Taylor & Francis Implementing Patient Safety Addressing Culture
Book SynopsisOver the last two decades across the globe we have seen a multitude of programs, projects and books to help improve the safety of patient care in healthcare. However, the full potential of these has not yet been reached.Most of the current approaches are top down, programmatic and target driven. These look at problems in isolation one harm at a time with simplistic solutions that fail to support a holistic, systematic approach. They are focused on collecting incident data and learning from failure using tools that are not fit for purpose in a complex nonlinear system. Very rarely do the solutions help build the conditions, cultures and behaviours that support a safer system and help the people involved work safely.Healthcare is stuck in a relentlessly negative approach to safety. Those working in patient safety and healthcare are struggling, and books on patient safety to date instruct the reader to continue doing the same things we have been doing for the last 20 years.This book uniquely combines the latest thinking in safety, including creating a balanced approach to learning from what works as a way to understand why it fails, together with the evidence on building a just culture, positive workplaces and working relationships that we now know are so important for safety. It helps people understand how to address issues despite their complexities and improve safety with practical ways to truly understand what day to day healthcare work is actually like, rather than what people imagine it is like.This book builds on the authorâs first book Rethinking Patient Safety which exposed what we need to do differently to truly transform our approach to patient safety. It updates the reader further on the concepts explored in the first book but also vitally helps readers understand the âhowâ. Implementing Patient Safety goes beyond the rhetoric and provides the reader with ideas and examples for how the latest thinking can actually be achieved. It is based on the authorâs personal experience of leading a national culture change campaign in the National Health Service for five years. The lessons arise from helping hundreds of organisations and people rethink and implement a whole new way of thinking about improving patient safety in healthcare.Table of ContentsABOUT THE AUTHOR.

Harry and Malorye provide readers with a front row seat to the most important emerging healthcare system challenges - and opportunities - of our time. We started Flatiron because we wanted to ensure that all cancer patients - not just those with the means and resources - have access to the same cutting-edge research. It is our hope that this book will stimulate discussions around the value of next generation technology in healthcare so that the industry can continue to innovate." -Zach Weinberg, Co-founder, COO & President Flatiron HealthMoneyBall Medicine puts you at the center of healthcare’s new frontier where medicine, technology, information and business are converging and advancing with unprecedented speed and importance. The stakes could not be higher, and I recommend this book for anyone interested in learning more about this truly disruptive revolution in the ever-changing healthcare landscape-Eric Schadt, PhD, Dean for Precision Medicine, Mount Sinai Health System Professor, Genetics and Genomic Sciences at Mount SinaiThe political turbulence focused on what comes next for Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA (Obamacare) public exchange products simply reinforces the fundamentals of health care in the United States. Increased access, increased value, and better patient experience will be keys for all successful stakeholders.In Moneyball Medicine, Harry and Malorye describe the unique confluence of entrepreneurial innovation and the many entrenched and evolving health care components of the health care supply chain, and defines the parameters that predict who will win and who will lose.-Glenn D. Steele, Jr., MD, PhD, Chairman of xG Health Solutions, Vice-Chair of Health Transformation Alliance, and past CEO of Geisinger Health SystemData, data everywhere. Well, historically it’s been everywhere but in healthcare, where our industry has been laggards in distributing, sharing, synthesizing, and analyzing data to make decisions for researchers, physicians, patients, and insurers. MoneyBall Medicine thoughtfully walks us through the change in healthcare which has already commenced. Data will finally take center stage, especially in cancer care.-Mike Pellini, MD, MBA, Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer Foundation MedicineThe explosive force that's transforming healthcare is digital. Harry and Maloyre have aptly captured and described this tidal wave in a compelling compendium of examples and interviews. MoneyBall Medicine lays the foundation for understanding how new types of data will change the way we discover medicines, measure their impact, deploy, deliver and even replace them. -Christine Lemke, Cofounder & President Evidation Health, Inc. As a citizen scientist activist and the mom of children with a genetic condition, I welcome the effect on healthcare of meaningful data, carefully analyzed and appropriately utilized. Moneyball medicine artfully traverses the ever-evolving dynamic landscape and focuses in on the various levers and fulcrums that might make the difference, all the while keeping the consumer in the center.-Sharon Terry, President and Chief Executive Officer Genetic AllianceWe face a perfect storm: A medical profession, reluctant to emerge from principles of apprenticeship and autonomous practice to evidence based approaches, still largely rewarded by volume based payments. And a healthcare industry, which has accumulated legacy structures never designed for efficiency and interoperability. The combination has resulted in an increasingly unaffordable US healthcare delivery system which covers only part of the populous and has outcomes at or below the level of other civilized countries. Expedient and systematic solutions are further impeded by privacy and safety concerns, which have resulted in well intended, but impractical legislation and heavy regulatory burden.

