Problem Statement: Project Goal:
Concern that the current patient demand at Naval Hospital Jacksonville
Internal Medicine Clinic may exceed the capacity of Internal Medicine
providers was identified during Leadership Rounds in March-April 2015.
During FY15, through 31MAR15, the existing processes in the Internal
Medicine Clinic have resulted in a three day appointment completion rate
of 79%, as well as removal of providers from the appointment schedule to
complete encounters and provider job dissatisfaction.
• Create a streamlined process that reduces patient cycle time and
improves the capacity of the Internal Medicine Clinic to meet patient
demand
• Increase the percentage of Internal Medicine Clinic encounters
meeting the Department of Defense Three Day Completion Standard
Expected Benefits: Metric Baseline Improvement
Goal
Improve capacity of Internal Medicine Clinic to meet patient demand

Voice of the Customer
CPIMS # DON 020401 4
• Patients:
• Patients have to wait past scheduled appointment time when encounter cycle times
extend beyond scheduled appointment durations.
• Support Staff:
• Unique provider preferences for patient appointments can lead to support staff having
to scramble to get patient into rooms
• Providers:
• Providers staying late and needing time out of clinic to complete patient encounters
negatively impacting access to care for some patients.
• Command Leadership:
• During leadership rounds Internal Medicine Clinic providers expressed concern that
patient enrollment level may be greater than provider’s capacity to deliver care.
• DHA:
• Internal Medicine Clinic consistently below DoD standard for timely completion of
encounters.

  • 3. Project Charter 3 Problem Statement: Project Goal: Concern that the current patient demand at Naval Hospital Jacksonville Internal Medicine Clinic may exceed the capacity of Internal Medicine providers was identified during Leadership Rounds in March-April 2015. During FY15, through 31MAR15, the existing processes in the Internal Medicine Clinic have resulted in a three day appointment completion rate of 79%, as well as removal of providers from the appointment schedule to complete encounters and provider job dissatisfaction. • Create a streamlined process that reduces patient cycle time and improves the capacity of the Internal Medicine Clinic to meet patient demand • Increase the percentage of Internal Medicine Clinic encounters meeting the Department of Defense Three Day Completion Standard Expected Benefits: Metric Baseline Improvement Goal Improve capacity of Internal Medicine Clinic to meet patient demand Increase the percentage of internal medicine encounters meeting the DoD Three Day Completion Standard Reduction in provider dissatisfaction 3 Day Encounter Completion 79% Jan-Mar 2015 95% Mean Patient Flow Cycle Times Support Staff-Patient Provider-Patient 33 Minutes 29 Minutes 20 Minutes 20 Minutes Mean Cycle Time Encounter Completion 3.27 Days April 2015 Less than 3 Days Tollgate Planned End Date Actual End Date Primary Metric: Three Day Encounter Completion from monthly DoD DQMC program audit.Pre-Event 29MAY15 19MAY15 Event 26JUN15 09SEP15 Post-Event 17JUL15 12NOV15 Secondary Metrics: Cycle Time: Patient Flow: Patient Check-In to Corpsman Provider Turnover Cycle Time: Patient Flow: Provider Review Patient Info o Proceed to Next Patient Cycle Time: Patient Check-In to Encounter signed in AHLTA Validate 31JUL15 30NOV15
  • 4. Voice of the Customer CPIMS # DON 020401 4 • Patients: • Patients have to wait past scheduled appointment time when encounter cycle times extend beyond scheduled appointment durations. • Support Staff: • Unique provider preferences for patient appointments can lead to support staff having to scramble to get patient into rooms • Providers: • Providers staying late and needing time out of clinic to complete patient encounters negatively impacting access to care for some patients. • Command Leadership: • During leadership rounds Internal Medicine Clinic providers expressed concern that patient enrollment level may be greater than provider’s capacity to deliver care. • DHA: • Internal Medicine Clinic consistently below DoD standard for timely completion of encounters.

Room not cleaned after patient leaves Lots of paperwork Enrollment panels too high Not sure what patient needs at check-in (HEDIS, TPC, ect…) Different providers use different forms. Patient did not complete forms. Too much paperwork Too many patients Not knowing time expectations for encounters. Patients don’t always go to the same exam room Appt go over time. Complicated Patients Appt times not long enough to complete notes Equipment needed for patient not always ready. Forms not always available Lots of paperwork Having to look for additional information Not enough time in appt to complete note. Scrambling to find a standby Equipment needed for patient not always ready. Patients don’t know what to do with forms they fill out. Waiting for labs or other info. Patients have more than 20 minutes of problems. Not knowing why a patient is coming in. New corpsman don’t always know what to do. Staff Turnover Need additional information to complete Assessment/Dx/Plan Unrelated follow on questions Having to look for additional information Clinic Orientation for new corpsmen varies.
