With unprecedented change on the horizon, healthcare organizations are looking to redefine their workflows to focus on quality and efficiency.
Through utilizing SIMUL8 and Lean Six Sigma principles, ECG Management Consultants, Inc. has been able to help clinics and health systems to deliver on the new value proposition in the post-reform era.
Lance Millburg, Senior Lean Six Sigma Project Manager talks us through how Memorial Health System built their simulation team from the ground up into a nationally recognized program in 2 years.
Researchers and care providers wanted to have access to all of the patients` vitals signs (temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate) but most of this data wasn?t recorded, only a few readings a day were posted to the patients Electronic Medical Record (EMR). The EMR isn`t meant to store such volume of data, let alone to perform any data mining on it. This session will describe the architecture of the solution that was implemented to collect these vital signs automatically from Bedside Medical Devices (BDMI), and store them into a temporary storage, then load them into a Hadoop cluster. The session will also cover how the team married this vital signs data in the HDFS (Hadoop File System) with the rest of the EMR data for our Principles Investigators (PI) in our research institute to search for correlations between administered medications, diagnosis, and vital signs readings. The session will describe the reasons behind the design decisions that were made, such as using a Cloud Hadoop cluster versus on-premises while maintaining HIPAA.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

5. Fundamental Paradox
• Current movement for healthcare emphasizes the
importance of individual patient-centered information
• On a macro level, information is meant to flow and support
decision making between the set (any given patient
population) and the statistic (the individual patient)
• Meaningful use describes a series of information flows
associated with fully implemented information systems
• Current information solutions suffer because inefficient
interfaces interfere with meaningful use as well as with the
care of individual patients
6. Historically
• HCIT developed to enter and archive information
• Retrieval was secondary, even though retrieval is a central aspect of
clinical workflow
• Initial idea
– A “photo” of the chart
– Avoid lost charts and notes
• Next, Retrieval of Information
– Called “reporting”
– Like “analytics,” a separate “function,” or module
• Thus, clinician workflow not traditionally a primary concern
• Evolving HCIT architectures intended to overcome the “siloed”
modules and offer an integrated approach to information entry,
analysis and retrieval
7. Meaningful Use Policy
• A defined term with specific meanings
• An incentive strategy yoked to the current governmental healthcare
reform initiatives
• Creates a particular infrastructure
• Establishes priorities
• Carrot and stick
• Assumed
– Universally relevant
– Workflow indifferent
– Predicated on letting institutions change to meet the template, not
vice versa
• More “policy” driven than “functionally” driven
8. Compare to Hospital Workflow
• Definition
– A set of routine or routinized activities
– Meant to accomplish certain ends
– Extends across medical, nursing and other hospital personnel
– In most cases, workflow develops bottom up rather than top down
– Exceptions include OR and ED
• “If you have seen one workflow, you have seen one workflow”
9. Compare to Hospital Workflow
• Workflow very difficult to change because
– Many aspects of workflow are implicit, and not called out
– Interconnections are deep, extensive , subtle and powerful
– Existing workflow routines generally work pretty well and can be
monitored for QA purposes.
– Routinized workflow leads to [deeply] embedded protocols and
vice versa
• Good way to bring on new staff
• Routine is believed to reduce variance
• Reduction in variance is linked to improved outcome
• This is a central tenet of healthcare reform
10. ED Caregiver Workflow Requirements
• Paperless Chart
• Real-time Documentation
– Nursing
– Physician
• CPOE
• Allergy Verification
• Real time bed board updates
• Medication Administration Checking
11. Key Solution Requirements
• Provides fast access to information
– Estimated logons per day: 50 to 70
• Delivers consistency in performance
• Enables mobility
• Addresses HIPAA concerns
• Standardizes the user experience
• Most importantly, the caregivers like and will use the system
12. What Does the Ideal Interface Between
Workflow & Technology Offer the Clinician?
• Rapid access (sign on/sign off)
• Efficient use of time
• Simplicity
• Security
– HIPAA compliance
– Physical security
• Indifference to underlying HCIT system, architecture, modules
• Mobility
• Context sensitivity
• Other benefits
13. Why the Workflow/Technology Interface is
Critical
• Meaningful Use as currently construed has three major components
– The support of certain specified functions such as CPOE
– Monitoring the use of the HCIT and proving it is used
– Monitoring and reporting other hospital operations
• Utilization is critical
14. Why the Workflow/Technology Interface is
Critical
• At the level of the individual physician, nurse or hospital staff member,
only two ways to ensure the use of HCIT
– Incentives and sanctions
• Affect morale and productivity
• Patient suffers
– An inviting interface that facilitates utilization by resolving
impediments to or incorporating workflow
• These interfaces can be inviting, enabling or off-putting
15. What Does the Ideal Interface Offer the CMIO,
CMO, and the CIO
• Ease of installation and upgrade
• Simplicity of use
• Scale
• Indifference to underlying system and EMR
• Indifference to hardware platform
16. What Does the Ideal Interface Offer the CMIO,
CMO, and the CIO
• Enhancement of underlying systems
• Improved utilization
• Improved morale
• Improves the workflow of all hospital personnel
• Data entry and data retrieval
• Acceleration of Meaningful Use process
• Measurable cost benefit

• Caregiver Experience
– Logged on to network once in the morning
– Any place they moved, they have access to their
complete desktop and applications in just a few seconds
– Doctors and nurses were leveraging dual-factor
authentication every-time
– Thought: “a computing system designed for the doctors

and optimize workflow
• Meaningful use is a window: workflow is a mirror
– Clinical decision support across all platforms
– Seamless interoperability
– Cost effectiveness
– Combine standard of information availability with ability to
customize
