 THE TRIPLE AIM


Prepared by: GOMEZ, Carrel Dane G.
A. Definition
 Driver of Governmental Healthcare Policy and Funding 
 Framework developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement that describes an approach to
optimizing health system performance. 
B. Approach in line with the IHI Triple Aim - IHI believes that to do Triple Aim effectively, it’s
important to harness a range of: 
1. Community determinants of health
2. Empower individuals and families
3. Substantially broaden the role and impact of primary care and other community based
services, and
4. Assure a seamless journey through the whole system of care throughout a person’s life 
C. Concept Design of the Triple Aim - IHI’s innovation team developed a concept design and
described an initial set of components of a system that would fulfill the IHI Triple Aim. The five
components are listed below:
1. Focus on individuals and families 
2. Redesign of primary care services and structures 
3. Population health management
4. Cost control platform 
5. System Integration and Execution 
D. Three Components of Triple Aim (Berwick et al., 2008; IHI, n.d.)
 Improve the experience of care
- Providers can use real-time data to help clinicians make decisions about patient care, as
well as improve future patient care through the capture and analysis of patient satisfaction
surveys. 
 Improve the health of populations
- Hospitals can identify opportunities for clinical and financial improvement in the
management of specific patient populations.
 Reduce the per capita costs of healthcare
- Whether for identifying clinical variance, streamlining supply chain management or
using real-time data to predict staffing needs, data can be used in a number of ways to
reduce waste and cost for a hospital.
E. Healthcare Reform and the Triple Aim

base and patient-specific assessments or recommendations are then presented to
the clinician for a decision

 Modern CDSS
- Primarily used at the point-of-care, for the clinician to combine their knowledge with
information or suggestions provided by the CDSS and continuous development of those with
the capability to leverage data and observations otherwise unobtainable or uninterpretable by
humans.
 Subsystems
1. Business Intelligence
- Any computerized applications that apply analytical tools, applications, and
methodologies
- The process is based on the process of transforming data to information.
- Formerly known as Executive information systems (EIS): was used as senior
business leaders used multi-dimensional data in either ad hoc or routinely scheduled

1. Quality of care - The degree to which health services for individuals and
populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes, based on evidence-based
professional knowledge
2. Service Line analysis – Analysis of demand factors within a particular healthcare service
line in order to identify areas of strong and poor consumer opportunity.

3. Clinical effectiveness - Doing the right thing at the right time for the right patient by
applying the best knowledge, derived from research, clinical experience and patient
preferences
4. Variation in practice (cost, quality, length of stay, and post-operative complications)
5. Operational effectiveness - Maximizing the efficient use of resources in their business
operations and to improve quality, productivity, or competitive positioning in markets in
which they participate.
6. Improve financial performance
 Differences
1. Reports
- A static view of data at a point in time that shows what happened
- One data source, one view that shows one aspect of the problem or situation
- Validity and reliability issues as each separate analytical system has its own
terminology and description of values
2. Analytics
- A malleable view that can drilldown to indicate why it is happening, and can assist
with determining the root cause
- Multi-phasic views that incorporate data and information from other electronic
systems, such as clinical information from an EHR and financial systems
- One version of the truth” where standardized terminology is used and the process for
producing the analytics is tracked

 MAJOR HOSPITAL SYSTEMS


Prepared by: DESIDERIO, Jozzlyn Marie B.
 Definition
- A hospital information system (HIS) is an element of health informatics that focuses mainly
on the administrational needs of hospitals.
- In many implementations, it is a comprehensive, integrated information system designed to
manage all the aspects of a hospital's operation, such as medical, administrative, financial,
and legal issues and the corresponding processing of services.
- Hospital information systems are also known as hospital management software (HMS) or
hospital management system.
- An information system that facilitates the activities of a hospital takes into consideration:
 the functions of a healthcare facility
 the capability of information technology
 The Major Systems Used In Hospitals
1. Transactional processing systems (TPS)
- A TPS is used for operational management. They tend to be real-time systems, such
as ADT.
- For example, a transactional system would have minute-to-minute census
information. They are used for operations management.
2. Decision Support Systems
- These systems are not transactional, which means that they are not real time. These
systems are used for tactical or strategic management decision.
- Data marts and data warehouses receive data feeds from transactional systems or
operational data stores (ODS) at pre-defined intervals.
- The frequency of data feeds to a data warehouse or a data mart often depends on the
decisions that are being made and how current the data need to be (data latency).
3. Management Information Systems (MIS)
- A MIS consists of transactional data that process patient data.
- It includes document management software, health information management systems
(HIS), microfiche viewing systems, and telephone systems.
4. Data Visualization Tools

- Dashboards and scorecards are examples of how data and information can
be displayed.
- It is important to determine the type of dashboard, such as financial, clinical
outcomes, departmental specific, patient flow, service line, etc.
- Clinical informatics professionals often need to counsel and discuss with end users
which visual application viewing format would work best.

