Huddles and Team Meetings
Huddles
• Every Day
• 10 Minutes
• All Teamlet Members and Teamlet Social
Worker
• Identify Priorities for the Day
• Communicate, Clarify, Assign
• Tie Up Loose Ends from Prior Day

Huddles and Team Meetings
Team Meetings
• Once a Week
• One Hour
• Teamlet, Social Worker and Others
as Related to Agenda
• Agenda
Multidisciplinary team meetings to help
manage complex health care problems of
veterans
15
Access: Traditional
• Saturated schedules
• Triage and rework often with high intensity
resource
• Multiple appointment types
• Needs for “urgent”, “routine” and
intermediate not met
• Capacity: Overbook and “over there”
• Continuity: Fine if you wait
7/12/2016
Open Access PACT
Continuity: Every patient sees their own provider/team
member
Capacity: Future schedule is truly open
• Backlog has been eliminated
• Increase non-appointment care
• Increase shared medical appointments
• Right team member engaged with right patient’s
needs
• Right needs addressed by right tool (phone)
Creating Schedule Space
• Work Harder = add capacity temporarily
• Work Smarter = reduce provider demand
– Improve continuity
– Reduce NS rate
– Extend RVI
– Schedule phone visit
– Delegate tasks to others
– Use group visits
– Increase self care
Contingency Plans
• Predict and respond to variation in
demand between days
– Seasons
• Plan for variation in supply between days
– Short Term
– Long Term
• Plan for variation of demand and supply
WITHIN the day
Shared Medical
Appointments
•
•
•
•
•
One-on-one care with observers
15-20 patients in 90 – 120 min.
Patients learn from staff and from each other
Appeals to about ½ of those offered option
Requires substantial planning & help
When to Schedule
an Appointment?
1. Is a physical exam needed?
2. Is this a “relationship” visit?
3. Is there a need for a critical conversation?
The harder the problem, the more valuable the
appointment strategy.
Delivering Telephone Care in PACT
• 30% patient care can be done by telephone
• Telephone Care by all team members needs
to be legitimized, formalized and accepted.
• Scheduled time on appointment grids &
unscheduled visits
• Documentation of Telephone Care via
telephone stop codes, telephone clinics,
coding/encounters and progress notes
supports VERA allocation & workload.
POSTER
Why Secure Messaging?
• 62% of Veteran population have access to the Internet
• Veterans are requesting timely access to their health information
• Veterans want to play an active role in partnering with primary
care providers to manage their healthcare
Goals of Secure Messaging
• Improved Quality: patient-provider partnership promoting health,
wellness, and informed decision-making.
• Improved Veteran Satisfaction: patients’ desire this type of automated
service for enhanced efficiency, convenience, and satisfaction.
• Improved Access: reduction in unnecessary office visits, expansion of
case management and ease of access to services.
• Improved Patient Growth: new generation of veterans are highly
acclimated to the electronic environment
Increase Supply
• Look inside of the appointment
– What is the work?
– Who is doing it now?
– Who could be doing it?
• What is the provider doing that someone else
could do?

The Global Burden of Chronic Diseases
• Chronic diseases are the largest cause of death in the world.
• In 2002, the leading chronic diseases—cardiovascular
disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes—
caused 29 million deaths worldwide
• Global response to the problem remains inadequate
– elevating chronic diseases on the health agenda of key
policymakers
– persuading them of the need for health systems change.
Yach et al. JAMA, June 2, 2004—Vol 291, No. 21
Chronic Disease in the United States
• Affects more than 180 million Americans
• Accounts for more than 75 cents of every dollar
spent and nearly 2/3 of the total healthcare
expense
• By 2030: Anticipated increase in healthcare costs
tied to chronic disease, 25% to 54%
• 45% of the American population have at least one
chronic condition

Practice Redesign Principles
Balance supply and demand for tasks and processes
Synchronize patient, provider, equipment, room, and information
Predict and anticipate patients needs
Optimize staff, rooms and equipment
Manage constraints
Synchronizing to the Appointment Time
How do we get the provider, the patient, the
equipment, the information to an available
room-on time, every time?
