Utilizing Lean Methodology to Redesign Stroke Rehabilitation Team Rounds to improve Efficiencies. Background: The need for a highly-coordinated, specialized team, who meet regularly to discuss the rehabilitation goals and progress is a part of Stroke Best Practice Guidelines (Canadian Stroke Best Practices: delivery of inpatient stroke rehabilitation. 2016). Quantitative measures such as Rehabilitation Intensity (RI), FIM efficiency and proportion of patients meeting the RPG length of stay provide quantitative measures of patient centered care. Staff and Patient satisfaction surveys are a method of measuring the qualitative improvements of our day to day work. The rehabilitation unit at the Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) did not have a consistent process for RPG (Rehabilitation Patient Groupings) availability and team rounds were lasting for over 2 hours which impacted direct patient care.Methods: The team participated in a process mapping exercise, which identified opportunities related to the rounding process. Staff satisfaction surveys and experience based patient questionnaires were conducted. Staff and Patient surveys demonstrated opportunities around pass processes and training. Three sub working groups were formed to address quality improvement opportunities: RPG Processes, Rounds Processes and Pass Processes. Results: Preliminary data shows a change in FIM efficiency from 0.96 to 0.98 as well as an increase in the RPGu2019s available to the team in rounds (54% in 2017/18 Q2 to 80% in 2017/18 Q3). Further measurement to capture the length of time of rounds, RI improvements and the proportion of patients meeting their RPG targets are pending. Conclusion: Improving the efficiency of team rounds processes improves the quantitative and qualitative metrics in an inpatient rehabilitation program.

It’s 1923 in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, where a risky romance between a mistreated young woman and a boxer owned by the mob motivates self-discovery, loyalty toward passions, and a life-threatening struggle for freedom. A mundane life is far from Angelina’s only suffrage. Pitying the monster that once loved her as a daughter is just as much a captivity as his fist to her face. Fear locks her door; daring to dream is her key. For fisherman Vincent, unsought ties with the world of organized crime have him boxing in a speakeasy notorious for its gambling on the fights. To maintain the security and success of his father’s longtime fishing business and the well-being of everyone close to him, Vincent must remain enslaved to a ruthless and powerful mob leader. Face to the Wind is a tender romance, a “jazz-age” journey that unfolds through the eyes of two young lovers with a timeless determination to be together.

Culture--the patterns of values, norms, beliefs, and perceptions that are often the drivers of organizational members' thinking and behavior--is recognized as an important influence on the success of organizational change. This dissertation is a collective case study of four primary care practices implementing the Patient-Centered Medical Home--an organizational change initiative that promotes the ideals of accessible, comprehensive, coordinated, patient-centered care--to examine the relationship between culture and organizational change. Chapter 1 presents the background and motivation for this research. Chapter 2 reviews the prior research and establishes the new contribution of this dissertation.Chapter 3 describes the data and methods utilized in this research. Data collection occurred over two rounds: round 1 occurred after the unofficial starting point of PCMH implementation, and round 2 was collected eight months later. Key informant interviews and surveys conducted during both data collection rounds directly and indirectly assessed organizational members' perceptions of culture and experiences during PCMH implementation. Reports summarizing each practice's PCMH implementation further characterized each practice's change efforts and progress. Development of each case utilized a mixed methods strategy known as concurrent embedded strategy in which interviews were the principal data source and were triangulated with the surveys and reports. Organizational culture has a complex, reciprocal relationship with change that is not clearly understood. To contribute to filling this knowledge gap, Chapter Four presents the results of this research. While some practices made greater progress implementing PCMH than others, none of the practices completely achieved the PCMH ideals. The relationship between the practices and their overarching health system drove integral parts of the PCMH implementation process in all practices. Differing leadership styles, decision-making norms, practice member relationships, organizational-centeredness, and patient-centeredness had varying relationships with the PCMH implementation progress in the practices. Additionally, the challenges of PCMH implementation were related to slight changes in practice culture, including an increased focus on fostering cooperative relationships among practice members, greater adaptability, and exacerbated the disconnect between the health system and practices. The last chapter provides the conclusion to this dissertation. First, it reviews the research aims and summarizes the results. Then, it presents the four main limitations of this study. Finally, it discusses future research opportunities. Further research is needed to understand the utility of the NCQA PCMH recognition program; how to actualize the PCMH model; and the nuances of the relationship between culture and change in varying contexts.