-
Presenting several prototypes and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of
each prototype can be valuable. Some BI experts dislike using pie charts because of
the limitations associated.
5. Rapid-cycle improvement processes
- Combined with visual analytical tools, such as dashboards to allow the teams to track
progress toward the goals over time. Dashboards are an easy means to determine if
the action is working or not and to spark additional questions, which the team can
respond to as they work toward achieving the KPIs

 RAPID CYCLE IMPROVEMENT PROCESSES


Prepared by: LIMCANGCO, Angela Maree D.
 Definition
- Mechanism to promote rapid behavioral changes leading to cultural changes
- Tools used to aid in the goal of Business Project Management, which is to change
behavior through strategies and objectives
- Tests changes over periods of three or months or less, rather than the standard eight to
twelve months
 Rapid Cycle Change
- A systematic problem-solving approach to understand client needs, restructure processes,
and make the most efficient use of available resources
 Processes
1. Plan-Do-Check Act (PDCA)
- A repeated cycle that is used to carry out change
- Used when:
 Starting a new improvement project
 Developing a new or improved design of a process, product, or service
 Defining a repetitive work process
 Planning data collection and analysis in order to verify and prioritize
problems or root causes
 Implementing any change
 Working toward continuous improvement
- Steps:
a. Plan: Recognize an opportunity and plan a change.
b. Do: Test the change. Carry out a small-scale study.
c. Check: Review the test, analyze the results, and identify what you’ve
learned.
d. Act: Take action based on what you learned in the study step. If the
change did not work, go through the cycle again with a different plan. If
you were successful, incorporate what you learned from the test into
wider changes. Use what you learned to plan new improvements,
beginning the cycle again.
2. Six Sigma (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control)
- Data-driven quality strategy used to improve processes that focuses on the
development of new products or services compared to existing ones
- Phases:
a. Define the problem, improvement activity, opportunity for improvement,
the project goals, and customer (internal and external) requirements.
b. Measure process performance.
c. Analyze the process to determine root causes of variation and poor
performance (defects).
d. Improve process performance by addressing and eliminating the root
causes
e. Control the improved process and future process performance.

3. Lean
- A system for developing process improvement that is continuous and has a focus
on reducing and eliminating waste
- Benefits:
 Minimize waste
 Reduce inventory


Increase productivity

Improve quality

Increase customer satisfaction

Reduce costs

Increase profits
- Basic techniques:
 Look at the overall flow of products and services
 Do not focus only on separate technologies and departments but look at
the big picture
 Look at all assets, technologies, and departments involved
 Eliminate waste along the entire process not just separate points
 (Voice of the customer, value stream mapping, determination of the
value-added and non-value-added steps, create or revise processes)
4. Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
- Retrospective analysis of a problem or event—asks a series of why questions to
determine the root cause
- Core Principles:
 Focus on correcting and remedying root causes rather than just
symptoms.
 Don’t ignore the importance of treating symptoms for short term relief.
 Realize there can be, and often are, multiple root causes.
 Focus on HOW and WHY something happened, not WHO was
responsible.
 Be methodical and find concrete cause-effect evidence to back up root
cause claims.
 Provide enough information to inform a corrective course of action.
 Consider how a root cause can be prevented (or replicated) in the future.
- RCA Process
a. Define the Problem
b. Collect Data
c. Identify Possible Causal Factors
d. Identify the Root Cause(s)
e. Recommend and Implement Solutions
5. Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA)
- A tool for identifying potential problems and their impact
- Failure modes: the ways, or modes, in which something might fail, and can be
potential or actual.
- Effects analysis: refers to studying the consequences of failures
- Used when:
 Designing a new product, process or service
 Planning on performing an existing process in a different way
 Having a quality improvement goal for a specific process
 Trying to understand and improve the failures of a process
- Process:
a. Define the topic
b. Assemble the Team
c. Graphically Describe the Process
d. Conduct the Analysis
e. Identify Actions and Outcome Measures
 (Process maps current state, identify process failures, estimate effect
of identified failures, identify top reasons for failure, and take risk
mitigation steps)

Prepared by: GOMEZ, Carrel Dane G.
A. Definition 
- It is a strategic process that is intended to achieve results, produce outcomes, and change
behavior. 
- Synonymous with “performance appraisal” which requires more than an annual
performance, and is in fact an ongoing and rewarding process. 

