Are we applying the same principles to the ED / patient

flow initiative?

1. Create a Cross

Cross = Patients / families at all levels of decision making

2. Fill in corners of top layer = representation from the entire

continuum of care

One Hoishin (Focus)

3. Fill in the Middle Layer

Fill in the Middle Layer = Analyzing the data & collecting information on better practices

4. Last Layer – Make another cross

Last Layer – cross = oversight

• Computer modeling

• Ongoing evaluation

5. Fill in the edges

5. Fill in the edges = implement better practices based on local

contextED triage

restructuring

Home First

Success !!!
