  17. Mandatory Indicators For accreditation: • Percentage of patients receiving medication reconciliation at admission • MRSA infection rate • C. Diff infection rate • Rate of post surgical infections • Rate of timely administration of prophylactic antibiotic Submitted quarterly in each three year cycle For MOH Public Reporting: • CLI rate • VAP rate • MRSA • C. Diff • VRE • SSI antibx • HH compliance • HSMR • SSCL Submitted quarterly to annually

  18. 2010/2011 Public Reporting Indicators Updated Jan 2011

  19. Reporting: Infection Rates

  20. Reporting: Central Line Infection – Line Insertions

  21. Reporting: Ventilator Associated Pneumonia

  23. Quality Monitoring • Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. • -Albert Einstein • It’s not the data. • It’s what you do with it.

  24. Model of a work system UW-Madison Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) Carayon, P., Hundt, A. S., Karsh, B., Gurses, A. P. Alvarado, C. J., Smith, M., and Brennan, P. F. (2006). Work system design for patient safety: the SEIPS model. Quality and Safety in Healthcare, 15(Suppl I), i50-i58.

  25. Definitions • Patient safety is defined as the reduction and mitigation of unsafe acts within the health care system, as well as through the use of best practices shown to lead to optimal patient outcomes. • Patient Safety Culture is defined as a commitment to applying core patient safety knowledge, skills, and attitudes to everyday work. (CPSI, 2008)

  26. CPSI – The Safety Competencies Framework which includes 6 core domains that provide for safer patient care: Domain 1: Contribute to a Culture of Patient Safety Domain 2: Work in Teams for Patient Safety Domain 3: Communicate Effectively for Patient Safety Domain 4: Manage Safety Risks Domain 5: Optimize Human and Environmental Factors Domain 6: Recognize, Respond to and Disclose Adverse Events Visit CPSI – Safety Competencies www.safetycomp.ca for complete framework information.

  27. Fostering Patient Safety Culture at TOH Need: • A vision of where we want to go • Senior leadership buy-in • Actions to get us there • Passionate clinicians and support staff • Accountabilities defined • An action plan to move forward

  28. Patient Safety Culture Surveys at TOH The Survey on Patient Safety Culture (AHRQ) was launched in August 2006, and offered to all staff, physicians and volunteers at TOH. A second survey, the Patient Safety Culture in Healthcare Organizations Survey, a tool developed by Stanford and modified by York University and supported by AC was run on four TOH inpatient units the following year. Further surveys were done in 2010 and 2011. There were six survey items where the large majority of staff members responded the same way in both surveys. (i.e. there was very little variation in responses); these include: • Asking for help is a sign of incompetence (93% disagree) • If I make mistake, and nobody notices, I do not tell anyone (95% disagree) • I will suffer negative consequence if I report a patient safety problem (86% disagree; 9% neutral) • I engage in unsafe practices in order to get the job done (95% disagree) • I report the errors I make (86% often/always; 11% occasionally) • I learn from errors made by my colleagues (81% often/always; 16% occasionally)

  29. Develop a Culture of Safety • Relay safety reports at shift changes • Create an adverse event respond team • Re-enact adverse events • Appoint a patient safety champion for every area/unit • Simulate possible adverse events • Involve patients in safety initiatives • Create a reporting system (PSLS) • Designate a patient safety officer • Conduct safety briefings • Provide feedback to frontline staff • Conduct patient safety walkabouts (rounds)

  30. Comparison of Patient Safety Culture Surveys Survey on Patient Safety Culture (n 738) Both sets of survey results reflect staff with direct patient interaction only. Patient Safety Culture in Healthcare Organizations Survey(n 109)

  31. Required Organizational Practices

  32. Response Analysis Detection Adverse Event Reporting • Focus on how we can prevent and intercept errors • Statistical data that can be analyzed to determine trends • Understand and improve practices that promote a safe care environment for patients

  33. Definitions A reportable incident is … any unusual occurrence that is inconsistent with the routine care of a patient; or that adversely affects patients, volunteers, visitors or hospital property; or an unexpected negative treatment outcome. e.g. falls, med errors, equipment problems, lab incidents Injury does not have to occur for an event to be reportable (“near misses”)

  34. More definitions As defined in TOH Critical Incident Review Policy and in accordance with the Public Hospitals Act a “Critical Incident” means any unintended event that occurs when a patient receives treatment in the hospital: (a) that results in death, or serious disability, injury or harm to the patient, and (b) does not result primarily from the patient’s underlying medical condition or from a known risk inherent in providing the treatment. As defined in TOH Patient / Visitor Incident Reporting Policy a “Serious Incident”is one that results in a fracture, haemorrhage, aspiration, serious drug variance/reaction or death, transfer to a critical care area, increased length of stay or admission to hospital.

  35. Patient Safety Learning System (PSLS)

  36. Disclosure Disclosure is a professional, ethical, moral and legislative requirement “Disclosure” refers to the communication of information regarding an adverse event, adverse outcome or critical incident. Public Hospitals Act directs that the disclosure conversation must include: (a) the material facts of what occurred with respect to the critical incident; (b) the consequences for the patient of the critical incident, as they become known; and (c) the actions taken and recommended to be taken to address the consequences to the patient of the critical incident, including any health care or treatment that is advisable. Documentation of the disclosure discussion is also a legislative requirement. TOH Disclosure Toolkit available

  37. Goals of Root Cause Analysis (RCA) To find out: • What happened • Why it happened • What can be done to reduce the likelihood of a recurrence? Resources: CPSI RCA Toolkit & TOH RCA Lite Toolkit

  38. Steps of a RCA • Determine the team • Organize the meeting • Gather information and the facts of the incident • Who, What, Where, When but not the Why • At the meeting • Review the information gathered and determine what did happen compared with what should have happened • Determine contributing factors and root causes • Keep asking “why” until the contributing factors and root causes are found • Develop actions and determine performance measurements • Implement the actions • Measure and evaluate the effectiveness of the actions

  39. Common Root Causes Rules, Policies, Procedures, Protocols and Processes: • Lack of awareness of what protocols, policies and procedures are available • Lack of standardization of processes Communication Issues: • Breakdown in communication primarily at the point of transition, both internally and externally • Lack of information in the patient health record Equipment Issues: • Lack of available equipment (department specific requirements) Staff Factors (Knowledge, skill) • Incomplete & inaccurate documentation across all disciplines • Lack of ongoing education related to policies, procedures and protocols
