  1. Robert Monte, RPh, MBA, VAPHS VERC Director Ian Joos, MHA, VAPHS VERC, Program Specialist Veterans Engineering Resource Center (VERC) VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System

  2. Major ProjectsVAPHS VERC • Optimal Management of ICU • Scheduling Multiple Operating Rooms Under Uncertainty • Analysis of Predictors and Development of Scheduling Models to reduce Missed Opportunities • Develop Best Practices for Reprocessing of Reusable Medical Equipment

  3. Organizational OverviewVAPHS VERC • In House Staff • Robert Monte, Director • 2 Industrial Engineers • 1 Data Analyst (vacant) • 1 Program Specialist • 1 Program/Statistical Support (vacant) • 3 OAA Fellows (1 vacant) • Contracted Staff (University of Pittsburgh) • 9 PhD faculty (IE and Statistics) • 3 IE Post-Doctoral Fellows • 2 Clinical Informatics MDs • 2 IE Graduate Researchers • 3 IE Undergraduate Students

  4. Organizational OverviewVAPHS VERC/Office of Systems Redesign

  5. ICU OptimizationVAPHS VERC • Milestones • Develop calibrated simulation model of ICU • Identify sources of historical congestion • Optimize bed utilization of ICU • Explore the effect of patient flow changes Andrew Schaefer, PhD Principal Investigator

  6. OR SchedulingVAPHS VERC • Milestones • Verify, validate and refine OR scheduling model • Create surgical duration predictor • Test different scenarios and study their effect on performance measures • Evaluate alternative scheduling/service strategies Jayant Rajgopal, PhD Principal Investigator

  7. Missed OpportunitiesVAPHS VERC • Milestones • Identify Best Practices from National MO Survey • Conduct Voice of Customer Survey • Data Mining for latent predictors of MO • Six Sigma analysis of MO • Lead National MO Initiative Jerry May, PhD Principal Investigator

  8. VERC-RMEAIMS • VERC Workgroups: • Design and Optimize SOPs. (NEHCEP & VISN 11) • Operationalize the standardized & digitized SOPs. (MWM, VISN 11 & VAPHS) • Life Cycling (VISN 11) • Asset Location & Management / Preventative Maintenance Scheduling (VISN 11 & VAPHS) • Develop Staffing Models to optimize efficiency and quality of work (MWM & VISN 11) • Redevelop RME layouts to reduce error related to human factors [Error Proofing] (Workflow/Handoffs) (VAPHS)

  9. VERC-RMEMission • Improve the quality, reliability and safety of all critical RME • Study, analyze and improve workflow within and outside of SPD for all RME • Reduce variability of RME reprocessing to minimize “defects” • Coordinate efforts between VERCs to ensure optimal use of knowledge, talent, and financial assets

  10. Office of Systems RedesignVAPHS Past Projects • 22 completed Current Local Projects • 6 VAPHS SR Projects • 5 DUSHOM National Improvement Initiatives • 3 Six Sigma Projects Current VISN Projects • VISN 4 Lung Cancer Care Collaborative • VISN 4 Telephone Access Collaborative Current National Projects • Transitioning Levels of Care Collaborative • Cancer Care Collaborative Proposed VERC/SR Projects • Medical Home Initiative • National Missed Opportunity Initiative Systems Redesign Education Experiential Learning MHA Students Graduate School of Public Health
