for EDs Planning for the future requires an understanding of current and past. A key starting point for a current state assessment is data: process data, key performance metrics, staffing data, patient arrival/mix data, patient care milestones, etc. There are many challenges associated with obtaining the necessary data and we will briefly touch on our experience and strategies for addressing these challenges. In ED process improvement, the management engineer, ED Manager, etc., will be faced with the task of analyzing/mining the data for insights. Excel, MiniTab, SPSS, and other applications are available for this purpose. During this webinar, ProModel will share its data analysis methodologies and demonstrate the use of its Data Analyzer™ (an add-on to BestFit™ from Palisade Corp.) to extract valuable information from data. Whether or not one chooses to also use simulation to model uncertainty to help predict future performance, a current state assessment of data is an extremely valuable first step. Outline of the discussion is as follows: · High level discussion on the value of data mining and analysis. (Basically, what gets measured gets managed) · Questions to ask BEFORE starting an ED Project o The dangers of using benchmarks! · Data requests: what, how much, and in what form? · “Data triage”: assessing what you have · Sample problems encountered, sampled from actual projects · “Patching the holes”: filling the data holes with valuable info, without driving yourself crazy · Use of Data Analyzer™, an add-on to Palisades’ BestFit BDK software that automates data distribution production · Turning data into actionable improvement opportunities o Sample analysis o Sample reports · Critical nature of ongoing analysis and data feeds for CPI; What, how much, and how often? (Simulation will ONLY be discussed in this presentation as a use-point for data). Brian Scott, Ph.D.: Brian joined ProModel in January 2002, and is currently the managing director of ProModel’s Healthcare vertical. Prior to joining ProModel, Brian worked for seven years with KPMG Consulting (now knows as BearingPoint Inc.). He has over twenty years of simulation experience, beginning with GPSS and Simscript simulation modeling in 1981, including over 10 years of experience using ProModel’s simulation technology. Brian also taught Statistics, Calculus, Operations Management, and Simulation at the University of North Carolina.
