Veteran’s Health Administration Scheduling System - The Pathway to High Reliability Realization
Introduction:
Timely access to services is the gateway to patient safety and quality. Scheduling is the foundational step to providing access to care that is highly reliable. The redesigning and reimagining of effective and efficient scheduling strategies are dependent on an evidence-based approach that focuses on the critical drivers of the scheduling system in supporting the needs of the Veteran and providers related to access, patient safety and quality.
Understanding the opportunities and limitations of scheduling systems is critical to successfully enhancing access to services. To move the maturity of the VHA healthcare ecosystem forward, VHA measured and validated a scheduling improvement initiative to support the access to care strategic benefits. Predicated on the documented and deliberate transparent methodology use, VHA created the pathway to optimization for high reliability of delivery services for Veterans and providers.
- Public and private health care system participants who seek to be highly reliable in their operational as well as clinical efforts to improve access to care enterprise wide will learn from the VHA scheduling continuous improvement initiative.
- Participants will gain an understanding of the VA assessment methodology used to validate benefits realized and limit risks of scheduling system improvements.

Leaders Transforming Health Care: Activating Operational Excellence though Trust and Change Management
Introduction: Operational excellence in healthcare is defined as delivering improvements in care quality and safety by the everyday, ongoing use of continuous improvement techniques that are driven and owned by staff.
The COVID-19 pandemic and its overwhelming impact on hospitals and healthcare workers have led to the deferment and postponement of many improvement efforts, which is understandable.
In addition, we know that disasters tend to exacerbate system weaknesses that already exist. So, what steps can healthcare leaders take to activate operational excellence? Establishing trust, demonstrating leadership commitment to these continuous improvement efforts and change management practices and tools can lead the way to activating operational excellence. While there are additional significant High Reliability Organizations (HRO) principles and actions leaders can take, this session will focus on 2 of the fundamental actions of trust and change management.
Healthcare organizations that have adopted the elements of establishing trust and change management in their process improvement efforts, have benefitted from the resilience of an empowered staff. Thus, building the capacity and capability to continue to activate and support operational excellence in challenging times. The session topics include 3 high level steps that leaders can take toward activating operational excellence.
Topics:
1. Understand the Center for Transforming Healthcare’s High Reliability Model
2. The senior leader’s behaviors and roles in leading and supporting operational excellence
3. Establishing trust and change management in leading organizational and cultural transformation
