Need for change

ED waiting room…….back then
o Patients physically
segregated from the actual
ED
o Physical and psychological
barrier to patients
o Minimal observation of
patients possible
o Minimal therapeutic
interventions
![Page 4: Piloting A Senior Assessment And Streaming Model Of Care: From Concept To Creation](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54821d3d5806b5ed048b460e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Ambulance corridor
o Waiting room also functions
as a thoroughfare
o Patients feel neglected,
anxious and fearful
o NO added value for the
patient within the waiting
room
o Ambulance OST delays

• Casualties of a sick system
• Julie Robotham Medical Editor SMH
January 10, 2009
• A WESTMEAD Hospital scheme designed to slash costs and improve
performance statistics by getting patients out of ambulances more
quickly contributed to the deaths of two patients, who received sub-
standard care in the emergency department, internal investigations
claim

Co- Design Project 2009
o Involving staff, patients
and carers to identify
current model of care
delivery and process
o Designing improvement
strategies
collaboratively

Patient and carer experiance
“When I came in, I think it was a little bit
long. I would say about 20 minutes,
anything could happen in 20 minutes.
They should have put me straight in.”
(Patient: Co-design project)
“After being assessed
by the triage nurse &
before going into the
Emergency ward I
was in quite a lot of
pain. It would have
been good to have
had some pain killers
and also to have
some privacy”
(NSW Patient survey)
That was very hard because the triage
nurse, she is trying to type your name
& address and I’m thinking can we just
get him in and I can do all of that later.
Then she sent me to the other counter
to register my husband” (Carer: Co-
design
“It was scary, a lot of
things go through
your mind when your
husband is sick. I was
grateful when we go
inside, once on a bed
I felt a lot better, more
secure”Carer: Co-design Project

o Functionality
o Patient safety
o Performance
o Aesthetics of the ED experienceo Analysis of the whole interaction for the
patient/carer
o Impact on clerical, nursing and medical staff
o Importance of project managemento Project plan

Process mapping project
• Delays to triage have been validated in the Emergency Department process mapping exercises
• Variable delays can be 10 minutes to > 1 hour to triage
![Page 12: Piloting A Senior Assessment And Streaming Model Of Care: From Concept To Creation](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54821d3d5806b5ed048b460e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

• Worsening Triage benchmark performance
• High DNW rate
• High ED LOS
• Well known adverse effectso Adverse clinical incidents
o Performance degradation and delays in care
o Staff and morale issues
o Training and recruitment issues
o Patient dignity and privacy issues

Conclusions• 5.2%(6.5%) increase in number of presentations
during the intervention period
• Statistically significant improvement in time to first seen and Off-stretcher time KPI across all categories
• Statistically significant decrease in DNW rate
• Median, 25th and 75th percentiles length of stay was reduced for all patients in 2011 compared to 2010
• Statistically significant LOS changes were noted in ATS categories 3 and 4 (14.3% and 11.8%)
![Page 26: Piloting A Senior Assessment And Streaming Model Of Care: From Concept To Creation](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042813/54821d3d5806b5ed048b460e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Conclusions• Most of the LOS reduction were noted during SAFE-T
hours of operation for ATS categories 3 and 4 (17.9%
and 17.0%)
• Increasing SAFE-T hours of operation to 12 hours will
lead to statistically significant improvements in LOS
for categories 3 and 4 ( 16.5% and 17.3%)
• Positive effects despite significant worsening in
Access block and hospital bed occupancy rates
• Multiple ED throughput measures bundled in a
model of care have significant positive impact on
LOS

• Need to test your MOC in current environment
• Collect data to validate your MOC
• Publish this data if possible
• Provides necessary impetus to drive change
• Provides necessary evidence for your staff and
executive
