When working on processes consider -
Mapping the key processes as flowcharts
Identifying supporting microsystems and how they interact with core processes
Observing and measuring cycle times—how long process steps take
Professionals
Every member of the microsystem who provides or
contributes to the care of patients should be thought
of as a professional. Learning more about the staff,
what they do, when they work and what they think
and how they rate the workplace is an important part
of understanding any microsystem. A staff survey is
often a good way to find out what would make the
service better for patients and the team.
Patterns
Patterns exist in every microsystem
but often are unnoticed. Patterns exist
in many dimensions and questions to
consider are—
What are the metrics that
matter to this microsystem—
the outcome measures?
What are the trends over
time?
What would you want to change in Renal OPD?

Processes—Gantt
Chart showing
cycle times
Processes
The microsystem members participate in various
processes and steps to care for patients. Often the
team have never taken the time to review these
processes and different views and perspectives
emerge when the team create a flowchart of these
core processes. This lack of knowledge often leads to
waste and unreliability
What are the communication and social patterns within the microsystem?
Do the team meet and review these patterns to improve care?

Assessing Your Microsystem using the 5Ps
‘A one page book’
‘To do things differently, we must see things differently’
John Kelsch, Xerox 1990
The 5Ps framework is a tested and useful method for microsystem members to begin to
see their microsystem in a new way and begin to ask new questions. This process should
actively involve the microsystem team to build understanding and ownership. The
discoveries made in the 5Ps help the team create and select their theme(s) for
improvement. (See resources pg 4)
Purpose
High performing microsystems have a clearly stated purpose and mission. Writing a
purpose statement during the 5Ps allow the team to consider—why does our microsystem
exist? Do we all share a common goal and aim? Active discussion of this connects
individual members with the microsystem purpose.
To promise and deliver
reliable, patient-
centered, evidence
based care for every
patient, every time. (IDCOP Berwick 2001)
To provide an essential clinical support
service to ensure local and regional
patients with an endocrine condition
receive the highest quality clinical
outcomes (EIU, STH 2012)
‘To enable people with CF to live
as normal a life as possible’
(STH CF Team 2011)
Patients
General population knowledge and facts are often not shared by all members of the
microsystem team, even though many will have individual knowledge of the patients they
provide care to. Things to consider are
What subpopulations exist within your patient group?
What are the demographics, age, gender?
Where do your patients travel from?
What do patients think about the service? What do they think we can do better?
What is it like in daily life to have the condition(s) you treat

Do you have any comments regarding the CF Outpatient Service?
”Less waiting around please”“I feel the clinic could do with updating”
“The unit is old-the rooms are small”“Dated room requires some TLC”
“Would prefer it to be quicker”“Not enough rooms as when busy have to wait in waiting room not separate room.”“CF unit is small for the amount of patients…the no. of patients have outgrown the facilities.”
“Written and formalized Annual Review results and summary from clinics allows patients to track own health; essential!”
“A good comprehensive service delivered by friendly & supportive staff.”“All the staff are caring and lovely, even the cleaners. They exceeded expectations.”“Having the new ward has made it a lot easier to stay in hospital.”
“All staff are lovely, helpful, experienced and patient.”“I think the ward is very good, all the nurses were great and made me feel really welcome and the
facilities were really good!”“Outpatient facility could be improved. The rooms are too small and outdated.”“ Not enough Community support”
“long wait for admission – at least 3 days”“Can’t always see the physiotherapist. psychologist and social worker when you want to”

Data sources *PORT CF 2009 Adults
†Leeds guide
‡ NGH data source ¥ This is an average of the % across 5 year age groups from PORT CF with tendency for older patients to receive less DNAse
₣ Unfortunately it is very difficult to accurately determine this from PORT CF since the data field includes chronic macrolides,
but the UK standard is that 90% of patients with chronic pseudomonas should be on a nebulised antibiotic so it is worth us finding these data. I have reviewed a list of those pt in 2010 with label Pseudomonas on port cF. I have then reviewed Lists of
patients on Tobramycin, and again for Colistin & then Promixin and then collated this information on the 3rd table
Notes re data collection
1. PORTCF is not very intuitive
2. PORTCF data is only as good as the data inputted
Outcome Measures?
Social Patterns
• Weekly MDT meeting discusses patients attending
clinic
• Ad hoc but regular consultant communication
• No formal CF leadership meeting (Dr, Nurse,
Management)
• Thank you‘s displayed in Nurse Area
• No regular improvement meeting
