Let's do it. 211 00:08:46,090 --> 00:08:48,730 So the screen in her room became a two way 212 00:08:48,730 --> 00:08:52,040 video audio, and the virtual nurse went over 213 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,720 my mom's surgery, her post-op course, 214 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,200 the expectations, her physical therapy plan 215 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,440 and follow up, her medications, 216 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,000 her new medications. 217 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,800 And my mom was discharged in less than 30 218 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,920 minutes. This highlighted to me the just the 219 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,200 epitome of innovation, 220 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,840 making a huge difference for patients and for 221 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:15,960 the nursing staff. 222 00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:19,200 Now, the sad thing is that I realized that 223 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,560 the nurses at Tanner health, 224 00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,360 where I work, have been begging for this 225 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,200 technology they wanted implemented yesterday, 226 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,720 but we currently don't have the resources and 227 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,280 the staff to successfully implement this 228 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,560 because of all the other competing projects. 229 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,360 So what I have learned to continue to 230 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,240 leverage the technology and keep the team 231 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,280 excited about what's coming is to teach them 232 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,920 about slowing down to go fast and 233 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,660 understanding that while we have a problem 234 00:09:50,660 --> 00:09:51,980 we're trying to solve, and that is 235 00:09:51,980 --> 00:09:53,900 discharging patients in a timely manner. 236 00:09:54,380 --> 00:09:56,900 We aren't quite there yet with the resources. 237 00:09:57,060 --> 00:09:59,980 In addition to the influencers and champions, 238 00:09:59,980 --> 00:10:02,620 which is principal we get to later. 239 00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:06,420 So slowing down to go fast is the first 240 00:10:06,420 --> 00:10:08,980 lesson learned. The second lesson is start 241 00:10:08,980 --> 00:10:10,180 with a pilot. 242 00:10:10,460 --> 00:10:12,860 Start small beta something. 243 00:10:12,860 --> 00:10:14,140 Start with a pilot. 244 00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:17,060 Pilot don't plunge is what I like to tell the 245 00:10:17,060 --> 00:10:19,420 team. There are a lot of pilots happening in 246 00:10:19,420 --> 00:10:21,100 healthcare with new technology. 247 00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:24,300 There are a lot of robotic things happening, 248 00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:27,300 and there are robots and hospitals that are 249 00:10:27,300 --> 00:10:30,820 being deployed to deliver supplies, 250 00:10:30,980 --> 00:10:33,540 deliver blood, deliver telemetry boxes, 251 00:10:33,540 --> 00:10:36,420 deliver labs to the lab, 252 00:10:37,060 --> 00:10:38,460 medications to the bedside, 253 00:10:38,460 --> 00:10:40,460 keeping the nurse at the bedside, 254 00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:43,140 hospital robots and one health system save 255 00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:47,100 the staff 14 million steps over a year. 256 00:10:47,860 --> 00:10:50,690 But those kinds of technologies need to be 257 00:10:50,690 --> 00:10:53,130 piloted so that they can be tweaked and 258 00:10:53,130 --> 00:10:54,490 improved. Because what you don't want to 259 00:10:54,490 --> 00:10:57,250 happen is for a robot to go rogue in real 260 00:10:57,290 --> 00:11:01,410 time. So there was a large health care system 261 00:11:01,570 --> 00:11:04,290 with 19 floors and 90 robots, 262 00:11:04,570 --> 00:11:07,130 and their robots had a traffic jam trying to 263 00:11:07,130 --> 00:11:09,010 get in the elevator, and they all came to a 264 00:11:09,010 --> 00:11:10,530 complete standstill. 265 00:11:10,810 --> 00:11:13,930 The good news is this was a pilot before the 266 00:11:13,930 --> 00:11:15,410 hospital was occupied. 267 00:11:15,570 --> 00:11:17,570 So by the time the hospital opened and they 268 00:11:17,570 --> 00:11:19,850 actually had patients and staff, 269 00:11:20,170 --> 00:11:22,770 they had worked out those problems with the 270 00:11:22,770 --> 00:11:27,170 robots. Not so much for a hotel in Nagasaki, 271 00:11:27,170 --> 00:11:30,010 Japan. The Han Na Hotel, 272 00:11:30,130 --> 00:11:32,730 which translation means strange hotel. 273 00:11:33,410 --> 00:11:37,090 They had robots checking guests in, 274 00:11:37,130 --> 00:11:38,290 taking their information. 275 00:11:38,290 --> 00:11:40,850 They even had robots that were concierges 276 00:11:40,850 --> 00:11:43,330 that would respond to the guest requests, 277 00:11:43,330 --> 00:11:45,250 that would deliver things to the rooms, 278 00:11:45,250 --> 00:11:47,050 help get the luggage to the rooms. 279 00:11:47,570 --> 00:11:49,670 But what they found was those concierge 280 00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:53,790 robots mistook snoring for a cry for help or 281 00:11:53,790 --> 00:11:56,470 a security problem, and they banged on the 282 00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:57,910 door in the middle of the night, 283 00:11:57,950 --> 00:12:00,870 waking guests up because of the snoring. 284 00:12:01,110 --> 00:12:05,150 And so this pilot, this was not piloted. 285 00:12:05,150 --> 00:12:06,830 If they piloted these robots, 286 00:12:06,830 --> 00:12:09,030 they may have avoided that problem by 287 00:12:09,030 --> 00:12:10,830 realizing the robots needed to be 288 00:12:10,830 --> 00:12:11,910 reprogrammed. 289 00:12:12,030 --> 00:12:14,830 Not to think that snoring was a call for 290 00:12:14,830 --> 00:12:17,710 help. So those robots got the pink slip. 291 00:12:18,430 --> 00:12:20,390 So the second principle is start with the 292 00:12:20,390 --> 00:12:23,270 pilot. The third principle is find your 293 00:12:23,270 --> 00:12:25,350 influencers and champions. 294 00:12:25,910 --> 00:12:29,470 And remember, I told you that I must confess 295 00:12:29,470 --> 00:12:33,150 that I was a laggard AI when we went from 296 00:12:33,150 --> 00:12:35,630 paper to the electronic medical record. 297 00:12:35,870 --> 00:12:39,270 Years ago, I was not very happy with that and 298 00:12:39,270 --> 00:12:41,430 did not want to participate. 299 00:12:41,910 --> 00:12:44,390 This was not me on the left. 300 00:12:44,390 --> 00:12:45,990 I was not a happy camper. 301 00:12:46,110 --> 00:12:48,220 I am the doctor on the right that wanted to 302 00:12:48,220 --> 00:12:50,020 throw the whole kit and caboodle out the 303 00:12:50,020 --> 00:12:52,740 window.