And a healthcare industry, which has accumulated legacy structures never designed for efficiency and interoperability. The combination has resulted in an increasingly unaffordable US healthcare delivery system which covers only part of the populous and has outcomes at or below the level of other civilized countries.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Big Book of Emergency Department Psychiatry
Book SynopsisThis book focuses on the operational and clinical strategies needed to improve care of Emergency Psychiatric patients. Boarding of psychiatric patients in ED's is recognized as a national crisis. The American College of Emergency Physicians identified strategies to decrease boarding of psychiatric patients as one of their top strategic goals.Currently, there are books on clinical care of psychiatric patients, but this is the first book that looks at both the clinical and operational aspects of caring for these patients in ED setting. This book discusses Lean methodology, the impact of long stay patients using queuing methodology, clinical guidelines and active treatment of psychiatric patients in the ED.Trade Review"All clinicians in Emergency Departments espouse to provide care for the whole person, yet those individuals with psychiatric and mental health conditions in EDs all too often find timely and competent care woefully lacking. Similar to the recent trends of integrating mental health services into primary care, this book provides expertise and practical guidance for ED physicians and nurses to increase competencies for diagnosing and treating common mental health conditions. This innovative model of care in EDs proactively and reliably addresses the majority of patients’ psychiatric and mental health needs, and reserves psychiatric consultation services and transfers to psychiatric treatment facilities for those patients who cannot be adequately treated by ED clinicians."Patricia Rutherford, RN, MSVice PresidentInstitute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)"The authors not only have a deep understanding of emergency psychiatry but also of operational improvement. The mix makes this book a needed reference for anyone focused on a patient centered approach for this vulnerable population."Kevin Nolan, Statistician, Improvement Advisor, and Senior FellowInstitute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)"The authors have organized and written a timely and necessary book on the care of the acute psychiatric patient in the Emergency Department. Over 2 million people a year seek care for behavioral health care problems in hospital EDs at a cost of over $4 billion. Behavioral health patients seeking care in the emergency department have the same hopes, needs, and fears as the rest of the patients who present to our EDs for evaluation and treatment. The ED is often an intense and stressful work environment where staff must perform rapid assessments and make swift treatment decisions.ED staff and team members, dedicated, focused, and highly trained, too often feel overwhelmed, burdened and at times even threatened by the need to provide care for behavioral health patients. There is a great deal of variation in ED expertise, training and resource allocation for emergency mental health problems, which can lead to sub-optimal care and negative patient and staff experiences. The management of acute behavioral emergencies and crisis intervention are simply and clearly described in this book. The tactics, tools and techniques outlined here can elevate our approach to emergency department psychiatry and allow our emergency medicine colleagues to rise above our current challenges and frustrations. Balan et al. apply approaches, lessons and insights from both evidence - based medicine and Lean service operations to behavioral health patients, defining best practices and demonstrating the benefits and positive impact on patient care, flow and safety.

