Appendix 155 Table of Tools and Forms © 2004, Trustees of Dartmouth College, Godfrey, Nelson, Batalden 09/02/03 3 Version 2: Rev 4/13/2004 Preface and Acknowledgements Our years of experience in exploring, inquiring, and testing improvement ideas through the Center for the Evaluative Clinical Sciences at Dartmouth Medical School, the Dartmouth-Hitchcock system, Institute for Healthcare Improvement, and health care systems throughout the United States, England, Sweden, and Norway have provided the background of this Clinical Microsystem Action Guide. The people in the clinical microsystem who usually work together with technology support have been generous in their interest and energies to learn with us the tools and helpful information that will increase self-awareness to lead to action plans to improve their clinical microsystem. New knowledge and insights have been added based on this focused research. We are appreciative of the clinical microsystems throughout the US and around the world including England, France, Kosovo, Norway, and Sweden that have tested and given us feedback on the materials presented in Version 1.0 of the Clinical Microsystem Action Guide. Based on our field testing and continued development of microsystem knowledge, we offer Version 2.1. This work will continue to evolve over time as the knowledge of clinical microsystems grows, and as more and more health care systems engage in the discovery of clinical microsystems, success characteristics, and test tools and actions that can be taken to improve the health care delivery system, the workforce environment, and patient care outcomes. We are grateful for the support provided by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for RWJF Grant Number: 036103 that have furthered our experience and knowledge. We would also wish to express our gratitude and appreciation for the support of the high performing clinical microsystem sites in this study that hosted our visits and shared their stories: Bon Secours Wound Care Team Center for Orthopedic Oncology and Musculoskeletal Research (Washington Cancer Institute) Dartmouth-Hitchcock Spine Center Gentiva Rehab Without Walls Grace Hill Community Health Center Henry Ford Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Hospice of North Iowa Interim Pediatrics Intermountain Orthopedic Specialty Practice Intermountain Shock/Trauma/Respiratory Intensive Care Unit Iowa Veterans’ Home, M4C Team Luther Midelfort Behavioral Health Massachusetts General Hospital Downtown Associates Primary Care Norumbega Evergreen Woods Office On Lok Senior Health Rose Team Overlook Emergency Department Sharp Diabetes Self Management Training Center Shouldice Hospital ThedaCare Kimberly Office Family Medicine Visiting Nursing Service Congregate Care Queens Team 11S Whittier Institute for Diabetes Special Thanks We would like to express our sincere appreciation to: James Brian Quinn, PhD, MBA William and Josephine Buchanan Professor of Management, Emeritus, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College for his advice, counsel and continued encouragement of our work.

Brian Quinn, Professor Emeritus at the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration at Dartmouth College, spent several years studying successful service enterprises. He observed that successful enterprises progressively learned to focus on the smallest replicable unit (SRU). Quinn’s theory suggests that all organizations are comprised of small units that function to connect the core “competence” of the enterprise to the beneficiaries of that enterprise. We have adapted this idea for use in health care. His book Intelligent Enterprise describes his findings of highly successful service organizations. He reports that the leading service organizations organized around and continually engineered the frontline interface relationship that connected the organizations core competency with the needs of the individual customers. This frontline interface is referred to as the “smallest replicable unit.”1 We have translated the “smallest replicable unit” concept to health care – calling these units clinical microsystems. We will focus on the clinical microsystem in health care; a population of patients, providers and their support staff, core and supporting processes of care, information and information technology with a common purpose or aim. Microsystems provide a framework to organize, measure, and improve the delivery of care. We have used a variety of terms to describe this phenomenon, as we have become increasingly clear about this: panel management process, patient care pods, smallest replicable units, minimum replicable units, firms, micro-units, and now we refer to them as clinical microsystems. As we have used these terms we have tried to uploads/Geographie/ clinical-microassessment-guide.pdf