- ‘Action, based on the performance measures and reporting, which is directed to improving
behavior, motivation and processes’ (Radnor & Barnes, 2007: 393).

B. Steps in Performance Management 


1. Planning 
- The first step of the performance management process 
- The groundwork for success is laid down, this involves the overall strategy for the
business. 
a. The defining stage - HR and management need to define the job itself, including
a comprehensive description, long and short term goals, identify key objectives
and develop a clear metric for how those objectives and goals will be assessed. 
b. The feedback stage - once management completed the defining stage,
employees should have the opportunity to give input on this material. 
c. The approval stage - management and employees both agree to the definition of
the role, goals and objectives. 
2. Monitoring
- Key function in achieving the goals set out in the planning stage. 
a. Organize meetings on a timely, regular basis - the monitoring process is
extremely important and must be done on a regular basis. Meetings should be at
least quarterly, although monthly meetings are the ideal. 
b. Provide necessary training, coaching and solutions - should focus on solutions
and coaching opportunities, rather than punitive measures for lackluster
performance. 
c. Solicit feedback on both sides - management should be able to give - and -
receive honest feedback and work with employees rather than adopting a
combative stance. 
d. Revisit objectives as necessary - this step involves reviewing the overall
performance of the employee, and how well the process itself worked. 
3. Reviewing
- Chance of management and employees to evaluate both the final result and the process
itself. 
a. Reviewing employee performance - held to look at how well the employee
performed over the span of time. There should be a clear record from previous
check-ins to show the employee’s progress throughout the year. 
b. Reviewing the performance management process - it is important for both
management and employees to look over the previous year and see how well the
performance management process worked. 
c. Reviewing overall goal completion - it is important to look at both smaller and
larger goals, as this can give an indication to problem areas where training or
interventions can be applied. 
d. Giving actionable feedback - key part of the review - to give and receive
feedback.
4. Rewarding 
- The last step in performance management process 
- A step that cannot be overlooked, as it is the one that is the most important for employee
motivation. 
a. Reward and recognition - absolutely key - employees will not stay motivated if
they are given no reason to. This does not necessarily have to be monetary,
although it likely will include monetary compensation. 
b. Setting the stage for next year’s performance management cycle - the end of
the performance management cycle where management and employees are given
one last chance to offer feedback on the process as a whole and asks for thoughts
and feedback for the planning stage for the next year’s cycle.

C. Coherent Programs in line with Performance Management Approach
1. Goal Setting 
 Evaluations of goal setting have shown that if an employee believes that their goals are
important, they become the standard against which their performance will be measured,
and if they receive regular feedback, their performance will improve (Locke et. al 1981;
Bandura & Locke 2003).


The evidence is clear that the goals need to be “SMARTT”. Performance goals need to be
Specific, Measurable, Attainable but challenging, Relevant and recorded, and have a
Timeframe for achievement, and be Trackable or easily monitored (Mealiea & Latham,
1996: 35).
2. Performance Measurement and Reporting 
 The intent of the balanced scorecard (BSC) was to provide a ‘balanced’ picture of
performance which contains balance of indicators focusing in different content areas, as
well as balance between short-term and long-term indicators. Balanced scorecards have
been enhanced to incorporate strategy maps that illustrate the link between key
performance indicators and their impact on the achievement of the organizational strategy
(Kaplan & Norton, 2000).
3. Performance Feedback
 Suggests that managers need to conscientiously avoid a win-lose mindset, and focus on
the desired behavior, providing examples and detailing how to improve (DeNisi &
Pritchard 2006), rather than emphasizing the person or the undesired behavior (Latham et
al., 2005).
 It is clear that feedback is more readily accepted if it is delivered by someone whom the
recipient trusts and believes has good intentions (Manzoni, 2002).

 System Flow
 Information System Planning
 Information System Design
 System Analyst Toolbox
 Organizational Fragility

