Ms. Jacobsen also directed Expeditions on Preventing CA-UTIs, Reducing C. difficile Infections, Improving Flow in Key Areas and Improving Stoke Care. 2 8/9/2011 Christopher Ohl, MD Christopher Ohl, MD, is the Medical Director for Antimicrobial Utilization Stewardship and Epidemiology at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, and Infectious Diseases Associate Professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine 5 Kristi Kuper, PharmD, BCPS Kristi Kuper, Pharm.D, BCPS is the Clinical Director of Infectious Diseases for Cardinal Health and is based in Houston,TX. Previously, she was a clinical pharmacy coordinator at Olathe Medical Center, in Olathe, KS. To date, she has worked in various capacities with over 160 hospitals nationwide. She is primarily responsible for developing programs to assist hospitals with antibiotic management, including antimicrobial stewardship. Her expertise in stewardship is derived from working directly with hospitals to implement on site programs, typically in the community hospital setting (i.e. “ID resource deficient”). She is a member of ASM, IDSA, SHEA, and SIDP and several national pharmacy organizations. Dr. Kuper received her Doctor of Pharmacy from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, completed a post graduate pharmacy practice residency at the James A Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, FL, and maintains Board Certification as a Pharmacotherapy Specialist. 3 8/9/2011 Overall Program Aim The Aim of this Expedition: To provide hospitals with the most effective ideas and practices in improving Antibiotic Stewardship in their organization. 7 Objectives Upon completion of this expedition, participants will be able to: • Describe the impact of antibiotic overuse on complications, including Clostridium difficile and adverse drug reactions, length of stay, costs, and antimicrobial resistance • Establish or enhance a multidisciplinary focus to heighten awareness of the challenges of antimicrobial resistance and support antibiotic stewardship • Identify and begin improving at least one key process to optimize antibiotic selection, dose, and duration of antimicrobial agents in their hospital 8 4 8/9/2011 Expedition Focus The expedition will focus on key “high leverage” changes to ensure timely and appropriate antibiotic utilization: • Making antibiotics patient is receiving and start & stop dates visible at point of care • Reconciling and adjusting antibiotics – focused on care transitions within the hospital • Stopping or de-escalating therapy appropriately • Monitoring and providing feedback on process measure to assess progress over time Agenda • Welcome and introductions • Follow-up from Session 4 – Stopping or de-escalating therapy appropriately - Review Assignment: what did you TEST? – Chris Ohl MD & Diane Jacobsen • Session 5 Focus - Insights and challenges in community hospitals - Bristol Hospital’s Journey Towards Antibiotic Stewardship Brenda A. Egan, PharmD, BCPSClinical - Implementing stewardship in an “ID resource challenged” environment Kristi Kuper, Pharm.D., BCPS • Preparing for the Final Session – “all teach, all learn” • Final Questions & Close 5 8/9/2011 Session 4 – July 28th • High Leverage Change: Stopping or de-escalating therapy appropriately Key Change Concepts: • Establish process for prompt notification of culture and antibiotic susceptibility results • Stop or de-escalate antibiotic based on culture result 11 What did you TEST since the July 28th Session? • Design a small test of change to ensure prompt notification of culture and antibiotic susceptibility results Ideas to consider…………. 1. Set a time frame within which culture results must be reported and to whom. 2. Develop a list of “critical results” to report to the physician via page or automated means, such as a text message (e.g., MDRO) 12 - Ensure that the reporting system includes mechanisms to alert responsible clinical staff when the attending physician is unavailable - Develop and monitor a standard timeframe for reporting and receiving critical results. 6 8/9/2011 What did you TEST since the July 28th Session? • Design a small test of change to Stop or de-escalate antibiotic based on culture result Ideas to consider…………. 1. Develop a process to discontinue antibiotics - When positive cultures most likely represent colonization rather than infection. - If cultures are negative or alternative non-infectious agent is diagnosed in 48 to 72 hours. - Permit physicians to opt out of automatically discontinuing antibiotics based on negative culture results, but require documentation of the rationale. 2. 3. If indication for antibiotics is clearly identified, deescalate therapy to target the susceptibilities of the pathogen. Standardize all hand offs to include review of culture results or pending culture results, antibiotic duration, and current plans for antibiotic discontinuation. 13 Today’s Focus Insights and challenges in community hospitals considerations in: • Making antibiotics patient is receiving and start & stop dates visible at point of care • Reconciling and adjusting antibiotics – focused on care transitions within the hospital • Stopping or de-escalating therapy appropriately • Monitoring and providing feedback on process measure to assess progress over time 14 7 8/9/2011 One Community Hospital’s Experience Brenda A.

