CAse study: IKEA

IKEA: An Economic Downturn, and Problems with Corruption
During the prolonged recession that began in 2008, IKEA ran into two significant stressors: decreasing product demand and unpredictability in the Russian market.[1] The global economic recession led to sharp increases in debt and decreases in sales. In addition, the company ran into difficulties in its operations in Russia. As acknowledged by most officials, even president Demitri Medvedev, businesses in Russia are often the target of extortion and corruption. It is, to say the least, quite difficult to operate in Russia without bribing a local, regional or even national government officer. Every business encounters challenging times, but what defines the company is how it responds to difficult times.
In the short term, the best strategy for IKEA may be to defend its own corporate integrity and the well-being of its executives and employees by resisting bribery. How about the economic downturn? That larger source of stress for the company requires a much different kind of coping response. There is a saying that the strong survive. If that is so, what is the source of strength for survival? In IKEA’s case, it may be its core business model of selling minimalist, flat-pack furniture, something that its competitors are trying to emulate.
Duke behavioral economist Dan Ariely has a theory that IKEA’s build-it-yourself furniture creates long-term customer loyalty.[2] Why? Because you like the furniture even more after struggling to put it all together with a minimum of useful instructions. No one would suggest that the instructions are overly detailed. This mild ambiguity creates a customer opportunity, specifically, the opportunity for the customer to engage, or invest, in the whole process of creating the furniture. Engagement and involvement lead to commitment. That may be the underpinning for Ariely’s theory about IKEA’s model for creating loyalty and business. While the company’s business model may be an internal source of strength to survive and thrive in a very competitive retail environment, IKEA may draw strength too from its loyal and lasting customer base who has displayed their own strength and achievement in assembling IKEA furniture.
ANSWER THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. How might the methods that IKEA uses to deal with external stressors, such as global economic and political conditions, be applied to the treatment of individual employee’s stress in the company?
2. What are some ways in which the two stressors IKEA faced could function as positive stress for the organization?
3. If you were an official at IKEA, how would you deal with the question of bribery? Would you rather pay a bribe to make life for your company easier, or would you not pay the bribes and face a bigger challenge in doing business in a foreign market?

HOW ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS (EHRS) ARE ‘NUDGING’ PRACTICES TO CHANGE CERTAIN BEHAVIORS.

Moving beyond medical errors: How EHRs are ‘nudging’ practices to change certain behaviors
by Eli Richman | Jan 28, 2019 6:00amThe University of Chicago Medical Center is one health system experimenting with ways the EHR can nudge physician and nurse behavior. (Courtesy of University of Chicago)ShareFacebookTwitterLinkedInEmailPrint
Electronic health records (EHRs) are usually cited for their ability to help diagnose diseases and reduce medical errors. But several health systems are testing how EHRs can be used to target other factors, like patient comfort and drug shortages.
Since EHRs are frequently used to guide patient care, adjusting the output of those systems can have considerable impact on patients—beyond just their immediate health condition.
Consider the University of Chicago Medical Center, which has been experimenting with a study module called SIESTA (Sleep for Inpatients: Empowering Staff to Act) to help patients in hospitals sleep better. The study is aimed at reducing nighttime awakenings for inpatients so they don’t experience in-hospital sleep deprivation.

Inpatient sleep deprivation occurs when EHRs prompt doctors and nurses to take vital signs, administer medication or perform a test irrespective of the time of day. If a patient is being consistently woken up this way, they can suffer grogginess, delirium and falls.
“As a frequently hospitalized patient, I am used to being woken up as often as every one to two hours,” Sara Ringer, a hospital patient, told the University. “It never feels like your body has a chance to rest and heal. My last hospitalization at University of Chicago was one of the easiest I’ve had because the hospital staff made it possible for me to sleep.”
Alerting clinicians to potential problems—constantly
SIESTA works by adding alerts to the EHR, which remind healthcare workers they may want to delay disruptions that are minimally important (such as measuring vital signs). While it’s certainly possible to simply provide training to clinicians to avoid nighttime awakenings, the researchers said the EHR reminders work better.
“Efforts to improve patients’ sleep are not new, but they do not often stick because they rely on staff to remember to implement the changes,” said the study’s lead author Vineet Arora, M.D., professor of medicine at the University of Chicago.
But alerts aren’t always effective either because clinicians can start mentally blocking them out, said Raj Ratwani, M.D., director of the national center for human factors in healthcare at Medstar Health. When a physician gets an alert for something or other every few minutes (a suggestion to use a certain drug, a suggestion about when to perform a test, etc.), it stops being a concern and starts becoming an interruption of their workflow, according to Ratwani’s research.
Ratwani pointed to an eye-tracking study done on residents completing certain tasks in an EHR. It found that after a time, physicians would by habit bring their cursor to the place on the screen ready to close an alert box after selecting certain options—before it had even popped up. They had become that inured to the reminders.
“Those are the kind of alerts that drive physicians nuts, because think about how many of those they get, how busy they are,” Ratwani told FierceHealthcare in an interview. “What’s happening is you just get used to it, it becomes an interruption of your workflow, and you just want to get past it.”
Background UI changes—subtle and concerningly unnoticeable
Another approach to nudging clinicians’ behavior is to change the EHR’s user interface (UI) to cognitively disincentivize certain choices. Putting undesired options further down on a drop-down list, for instance, or graying them out, can cause clinicians to select them less often without interrupting workflow.
Many EHRs already do this to avoid negative health outcomes, like unintended drug interactions or dangerous opioid doses. But all those tools are available to nudge behavior for other reasons, Ratwani said. They can just as easily be employed to avoid a drug that’s on shortage or out of range.
“Oftentimes what happens is providers get emails, and they’ll get an email that says ‘please don’t prescribe medication A, prescribe medication B instead’. And then they’re tasked with having to remember that information on top of all the other things they have to do. So that’s a great instance where it would be far more effective to manipulate the interface a little bit to make it more difficult to order those medications that are on shortage,” he said.
“Things that you want to prevent or push people away from—you want that to take more cognitive effort than you want people to actually use,” Ratwani added. “So you’re guiding them without them needing to do a lot of effort to acknowledge them or interrupt their workflow. And that’s where it’s most effective—where it’s very passive and doesn’t require a lot of effort on the part of the physician.”
The trouble here is that the UI changes can tread into the territory of making decisions instead of clinicians. And while the grayed-out options should still be available to select in most cases, the psychological disincentive it provides is powerful, Ratwani said. One study showed that even a one- to two-second delay in the time that it takes to do something will push people away from that action most of the time.
Furthermore, it’s not clear that the suggestions pushed by the UI will always be appropriate. It would be easy for a drug shortage to end, for instance, but not have the EHR update to reflect that until months later.
“There is tremendous potential for unintended consequences in this kind of change—to any interface. Just in the example of order sets, many have been updated but the clinician’s not aware that it’s been updated, so they may be operating under the previous conditions of that order set,” Ratwani said. “This can be a big problem, and it’s similar to the drug shortage scenario, where there is a change and it’s not obvious.”
Ultimately, no solution is perfect. Personal reminders are too forgettable, EHR reminders are too repetitive and easy to ignore, and UI changes are too difficult to notice and overrule.
So while EHR changes can be a powerful tool for hospitals and health systems to incentivize certain behavior, they will have to be vigilant about the unintended consequences.
