Teams trained in-house can be extremely effective.

Benchmarking does not have to involve expensive consultants to be successful, but does require careful attention to training and motivation. The best results come from teams who understand their mission, its contribution to the hospital's goals, and the basics of data gathering and manipulation. Managers must assume leadership of teams and be willing to train other team members.

Patient Safety Leadership WalkRounds.

BACKGROUND: In the WalkRounds concept, a core group, which includes the senior executives and/or vice presidents, conducts weekly visits to different areas of the hospital. The group, joined by one or two nurses in the area and other available staff, asks specific questions about adverse events or near misses and about the factors or systems issues that led to these events. ANALYSIS OF EVENTS: Events in the Walkrounds are entered into a database and classified according to the contributing factors. The data are aggregated by contributing factors and priority scores to highlight the root issues. The priority scores are used to determine QI pilots and make best use of limited resources. Executives are surveyed quarterly about actions they have taken as a direct result of WalkRounds and are asked what they have learned from the rounds. RESULTS: As of September 2002, 47 Patient Safety Leadership WalkRounds visited a total of 48 different areas of the hospital, with 432 individual comments. DISCUSSION: The WalkRounds require not only knowledgeable and invested senior leadership but also a well-organized support structure. Quality and safety personnel are needed to collect data and maintain a database of confidential information, evaluate the data from a systems approach, and delineate systems-based actions to improve care delivery. Comments of frontline clinicians and executives suggested that WalkRounds helps educate leadership and frontline staff in patient safety concepts and will lead to cultural changes, as manifested in more open discussion of adverse events and an improved rate of safety-based changes.

Case six. Introducing product line management in a multi-institutional healthcare organization.

This case reports a major shift in growth orientation pursued by a multi-institutional system--systemwide product line management. Competitive response to one environmental disruption led to the initiation of a year-long study to re-evaluate the corporation's mission, goals, strategies, growth and action orientations and organizational structure in light of the dramatic changes occurring in healthcare delivery. Of particular interest in this case is the connectedness between growth and action orientations, organizational culture, management style and organizational structure.
