- Patient journey is long, complex, and there are many touchpoints in the healthcare eco system. And Each touchpoint need to have their Purposes
- I am learning that the definition of Purpose is important.
- Having sense of purpose means knowing why you are doing what you are doing.
- The WHAT you are doing are the quality and creating value.
- First need to understand your Purpose.
There is inherent difficulties in coming out with ONE common Purpose even in a hospital because
- 1. Incomplete medical knowledge
- 2. Every MDT stakeholders have their own perspectives, language and philosophy
- 3. Variation in delivery services; personality, skills
- 4. Noise - there are external factors and demands on workers and systems.
- Organisational / high level definition of Value - whether it’s Triple Aim or Value-based
- Triple Aim are - contradictory and competing goals. Hard to achieve
- Value base — whose definition? Is it just cost saving in disguise?
- Each touchpoints have their own value.
- Patient have different values needs at different point in their journey
- Every patient is different, with different needs.. their definition of what is value to them is different from what provider think.
- Defining Value in the boardroom may be separated from actual on the ground reality.
- In this long chain of services, in the patient journey map.. each touch point have their own value to offer to patients..
- Value
- What is it we are doing as an organisation?Overall value
- Which touch point do what for what value?
- What is it, the activity i am doing is valuable for patients?
- overall OS in the organisation that support these.
---
Production systems - there are different types. Job factory, Craft Shop, Batch Jobs .
Important to have the OS that support care.
OS is made up of 4 parts.
The reason why we cannot make healthcare production line because of the stages of knowledge.
There are different kind of care. -
Repetitive care - because we already know a lot about it
Menu Base Care - not very sure yet, offer some choices. Client preference important
Exploratory — really don’t know yet.
