10 Recognising the need to minimise the burden of support The most challenged trusts often receive support from a range of sources including NHSI, consultancies and other trusts. If this support is not properly prioritised and coordinated, rather than helping it can make the situation worse. This is why NHS Improvement has been piloting an approach with a small number of trusts to streamline our interactions and coordinate all of our work through a single Executive Sponsor, supported by a Relationship Manager.

11 NHSI SUPPORT OFFERS Support is built around each trust The Executive Sponsor and Relationship Manager help the trust s leadership to coordinate various types and support and report into more streamlined oversight meeting.

12 Improving NHS productivity: understanding acute sector quality and efficiency - Approach and what we have learnt so far Phase 1: Initiation Phase 2: Implementation Phase 3: Learning 2 weeks 3 months Executive Sponsor and Relationship Manager works with each trust to: Assess financial, quality and operational issues and identify improvements desired over 3 months Perform a stocktake of existing interventions and professional services interventions in each trust and and form a view on whether these continue, are modified or stopped Identify any additional input needed from NHSI or elsewhere Agree the improvement objectives and delivery plans over 3 months Adjust existing governance arrangements if necessary Any necessary recalibration of existing work Mobilisation of any new work with trusts Implementation of plans and monitoring of progress against objectives Progress meetings with trusts Review of outcomes Evaluation of approach Discussion with trust on next steps Early feedback Trusts and NHS Improvement s own staff feel that coordination has improved and there is a better understanding of priorities Trusts would like to get more involved in shaping this approach for future waves

13 Beliefs Weak process is at the heart workplace frustration and efficiency Enormous potential locked in the processes of every organisation Lean principles key to unlock this potential Staff and patients see this potential everyday but don t have a method to release it Lean is just a method to allow them to release this potential Believe in Safety then Quality then Productivity then Cost improvement in that order 13

14 The Eight Types of Waste Type of Waste Brief Description Hospital Examples Defects Overproduction Transportation Waiting Inventory Motion Over processing Human potential Time spent doing something incorrectly, inspecting for errors, or fixing errors Doing more that what is needed by the customer or doing it sooner than needed Unnecessary movement of the product (patients, specimens, materials) in a system Waiting for the next event to occur or next work activity Excess inventory cost through financial costs, storage and movement costs, spoilage, wastage Unnecessary movement by employees in the system Doing work that is not valued by the customer or caused by definitions of quality that are not aligned with patients needs Waste and loss due to not engaging employees, listening to their ideas, or supporting their careers Surgical case cart missing an item; wrong medicine or wrong dose administered to patient Doing unnecessary diagnostic procedures Poor layout, such as a catheter lab being located a long distance from the ED Employees waiting because workloads are not level; patients waiting for an appointment Expired supplies that must be disposed of, such as out-of-date medications Lab employees walking miles per day due to poor layout Time/date stamps put onto forms, but the data are never used Employees get burned out and quit giving suggestions for improvement
