Key Take Away
Understand the technical aspects of creating a high-performing ED as well as the addressing importance of the cultural aspects of caregiver engagement.
Overview
In most hospitals, more than half of all patients on the inpatient units come via the Emergency Medical Services. If the front door of the hospital doesn’t facilitate great care and a great patient experience (for those discharged as well as admitted), it can be very difficult to recover. Unfortunately, stories about struggling EDs have become the rule rather than the exception across the United States. Additionally, these struggles are only exacerbated by the increased volume finding its way to the ED after the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Throughput (length of stay), door-to-doc times, patient and staff engagement, left without being seen (LWBSs), elopements, inpatient holds, and diversion hours frustrate clinical staff and administration alike. While there are numerous methodologies that can be used to address these issues (Lean, Six Sigma, etc.), it is important to recognize that regardless of the way in which the problems are addressed there are only a handful of habits that are required for an ED to be successful.
Bringing these habits to life requires changing old habits—both organizationally and in the ED. There are two essential aspects of change that must be adhered to if an ED is able to successfully acquire these seven habits—engaging front-line caregivers in the design and considering the ED as a system, not a series of discreet steps. This webinar will walk the participants through the technical aspects of creating a high-performing ED as well as the addressing importance of the cultural aspects of caregiver engagement.

Every process produces exactly what it is designed to produce—not necessarily what it is intended to produce. Unfortunately, many hospitals have designed Emergency Department (ED) processes that have unintentionally built in waste, including unnecessary waits, rework and movement. EDs are the front door to hospitals and yet many hospitals struggle to take care of the patients who come to them for care, creating an unsatisfactory patient experience. In some communities, the percent of patients who register and are triaged and then leave before they’re treated is above 10 percent. Building more ED beds and increasing staffing are expensive solutions that often aren’t necessary.
In this session, participants will learn the connection between the theory behind successful ED transformations and the practice of creating these seven habits in their EDs. They’ll learn from case studies (ranging from Level 1 Trauma Centers and academic medical centers to community hospitals across the country). Participants will learn how addressing key principles required for highly functioning EDs is a patient-focused and staff-driven way to improve performance in the short run and establish a sustainable solution in the long run. Addressing these principles rather than spending time addressing individual/disparate problems in the ED builds the capacity for the team to understand the more systemic, core issues driving overall performance, and enables the team to provide appropriate and timely care to the sickest patients while effectively and efficiently meeting the needs of those who are less sick as well.
