   State the importance of evaluating the clinical

Model for Improvement
   Micro-systems are
    the building blocks
    that come together to form the
    macro-organization or the macrosystem

     VA       Mesosystem
Microsystem
   The combination of a small team of people
    who work together on a regular basis—or as
    needed—to provide care and the individuals
    who receive that care (who can also be
    recognized as members of a discrete
    subpopulation of patients.)




                       Dartmouth Clinical Microsystem
   A clinical microsystem has clinical and
    business aims, linked processes, a shared
    information environment and produces
    services

   Care which can be measured as
    performance outcomes. These systems
    evolve over time and are (often) embedded
    in larger systems organizations.



                     Dartmouth Clinical Microsystem
   Core team of health professionals

   Defined population of people they care for

   Information & information technology

   Support staff, equipment, environment

   Processes, activities specific to accomplishing
    the aim
g new options for future improvements.
   Purpose: What you do

   Patients: Who you care for

   Personnel: who provides the care

   Processes: SOP‟s

   Patterns: safety, functional status,
   What is the primary goal of your clinical area
    or „microsystem‟

   Mission statement or definition of the area

   What is the unique contribution that it makes
    within the overall macrosystem?
   Who is receiving the care?

   What are the characteristics of the
    patients when they enter your
    microsystem?
    ◦ Who are they?
    ◦ How old are they?
    ◦ What are the top diagnoses?
    ◦ What is their state of health?
    ◦ How did they enter your microsystem?
    ◦ What are their “health care needs”
   Who are the people who are a part of your
    microsystem?

   What is their skill level?

   What do they think about their work?

   What are the characteristics of their work time?
   What types of processes does the
    environment do?



   Think of routines or standard operating
    procedures they you do.

                Costs
   Patterns measure the performance of the
    microsystem. Patterns of:
    ◦ leadership, cultural, traditional workflow

   They gauge the value of care.
    ◦ What types of safety mechanisms are in place

    ◦ Are there meetings to discuss outcomes of care on
      a regular basis?


    ◦ Are there faculty/staff meetings to discuss the
      successes/struggles of the environment?
1.   Providers + beneficiaries

2.   People + Information Technology

3.   People, Work in a setting

4.   Purpose
   You cannot effectively change a system that
    you do not fully understand

   Avoid unintended consequences

   Engagement of members of the microsystem
    or environment

   Evaluating your microsystem is the first step
    to quality improvement
