Learning Objectives
• To describe the importance of physician engagement in quality improvement (the “why”)
• To describe the challenges and barriers to truly have physicians lead quality improvement (“the what”)
• To identify strategies to enhance physician engagement (the “how”)
#HASummit14 4
Exercise Objective: To build the tallest self-supporting structure with the contents of one box of Tinker toys.
1. Each group has exactly 3 minutes to plan their work.
2. During the planning phase, there can be no assembly of parts, even for practice. Pieces can be looked at and handled, but cannot be connected to each other.
3. At the end of the planning phase, all pieces go back in the box with the lid closed.
4. At the signal, you will have exactly 40 seconds to assemble your structure.
5. At the end of the construction phase, all team members will step away from their structure. The structure must stand alone, without resting on any other object and without personal assistance, for 30 seconds.
6. Each team should attempt to draw upon the principles of team work and good management in planning and executing this assigned task.

Healthcare RevolvesAround Physicians
Opening line…
“The words “alignment” and “coordination” have been tossed about as the government and the healthcare industry wrestle to provide more value for every healthcare dollar spent. Under those words, every strategy to fix the problem revolves around one thing: physicians.”
HealthLeader's Media Breakthroughs. Aligning Hospitals and Physicians toward Value. Dec. 2009. In collaboration with PricewaterhouseCoopers.
#HASummit14
Engagement matters
• 75-85% of the decisions that drive quality and cost are determined by physicians
• Gallup reported at one health system, outpatient volume increased +17.5 for engaged physicians in the top quartile for improved engagement.
• Disengaged physicians in the bottom quartile, their outpatient volume declined -11.7%.

The Challenge
• Almost every aspect of physicians’ lives is changing or seems uncertain
Autonomy
Income
Social stature
• Physicians are going through something akin to the stages of grief
Most are beyond denial
Many are stuck at anger
• How do we get these physicians to play a positive constructive role in the needed change?
#HASummit14 11
The Realities of Engagement
• The physician is at the center of health care delivery
Ordering drives most health care actions
Physician engagement is a key component to successful quality improvement (QI) projects.
• The physician's focus is primarily on their own practice or quality of care
The physician’s goal and hospital’s goals and incentives may not be aligned
Lack of commitment (time, support) to system improvements
• Personal responsibility for quality is powerfully engrained in physicians.
#HASummit14 12
Systems Issues
• Physicians are too busy
• Physicians are not compensated for their help
• Poor knowledge management support
• Malpractice issues
• Lack of meaningful measurements
• Poor data analytic support
#HASummit14 13
What Won’t Work
• Isolated simple measures combined with good intentions
Inspirational speeches
Appointing physicians to key leadership positions
Financial incentives for improvement
Sharing of best practices

#HASummit14 15
Focus on What We are Trying to Create• We spent too much time talking about what’s wrong
with healthcare
• We need to spend more time talking about what we are trying to create
• That future vision has to be something important and noble
It could be better for patients- and just might be great
It is more important than the concerns of any of us as individuals
To imply otherwise would be to mislead our colleagues
#HASummit14 16
First question: Engagement with What?• Traditional definition – extent to which clinicians see their own
futures as intertwined with those of larger organization
Want MDs to be “loyal” with referrals
Want them to be cooperative
• Needed- a modern concept to unlock transformation of healthcare
More than agreement not to sabotage – but to actually integrate care, be creative, and relentlessly push for better outcomes/ experience and efficiency
Engagement with other care givers in real teams
Engagement with community of colleagues so that peer pressure actually works
Engagement with greater goals of organization

#HASummit14 19
Levels of Physician Engagement
• Confidence: Physicians believe that the hospital can always be trusted to consistently deliver on it’s promises.
• Integrity: Physicians believe that the hospital always treats them fairly and will satisfactorily resolve any problems that might occur.
• Pride: Physicians feel good about using the hospital and hospital use reflects upon them.
• Passion: Physicians view the hospital as irreplaceable and as an integral part of their lives and their practice of medicine.

Scenario 1
• Situation: Hospital management wants to implement a quality initiative to decrease the rates of Elective Deliveries before 39 weeks.
• Background: Other initiatives were imposed on physicians which changed their work load and work flow through increased documentation and time burdens on the MDs. The programs were generally not successful and caused tension and mistrust of administration.
• Setting: A hospital administrator is trying to get convince physicians on board with this program.