 DEFINITION OF COMPLEX HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS THROUGH THE SYSTEMS


THEORY
Prepared by: GOMEZ, Carrel Dane D.
A. General Systems Theory
- A system can be defined as a set of interacting units or elements that form an integrated whole
intended to perform some function (Skyttner, 2001).
- Provides a general language which ties together various areas in interdisciplinary communication.
B. Types of General Systems Theory
 Open Systems
- Goal seeking
- As simple systems interact, they are synthesized into a hierarchy of increasingly complex
systems, from subatomic particles to entire civilizations (Skyttner, 2001).
 Complex Systems
- Way of information flows through a web of channels that depends on the technology used,
organizational design, and the nature of tasks and relationships (Clancy & Delaney, 2005).
 Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS)
- Exhibit specific characteristics that are different from simple systems and the terminology
used to define them may be unfamiliar to healthcare providers.
- Special cases of complex systems; the key difference being that a CAS can learn and adapt
over time (Clancy, Effken & Pursuit, 2008).
C. Principles of General System Theory and its Application in Nursing
 The principle of wholeness
- Provides guidance or methodology to us in order that we can study all kinds of objects
effectively
 The principle of optimization
- To achieve an optimal state in certain condition and to perform its best function by
organization and coordination
 Local effect must obey whole effect
 Insisting multipolar optimization
 To combine the Absoluteness and relatively of optimization
 The principle of modeling
- To design a model similar to a real system first, then to describe and understand the
characterization and level of the real system by studying the model.
 Concrete Model
 Abstract Model
 Structural Model
 Functional Model

 Definition
- The complex system interactions, branching, activities and decisions that systems execute
- Without flow, a system cannot exist and to survive, it must evolve in a direction that
improves its access to designs that improve the flow of currents through them

 Long and fast flows


- Movement of information flow at a faster rate and through longer distances in wider or
larger channels
 Short and slow flows
- Branching out and creating smaller channels causes the movement of information flow to
slow down and travel shorter distances
 Development of queues
- Delayed information flow as a result of:
 Poorly designed systems
 Burdensome processes and policies
 Mismatch between “short and slow” and “fast and long” information flow

 INFORMATION SYSTEM PLANNING


Prepared by: LIMCANGCO, Angela Maree D.
 Definition
- The process of determining and analysing information requirements and integrating those
requirements with overall organizational objectives
 Information System (IS)
- Interrelated components working together to collect, process, store, and disseminate
information to support decision making, coordination, control, analysis, and visualization
in an organization
 Information System Plan
- Guide organizational activities, and serve as a means for evaluating results using the
rapidly advancing information technology
- Takes into account both the short and the long term views in order to properly allocate
resources as well as support the information needs of an organization
 Levels of Information System Planning Process
1. Strategic Planning
- Establishing the relationship between the overall organizational plan and the IS
plan
IS Planning Activity Related Operations
Assess organizational characteristics  Review the organizational strategic plan
 Identify the organizational objectives and strategy
 Assess the organizational environment
Assess IS environment  Assess the current IS capabilities
 Assess the current application portfolio
 Application Portfolio: refers to an
organization's collection of software
applications and software-based services
 Evaluate the stage of IS maturity in the
organization.
Identify IS strategic opportunities  Identify the role and importance of IS in the
organization
 Identify the applications with strategic relevance.
Set IS strategy  Set the IS objectives, set the IS mission and
strategy
 Set the IS charter

2. Organizational Information Requirements Analysis (Tactical Planning)


- Identifying broad, organizational information requirements to establish a strategic
information architecture that can be used to direct specific system development
project.
IS Planning Activity Related Operations
Determine information requirements  Define the current and projected information
needs.
Assemble application portfolio  Evaluate the organizational needs, and identify
relevant IS project
Formulate IS architecture  Identify the resources needed, and formulate the
overall architecture (hardware, software,
communications, facilities, etc.).
Rank projects  Rank the IS projects according to relevant criteria
3. Resource Allocation (Operational Planning)
- Allocating both IS application development resources and operational resources
IS Planning Activity Related Operations
Evaluate anticipated results  Assess benefits for each project.
Assign development priorities  Review the potential benefits, estimate the time
needs
 Develop a priority scheme for IS projects based on
projected results.
Plan for resource allocation  Develop the IS plan (hardware, software,
personnel and facilities)
 Develop the annual financial plan
 Develop the specific time tables for various
activities.
 Wicked Problems
- Problems encountered that are difficult or impossible to solve because of incomplete,
contradictory, and changing requirements
- Characteristics:
 Very difficult to define or formulate
 Not described as true or false, but as better or worse
 Have an enumerable or exhaustive set of alternative solutions
 Inaccessible to trial and error; solutions are a “one shot” deal
 Unique and often a symptom of another problem
- Exists because practice patterns vary, each provider wants the system customized to their
workflow, thus imposing an enumerable number of alternative solutions
- Solution: Engage all stakeholders, find those who are most affected, and formulate a
common agreed approach

 INFORMATION SYSTEM DESIGN


Prepared by: LIMCANGCO, Angela Maree D.
 Definition
- The designer takes the system-requirements document created in the analysis phase and
develops the specific technical details required for the system.
- Business requirements are translated into specific technical requirements
- Develops design for the user interface, database, data inputs and outputs, and reporting
- End Product: System-design document that contains everything a programmer will need to
actually create the system
 Types of System Design