Taylor & Francis Ltd PROPEL to Quality Healthcare
Book SynopsisYou got into healthcare because you wanted to help people, but quickly discovered providing high-quality care is challenging. Seemingly impossible demands are placed on you and your team. Some coworkers are constantly complaining; others are in their silos doing only what they must to get through the long days. Collaboration is often lacking, and patients suffer the painful consequences. It's easy to become overloaded with work and overwhelmed with negativity.This is not how the healthcare profession has to be. There is a new science Positive Psychology that studies how people are able to perform extraordinarily well in challenging situations. After a dozen years of research in prestigious medical centers, an evidence-based method for applying this science has been developed. That six step program is PROPEL. You will read stories illustrating the experiences of doctors, nurses and administrators who learned to use PROPEL to transform their professional Trade Review"I worked with PROPEL for years. It’s amazing to me what these principles can do to engage a multidisciplinary healthcare team. The units who used PROPEL saw results such as: increased employee engagement scores, decreased falls, and decreased turnover. People started coming to work happy to be there instead of dreading the issues that were bound to come up. PROPEL changed the way that our teams viewed and solved problems. Problems became an opportunity to improve and collaborate rather than a way of bringing the team down. Staff started supporting each other and work became more like family.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Collaborating for Health
Book SynopsisHealth care is increasingly under pressure. Budget crises are making collaboration and smart thinking essential, while increasing numbers of people with multiple long-term conditions make specialist models of health care increasingly inefficient patients too often go from one specialist to another, duplicating effort and paying too little attention to the bigger picture of their health. Collaborating for Health outlines a solution: community-oriented integrated care and health promotion. Designed to prevent the problems of fragmented care, this approach focuses on building teams, networks and communities for health and care at local level, where it is easier to see the range of factors that affect people's health. With the emphasis on partnership-working between primary care, public health and others, it allows clusters of general practices to share the work of integrating efforts for care and health improvement, and for non-medical organisations to lead parallelTrade Review'This is a powerful book and an important contribution to the literature on integrated care. Its timing is impeccable, coming as it does with the publication of the NHS Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) which are aimed at creating accountable care systems for integrated care and in which system leadership is critical – the raison d’etre for this book in my view. As someone closely involved in STPs, I have found this book immensely helpful. It is essential reading for anyone involved in STPs, particularly in creating primary and community integrated care services at scale. As a minimum, Thomas’ three tier model of long-term conditions management is a winner and should be adopted widely and quickly to improve outcomes and deliver better value. The book not only provides the evidence base for change but also practical support, for example "live manuals" and comprehensive skills checklists. I like the suggestions of ‘seasons of learning and change’ and his model of connectedness (as the link, glue and cell) is memorable. To cap it all the book is littered with enjoyable references to the arts and literature with quotes from Shakespeare, Kipling and others.' – Professor Mayur Lakhani, CBE; RCGP President and GP; Chair of West Leicestershire Clinical Commissioning Group; past Chair of the Royal College of GPs and The National Council for Palliative Care'This is an interesting, important and relevant book that will be a valuable resource for all leaders and change agents trying to change, improve and integrate primary care services and to do so in a system based way. It obviously addresses a key health policy agenda. The text combines expositions of useful organizational concepts, mini cases, practical exercises, references to further sources and visualisations in an attractive and accessible mix. It should be a key reference point for all those seeking to promote community orientated and more integrated primary care.' – Professor Ewan Ferlie, King’s College London, UK'This book and its author, Paul Thomas, are conceptual, practical and wise guides to the health care organizational change we all want. Using stories that make sense and ideas that challenge we are led on both revolutionary flights of inspiring imagination and into grounded lived experiences. The book convinces us that healthy systems are possible and necessary in these challenging times. Paul himself, his journal and inspiring colleagues have been guides for me as I struggle to integrate primary care and public health in community settings. The book is intergenerative as we reach between disciplines and professions to go beyond to a better, more healthy future.' – Professor Peter Whitehouse, Case Western Reserve University, USA and University of Toronto, Canada; Strategic Advisor in Innovation Baycrest Health Center; President, Intergenerational Schools International'If you are looking for a definitive text that will afford both the supporting theory and the practical tools to make brilliant care happen for brilliant people then this is it. People live in communities; they thrive in communities and yet when we talk about health and social care systems we tend to make only paltry reference to the most critical of operating