Direction of solution
The four key principles:
A patient-centred, clinically led approach is an essential element of the way forward. The
approach is patient-centred by basing the expectations of the timeliness of care solely on each
individual patients need. It is clinically led by setting the expectations on clinical grounds alone.
The primary objective is to improve patient flow through all pathways simultaneously. By
identifying which task or which resource is most often causing the most delay to the most patients
across the system and through improving synchronisation of resources we are able to rapidly
improve flow without any extra resources.
A focused process of ongoing improvement to balance patient flow is vital. Balancing flow is
entirely different to balancing capacity. This is a common mistake when trying to improve such
systems. We need to identify the few underlying causes that most often disrupt patient flow and
how to safely eliminate them.
