At Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, errors with IV medication drips and laboratory processing and results reporting were causing serious problems related to effective patient treatment.

After diagnosing and quantifying the problem, a new process was implemented which had a significant impact on customer care. Level 1 discrepancies (<1 ml/hr) fell from 47.4% to 14%. Level 2 discrepancies (1-5 ml/hr) fell from 21.1% to 11.8% and level 3 discrepancies (>5ml/hr) fell from 15.8% to 2.9%.

Left untreated, these types of problems can result in poor customer care, longer treatment and recovery times, increased costs, and reduced profits.

In addition:

• Processing and analysis error rates dropped from about 1 in 100 tests, to 1 in 300 tests.
• Patient satisfaction ratings went up.
• Improvements resulted in a positive financial impact of $339,000 a year due to increased revenue and cost reduction.

Doctors at the Pocono Medical Center were hampered in their ability to treat patients due to not receiving lab results until late morning. Once the problem was identified, a project team outlined and implemented new procedures to speed the lab process.

Within about six weeks, doctors began to receive blood test results by 6 a.m. for critical care patients and by 7 a.m. for all other patients. Project results also extended outside of the laboratory, contributing to a decrease in overall patient length of stay for the medical center.

North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, NY, was experiencing noticeable delays in bed assignment turn around time. This was becoming an ever-growing problem due to increased patient volumes caused by the aging of the local population.

After the problem had been identified and quantified, the Hospital set a goal to reduce the average turnaround time from 226 minutes to 120 minutes.

After an improved process was implemented, average turnaround times dropped to 69 minutes, resulting in improved patient service and satisfaction, improved employee morale, and much more efficient utilization of hospital resources.