systems – the social economy of families and neighbourhoods. Within these neighbourhoods, co-existing alongside people in their homes, are our primary care colleagues. Has there ever been a better time to utilise and build on the strength and the continuity of relationships that primary care offers? Make great use of this book and draw on the wisdom that it reminds us that we hold. Let us organise our worlds differently and collaborate generously for better health for everyone.' – Siobhan Clarke, Managing Director of Your Healthcare CIC'If, like me, you are frustrated that R&D usually focuses solely on research and you wish to focus on development – this book is for you (although in the spirit of this book they should be as one). If you value trusted relationships in shared care and collaborative health promotion at local, community level – this book is for you. If you wish to be guided by an experienced, highly intelligent and intellectual General Medical Practitioner who is an expert in facilitation and community development and yet, in my personal knowledge of him, does not "lose the common touch" – this author is for you.' – Professor David Colin-Thomé, Manchester Business School, UK, and GP; former National Clinical Director for Primary Care; Medical Adviser for Commissioning and System Reform 'The NHS is facing a massive challenge with increased demand, an ageing population and advances in science and technology. Primary care has always been the jewel in the crown of the NHS and its expansion and development is seen now by government and policy makers as the way to resolve the challenge. Analysis shows it need to expand its offering by a third as described in the NHS England "Five Year Forward View". We need to shift care into the community and support patients to manage their health and wellbeing. Social prescribing in general practice will be one of the key projects along with integrated care. Why is this important for patients? Just one example relates to end of life care, where typically 60% of patients die in hospital and yet nearly all would prefer to die at home surrounded by their loved ones. Supporting patients at home would be a far more compassionate service for patients, deliver great primary care and deliver much better value for money. This book shows us how we can deliver this change with practical examples. It is essential reading for anyone passionate about primary care and the NHS.' – Professor Sir Sam Everington, OBE; GP and Barrister'In the Western world the traditional model of primary care is broken. The foundations for our health services, of demand being curtailed by cure was false. Communities and services need to forge new relationships that are more about "co" than about expert and recipient, to support people to better health and to better use our health service resources. Bringing the talent, insight, research of health service professionals, together with the assets of communities in a collaboration will take a real focus on relationships, and on being adaptable together. This book charts the complex change required from the list-based GP to a population-based health model. It provides a wealth of tools for inquiry and change that support the transition. Start anywhere in the book and go everywhere.' – Professor Rebecca Malby, London South Bank University, UK 'I was struck when I started this innovative book by how applicable it was to my field – education. It quickly became clear, though, that this is precisely the point that is so lucidly made: it is very apparent that we are all part of the same unfurling narrative: this study shows that it is not so much that it’s all about inter-connectivity – there is actually nothing but inter-connectivity. This has important implications for how we set about devising and delivering the school curriculum.' – Paul Stubbings, Headmaster of Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School, UK'Paul is and has always been a passionate advocate for innovation and quality improvement in primary care. A decade and a half ago he was articulating coherently his vision of health care [primary, community and secondary], mental health care and social care professionals working closely and focusing on the delivery of care on populations of 100,000 patients; he referred to this as Local Health Communities. The aspiration was an integrated patient-centred care model with a clear focus on improved communication and team working. This was a very avant garde concept at the time but is now the basis on the NAPC Primary Care Home model and the Multi speciality Care Provider model described in the NHS Five Year Forward View. The fact that the Local Health Community vision is now being realised is a testament to Paul's radical ideas being understood and implemented many years later.' – Professor Raj Chandok, Buckinghamshire New University, UK and GP; Vice Chair, NHS Ealing Clinical Commissioning Group'Thought-provoking! An enjoyable read for professionals through to commissioners and policy makers. Thomas’s book is a major contribution to healthcare and inspires transformational change, especially for care for people with Advanced Serious Illness and End of Life needs. Perfect for GPs and clinicians in primary care, the book provides insight and practical advice on a community-oriented integrated care approach. Using interesting case studies, evidence and reflection exercises throughout, it manages to bring to life strategies and drivers, not merely for the treatment of diseases but to enable local society collaboration for whole population health. Thomas illuminates how dynamic inquiry can be used to enable real-time strategic change. Crucially, the book engages how learning communities can embrace openness in order for learning and change to be the cultural norm. Leaders will not regret experiencing their own adventure when reading his methods to balance their own inner peace when confidence or control of their vision is threatened! In summary, a glorious banquet to feast your eyes and open your minds.' – Catherine Millington-Sanders, RCGP/Marie Curie National Clinical End of Life Care ChampionTable of ContentsIntroductionPart I.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Lean Electronic Health Record
