Well so it's actually more grandiose than than than the article even would appear to be.
In a sense, this was a top-down project.
Uh not that we're at the top of the of Providence, but we went to the top of Providence and we basically got their buy-in so that we could mount a lot of different initiatives and quality improvement tactics all of
Which reinforced a new model of quality.
So we we actually got them to affirm that quality at Providence Health requires a good faith effort to do what people actually want to do.
That there's listening, that there's documentation of an actual conversation.
A goals of care conversation.
Other initiatives to make it easier to have and document a conversation about who you would want to speak for you, you know, kind of what we call advanced care planning, those sorts of things aligned with this goals of care conversation.
We made it clear that we were not going to skimp on criteria for quality.
We used, you know, other specialty services definition of quality from the ICU.
From College of Physicians, from College of Cardiology.
And then we made it easy for clinicians to do the right thing.
But we we heard lots, we'll t we'll talk about the barriers.
We heard lots of complaints about not having the time, double not wanting to document all of that stuff.
But we were well prepared with buy-in from the top and a willingness to continue to learn and
iterate and get it make the right way easier that w we were able to, you know, make huge progress.
Well, there were other elements here.
We also early on invested the the institute grew largely in uh data and analytics personnel.
We had a whole uh team for data and analytics and we built dashboards that uh were refreshed very frequently and could show at any level of the organization from the flora or unit of a hospital
To an individual clinician all the way up to a region, to the enterprise, uh show how you were doing uh in terms of getting these conversations documented in the medical record, and how you were doing last quarter or last month, and how they were doing in another part of the health system during the same period of time and what the deltas were.
