Ensure Enterprise Transformation (ET) Results
What it ET?
Why do we need to ensure ET results?
Two ways to measure ET results
How do we measure ET results?
Slide 3 Spring 2014ETM 591 SW/DY Lean Healthcare
Why ensure ET results?
The corporation has invested (time and money) to implement lean in its business unit.
Important to see that the deployment of the lean initiatives achieve the desired results.
Provides opportunities to remove barriers
Identify new opportunities for transformation
Standardize best practices
Slide 4 Spring 2014ETM 591 SW/DY Lean Healthcare
Two ways to measure ET results
Deployment-
The depth and breadth of the enterprise transformation across the organization
A measure of the maturity of the initiative
Outcome-
The organizational impact achieved through the deployment effort.
Slide 5 Spring 2014ETM 591 SW/DY Lean Healthcare
Four steps for measuring deployment and outcome
Develop an enterprise dashboard Develop healing pathway dashboards Develop a tollgate dashboard Conduct regular senior leadership team
meetings to review outcomes and deployment
How do we measure ET results?
Slide 6 Spring 2014ETM 591 SW/DY Lean Healthcare
An enterprise dashboard will include metrics that reflect:
Measures of the overall health of the enterprise
• Clinical quality- unadjusted overall mortality rate• Clinical utilization – total length of stay (LOS)• Labor/Non-labor – overtime as a % of salaries• HR –salary and wages per adjusted discharge• Financial Strength – debt to capitalization ratio
Develop An Enterprise Dashboard (metrics)
Slide 7 Spring 2014ETM 591 SW/DY Lean Healthcare
An healing pathway dashboard will include metrics that:
Are at the highest level, of interest to the senior leadership team
Reflect the key measures of overall health of the healing pathway
Are associated with the transformation efforts
Develop Healing Pathway Dashboards (metrics)
Slide 8 Spring 2014ETM 591 SW/DY Lean Healthcare
It is important to note that these healing pathways analyses and transformations will yield three key deliverables:
a roadmap for transforming the healing pathway from the current state to a desired future state
identification of the outcome metrics that will be impacted
identification of the process that will indicate whether the transformation is occurring as planned
Develop Healing Pathway Dashboards (metrics)

Slide 10 Spring 2014ETM 591 SW/DY Lean Healthcare
12 areas of implementation that are critical to a successful enterprise transformation:
1) Strategic plan and vision
2) Aligning the organization
3) Engaged leadership
4) Enabling infrastructure
5) Focus on value streams
6) Rapid improvement events
7) Engagement in projects
8) Other Lean practices
9) Six Sigma practices
10) Partnering with suppliers/customers
11) Innovative processes
12) Pursuit of perfection
Develop a Tollgate Assessment Tool
Slide 11 Spring 2014ETM 591 SW/DY Lean Healthcare
Maturity of deployment in each of the areas can be measured on a scale from 0 to 3.
Tollgate 0 Traditional non-Lean environment
Tollgate 1 Beginning to adopt the Lean Paradigm Beginning to stimulate a cultural transformation Localized or limited improvement visible at value stream level only
Tollgate 2 Institutionalizing the Lean paradigm on a broad scale Broadly impacting the enterprise’s culture of empowerment and
improvement Positively impacting enterprise performance metrics
Tollgate 3 Self-sufficient Lean enterprise Cultural and performance transformation Operating performance at or approaching world class
Tollgate Assessment Tool Scale (0 to 3)

Slide 13 Spring 2014ETM 591 SW/DY Lean Healthcare
This step is one of the most critical for ensuring the sustainability of the enterprise transformation effort.
Meetings must be held biweekly early in the transformation and can be decreased to monthly sessions later.
Each meeting should follow a standardized agenda.
Must maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of their time by providing an adequate level of administrative and analytic support.
Conduct Regular Senior Leadership Team Meetings
Slide 14 Spring 2014ETM 591 SW/DY Lean Healthcare
Each meeting should follow a standardized agenda, which might include the following items:
1) CEO’s welcome and remarks
2) Review of actions from prior enterprise transformation meeting
3) Review of enterprise operational dashboard
4) Identification of opportunity areas and assignment of responsibility
5) Review of enterprise transformation efforts Deployment High-level outcomes
6) Review of each healing pathway transformation initiative
7) Problem solving and elimination of barriers
8) Evaluation and reprioritization of initiatives as appropriate
9) Action item review
Standardized Agenda (p.84)
Slide 15 Spring 2014ETM 591 SW/DY Lean Healthcare
The healing pathway executive should cover the following:
1) Healing pathway dashboard
2) Key accomplishments to date
3) Barriers to success
4) Any recommendations on the following elements: Team structure Team membership Meeting frequency Leadership Work plan Tracking and reporting needs
5) Help needed from the senior leadership team
6) Next steps
Conduct Regular Senior Leadership Team Meetings
Slide 16 Spring 2014ETM 591 SW/DY Lean Healthcare
Healing pathway analysis (page 77)A structured and facilitated event during which a cross-functional team progresses methodically through a series of interactive and evaluative steps aimed at eliminating waste, eliminating impediments to healing and improving the flow of patients through the healing pathway.
Transformation Summit (page 77) A planning event during which the CEO and senior leadership team plan the enterprise transformation.
Deployment (page 73) The depth and breadth of the enterprise transformation across the organization. It is a measure of the maturity of the initiative.
