  1. QAPI Achieving a Culture of Excellence

  2. Objectives • To demonstrate an understanding of how to use the elements of QAPI within  the performance excellence framework. • To verbalize how a SVH can mobilize an organization to create and sustain a culture of excellence. • To identify at least one method to involve team members in creating a culture of learning

  3. "Change would be easy if it weren't for all of the people" Balestracci and Barlow

  4. Baldrige Quality Award • All about results and improvement • Using a framework • A systematic approach • Established by congress in 1987 • Designed to improve the competitiveness of US businesses • Identifies role model organization • Internationally recognized and emulated.

  5. Baldrige Background • Studies done related to industries in the US who were losing market share- such as steel and auto industries. • Found a common set of values and process that successful organizations used • These process and values are now the framework for performance excellence

  6. Why Baldrige • Study by Thompson Reuters found that hospitals using the Baldrige criteria were 6X more likely to be in the top 100 hospitals and outperformed non- Baldrige hospitals in: • Risk-adjusted mortality index • Risk-adjusted complications index • Patient safety index • CMS core measures score • Severity-adjusted average length of stay • Adjusted operating profit margin

  7. Roadmap Leadership Triad Results Triad

  8. Baldrige categories • Leadership: How do leaders create a sustainable organization? • Strategic Planning: How do you develop strategy? • Customer Focus: How do you listen to customers and determine solutions upon feedback from the customer? • Measurement, Analysis and Knowledge Management: How do you select and use data to measure and improve performance?

  9. Baldrige categories • Workforce: How do you assess capacity and capability to meet the needs of the customer and accomplish the plan? • Operations: How do you manage key work processes and systems to create long term sustainable value? • Results: What results are important to leadership and your customers and how do you share with those that impact performance?

  10. So what?

  11. What’s the Goal? Improvement of some components, processes, or outcomes? OR Complete system transformation to ensure success every time?

  12. “Tension for Change” “To leave the comfort of the status quo, most individuals need to believe that change is truly imperative and there is a more attractive alternative.” Silversin, J. & Kornacki M.J, ,(2000) Leading Physicians Through Change

  13. QAPI • Affordable Care Act • A system to provide technical assistance to nursing homes • Transformation of how we deliver quality • Shift on delivering excellence proactively, not reactively • Approach where problems are caught before serious

  14. QAPI “The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is leading an initiative that could transform the way nursing homes ensure quality. This initiative goes beyond the current QAA provision, and aims to significantly expand the intensity and scope of current activities in order to not only correct quality deficiencies (quality assurance), but also to put practices in place to monitor all nursing home care and services to continuously improve performance.”

  15. QAPI A framework of 5 elements: 1. Design and scope 2. Governance and leadership 3. Feedback and monitoring 4. PI projects 5. Analysis and systematic action

  16. Design/Scope Quality of Care, Quality of Life, Resident Choice Governance/ Leadership Feedback, Data Systems/Monitoring Performance Improvement Projects Systematic Analysis and Action

  17. QAPI: Design and Scope • Plan should be comprehensive and include all the care and services your facility provide • Balancing safety and quality of care with resident choice and autonomy • Not just about nursing or the food in the kitchen—involves every aspect of the care and services provided

  18. QAPI: Governance and Leadership • Expectation that the executive leadership of your facility must be actively engaged and involved in QAPI • It must be real visible involvement at all levels

  19. QAPI: Feedback, Data Systems, and Monitoring • This element emphasizes the establishment of systems for proactively identifying and using data to measure performance and identifying opportunities for improvement

  20. QAPI: Performance Improvement Projects • Performance Improvement Projects (PIPs) to improve care • Builds on the other elements to ensure that the opportunities for improvement are prioritized and incorporated into PIPs

  21. Systemic Analysis and Action • Using a systematic formal process for analysis • Example: root cause analysis • Ensuring that actions taken address changes or improvements to the system • Continual improvement and learning

  22. Design & Scope Governance & Leadership Performance Improvement Projects (PIP) Systematic Analysis/ Systematic Action Feedback, Data Systems Monitoring

  23. “Call the Question” • Are you proud of “your” performance? • How do your clinical scores compare to your competitors? • What did "we" do differently? • Does improving quality really matter in your organization? • How are quality initiatives prioritized within your organization? • Do you “know” how you do what you do to make success repeatable? Developed from AHA Get w/ the Guidelines program (Houston, 2005)

  24. QAPI Maine Veterans Homes Journey

  25. Converging on Qapi • Silver award applications • Affordable Care Act mandate: QAPI • Hardwire a culture of excellence • Strategic Plan: Direction from the board • Needed a framework

  26. Leadership and Governance • Developing the QAPI Workgroup: • Educate board • Obtain senior leadership support • Identified initial membership of the Workgroup • Board steers the QAPI workgroup

  27. MVH QAPI Workgroup • Representatives from all 6 homes and central office • Standardized education to introduce QAPI • Charter established and approved by Board • Purpose – establish a fact based, data-driven system for improving healthcare, safety, operational performance and competitiveness of Maine Veterans’ Homes • Goals: • Development of an annual QAPI plan • Development of a results dashboard • Review of outcome results and identification of opportunities for improvement

  28. Charter

  29. Charter

  30. Design and Scope • Reviewed organizational profiles • Baldrige definition: What are your key organizational characteristics? What is your organization's strategic situation? • Products, vision, mission, workforce, assets, regulatory requirements, organizational structure, customers/stakeholders, suppliers/partners • Self Assessment: • CMS QAPI tools: QAPI at a Glance • Organizationally and at each home • QAPI Plan Development: • Purpose Statement • Development of guiding principles

  31. Design and Scope MVH QAPI Purpose Statement The purpose of our Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Program is to achieve and sustain a culture of excellence by using a fact based, data driven decision making model with a proactive approach to continually improving the way we “Care for Those Who Served”.

QAPI has a prominent role in our management and board functions. 3. Our organization uses QAPI to make informed decisions and guide our day to day operations. 4. The outcome of QAPI in our organization is the quality of care and quality of life of our residents within a framework of resident directed care and recognition that “Veterans are Unique”. 5. QAPI focuses on systems and process. The emphasis is on identifying system gaps rather than blaming individuals.

  34. Design and Scope MVH QAPI Guiding Principles 6. Our organization has a culture that supports “Honesty and Integrity” by encouraging employees to identify errors and system breakdown. 7. Our decisions to improve will be guided by data, in conjunction with individual care and choice, which includes to input and experience of residents, families, caregivers, health care practitioners, and other stakeholders. 8.

  45. Cause and effect diagram tool

  46. Performance Improvement projects • One of our organization-wide PIPs was regarding hospital readmissions • We began this PIP by looking at best practices and researching tools to assist us • Reviewed data using Trend Tracker • Chose to use Interact tools • Interfaced with local hospitals
