Abstract

Much of informatics has been concerned with computer systems. Informatics took a broader view during the Fifth International Nursing Informatics Symposium Post Conference in Austin (1994) as Henry et al, captured the essence of informatics as being "imperative for assessing the quality of care provided and analyzing effectiveness of nursing interventions across settings and population". At York Central Hospital (YCH), Ontario, we realized the need to work differently, to keep what's good about what we do and still meet the changed needs of health care. We also realized it's about getting everyone close to the patient. We used a reengineering process to help us achieve that goal. This paper describes how models and techniques commonly used in reengineering can be used for assessing and analyzing the quality and effectiveness of the service provided to the client.

Using a unit assessment tool to optimize patient flow and staffing in a community hospital.

BACKGROUND: Hospital environments are too often characterized by delays for patients receiving diagnostic testing and prolonged waiting times to complete needed therapy. Frequently there is confusion in scheduling, related at least in part to the complex interplay of clinical acuity and highly individualized care. Luther Midelfort recently began to change the process of patient flow to improve access to care, optimize outcomes by enabling timely intervention, and decrease the wasting of resources. UNIT ASSESSMENT TOOL: The hospital developed a unit assessment tool based on the traffic light concept, which consisted of an assessment of current capacity and a graded, color-coded "workload tolerance" for each hospital unit. Each unit can instantly update its own status and query those of other work environments in the hospital. EXPERIENCE WITH THE UNIT ASSESSMENT TOOL: For most of the January-July 2001 period, there was generally a progressive decrease in the percentage of time that the units were coded as red (unit closed to new admissions), with concurrent increases in the percentage of time that the units were coded as green (unit open). Use of the tool appears to have contributed to a dramatic increase in staff satisfaction. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS: The key to regulating patient flow has been to adopt a nursing-initiated capping trust policy whereby nurses are given the authority to limit new admissions. Initiatives are now under way to provide different units with novel models of resource sharing, ranging from flexible housekeeping to "flying nurse squads" to assist units that have become red.

The incidence of nonattendance at an urgent care dermatology clinic.

Nonattendance in dermatology clinics remains a burden on clinic efficiency. Nonattendance rates have been measured in an urban university-based dermatology clinic and are significant. The nonattendance rate in a dermatology clinic dedicated primarily to new acute problems is not known. We hypothesized that the nonattendance rate would be minimal in an urgent care setting. We measured the incidence of nonattendance in a university-based, urgent care dermatology clinic. The clinic is held once weekly for patients with new skin problems. Almost all patients seen in the urgent care clinic are first-time patients. We tabulated clinic attendees and nonattendance, including same-day cancellations, for 508 consecutive patients seen over a 10-month period at the urgent care clinic. We then determined nonattendance rates for the group and by payer type. The total nonattendance rate was 23.9%. The percentage of patients who failed to appear was 21.9 and same-day cancellation was 2.0. The highest nonattendance and same-day cancellation rates were noted in HMO-based programs. The lowest rate of nonattendance was in the Medicare-based program. The nonattendance rate in a dermatology clinic dedicated to new skin problems was similar to that reported in a general dermatology clinic and correlated with payer type. In addition to factors identified in previous studies that affect clinic attendance, the rate in this study may reflect spontaneous clearing of patient-identified skin problems.