Book SynopsisThe Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a reflection of the way your organization conducts business. If you're looking to make lasting improvements in the delivery of care, you must start with looking at the system from your patient's perspective to understand what is of value and what is simply waste. When you begin seeing in this way, you'll begin building in this way. When you begin building in this way, you'll begin driving improvements in your care delivery. Only then will your EHR be able to support lasting improvements, driving better patient care and outcomes at lower costs.Healthcare organizations are under increasing pressure to improve on all fronts. This can be achieved, but only by changing the very way we look at care. No longer can we look at care just from the organization or provider's perspective; we must start with the end in mind the patient. Compelling case studies, discussed throughout this book, demonstrate that modifying processes and workflows using LeTrade Review"For some reason we thought the Electronic Medical Records would solve all of our healthcare problems. So we misapplied computer solutions to solve problems of bad processes and rigid cultures. Lean management can help by engaging people in improving processes, identifying their real information needs, and making EMR truly value added."-Jeffrey K. Liker, PHD Author, The Toyota Way"Organizations that do not consider the workflows and processes for their EHR will never optimize or achieve highly reliable outcomes. HRO organizations align and invest in their informatics and Lean teams. These teams collaborate together can achieve the triple aim and effective use of the EHR, and happiness of users and patients alike. This book is an important demonstration of these methodologies."-Michael J. Kramer, M.D. – SVP and Chief Quality Officer"Kurt, Ron and Susan have a message: the Electronic Health Record (EHR) can help or hinder the healthcare delivery system. By following the proven methodology detailed within The Lean Electronic Health Record the EHR can be the enabler of better and coordinated care. A must read for doctors and administrators truly interested in putting the patient in the heart of healthcare." - Helen Zak"The Lean EHR is a clear, concise description of the use of Lean principles in a real-world setting. Written in a relaxed, personalized writing style, the authors successfully guide the reader through a detailed Lean process for a very complex project.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Human Services and Longterm Care
Book SynopsisProviding human service through markets is inherently problematic. Quality care is critical and unsatisfactory human service greatly influences people's quality of life. Yet, profit for human service providers is essential for sustainable service provision. This book focuses on striking a balance between human services' need for quality assurance and market providers' need for profit.Trade Review‘This book makes the important point that human services (including long-term care) are very different from other goods and services because the services provided are so heterogeneous and because service quality has such a profound impact on the consumer’s quality of life. The book conducts a comprehensive and interdisciplinary analysis of the market for human services with particular emphasis on the market for long-term care and proposes a novel solution to the market design problem in this sector.’ — Charles Yuji Horioka, Professor, Asian Growth Research Institute‘Based on an integrated approach, this book provides an insightful investigation of the market for long-term care. It offers convincing recommendations toward a more quality-oriented provision of "human" services for the aged, and supports its arguments with a combination of simplistically presented empirical evidence and theoretical discussions that draw from different disciplines, including, most notably, Health Economics and Public Administration. Overall, a must read for academics and policymakers alike.’— Nopphol Witvorapong, Assistant Professor, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand‘Based on the "Care Market Model (CMM)", Yoshihiko Kadoya has produced a path-breaking policy studies on long-term care for the elderly from an interdisciplinary perspective. By taking a model-testing approach and analyzing cases in OECD countries and especially the case in Japan, the integrated discussions of this book provide valuable recommendations for governments in dealing with aging and aged societies. These include the need for governments to implement a model to direct market competition to enhance the quality of services, provide users with service quality information about providers and need to develop a process-based performance measurement for human services. Yoshihiko Kadoya also suggests that the CMM ensures not only efficiency and quality, but also would not be costly for governments provided the gap between the rich and poor stays small when adopting the universal system for long-term care provision. This book is food for thought and Yoshihiko Kadoya welcomes further discussions and refinements from various disciplines.’ — Lee Lai To, Senior Professor and Director of Asian Research Center for International Development, Mae Fah Luang University, ThailandTable of ContentsIntroduction: The Human Service Age and New Economics 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Managing Arts Programs in Healthcare
