Decrease ER wait times – admit the 6SigmaTek way.
How to decrease wait times from your Emergency Department to patient discharge or admit the 6SigmaTek way.
If your hospital is experiencing long length of stay, patients leaving without being seen, patients leaving against medical advise? Here is our high level approach.
1. Provide 6sigmaTek with one year of ED data from your EMR.
2. From your data 6sigmaTek will create an electronic model and analyze the busiest day, time of day, volume of patients ,and acuity of patients.
3. From the data the busiest day and time will be chosen. Then the 6SigmaTek CEO will dress up as a secret patient and present himself with a severe stomach ache. He will have no i.d., no insurance , but will have a cell phone with a Value Stream Map app and will be timing how long each process takes to complete.
4. The CEO of 6SigmaTek will drink a GI cocktail if necessary all while timing each step in your process (not advised).
5. After the ordeal which stops at discharge or patient admit i.e. 6hrs, we will create your real-time Value Stream Map.
6. Once all data is collected for an inpatient scenario , 6sigmaTek starts on the inpatient unit ..we like to work backwards we call this process,” BOB=BIB ( Butt out of bed = Butt in bed bed)” . We focus on the Pull Systems , and the current Kanbans .
