How does a 100-Day SWAT Team differ from PICOs, GEs Workout, or other rapid execution methods?
The 100-Day SWAT Team method is the most recent innovation in a rapidly growing suite of improvement tools being introduced into healthcare. PICOs, created by GM and introduced by IHI, was a great pilot for increasing speed of execution. We found, however, that results were spotty, predominantly because of a lack of sophistication. GE’s Workout method improved upon PICOs by adding needed discipline of execution. While more effective than PICOs, it lacks the provision of pre-tested solution sets, leaving creativity up to managers, who quickly ran out of ideas, resulting in less than stellar results. The 100-Day SWAT Team solves these two problems by nesting inside the Workout process training of managers in Tom Nolan’s 70 idealized design techniques, HCAB and other reputable solution sets to jump start execution.
