Design Process
- Benchmarking
- Site visits
- Projections
- Process maps
- Family Advisory Group
- Simulation studies
Desired Patient and Family Experience
- Get in
- Get the care
- Get out
AND
- Leave with a “good” feeling
The LEAN Approach
- Minimize wait times
- Streamline processes
- Reduce staff and patient movement
- Minimize the number of staff
interacting with the child and family
- Maximize throughput
The Staff Experience
- Pivot RN
- Dedicated team
- Streamlined, distinct processes
- “One-piece” flow
- Reduced que time between providers
- One time documentation at the bedside
- Supplies at the bedside; procedure carts
The Patient and Family Experience
- Immediate placement in exam room
- Provides information once
- Registers in exam room
- Interacts with a dedicated team
- Same exam room throughout visit and
discharge
- Receives a follow-up phone call

Facility Design
- Adjacent to imaging services;
sedation rooms contiguous
- Reception area near Pivot RN
- Supplies at bedside
- Bedside computers
- Rooms accommodate child,
family and staff
- Internal child life space
- Team work space
Simulation Studies
- Supported reduction in #
rooms, size of reception area
- Validated provider and nurse
staffing model
- Corroborated processes, wait
times and length of visit

- Acute Care Model:
Care Streams
- Swarming
- Workspaces for

- Innovations in team
Acute Care Model
A Framework for Quality Care in Emergency Medicine
- Care Streams
- Acuity
- Degree of diagnostic certainty regarding care needed

How Teamwork Supports ED Processes
ED leaders and staff hired early; rethinking pediatric ED care
Key Ideas:
- Spirit of continuous improvement
- Staff empowerment: quality, safety, innovation
- Best use of technology
- Patient flow to contact RN immediately;
eliminate long waits
- Families welcomed and accommodated
Care Processes: Pivot RN/Paramedic
26
Care Processes: Quick Registration/ Rooming
Triage is a process, not a place.
Standard Room Layout and Equipping
- Enhances patient safety
- Enhances staff
satisfaction; staff not searching for equipment and supplies
- Same-handed rooms
Innovative Teamwork: Swarming Technique
- Physician, nurse and medic arrive at the same time
- Used for code/critical care patients
- Used for fast track patients
- Need to have EMR workstations
to support multiple staff simultaneously
29
Innovative Paramedic Roles and Teamwork
- Teamwork ¡with ¡RN’s: ¡pivot ¡desk; ¡in ¡the ¡ED
- Team ¡deployment ¡into ¡pods
- Medications
- Start ¡IV’s
- Splinting
- Suturing ¡
30
Clinical Pharmacist: Roles and Teamwork
- 1.0 FTE dedicated to Emergency Department
- Roving
- Responds to codes and critical care patients
- Helps with medication reconciliation
- Verifies medication orders prior to administration
31
Just in Time Stocking/Blue Bin Supply Process
- Department node with flexible shelving
- “Every patient” supplies kept in room, at lower par
levels
- “Frequent use”, but not “every patient” supplies kept
in carts
- “Low use” kept in carts and totes
