DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs DMC Corporate Quality Department Detroit Medical Center© Revised: February, 2010 Page 1 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs Commitment to Quality and Safety The Detroit Medical Center is committed to providing safe, high quality medical care. This is part of our mission and it is also reflected by our certification and accreditation with regulatory agencies and participation with local, state, and national quality and safety improvement projects. Page 2 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs Quality and Environmental Management Systems The DMC has incorporated the requirements of a Quality Management System (QMS) as outlined in the ISO 9001-2008 standards and an Environmental Management System (EMS) as outlined in ISO 14001: 2004 standards into its quality program. Page 3 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs Foundation for Medical Safety DMC commitment to medical safety is reflected in our: Quality Statement which includes: Continuous improvement Prevention of medical/health systems errors Provision of high quality medical care Environmental Statement: The Detroit Medical Center is dedicated to the health and safety of its patients, employees, customers, community and environment. DMC is committed to: The prevention of pollution Compliance with environmental regulations and other requirements Continuous improvement Environmental hotline 1.888.484.9200 Page 4 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs Improving Quality and Safety Most events or errors occur due to process issues: Multiple events at multiple levels lead to the event – almost never just ‘one process’ failure Rarely a ‘person’ failure By improving our systems and processes, we improve healthcare quality and safety. Page 5 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs What is Performance Improvement? It is an ongoing effort to find new and better ways of doing things by: Getting better results Involving the whole organization Improving work processes Foundation for Performance Improvement – PDCA (also known as PDSA): PLAN DO CHECK (or STUDY) ACT Page 6 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs Performance Improvement PLAN: What are the goals you want to achieve? DO: Measure progress towards goals by collecting data. CHECK/STUDY: Look closely at/Analyze your data to answer these questions: • How well are we performing? • Why are we performing well or not well? • Which areas should we focus on first to improve our processes? ACT: Make improvements! Celebrate success! Page 7 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs What Does Medical Safety Mean? It means we constantly look for ways to make the care or service we provide safer for our patients and employees. We can accomplish this by: Identifying conditions that are hazardous and changing them. Acting quickly and appropriately when an incident occurs. Making medical safety a regular part of our performance improvement activities. By making concerns for safety part of everything we do. Page 8 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs Medical Safety = Quality Care The DMC is committed to adopting the Institute of Medicine’s 6 aims for improving the quality and safety of healthcare (see additional information at www.iom) Healthcare needs to be: 1. Safe: Avoiding injuries to patients from the care that is intended to help them. 2. Effective: Providing services based on scientific knowledge to all who could benefit, and refraining from providing services to those not likely to benefit. Page 9 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs Medical Safety = Quality Care Healthcare needs to be: continued 3. Patient-centered: Providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values, and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions. 4. Timely: Reducing waits and sometimes harmful delays for both those who receive and those who give care. 5. Efficient: Avoiding waste, including waste of equipment, supplies, ideas, and energy. 6. Equitable: Providing care that does not vary in quality because of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, geographic location, and socioeconomic status. A health care system that achieves major gains in these six areas would be far better at meeting patient needs. Page 10 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs Healthcare Safety Statistics 40 to 50 Patient Injuries per 100 Hospital Admissions 37 million hospital admissions X 40 injuries per 100 hospital admissions = 15 million injuries per year What can we do to change this? Page 11 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs “Protecting 5 Million Lives from Harm” Campaign The Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s (IHI) “Protecting 5 Million Lives from Harm” campaign (See www.ihi.org for additional information). The aim of the campaign is to have care that: Is standardized and systemized Has zero defects Is innovative Includes system redesign, where necessary The DMC has committed to participate with the IHI to protect patients from harm. Everyone is responsible for the quality and safety of healthcare. Page 12 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs Proven Interventions The “Protecting 5 Million Lives from Harm” campaign challenges American hospitals to adopt twelve changes in care that save lives and reduce patient injuries: Deploy Rapid Response Teams…at the first sign of patient decline. Deliver Reliable, Evidence-Based Care for Acute Myocardial Infarction…to prevent deaths from heart attack. Prevent Adverse Drug Events (ADEs)…by implementing medication reconciliation. Prevent Central Line Infections…by implementing a series of interdependent, scientifically grounded steps. Prevent Surgical Site Infections…by reliably delivering the correct perioperative antibiotics at the proper time. Prevent Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia…by implementing a series of interdependent, scientifically grounded steps. Page 13 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs Proven Interventions Twelve changes in care that save lives and reduce patient injuries: (continued) Prevent Harm from High-Alert Medications... starting with a focus on anticoagulants, sedatives, narcotics, and insulin. Reduce Surgical Complications... by reliably implementing all of the changes in care recommended by SCIP, the Surgical Care Improvement Project. Prevent Pressure Ulcers... by reliably using science-based guidelines for their prevention. Reduce Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection…by reliably implementing scientifically proven infection control practices. Deliver Reliable, Evidence-Based Care for Congestive Heart Failure... to avoid readmissions. Get Boards on Board … by defining and spreading the best-known leveraged processes for hospital Boards of Directors, so that they can become far more effective in accelerating organizational progress toward safe care.

Page 20 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs Accreditation Accreditation means that an organization has met requirements related to the delivery of safe, quality care. The DMC is surveyed and accredited by many different agencies. What is Joint Commission? The Joint Commission is an accreditation agency that surveys our hospitals at least once every 3 years. The Joint Commission is an accreditation agency who’s objective is to improve the quality of healthcare provided to the public by establishing clinical standards; evaluating health care organizations; rendering accreditation; and providing education and consultative support to healthcare professionals (See www.jointcommission.org for additional information) Page 21 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs Quality Improvement The DMC participates in many local, state and national Quality Improvement projects some of which are: The National Quality Forum (NQF) Leapfrog Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Michigan Hospital Association (MHA – Keystone project) Greater Detroit Area Health Coalition (GDAHC – Save Lives-Save Dollars campaign) Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Page 22 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs Consumer-Centered Hospital Data In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on hospital quality and transparency. Consumers can find Internet sites to provide information such as procedure cost, levels of clinical/patient care, and patient satisfaction scores. It is important to remember that all DMC employees play a role in ensuring that our patients leave with a satisfying experience. Page 23 of 28 DMC Quality and Medical Safety Programs Hospital Transparency Hospital transparency is providing information to the public on patient safety and quality, cost, and performance indicators. Hospital transparency assists hospitals to become more efficient, rewards those hospitals that provide high quality care, and allows consumers to make informed decisions. The DMC provides information on safety and quality that is publicly reported.
