That?
“BEST
PRACTICE”
Evidence based
measures
that improve
patient
outcomes!
IF MEASURES ARE
PROVEN TO
WORK…
WHY NOT UTILIZE
THEM?

•
Stroke Education- Print 2 copies from Soarian. Patient receives one copy.
Copy signed by the patient placed in the chart.
•
Educate daily and include: when to call EMS, follow up, discharge
medications, risk factors, warning signs/symptoms.
Pneumonia
• Initiate Patient Care Guidelines if there is a delay in
seeing the ED physician
• Select and begin Core Measure Pneumonia checklist
from your Soarian worklist
• Utilize CPOE Adult Pneumonia Orders- ED
• Document antibiotic administration date and time
• Blood Cultures as ordered and document time drawnMust be collected on ICU admissions or transfers
within 24 hours of arrival
• Appropriate antibiotic selection (use Pneumonia order
set to determine if proper selection)
Pneumonia: Patient to ICU
•ED physician will date, time, and sign order to admit
to ICU using Soarian
•Nurse obtains blood cultures prior to giving
antibiotics and documents time drawn
Pneumonia: Patient to Medical Surgical Unit
•Start antibiotics (no blood cultures need to be done
unless the physician orders them)
•If blood cultures are ordered on a Medical Surgical
patient in the ED prior to the admission order, they
must be collected prior to antibiotic administration
•If patient transfers to the ICU within 24 hours of
hospital arrival, then obtain order and collect blood
cultures within 24 hours of hospital arrival
Influenza/Pneumococcal
Screening
• Influenza screening should be
completed on all patients 6 months
and older from September 1
through April 30. Influenza
screening should be done with each
hospital visit during this time
period.
• Pneumococcal screening should be
completed on all patients, all year
long, and screened with each
hospital visit.
• Administer immunization as
indicated or document
contraindication
Venous
Thromboembolism(VTE)
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Hospitalized patients at high-risk for VTE may develop an asymptomatic
deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and die from pulmonary embolism (PE) even
before the diagnosis is suspected
VTE Prophylaxis should be applied/administered Day of or Day after hospital
arrival and/or Day of or Day after ICU transfer
Acceptable VTE Therapy -Low dose unfractionated heparin (LDUH), Low
molecular weight heparin (LMWH), Pneumatic Compression Devices,
Graduated compression stockings, Factor Xa Inhibitor, Warfarin, Venous
Foot Pumps, Oral Factor Xa Inhibitor
Complete DVT-VTE Risk Score on admission assessment for all patients. If
score equal to 2 or more, apply appropriate mechanical VTE prophylaxis
If mechanical prophylaxis contraindicated, print DVT/VTE Prophylaxis
orders, call physician, obtain order and administer pharmacologic agent
Must have physician documentation of a reason for not giving both
mechanical and pharmacologic prophylaxis to prevent outlier
Overlap Therapy-Patients with confirmed VTE diagnosis should receive 5
days of overlap therapy (parenteral anticoagulation and warfarin) and
should have an INR ≥ 2 to be discharged on Coumadin alone
Patients who receive < than 5 days of overlap therapy, should be discharged
on both medications (Coumadin and parenteral agent) or have a physician
documented Reason for Discontinuation of Parenteral Therapy
Patients who receive < than 5 days of overlap therapy, but have a
therapeutic INR must still have documentation of reason for discontinuation
of parenteral therapy. Example “Lovenox discontinued due to INR=2.5”
Discharge on Coumadin teaching-Written discharge instructions should
address compliance issues, dietary advice, follow up monitoring, and
potential for adverse drug reactions/interactions. On Discharge
Instructions-nurse should select “yes” for discharge Coumadin and
Coumadin care note. Provide copy of care note to patient. Provide
education to all patients discharged on Coumadin
CORE Measure Medications
• ACE/ARB at discharge= CHF and AMI core
measures
• Appropriate Antibiotics Selection= SCIP &
Pneumonia
• tPA= Stroke patient’s symptom onset within 3
hours
• Aspirin on arrival and at discharge= AMI core
measure
• Beta Blocker at discharge= AMI core measures
• Pre-operative and Post-operative Beta Blocker=
SCIP
• Statin at discharge= AMI and Stroke core
measures
• Antithrombotic by Day 2 and at discharge=
Stroke core measures
• Anticoagulation at discharge= Stroke patient
with AFIB
• Medication Reconciliation at discharge= CHF
and Stroke patient
Key Points
• Check for pharmacologic and/or mechanical DVT
prophylaxis. Chart mechanical prophylaxis under
patient care intervention(SCD’s). Do not chart
machine not available or up ad lib
• For pharmacological prophylaxis, complete SCIP
checklist and/or Stroke checklist. If VTE not
ordered, contact the physician, and obtain an
order for VTE or an order for contraindication
• Complete DVT-VTE Risk Score on admission
assessment for all patients. If score equal to 2 or
more, apply appropriate mechanical VTE
prophylaxis
• Check for core measure labs/tests. Use your core
measure checklist to assist you.
• Foley must be discontinued by POD 2. Document
reason why foley is not discontinued as a
physician order. Use Foley order set.
• Core Measure checklists- documentation only in
checklist is not sufficient. After contacting
physician, make sure to write as a physician
order.
• Disease specific education is required for your
patient!!!
• Provide Written Discharge Instruction for CHF,
Stroke and Coumadin teaching
Disease Specific
Certification
Stroke
• Use of Stroke Order Set
• Post-TPA Neurological checks every 15 minutes x 2hours,
every 30 minutes x 6 hours, then every 1 hour x 24 hours
• Post-TPA VS every 15 minutes x 2hours, every 30
minutes x 6 hours, then every 1 hour x 24 hours
• Nurse to perform and document NIH stroke Scale
• Repeat NIH stroke scale with any change in patient
condition and document
• Daily Education on new medications given
Heart Failure
• Use of CHF Order Set and progress note
• Documented Daily Weights and I and O’s
• Appropriate Care Plan for Diagnosis
• NYHA classification and Left Ventricular Systolic Function
documented
• EP consult or palliative care consult if appropriate
• Order for heart failure clinical referral
• Education-60 minutes spent for heart failure education
• Daily Education on new mediations given
• 7 day post hospitalization appointment
You are the patient
advocate!!!

difference in your patient’s
