Notas do Editor

  1. Blue belt comes from the blue color of the bambino. As you can see here, only 20% of improvements should come from breakthrough initiatives such as A3 projects and kaizen events. These are what most companies focus on when they first bring in programs like Lean and Six Sigma. They get quick results. We get the opportunity to teach basic tools. But these strategies will only go so far, and left at that, these programs will eventually fail. To realize enterprise excellence, 80% of improvement work should evolve day to day, with staff continually recognizing process problems and failures and having the skills and empowerment to relentlessly work to get better. The Blue Belt program works with department leaders (formal and informal) to develop a daily management program which focuses on getting better every day.
  2. The following model provides a basic structure on what we want to accomplish in blue belt. Strategy Deployment gets us to thinking about the long term goals of the organization and how that translates down to the department in key initiatives to reach those long-term goals. In Information Services you spend a lot of time understanding and accommodating organizational initiatives. When will the next Epic upgrade be installed, what will the timeline be for installation of Optime, etc. IS departmental initiatives must be aligned with the goals of the institution. That part is easy – right? Winning looks like successfully upgrading Epic on March 15th. This goal helps the organization as a whole. But what about the operations of the department? The processes that occur day to day. Blue Belt will challenge you to think about the long-term vision of the department. Can you envision an ideal future state? What changes do you want to make to the overall functioning of the department? Where are you now? Does everyone know what the specific goals are? Does everyone know the “Why” of these specific goals.
  3. Once everyone knows what the specific goals are – how does everyone know the department is right now in relation to those goals? If we are focusing on patient access in our specialty practices – how do we know if where we are on our way to the goal to seeing patients within 14 days of contact? In IS, you have project teams who have developed project timelines. What is your process for knowing if a specific team is behind and needs help. How do you know if another team has capacity? How do you know if you are meeting day to day needs of your customers? Is this information easy to see, or tucked away in a spreadsheet. If you have strategies for people development, for training initiatives – how do you know where you are with those goals?
  4. If our bookings in our subspecialty departments are out 4 weeks instead of 2, what countermeasures can we put into place? This is not just a management problem. Everyone in the clinic needs to own this issue. Do we have waste in our processes that can be reduced to result in an extra appointment slot each day? Are we working hard to fill canceled slots? Are we developing strategies to get our no-show rate down? Are you getting improvement ideas from your staff?
  5. We call this leader standard work, and it can be very challenging to implement. However this portion is vital. It is leaders “going to the gemba – or where the work is being done. It is modeling behaviors, maintaining standards. It includes coaching for improvement.
  6. This is what the model looks like when we put it together.