Book SynopsisA growing body of research demonstrates how the arts including literary, performing and visual arts as well as architecture and design can greatly enhance the experience of healthcare, contributing to improved health outcomes, a better patient experience and lower healthcare costs. This unique book provides an overview of what the arts in healthcare can achieve and how to implement the arts in the most effective manner.Exploring possibilities for innovative program design and implementation from healing gardens through public performances to bedside activities the text draws on examples from a wide range of arts. The book then goes on to look at how programs can be aimed at specific populations and fields, such as children, palliative care and caregivers. This comprehensive book is an invaluable reference for all those studying or engaged in creating, designing, managing and evaluating arts in healthcare programs and initiatives. Trade ReviewEveryone has the right to access the benefits of the arts in healthcare, and this book masterfully points the way. Innovator Patricia Dewey Lambert has assembled an indispensable collection of chapters that clarify parameters for the establishment of much needed arts in healthcare programs and management of organizational policies and practices. As a Registered and Board-Certified art therapist, I’m especially pleased that this volume aptly distinguishes the integrative mental health profession of art therapy and other creative therapies (such as dance, drama, and music therapy) from the arts in healthcare field. But the message is clear –opportunities for all aspects of the arts in health are endless. There aren’t enough practitioners to reach all those in need of arts-related services, and Lambert’s collaborative work aims to change that. This rich resource represents a significant contribution to the furtherance and professionalization of the arts in healthcare, and will surely lead to an increase in training opportunities and creation of programs – in the service of those most deserving of access to the life-enhancing qualities of the arts in all its forms. Donna Betts, PhD, ATR-BC, Board President, the American Art Therapy Association; Research Professor, George Washington University Art Therapy; award-winning author and researcher.A splendid book that will be essential for anyone planning to create, serve in, or administer a healthcare arts program. Full of sound theory and useful guidance.Frederick Foote, M.D., co-founder, Walter Reed Healing Arts Partnership and the Green Road Project Patricia Dewey Lambert’s Managing Arts Programs in Healthcare is a veritable encyclopedia of essential knowledge on the burgeoning arts and healthcare field. Each chapter, written by the leading arts and health scholars, practitioners and luminaries of our time, shines a light on the essential aspects of quality arts and health programs that are meeting today’s demands for patient and family-centered care in America’s healthcare system. This is an important resource not only for new and emerging managers and practitioners, but for seasoned arts and health leaders and advocates, who are interested in fully understanding the multi-dimensional application of the arts in public health policies and practices.Marete Wester, MS, Senior Director of Arts Policy, Americans for the Arts, USATable of ContentsPart 1: Understanding the Arts in Healthcare Field 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Hospital Chaplaincy in the Twentyfirst Century
Book SynopsisThe place of religion in public life continues to be a much-debated topic in Western nations. This book charts the changing role of hospital chaplains and examines through detailed case studies the realities of practice and the political debates which either threaten or sustain the service. This second edition includes a new introduction and updated material throughout to present fresh insights and research about chaplaincy, including in relation to New Atheism and the developing debate about secularism and religion in public life. Swift concludes that chaplains must do more to communicate the value of what they bring to the bedside.Trade ReviewReviews of the first edition: ’The book I wanted to read when I first became a healthcare chaplain. As a novice chaplain, I wanted acquainting with the historical background of my new profession; a handle on the politics behind the emerging professional agenda of chaplaincy; and direction in understanding what spiritual care means in a non-religious environment.’ Reviews in Religion and Theology (reviewer Steve Nolan, UK) ’Swift’s book is for church historians, practical theologians, chaplains, health care professionals, and those embattled in the debate over society’s role in health care. Americans have been privy to a front row seat as politicians, insurance providers, lobbyists, assorted special-interest groups, and medical professionals debate health care in the USA. This is a must -read book if that debate is of interest to you.’ Journal of Religion, Disability & Health (reviewer Willard W.C. Ashley) ’This invaluable book will stand the test of time. Health care professionals will find it a constant point of reference as they wrestle with the issues both locally and nationally. Most importantly, there is a challenge here to the churches to take chaplaincy seriously as the frontier ministry it is.’ Paul Ballard, Cardiff University, UK ’A fascinating book written by a serving chaplain. ... provides a valuable insight into the opportunities and difficulties in 21st century chaplaincy. It deserves to be required reading for all those entering the profession.’ Theology (reviewer Derek J. Fraser) ’[Swift] has ignited the debate about what is truly of value in healthcare chaplaincy and how that value can be appreciated, understood, and evidenced by both the faith communities and by the NHS.’ Journal of Practical Theology (reviewer Mia Hilborn) ’With the NHS facing more and more calls on its resources from an ageing population, chaplains do need to follow Swift’s advice.