1. Structured Design
- A set of prearranged procedures performed to convert the logical specification into
a design that can be implemented on the organization’s computer system
- Also known as detailed design or internal design
- Goals:
 Convert the structured specification into a reliable, maintainable design. This is
similar to the process of converting a building model into a blueprint.
 Develop a plan and budget that will ensure an orderly and controlled
implementation of the new system. Procedures must be devised to get the
hardware in place, the programming completed, the training conducted, and the
new system operating.
 Develop an implementation test plan that ensures that the system is reliable,
complete, and accurate. A plan must be developed to test the system to ensure
that it does what the user wants it to do.
 Develop a user manual that facilitates efficient and effective use of the new
system by operations and management personnel. Personnel must know how to
use the new system effectively, and the information processing staff must know
how to operate the system.
 Develop a program that ensures that users and support personnel are
adequately trained.
2. Agile Design
- An iterative process, which starts from the first stage and moves towards the last
stage.
- The goal is not to create a deliverable, but to improve the design in each iteration
- The stages run in parallel as the functionality is divided into small parts that can be
delivered independently and are worked on simultaneously
- Practices:
 Architecture envisioning - Light-weight modelling at the beginning of a
project to identify and think through critical architecture-level issues.
 Iteration modelling - Light-weight modelling for a few minutes at the
beginning of an iteration/sprint to help identify your team's strategy for that
iteration. Part of your iteration/sprint planning effort.
 Model storming - Light-weight modelling for a few minutes on a just-in-time
(JIT) basis to think through an aspect of your solution.
 Test-first design (TFD) - Write a single test before writing enough
production code to fulfil that test.
 Refactoring - Make small changes to a part of your solution which improves
the quality without changing the semantics of that part.
 Continuous integration - Automatically compile, test, and validate the
components of your solution whenever one of those components changes.

 SYSTEM ANALYST TOOLBOX


Prepared by: LIMCANGCO, Angela Maree D.
A. Flowcharts
 Definition
- One of the most basic tools used by system analysts to describe the flow of entities
(information, patients, and providers) in a process.
- Flowcharting software can be found as a stand-alone commercial product or as a feature in
word processing, spreadsheet, and project management software
B. Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) Tools
 Definition
- A suite of software applications used for systems design and analysis.
- Improve communication, integrate life cycle activities, and are used extensively in the design
and implementation of new applications
C. Discrete Event Simulation
 Definition

-
Utilizes mathematical formulas to show how model inputs change as a process
evolves over time
- Typically built visually using standard flowchart symbols
- Simulated entities (people, patients, information) as they move through individual steps
- Allows analyst to quickly communicate the flow of entities within a process and compare
differences in workflow after the introduction of new technology
- Ideal for agile design projects because processes can be quickly modelled and analyzed prior
to testing
D. Network Analysis
 Definition
- Network analysis combines theories from sociology and information science (network
theory).
- The unit of measure is the pattern of relationships that exist between entities and the
information that flows between them
- The field characterizes entities as “nodes” and the relationship or link between them as “ties.”
- The pattern and strength of ties between nodes is then plotted on a graph where the flow of
information can be analysed

- These tools measure information centrality, density, speed, and connectedness and can
provide an overall method for measuring the accessibility of information to provider

 ORGANIZATIONAL FRAGILITY
Prepared by: LIMCANGCO, Angela Maree D.
 Definition
- The effect of organizational complexity when it decreases both the quality and financial
performance of a health system, thus, creating an exponentially negative impact when
unexpected events take place
 Definitions in Fragility:
1. Fragile
- Does not like volatility
- Essentially everything in the modern economy
- Tend to break ruinously when subjected to just a bit too much stress, which is a
highly nonlinear response, because up to the point of breaking there is often little
indication of a problem
2. Antifragile
- Likes and requires volatility (randomness, stress, etc.) to stay healthy or to get
stronger
- Uses stressors in the environment as fundamental information that allow the
organization to make minor adjustments
- Combats black swan events
3. Robust/Resilient
- Resistant to volatility but not Antifragile because this does not improve or grow
because of stress
4. Black Swan event
- A low probability, but high impact event that cannot be predicted, but they can be
anticipated
- Mitigated by prediction, prognostication, and risk management
 Characteristics of Antifragile Organizations
 Systems thinking
- Everybody in the organization knows the goals of the organization and makes
sure their work is directly contributing towards these goals
 Theory Y Management
- Management needs to assume employees are anti-fragile, self-motivated and will
be able to learn how to solve problems themselves
- Give employees autonomy, purpose, and the opportunity to learn and master new
skills
