WHAT IS A KEY DRIVER DIAGRAM (KDD) AND WHY IS IT USEFUL?

A KDD is a pictorial representation of a system that displays our theories about how to improve an established aim or outcome. It is useful in the following ways:

It creates a visual road map for all organizations and stakeholders It creates a common vision of what we are trying to accomplish It documents our theories and ideas of how we think we will reach our aim It allows us to keenly focus on what we have agreed to… It keeps us

focused on the vital activities we need to accomplish our goal

Practice Key Driver Diagram

Defining “Reliability” The measurable capability of an object to perform its intended

function in the required time under specified conditions. (Handbook of Reliability Engineering, Igor Ushakov, Editor)

The probability of a product performing without failure a specified function under given conditions for a specified period of time. (Quality Control Handbook, Joseph Juran, Editor)

The extent of failure-free operation over time. (David Garvin)

The capability of a process, procedure or health service to perform its intended function in the required time under existing conditions.*

For example, how often (capability) does developmental screening (process) occur (intended function) now (existing conditions)

Our goal is to ensure that the right thing happens every time because our practice has the systems in place to accomplish our goals.

Definition of Reliability for Health Care

*Institute for Healthcare Improvement

“Reliability” = Number of actions that achieve the intended result ÷ Total number of actions taken

% of visits where ADHD care occurs when and how it is supposed to

Failure rate = 1 – “Reliability” 60% performance of implementing ADHD guidelines means failures

occur 40% of the time

It is convenient to use failure rate as an index, an order of magnitude 10-1 means that 1 time in 10, the process fails to achieve its

intended result

Quantifying “Reliability”

It is not practiced by the entire organization No one is keeping track of “failures” (or changes in

reliability) Systems are not documented It is not ingrained into the culture and reinforced in staff

meetings, hiring decisions and orientation to new staff

A System is Unreliable When:

Chaotic process: Failure in greater than 20% of opportunities Level 1: (10-1 ) 80-90% Reliability. (1-2 failures out of 10) Level 2: (10-2 ) Approximately 95% Reliability. (<5 failures out of 100) Level 3: (10-3 ) Approximately 99% Reliability. (<5 failures out of 1000)

Starting Definitions of Reliability

Our current data indicate that our ADHD care processes are not very reliable

Team focus on the outcome goal Working harder Feedback of information on performance Awareness and training Standardize decision-making (e.g., guidelines)

Level 1 (80-90%) Reliability

Standardize using orders sets, protocols Work harder next time Feedback information to team on compliance Awareness and training

Level 1 Concepts

Examples of Level 1 Reliability Team focus on the outcome goal: Team aim and goals. Working harder: Better team collaboration Feedback of information on performance: Monthly

measurement and feedback of results Awareness and training: List of commonly used

community resources, training staff in new roles Standardize decision-making: Practice-wide guidelines

Real time identification of failures Checklists and observation Redundancy Making the “right thing” the “easy thing” Standardization of process

Level 2 (95%) Reliability

Examples of Level 2 Change Concepts Standardize Process: Clear staff and MD roles in

ADHD care for each point of contact Make it easy to do right: mehealth prompts to

indicate time to initiate a follow-up Vanderbilt screening Default to the appropriate option: Parents and

teachers receive the Vanderbilt scales whether a physician orders or not.

Redundancy: Two people verify that patients have been notified for a follow-up visit

Checklists: Diagnosis and follow up parent conversation checklist

Real-Time ID of Failures: Daily review of no shows and plan for follow-up

Additional Level 2 Examples

Level 3 (99%) Reliability Preoccupation with failure: Real-time awareness of failures (daily

monitoring of process), “Process Owner” (who is responsible for registry)

Reluctance to simplify interpretations: learning from each failure and from those doing better.

Sensitivity to operations: staff wiling to remind each other about ADHD processes and utility of registry

Commitment to resilience: response to failures positively! (they are gifts!)

Deference to expertise and experience: Avoidance of strict “Top-Down” culture. Everyone can speak up and state what is happening

Reliable systems for ADHD… important to start with the end in mind

mehealth portal is designed to assist your practice in moving along the reliability continuum

Rest of today will focus on testing strategies to implement reliable systems

CQN will continue to build a repository of tools, resources and approaches to improve reliability
