Symptom 2 LPPH is dependent on extremely unstable government paymentsCannot plan availabilty of LPPH services to needy childrenDifficult to make long term plays; difficul;t to find talent; emotional and mental exhaustionFrustration and exhaustion; Live without a sustainable business modelIt has to be a disaster before government will take action; I must keep focus on the mission; I am proud of the place we haveMisalignment between financial resource assignment and human needs; Out of sync.Federal, State and local officials have their own prioritiesAbility to take care of every child regardless of their ability to payMaximize efficiency and effectivenes of existing resources; try to influence the government - Business case outcomes vs. investment for politicians useContantly changing government players; Lack of standardized procedures and processes; Every "product" is customized; Pediatrics is not a priority (small chunk of the healthcare dollar >10%.); No long term thinking in government;Business case ourcomes are a double edged swordDo not plan for future patient needsPlan for future patient needsBuild a best practice system for children now and the futureMaintain Research, Teaching, Wellness and other strong LPPH best practice programsPlan the availability of services to needy childrenDo not map out the projected needs of all children and plan budget for themMap out the projected needs of all children and plan and budget for themIndividual performance and motivation relate strongly to feeling respected Individual priorities are extremely important to individuals and functions
Symptom 3 The various constituencies of LPPH create conflicting demandsI spend time working out compromisesI can't keep focus on the real priorities of the hospitalI am stressed: I work too hardI love my jobEach constituency focuses on its prioritiesThere is no consensus set of priorities for LPPHHave a great hospital; Provide great healthcare for children; Improve operations; Lead the hospital; Prioritize healthcareDevelop a consensus set of prioritiesDonor interests/focus/requests are prioritized; we do not generate sufficient money; Have no methodology to develop consensusSome constituencies may feel left out and no longer support LPPHContinue to work out compromises with diverse constituenciesDevelop and agree on consensus priorities of constituenciesSuccessfully lead LPPH to achieve its missionSatisfy the demands of the various LPPH Constituencies in the bext way possibleKeep focus on the real priorities of LPPHNot develop consensus between the LPPH constituencies nor agree on prioritiesDevelop consensus between the LPPH constituencies and agree on prioritiesAll constituencies can influence my image as a great leader for LPPHUnsatisfied demands of a constituency have a negative halo effect on this group's image of me

Symptom 6 The relationship between hospital management, staff and physician communities is adversarialAs far as possible, they act independently of each other's needsThe hospital functions far less effectively than possibleThere are mistakes, rework; management, staff and doctors complain about each otherThe priority is to make things work, somehowEach community has its own goalsLack of common goalsHospital's financial health; Teamwork; Quality patient care; Develop common goals for staff, doctors and managers; Holistic workshopsIt is difficult to create common goals; People may not see value in the activitiesPeople will revert to old habits; the change may not be sustainableDo not develop common goalsDevelop common goalsHave a well run hospitalAccomplish the day-to-day activities for which each is responsibleRun the hospital effectively, with best utilization of resources in line with common goalsDo not set common goals and focus for doctors, staff and administratorsSet common goals and focus for doctors, staff and administratorsWe must meet individual objectives and goalsAll team members must contribute to team goals
Symptom 7 LPPH cannot afford improvements in new technology and devicesHospital care quality is less than possible;Hospital loses competitiveness; Costs go upComplaints, frustration of professionals; patient insatisfactionThe hospital is quite modern and advancedThe hospital does not generate enough cashThe hospital is inefficient and bureaucraticBecome the leading hospital of the region; Give patients the best care possibleThe hospital applies TLS (TOC-Lean -Six Sigma) to improve processes, reduce costs and increase throughput (outcomes) with new technology and devicesLean has been applied with variable results, no proof that new methodology better; Donations are available for technology and devicesPossible credibility loss if TLS results fall shortFund technology and devices from donationsFund technology and devices from cost reductionFund technology and devices from cost reductionUse existing and proven resources wellKeep hospital up to date and competitiveFund improvements in technology and devices from budget and donationsFund improved technology and devices from cost reduction and productivityThe hospital has an inventory of excellent resources and proceduresOur results will be less than possible
Symptom 8 LPPH is not able to maintain an effective residency program and medical staffThere are insufficient doctorsDoctors are overworkedQuality of healthcare suffers; mistakes are madeIt's a general problemThere is insufficient budget for resident and staff servicesHospital operations do no generate sufficent cashProvide high quality healthcareGenerate cash reducing inefficienciences and waste with TLS; Increase funding for residency programWe don't know how to reduce inefficiencies sufficiently; We don't have TLS know-howTLS may not work and we will have disrupted good hospital proceduresFund residency program within budgetIncrease residency program funding with TLS cost and waste reductionIncrease residency program funding with TLS cost and waste reductionLive within financial means and preserve hospital strengthsHave sufficient high quality health providers and staffHire staff within allocationGenerate sufficient financial resources to pay high quality medical staffThe hospital budget and plan allocates resources fairly and intelligentlyBudget overruns lead to cuts which may have negative effects
Generic LPPH CEO is constrained by strength/structure of constituencies/managementLPPH CEO lacks the support to achieve the organizational goalsLPPH does not deliver superior healthcare; LPPH is at risk; CEO job is at mid/long term riskLPPH has Insufficient funds; Management instability; Internal conflict; Emergencies; StressProblems are common to most healthcare providers; Patients are generally well served; LPPH is one of the best in the regionMost professionals associated with the hospital focus on local and individual goals and measurementsThere is insufficient consensus and knowledge of global LPPH goals, vision and priorities; We are unable to make rapid, consensual change.Provide ever-improving healthcare to patients; Align LPPH constituencies behind current vision; Improve operations and technologyImplement a Holistic Integrated Strategy and Tactic of Continuous Improvement for LPPH; Use the TOC tools to decide what to change, what to change to and how and when to make the change rapidly.Other improvement methods did not work in the past at LPPH; LPPH has no knowledge of or experience with any Integrated, Holistic methodology for focus and consensus; There is not enough C Level time; Vision, Priority and Strategic Discussions cannot be delegated; Significant change should be lead/monitored by C-LevelChange may not be sustainable; Loss of good existing practices and procedures; Loss of CEO credibilityDo not undertake strategic, cultural or structural change initiatives at this timeCommit to, and implement, a holistic integrated Strategy and Tactic of Continuous Improvement for LPPHLead LPPH in providing ever improving healthcare to the community it serves.Respect and consider individual and functional priorities, practices and experienceAlign all the LPPH constituencies behind a single LPPH Vision, Strategy and PlanDo not undertake strategic, cultural or structural change initiatives at this timeCommit to, and implement, a Holistic Integrated Strategy and Tactic of Continuous Improvement for LPPHIndividual performance and motivation relate strongly to feeling respected Individual priorities are extremely important to individuals and functions

LPPH Conclusions
• The TOC Thinking Processes clearly indicate that the key constraint facing the Hospital is the inability to effectively manage rapid change required by the state and the rate of change in the industry
• This leads to the majority of challenges faced by the Hospital.
• The TOC solution for dealing with this is a systematic logical process that creates consensus on what to change, what to change to and how to make the change without jeopardizing the existing strengths
• TOC applications have been adapted to Healthcare around the world over the last 20 years
