Deference to expertise Most knowledgeable takes charge regardless of role Ask yourself: What have I missed today? What should I have seen that I didn’t? STARTING THE JOURNEY CULTURE System Thinking Influenced by patient condition, tasks, staff, environment, teamwork, management Collaboration Friendly competition; accomplish more, faster Commitment to Change New, better ways; test ideas Evidence Based Order Sets; Protocols CULTURE STAFF INVOLVEMENT Non-Punitive Reporting Policy Systems Thinking Focus on harm and processes; not the care provider Safety Briefings with Employee Feedback Unit Councils Staff identify and address unit safety concerns Involves staff in development of processes CULTURE PHYSICIAN ENGAGEMENT Patient Safety is a standing agenda item Safety Briefings and Feedback is provided Monthly updates of PI projects are provided Root Causes Analyses include physician input Human Factors included in the Peer Review Expectations and goals of the organization are shared Efforts made to obtain input while being mindful of the physician’s time PHYSICIAN INPUT Ad Hoc team developed process and protocol for Peri-operative Beta Blockade Anesthesiologists developed Epidural Protocol Pediatricians requested child Med Safety Brochure for their offices Internists and CV Surgeons assisted in development of IV Insulin Infusion Protocol CULTURE PATIENT INVOLVEMENT Satisfaction survey questions for safety Medication Safety Brochure given to all new admissions; distributed by physician offices Community resource collaboration to encourage patient to keep updated med list Patient education channel is available 24/7 with information about disease Community Board serves a dual role as the Patient Advisory Council PATIENT SAFETY POSTER ALSO AVAILABLE IN SPANISH Be Involved in Your Care Make sure the nurse checks your armband before giving you your medicine. Ask the nurse about medication that is unfamiliar to you BEFORE you take it. Make sure the staff and physician washes their hands before / after providing care to you MEDICATION RECONCILIATION Definition A process of identifying the most accurate list of all medications a patient is taking and using this list to provide care in any setting It requires comparing the patient’s list of current medications against the physician’s admission, transfer and discharge orders. WHY DO THIS? Provides the ability to accurately compare home meds to meds ordered during hospitalization Detects medication errors before they happen Promotes continuity of care between different levels of care Wrong dose, route or frequency may be prescribed Important meds may be omitted RECONCILIATION PROCESS Med history is completed Med history is compared with admission medication orders Transfer reconciliation is conducted when the patient moves to a different level of care Discharge reconciliation compares the meds ordered during hospitalization with those ordered to be taken at home Variances between med history and admission orders is clarified with the physician What is included? Current home meds, OTC, Herbals Includes dose, route, frequency, time of last dose WHERE TO GET INFORMATION Patient or family Patient’s pharmacy Previous medical records Primary care physician’s office Patient’s medication bottles BARRIERS Bureaucracy Complexity of communication--interruptions Accountability—staff too busy Lack of teamwork—office does not have updated list or nursing home list is confusing Patient brings in incorrect list Patient does not take what is marked on the bottle Patient does not know names of meds Patient is unable to tell you ADMISSION RECONCILIATION OSF

Questions incorporated into RCA—approved and applauded by JCAHO One RCA resulted in improvements that prevented care issues in a subsequent trauma (ED/difficult intubation boxes) Success of RCA’s spreading—being used independently by other areas such as OR and EMS Services to evaluate a “near miss” SBAR SBAR Acronym-Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation Laminated pocket cards including the acronym have been distributed to all nurses Posters explaining SBAR have been posted in clinical areas and stickers have been placed on phones Use of SBAR spreading to all areas for any issue Medical Staff are encouraged to ask staff to use SBAR SBAR POCKET CARD In the interest of Patient Safety and to ensure we are giving complete, accurate information to the physician, please use the following acronym to direct the information we provide: S (the current Situation or problem) B (a little about the patient’s Background) A (your Assessment of the patient) R (your Recommendation of what is needed from the physician) TEAM RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Improves team efficiency and effectiveness Includes multiple concepts Communication tools—SBAR Staff assertion Situational Awareness Briefings Debriefings Red Flags Initial and refresher training was provided to staff and physicians BARRIERS Limited Resources Lack of organization/leadership support Lack of physician buy-in Resistance to change Starting too big Moving too quick Reluctance to share safety concerns Multiple projects Added work instead of replacement LESSONS LEARNED Involve the right people Use rapid cycle tests of change Simplify processes Share successes Don’t recreate the wheel—network with others Communicate KEYS TO SUCCESS Leadership Support Make it a win-win situation Reward and recognize staff Provide ongoing feedback Always make patient safety the priority! Never give up; there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome!!! “Safety is like peeling an onion--the more you look, the more you find and each layer makes you cry”.
