confidence and moral. In fact, these elements are necessary if there is a significant step in the process or disposal of the site, as can happen when the new centers are opened in a hospital or new directions in quality improvement have been taken.
acquaintance of mine who is the owner and CEO of auto parts manufacturing company told me one morning at breakfast that he makes a point of putting on overalls and go once a month to work on the factory floor. He says that this way he avoided many problems and is able to find solutions to the challenges insights shared employees. He stated to me that one of the keys to successful communication, when the factory floor that works hard to follow the fifth director Stephen Covey in 7 Habits of Highly Effective People ask-first to understand then be understood.
In addition, an effective, visible leadership, it is necessary element for effective communication are the vehicles that provide opportunities for interaction between health managers and staff, both clinical and support. Improving the quality team to provide an arena for discussions about improving processes and focusing on the patient. All quality improvement processes listed above include the use of teams composed of representatives from each of the personnel involved in process improvement. John Black in the Toyota way for health care excellence describes the permanent teams composed of clinical leaders trained in the Lean process improvement and staff from the model lines in the structure of health care operations, cancer clinics, administration, patient care , etc. These teams are called kaizen surgery teams. These teams report to the Office promociju.Ured Kaizen Kaizen Promotion works with hospital leadership, including chief medical officer.
In the opening story in this newsletter, the physician who is uncertain about what to do about prescribing the drug would lead to a conflict between the government emphasis on patient satisfaction as measured by the survey instrument and its right to odluke.Vođa clinical team would then discuss problem with appropriate guidance, along with recommendations from the team involved. Generally the advice of the team leaders should follow if they see a strong recommendation conflicts with the hospital strategic plan, which should be patient centered.
In today's difficult health care environment is essential that there is strong communication between all departments and among staff of each department. This communication can be achieved by a strong leader who regularly take part in day-to-day activities of staff and patients at the site. Leaders must not only have to appear in clinical areas, but also work on an understanding of staff, patients and tamo.Vozilo processes that encourage further participation in the organization to focus on the patient, while solving quality and communication bottlenecks are to improve the quality of the team.
