The Five Essentials of Quality Improvement Dr Pat OConnor
Scottish Ambulance Service Dr Peter Lachman
CEO, The International Society for Quality in Health Care
Key outcomes of today
• Have fun • Discuss are people at the centre of your
healthcare systems…. patients and families and healthcare teams
• Sharing and learning build on what we have • Your box to go (take away tools) share and
exchange • Make a plan to at least try one new thing you
learned
Key content of The High Five
Improving Access Improving Care Improving Outcomes
• Is everything ....islands of excellence •Where are the bright spots and how do we build on these? • Strong and loose ties
Context
•Understanding self and others-Team dynamic •Mindfulness, emotional intelligence: FEELINGS matter at work •Make the right thing easy to try, easy to do and easy to try!
Making Change Happen
• Improvement science e.g. Model for improvement, lean •Triple aim (patient experience, ROI, improved clinical outcomes) •Community asset management

People at the Center
Are people at the center of your service? ….Staff Patients and carers
Lets hear some examples: Chat to your neighbour share the ways you think people are at the centre of your care system
Changing from
What’s the matter? To
What matters to you?
• Asking what matters• Listening to what matters• Doing what matters
We challenge you to ask the next patient you care for, ‘what matters to you?’

What makes the best care experience?
What makes the best service?
Discuss with your neighbor what is the best service you have every had outside healthcare and why?
People at the centre
Good example you heard Something you need help with
1 Context
• Is everything ....islands of excellence • Where are the bright spots and how do
we build on these? • Strong and loose ties
Professor Paul Bate
Islands of Excellence
• Islands of Excellence in a Sea of Mediocrity• We are good at everything …….just not
everywhere • Good examples of improvement …how are
they mapped how do you know? • Reaching out and encouraging others to reach
in
Looking for the bright spots

Strong and loose tiesHelen Bevan
• In health and care, most change happens through “strong ties”.
• We are influenced to change by “people like us”, with the same background, interests and experiences as us; change is spread peer-to-peer.
• Yet the best opportunities for breakthrough, radical change comes when we also operate through “weak ties”, connecting with people who aren’t in our usual peer group who bring fresh ideas, influences and perspectives.
http://theedge.nhsiq.nhs.uk/the-strength-of-weak-ties/
Context considerations for change
Context
For quality improvement to flourish it must be carefully cultivated in a rich soil bed (a receptive
organisation), given constant attention (sustained leadership), assured of appropriate
amounts
Bate 2014
8 factors of receptive contexts for change
Context within which you work
In your organization what is helping you to improve and what is holding you back?
2 Making Change Happen
• Understanding self and others-• Team dynamic • Mindfulness• Emotional intelligence• FEELINGS matter at work • Make the right thing easy to
try, easy to do and easy to try!
AIM
Is there an agreed aim that is understood by every one in the system?
CORRECT CHANGES
Are we using our full knowledge to identify the right changes and prioritising those likely to have the biggest impact on our AIM?
CLEAR CHANGE METHOD
Does everyone know and understand the method(S) we will use to improve?
MEASUREMENT
Can we measure and report progress on our improvement aim?
CAPACITY AND
CAPABILITY Are people and other resources being deployed and developed in the best way to enable improvement?
SCALE UP AND SPREAD
Have we set out our plans to test implement and scale up, innovate and share new learning to spread improvement everywhere its needed?
SIX Fundamental questions we must ask of all changes we are trying to make
The Science of Influence
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFdCzN7RYbw
Where are you trying to change practice ?
• When you see results somewhere else and try it in your area is it working?
• Again share at your table – when you have been successful in
improvement what did you do?
InfluenceTo achieving balance and demonstrating understanding of the
needs that underpin the position of the other
So you feel…Tell me more…
I understand how you feel…
What can we/you do…?

Conflict
• Competing – assertive and uncooperative, a power oriented mode. Self-interest.
• Collaborating – both assertive and cooperative. Work with others.
• Compromising – intermediate in both assertiveness and cooperativeness. Finding mutually agreeable solutions.
• Avoiding is unassertive and uncooperative. Steer clear of the issue!
• Accommodating – unassertive and cooperative. Neglects own interests to satisfy the other.

