- ItemA 10-year journey toward an accountable and sustainable patient-centered care model(2017-06-16) Aguilera, Jose M.; Walker, Kim N.; Xi Omicron at-Large
Purpose: The provision of an accountable and sustainable healthcare system is a major challenge worldwide. The delivery of a patient-centred care model that is accessible, safe, reliable and affordable remains elusive for many organisations. Over the past decade, St Vincent’s Private Hospital Sydney has implemented three frameworks – the Balanced Scorecard, the Magnet Recognition Program® and a revenue cycle management program – to address this challenge and strive towards the delivery of an accountable and sustainable patient-centred care model.The aim of this research was to analyse the financial, clinical and cultural impact of the three frameworks implemented at St Vincent’s Private Hospital to improve its overall performance and sustainability.
Methods: The research design adopted was a modified sequential, explanatory mixed-method organisational single-case study design. The quantitative component of the study consisted of a cost-benefit analysis of the past 10 years of the implementation of the Balanced Scorecard, the Magnet Recognition Program® and a prospective analysis of the implementation of a revenue cycle management program. The qualitative component of the research study comprised semi-structured interviews and focus groups to analyse the impact of these frameworks on the participants’ roles and functions and linking their feedback with the findings of the quantitative component of the study.
Results: The overall findings suggest that the combined impact of these three frameworks may have assisted St Vincent’s Private Hospital in its journey towards an accountable and sustainable patient-centred care model. The quantitative component of the study established that improved quality and safety outcomes, patient and staff experience, and greater efficiencies and savings may have been realised through the individual as well as the combined implementation of these frameworks. The qualitative component of the study explained the varying degrees of understanding of these frameworks by the nursing staff, and how the frameworks may have assisted them in achieving improved performance. In terms of the level of support for the three programs from the nursing staff, the study indicated that the Magnet Recognition Program® received the highest level, which was quite significant. The Balanced Scorecard was second in the level of support received and the revenue cycle management program was third.
Conclusion: Analysis of the individual and cumulative impact of the Balanced Scorecard, the Magnet Recognition Program® and the revenue cycle management program, indicates that using these frameworks in combination may have assisted St Vincent’s Private Hospital in improving its overall performance. In addition, the findings of this research advocate and support the incorporation of these three frameworks into a single, integrated patient-centred care model. However, further research is required to test this proposition empirically.
- Item1000 Days Engagement Model: Promoting positive relational health for vulnerable Māori families in New Zealand(2016-07-13) Richard, Lauralie; University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand; Tau Gamma
Session presented on Saturday, July 23, 2016 and Sunday, July 24, 2016:
Purpose: Whānau Ora is a cultural praxis promoting Māori (Indigenous people of New Zealand) health and wellbeing for whanau (Māori families). Foundational to recent service delivery reforms, whānau-centered approaches still remain poorly translated into current practice and meaningful ways of engaging with whanau often lack empirical grounds. The 1000 Days Trust is a community-led residential program developed with the collective vision of promoting positive relational health and wellbeing for vulnerable whānau in Southland, New Zealand. Here we present a model of engagement which articulates core principles of how relational connections develop and translate into meaningful experiences of engagement for whānau, clinical staff and community partners within 1000 Days. The purpose of this poster presentation is to present the 1000 Days engagement model; a purposefully designed model founded on Māori cultural praxis to inform the development of meaningful connections with vulnerable whānau (Māori families), clinical staff and community partners within a residential program aimed at promoting positive relational health and well-being.
Methods: A descriptive case study is undertaken as part of the 1000 Days collaborative research program. A participatory approach is foundational to the conduct of this research. Semi-structured interviews with whānau (25), clinical staff at the residence (7) and community partners (12) are conducted to describe the relational practice of engagement within 1000 Days. Participant observation is conducted during visits at community organisations, local health and social Government agencies and meetings with community representatives to describe the context within which meaningful connections occur. Data is subjected to qualitative thematic analysis and will be discussed with community partners.
Results: Core interrelated components and processes support engagement practice within 1000 Days: placing whanau needs and aspirations at the centre of services; promoting whānau self-determination and autonomy; developing a culturally competent workforce to support whānau in achieving their goals and connecting with appropriate services in the community; creating early connections with whānau and community partners to build trust and reciprocal relationships; ensuring a presence in the community to raise collective awareness and promote shared responsibility towards whānau health and wellbeing; building interactions with whānau founded on a positive vision of health which focuses on whānau strengths and resources and relies on cultural knowledge and values; strengthening existing relationships between community organisations and 1000 Days to build sustainable networks of supportive and accessible services for whānau.
Conclusion: This study highlights key components and processes of a relational practice of engagement underpinned by local knowledge, cultural realities and context dynamics as a foundation to promote positive relational health for whānau.
