Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center
Patient Throughput and Surgical Services Perfromance Improvement
A 200 bed medical center was experiencing high patient wait times, admission boarding in the ER & OR and wide variance in patient lengths of stay. The Verity team provided an end-to-end assessment of the patient throughput and surgical services processes and identified over 30 separate intiatives to implement best practices and improve performance.
Integrated teams of physicians and staff worked together to identify behavioral and structural barriers. These teams identified simple outcomes, clear solutions, real demonstrations of new capabilities and made the changes happen with shared understanding and visual management boards that provided team members with immediate feedback on achieving the shared outcomes. Key to these improvements were managers who led teh projects using newly trained competencies in behavioral, project management and communication.
Healthcare is a service/people driven industry. By focusing on educating and motivating the managers to help change behaviors and reinforce new consequences, Verity helped the organization to achieve breakthrough levels of sustained performance.
