Family-Centered Care (FCC) and Patient Safety Thursday, June 21, 2007 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. EDT Moderator: Erin R. Stucky, MD, FAAP Pediatric Hospitalist Children’s Specialists of San Diego Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego, California This activity was funded through an educational grant from the Physicians’ Foundation for Health Systems Excellence. Disclosure of Financial Relationships and Resolution of Conflicts of Interest for AAP CME Activities Grid The AAP CME program aims to develop, maintain, and increase the competency, skills, and professional performance of pediatric healthcare professionals by providing high quality, relevant, accessible and cost-effective educational experiences. The AAP CME program provides activities to meet the participants’ identified education needs and to support their lifelong learning towards a goal of improving care for children and families (AAP CME Program Mission Statement, August 2004). The AAP recognizes that there are a variety of financial relationships between individuals and commercial interests that require review to identify possible conflicts of interest in a CME activity. The “AAP Policy on Disclosure of Financial Relationships and Resolution of Conflicts of Interest for AAP CME Activities” is designed to ensure quality, objective, balanced, and scientifically rigorous AAP CME activities by identifying and resolving all potential conflicts of interest prior to the confirmation of service of those in a position to influence and/or control CME content. The AAP has taken steps to resolve any potential conflicts of interest. All AAP CME activities will strictly adhere to the 2004 Updated Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) Standards for Commercial Support: Standards to Ensure the Independence of CME Activities. In accordance with these Standards, the following decisions will be made free of the control of a commercial interest: identification of CME needs, determination of educational objectives, selection and presentation of content, selection of all persons and organizations that will be in a position to control the content, selection of educational methods, and evaluation of the CME activity. The purpose of this policy is to ensure all potential conflicts of interest are identified and mechanisms to resolve them prior to the CME activity are implemented in ways that are consistent with the public good. The AAP is committed to providing learners with commercially unbiased CME activities.

AAP & ACEP: PFCC in the ED An innovative approach to health care that recognizes the integral role of the family and is grounded in a respectful and mutually beneficial collaboration among the patient, family, and health care professionals PFCC embraces the concepts that We are providing care for a person, not a condition The patient is best understood in the context of his or her family, culture, values and goals Honoring the context will result in better health care, safety, and patient satisfaction To optimize child’s care, ED providers, parents and the child are all on the same team Source: AAP Committee on Pediatric Emergency Medicine & ACEP Pediatric Committee.

Family member presence in the pediatric emergency department. Current Opinion in Pediatrics 2003; 15:294-8. FP: What Do ED Providers Believe A frequently offered concern by healthcare providers is that family presence (FP) may result in a delay or disruption of care Reports of FP trials in EDs have not demonstrated this to be a significant concern Oddly enough, healthcare providers who initially oppose FP commonly become fierce advocates after trying it Proponents for Family Presence American Heart Association American Academy of Pediatrics Ambulatory Pediatric Association Emergency Nurses Association* Emergency Medical Services for Children1 Published guidelines/courses EMSC FCC Guidelines (2000) AHA CPR Guidelines (2000, 2005) Pediatric Advanced Life Support (2002) Advanced Pediatric Life Support (2004) Emergency Nursing Pediatric Course (2004) Trauma Nursing Core Course (2002) (1) Emergency Medical Services for Children.

FP: Reported Benefits for Family Continued patient-family bonding and connectedness Facilitation of the grieving process Sense of closure on a life shared together Removal of doubt about what was happening to the patient and the knowledge that everything possible was being done A spiritual experience Feeling that they had been supportive and helpful to the patient Reduced fear and anxiety Source: Guzzetta CE, Clark AP, Wright JL. Family presence in emergency medical services for children. Clinical Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2006; 7:15-24. FP: Benefits for Care Providers Improved clinical-decision making Improved clinical efficiency/ED patient through-put Greater satisfaction with workplace environment Improved patient satisfaction Lower burn-out/turnover Improved understanding of social, ethnic and cultural diversity Improved awareness of children with special healthcare needs Reductions in medical error and liability risk Are we more careful or deliberate with FP ? Are we better informed abut our patients? This may be especially valuable for special needs children The Swiss Cheese Model Model for accident causation used in risk analysis Views human systems as successive layers of “cheese” or defenses against error Redundancy helps prevent errors Holes represent defense weakness Some hazards manage to find the holes and bypass these defenses, resulting in losses Is PFCC another “slice of cheese” or defense against medical errors ?

Cambridge University Press, 1990 Culturally Effective Care Delivery of care within the context of appropriate physician knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of all cultural distinctions leading to optimal health outcomes Requires the acquisition of knowledge, development of skills, and demonstration of behaviors and attitudes that are appropriate to care for patients and families from a wide variety of cultural attitudes AKA “cultural competency” & “cultural sensitivity” Source: AAP Committee on Pediatric Workforce.

ED Communication Concerns Language translation Interpretation Cultural variations in verbal and non-verbal communication Communication anxiety “Imbalance of power” Health literacy Performance of a Lifetime Health Literacy: The Silent Epidemic Definition: Health literacy is the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions 21% of the American Public cannot read the headlines of a newspaper 48% cannot decipher messages with words and numbers, i.e. instructions about a bus route Source: Institute of Medicine. Health literacy: a prescription to end confusion. Washington, DC: National Academies Press, 2004 Health Literacy: A Barrier to PFCC How many patients understand what we tell them or give them to read? About 52%, according to research How do we know parents understand discharge instructions We often don’t Parents/patients are quite ashamed of low literacy and they are very good at hiding the problem Asking “Do you understand what we’ve talked about?” won’t get you very far We need to hear it in their words There is a big difference between asking “Do you understand” and “Take a minute and tell me what we’ve talked about” Comfort Care & ED Physical Plant Future Directions in PFCC Education Post-graduate Trainee level Patients and families Advocacy and leadership Research !!

Some take-away points from the Webinar: Family-Centered Care (FCC) and Patient Safety June 21, 2007 TAKE-AWAY POINTS Steven E. Krug, MD, FAAP PFCC has become recognized as the standard of practice resulting in high quality and safe care – Requires a paradigm shift from traditional care models Families should be present during the entire course of ED care, including procedures and teaching – This practice will benefit patients, families and providers Culturally effective care is an essential component of PFCC in all settings – Timely access to interpreter services is required Health literacy represents a barrier to effective communication, patient safety and PFCC – We need to assure that patient families really understand TAKE-AWAY POINTS John M. Neff, MD, FAAP Involve families in hospital safety issues Provide families with information and empower them to be part of the team Encourage families to develop and maintain a transportable care note book that has child’s current health plan Make a special effort to include non English speaking families in FCC Care Note Book Visit: http://www.cshcn.org/resources/c arecoordination.cfm
