Root-Cause Analysis Made Simple The global pandemic has certainly allowed us to examine our operational processes as a whole and inspired us to seek change and improvement within our departments. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services along with other regulatory authorities are encouraging a focus on systemic change within an organization to practice process improvement in areas such as infection control, nutrition services and even procedures related to visitors and outside vendors. One of the easiest ways to elicit systemic change is to do a root-cause analysis to determine the most efficient way to achieve success.

While root-cause analysis sounds somewhat intimidating, it is really just like peeling back an apple to get to the core or finding the roots that are causing the branches. You are finding the true reason that processes or behaviors are occurring and setting yourself up for sustainable improvement. Most importantly, root-cause analysis is a method of problem solving that allows leaders to navigate what is causing the problem and not just jump to what is perceived to be a solution.

Let’s work through an example so we can see how root-cause analysis really works!

Julie Miller RDN, LD, Martin Bros.

Implement Root-Cause Analysis

1 Identify the problem.

The problem statement is a general observation.

Do not overthink it.

Example: Employees are not washing their hands as often as they should.

the problem using a unit 2 Describe that can be measured.

This is perhaps the most challenging piece of rootcause analysis. To eventually show improvement, you must have data to compare it to. This measurable unit can be a frequency of occurrence, a measure of resident feedback, a temperature taken in the kitchen, a percentage of meals consumed, etc. Whether the data is collected subjectively or objectively, the key is to make sure you can track your outcomes. Once you determine your baseline (where you are at), you can determine a goal (where you want to be).

Example: Employees were observed washing their hands correctly 5 out of 7 times. The employee handwashing success rate is therefore 71%. This is unsatisfactory. Our goal is to have a success rate of at least 75%.

Conduct an interview-based 3 investigation.

The investigation is the key piece in root-cause analysis. We want to figure out why, for example, the handwashing success rate is only 71%. There are many best practices when conducting the investigation. Here is one example called “5 Why Analysis”.

Example:

“5 Why Analysis” After you observe an employee using incorrect handwashing procedures, ask “why” five times to attempt to get to the root cause.

1. Why didn’t the employee properly wash their hands?

The employee didn’t dry their hands with a paper towel.

2. Why didn’t the employee dry their hands with a paper towel?

The paper towel dispenser was out of paper towels.

3. Why was the paper towel dispenser out of paper towels?

The employee that used the last one didn’t notify a manager.

4. Why didn’t the employee notify a manager that the dispenser was out of towels?

The employee feels uncomfortable going to the manager.

5. Why does the employee feel uncomfortable going to the manager?

The manager is struggling with work-life balance and is not displaying the most inviting attitude.

It is clear that, in this case, there are issues that need to be resolved beyond hand hygiene training.

4

Form an action plan for improvement based on what is “in control”.

When forming an action plan, choose a few things that you are in control of and that you can work to improve. Action plans usually include a description of the goal, what will be done and a time frame to which it will occur.

Example: Management will write thank-you notes to help acknowledge employee performance two times per month.

Monitor and work to sustain 5 success.

Regularly check in on action steps and overall improvements to the process.

Example: Management has been keeping up with their thank you-writing goal. Employees seem to appreciate the thank-you notes. The handwashing success rate has gone from 71% to 75%.

Overall, root-cause analysis is a small piece to a large puzzle. Process improvement is not always straight forward and requires a variety of methods to get from point A to point B. While root-cause analysis can seem like a lot of work, it is the most efficient way to determine what is getting in the way of achieving a goal. dish! | martinbros.com | 3

Senior Living

Setting Guidelines for Reopening As states turn their attention to reopening senior living communities to visitors, there are a lot of challenges that will arise. As you work towards the goal of allowing loved ones into your communities, consider the following as a starting point for creating your plan.

Set Guidelines • • •

Establish a safe place for visits.

Establish protocol for safe visits.

Establish cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing practices that follow CDC requirements.

Establish a Safe Place

• A safe place starts with a visitor screening point.

• A good screening point may be an entryway or an office area close to the designated entry/exit.

• Choose one location or a limited number of locations for visits close to the designated entry/exit.

• Outdoor visitation is a great option this time of year and can allow for easier adherence to social distancing and safe visit guidelines.

Establish Cleaning, Disinfecting & Sanitizing Practices

• Use a cleaning task checklist to ensure proper procedures are being followed.

• Touch points should be disinfected after each visit.

Establish Protocol •

•

•

•

•

• •

• • •

Visitors should be required to wear face masks and should always be screened upon entry.

Determine how many visitors will be allowed per resident and the length of time each visitor is allowed to stay.

Decide if you will have an age limitation for visitors, such as only those over 18.

Decide if you will allow visitors to bring in gifts, food, etc. If so, do these things need to go somewhere to be disinfected prior to giving them to the resident?

Decide if Visitors should only be allowed during certain hours when staff can screen them and disinfect areas after each visit.

Decide if Visitors should only be allowed by appointment.

Email screening questions prior to visit or ask questions upon entry. Keep these questions and answers for documentation.

Follow visitors screening guidlines.

Post signage to keep visitors in safe areas.

Have staff escort visitors after screening to ensure they are keeping to safe areas.

Culinary Concepts

Food Service Planning During Challenging Times So, how do you plan, schedule and prepare during these challenging times?

Here are some tips: •

Supporting local business is an important cause for many people right now. Talk to you distributor representative about any local product options that would fit well on your menu.

•

• Challenge yourself to see how you can use all of

your protein items in multiple dishes.

• With markets being all over the board, it’s a great

time to talk with your distributor representative • about any specials that are currently being

offered that can be efficiently incorporated on

your menu.

• Use this time to focus on items that are easy to

prepare and that offer reduced waste and higher

quality.

To-go will need to be a focus for some time to come. Many people simply will not feel comfortable dining in for the foreseeable future, and many people are so busy that to-go is a way of life for them. Therefore, to-go is a good thing to make sure you are doing right.

• Scale back your menu to give yourself fewer variables and better control of waste and quality.

•

Look at the items on your menu and the ingredients you are purchasing. Can some ingredients be cross-merchandised – served multiple ways on your menu?

Social distancing will also need to be a focus for some time to come. There are many things to consider in order to help your staff and patrons practice social distancing, and there are products continually being created to help with this task, as well.

The only sure thing right now seems to be that things are not going to be sure for a while. Things are going to be constantly changing. With COVID-19 still being a concern, many patrons are still hesitant to get out and dine out. It is hard to know how busy you are going to be, so it’s hard to know how much product to order. In addition, labor continues to be a challenge.