Diseases Cardinal Health Pharmacy Solutions [email protected] Analogy Quiz • Implementing stewardship in an ID resource challenged hospital can be like: A. Making ice in the desert B. Trying to start a fire in a blizzard C. Driving a car from Texas to California with only two tires D. All of the above 34 17 8/9/2011 What is “ID Resource Challenged”? 35 • No Infectious Diseases physician on staff ─ Based on a 2009 survey of 97 hospitals, 42% did not have an ID physician on staff • ID physicians not engaged • ID physician engaged, but not full time • No pharmacist on staff with formal ID training Data on file: Cardinal Health Getting Started • It is an exciting time for stewardship ─Excess excitement often leads to wanting to do something right away ─ We are going to have a meeting! ─Ready , Fire, Aim! 36 18 8/9/2011 Before You Have a Meeting • Stop and take an inventory of what you are currently doing related to stewardship ─Many hospitals are doing stewardship, they just don’t define it as such ─ Pharmacy specific ─Organizational activities Four IHI high leverage changes 37 Before You Have a Meeting • Gather Pharmacy metrics ─ Drug costs (per census metric) ─ Utilization ─ Antibiotic intervention data De-escalation ─ Staff resources – current and proposed • Gather data from other departments ─ Infection Control reports ─ Microbiology/Laboratory ─ Quality 38 19 8/9/2011 Before You Have a Meeting • Find a physician champion ─ May be ID, may not be ─ Engage CMO or Administrative support • Give specific thought to key participants • Clearly outline the first meeting ─ Send out agenda ahead of time ─ Tell the story with the data ─ Set goals or define specific actions ─ Set frequency to meet back 39 Ask Yourself These 3 Basic Questions 40 • What objective (not subjective) data do you have that shows that there is an issue with inappropriate antibiotic use in your institution? • How will you know (again objectively) if your program is successful? • What personnel will comprise your team? ─Do not make your program an island of 1 20 8/9/2011 Assessing Program Motivators • “Not so good” answers ─To only save money ─My CFO requested it ─I enter a lot of orders for antibiotics ─Antibiotic resistance is bad ─There just seems to be a lot of antibiotic overruse 41 42 Good Answers To employ cost effective, quality care in our institution. To create a multi-disciplinary program that will encourage appropriate antimicrobial use in our institution. Antibiotic utilization has increased by 17% in the last year. • Our goal is to reduce this number to 5% growth for FY11 Based on a review of 100 general medical and surgical patients who received > 3 antibiotics, only 30% of patients had therapy de-escalated after culture and susceptibility reports were returned. • Our goal is to improve this number to 60% by year end 21 8/9/2011 43 Other Suggestions • Identify which of the defined problems or issues you plan to address with your stewardship program? ─ Rome wasn’t built in a day ─ Please don’t make the blanket statement that you are going to decrease ALL antibiotic resistance http://www.idsociety.org/Content.aspx?id=11840 Emerg Inf Dis 2007;13(6):838-46 44 Other Suggestions • Formalize stewardship policy • Set up a stewardship scorecard ─ Antibiotic utilization by month ─ Antibiotic cost per month (e.g. $/APD) ─ Select resistance: Carbapenem resistant Pseudomonas ─ Intervention rates ─ Quality metrics (CMS) ─ HAI rates 22 8/9/2011 45 Sample Scorecard 46 Define Implementation • 1. How will the day to day activities of the ASP be set up? • 2. Who will perform the streamlining functions? • 3. Which personnel are assigned to the program (based on hours per week)? • 4. Most hospitals are more successful in implementing the stewardship program in stages vs. all at once • Use "culture of the month" principles • First month only do bug-drug matching on urine cultures, then blood cultures, etc. 23 8/9/2011 47 Identify Additional Resources • Assess resources that are available (personnel and tools) • Personnel • The most successful programs are inter-disciplinary • Look for program “extenders” • Nursing, Case Management, technicians • Maximize technology if you can • Make friends with your hospital IT department • Network with others that have the same IT system • Tools Intervention tracking Other systems within the hospital For example, look at Infection Control tools available Build your own!! 48 Identify Additional Resources • Education ─ Home grown ─ Commercial products ─ State and national societies • Basic bugs and drugs ─ Nursing ─ Microbiology (obviously more drugs than bugs) • Grand rounds • Pocket cards and “5 minute consult” in-services 24 8/9/2011 49 Market the Program • Advertise the program before it starts and clearly communicate that this is not just a cost issue • Continue to advertise or communicate the results in newsletters or unique communiqués • Recognize the successes and acknowledge those individuals who contributed to the success of the program 50 Stewardship Resources 25 8/9/2011 51 On the Web • Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists • Johns Hopkins Antibiotic Guide • Nebraska Medical Center ASP Homepage • University of Kentucky – Chandler Medical Center • KU Medical Center Antibiotic Homepage ─ www.sidp.org ─ http://www.hopkinsguides.com/hopkins/ub ─ http://www.nebraskamed.com/careers/education/asp/ ─ http://www.hosp.uky.edu/pharmacy/amt/default.html ─ http://www2.kumc.edu/pharmacy/AbxUseGuide/Table%20of%20Conten ts.htm • WHO DDD ─ http://www.whocc.no/atc_ddd_index/ 52 In Print • Septimus EJ, Owens RC.