Making change happen
What tools do you use share with your neighbour
Making change happen…or not
• Singular piecemeal efforts will not work • Education alone will not change behaviour• Measurement is not change• Exhortation and incentivisation alone work only if
you believe that poor motivation is the root cause of the problem
If you want different results, change the system !

Do It !!!
The test was planned (including a plan for collecting data).The plan was attempted (do the plan). (Make a prediction)Time was set aside to analyze the data and studythe results. Action was rationally based on what was learned.

TO BE CONSIDERED A PDSA CYCLE…
IHI Triple Aim
Better experience
Better health
Great Staff experience
Lower cost
The Quadruple Aim
Reference IHI
Focus on your assets
Needs Assets• Focus on deficiencies • Focus on strengths
• Result in fragmentation of responses to local deficiencies
• Build relationships among people, groups, and organizations
• Make people consumers of services; builds dependence on services
• Identify ways that people and organizations give of their talents and resources
• Give residents little voice in deciding how to address local concerns
• Empower people to be an integral part of the solution to community problems and issues
Focus on what you have
Create the beginnings of an asset map At your table record 3 things that are contributing to improvement share with your neighbor

Measurement for Improvement
3 types of measures– outcome, process and balancing
Pragmatic Actions:• Tests Observable• Bias Stabilised• Just Enough Data• Adapts with Change• Rapid Cycle Change Sequential Tests• Run or Control Charts
The Three Faces of Performance Measurement
Aspect Improvement Accountability ResearchAim Improvement of care Comparison, choice,
reassurance, spur for change
New knowledge
Methods:• Test Observability
Test is observable No test, evaluate current performance
Test blinded or controlled
• Bias Accept consistent bias Measure and adjust to reduce bias
Design to eliminate bias
• Sample Size “Just enough” data, small sequential samples
Obtain 100% of available, relevant data
“Just in case” data
• Flexibility ofHypothesis
Hypothesis flexible, changes as learning takes
place
No hypothesis Fixed hypothesis
• Testing Strategy Sequential tests No tests One large test
• Determining if aChange is anImprovement
Run charts or Shewhart control charts
No change focus Hypothesis, statistical tests (t-test, F-test, chi
square), p-values
• Confidentiality ofthe Data
Data used only by those involved with improvement
Data available for public consumption and review
Research subjects’identities protected

Teaching andawareness
5 Holding the Gains
• Deep and broad understanding of what it takes to sustain change... reliability and resilience in care delivery ..
• Sensitive to operations (Safety II )
• Acknowledge and monitor spread
• Celebrate Success
Starting Labels of Reliability
• Chaotic process: Failure in greater than 20% of opportunities
• 80 or 90 % : 1 or 2 failures out of 10 opportunities(lacks consistent clear understanding of the process, 5 front line process users
can not easily articulate the process)
• 95% or better : 5 failures or less out of 100 opportunities(has some variation but 5 front line users can easily articulate the process)
(These are IHI definitions and are not meant to be the true mathematical equivalent)
Car service
Brakes Tyres Oil Filters
Car 1 Yes No Yes YesCar 2 Yes Yes Yes YesCar 3 Yes Yes No YesCar 4 Yes Yes Yes YesCar 5 Yes Yes Yes Yes
Car service
• Brakes 100%• Tyres 80%• Oil 80%• Filters 100%• Overall 60%
4 times out of 10 you don’t get a proper service
Aim for high reliability
•Regarding small errors as a symptom that something is wrong
Preoccupation with failure
•Paying attention to what’s happening on the front-line
Sensitivity to operations
•Encouraging diversity in experience, perspective, and opinionReluctance to
simplify
•Capabilities to detect, contain, and bounce-back from events
Commitment to resilience
•Pushing decision making down to the front line
Deference to expertise

Be curious always
• IQ – Intelligence Quotient–processing complex data sets and having the mental capacity to problem solve at speed
• EQ – Emotional Quotient–the ability to perceive, control and explain emotions; risk-taking, creating resilience and empathy
• CQ – Curiosity Quotient–inquisitive, open to new experiences, finding novelty exciting