Apple Academic Press Inc. Accelerating Health Care Transformation with Lean and Innovation
Book SynopsisVirginia Mason Medical Center (VMMC) was one of the first health care organizations to implement Lean and its methodologies. Other organizations have followed VMMC's lead, but this world class organization still leads in the utilization of innovative Lean tools.Accelerating Health Care Transformation with Lean and Innovation: The Virginia Mason Experience describes how VMMC has systematically integrated innovative structures, methods, and cultural practices into its implementation of Lean. Describing how your organization can create a strategy and build a culture of innovation and learning, it supplies concrete examples that shownot just conceptually, but through VMMC''s actual experienceshow Lean and innovation can work hand-in-hand to incrementally improve and radically transform your value streams.Explaining how to use the voices and experiences of patients and their families to drive improvement and innovation in new directions, the book supplies a clear uTrade Review"Lean sounds mean; innovation sounds risky. But both are at the heart of what people do every day at VMMC. With lucid descriptions and riveting examples, Paul Plsek tells us how this top-rated health care organization created the culture and provided the tools so that everyone can innovate and learn. A treasure trove of insights for all who, like VMMC, strive to provide a ‘perfect patient experience’."—Lucian L. Leape, MD, Harvard School of Public Health"Health care organizations are being asked to do the seemingly impossible: become defect-free by standardizing core processes and reducing waste, while nurturing a culture of innovation. In this superb and highly readable book, management guru Paul Plsek describes how one US medical center – Seattle’s Virginia Mason – managed to achieve these twin goals. He argues convincingly that the goals of "Lean thinking" and innovation are not in tension; rather, when approached the right way, they are highly synergistic. Plsek writes with insight, experience, and clarity, and the book is chock-full of inspiring examples and practical tools. If I were leading an effort to improve the care delivered by my organization, this would be the first book I would distribute to all of my clinicians, staff, administrators, and board members."—Robert M. Wachter, MD, Associate Chair, Department of Medicine, University of California San Francisco"The practical tools and approaches Plsek offers are helpful for health care providers at all levels. This book demonstrates, through the remarkable journey of Virginia Mason Medical Center, what can be accomplished when leadership, Lean thinking, and creative innovation all align."—Maureen Bisognano, President and CEO, Institute for Healthcare Improvement"Few organizations in health and medical care have created a learning system aimed at achieving performance that is better everyday than it was the day before. The system involves every employee, every board member, every patient, and ideas and practices from every industry and geography.

This volume outlines the deep roots, based in Lean quality theory, that can anchor a care delivery group to withstand the blasts and thrive in the gale. It comes from one of the few whole truly know – a rare organization that models the principles, and harvests the results, that will form the next generation of health care delivery. Most important, it addresses fundamentals – the core infrastructure from which any world-class organization grows – at a level of sufficient practical detail to actually be useful to others striving for excellence in the field."—Brent C. James, MD, M.Stat, Chief Quality Officer and Executive Director, Institute for Health Care Delivery Research, Intermountain Healthcare "This is the ‘must-read’ text for anyone in healthcare who is interested in improvement and innovation. It is easy to read, provides lots of stories, and describes how evidence can, and has been put into action through real world examples. Many people will recognise that Virginia Mason has been successfully using Lean methods but most will be surprised by their clever use of both innovation and Lean methods together thus creating significantly more value than using either alone and dispelling the myth that Lean and innovation methods cannot work in harmony. There is a clear message that patients are the number one priority. We see how they actively seek to deeply understand patient’s experiences and how they engage both patients and staff to create innovations that make the biggest difference. To achieve innovation leaders cannot rely on tools and techniques alone, they have to create the conditions that support staff to excel. Rather than putting this into the ‘too difficult’ list we see how Virginia Mason leadership teams have committed to achieving conditions within which innovation can flourish.

Apple Academic Press Inc. The Guide to Achieving STEEEP Health Care
Book SynopsisAchieving health care that is safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable, and patient-centered (STEEEP) is not an endpoint, but a journey. This journey requires a commitment to quality improvement (QI) from the highest levels of leadership combined with the interdependent development of several key components of health care delivery: administration and governance, clinical leadership, quality programs and expertise, data analytics, and accreditation. As each organization travels along its journey, these components must evolve at a common pace. With each component of a given phase of the quality journey firmly developed, the organization can expect to advance to the next phase knowing that the requisite factors are aligned.Winner of a 2015 Shingo Research and Professional Publication AwardBaylor Scott & White Health (BSWH) has formalized its commitment to quality with the adoption of the STEEEP framework supporting the Institute of Medicine''s call for heaTrade Review"For quality leaders who are wondering what to do and how to do it – this book provides the detail that you have been seeking, right down to the level of the types of people to hire, what their qualifications should be, where they should fit in the governance chart, and the nature of their deliverables."—Thomas H.
