  2. Healthcare Has Changed… But… Not Enough Prepared by :

  3. Why Do We Need a Business Case? • Dissatisfaction with current state • Shared recognition of the need for, and logic of, SPHM • Need for SPHM as a combination of threats and opportunities ‘Urgency’ to build momentum for acceptance of SPHM Prepared by :

  4. Categories of Value Prepared by :

  5. QualityCare Patient Satisfaction Staff Satisfaction

  6. Reduce Exposure to Hazards Injury rates Injury frequency Lost workdays Restricted workdays Direct cost of injuries Indirect cost Total cost Prepared by :

  7. Personal Protective Equipment Yet, we routinely accept exposureto musculoskeletal hazards. Prepared by :

  8. Incident Cost Iceberg • INJURY & ILLNESS • DIRECT COSTS • Medical • Compensation costs • INDIRECT COSTS • Overtime • Quality • Patient injury • Hiring/Retraining • Short-term disability • Productivity/Efficiency • Underreporting Prepared by :

  9. Closer View of WRMSDs REACTIVE APPROACH Lagging Indicators CRITICAL (Disability) SEVERE (Surgery) SERIOUS (Incident) MAJOR (Pain) MINOR (Discomfort) UNRECOGNIZED (Tasks) PROACTIVE APPROACH Leading Indicators Ergonomic Risk Factors Prepared by :

  10. Replacement Staff vs. Core Staff • What do we know about core staff? • Who is providing bedside care? • How does it impact quality? • Is this effective or efficient? Prepared by :

  11. Magnet® Recognition Program Culture of Safety: EP30. Describe and demonstrate “The structure(s) and process(es) used by the organization to improve workplace safety for nurses based on standards such as the ANA’s Safe Patient Handling and Movement” Ref: ANCC (2008) The Magnet Model Components and Sources of Evidence. ANCC, Silver Spring, MD, p.19. Prepared by :

  12. Improve Patient Quality Patient experience Length of stay Never events Negative patient outcome: falls, skin and respiratory health Prepared by :

  13. Staffing Prepared by :

  14. Patient Outcome Patient Experience Prepared by :

  15. Immobility • Functional decline • Reasons for patient immobility • Consequences of patient immobility • respiratory (pneumonia) • CV (DVT, hypotension) • GI (constipation) • musculoskeletal • skin (pressure ulcers) • psychosocial Prepared by :

  16. Understanding the Value • Reduced patient falls and associated costs • Reduced patient ulcers and treatment costs • Increased patient satisfaction • Reduced costs from WC and lost/ restricted workdays • Improved worker satisfaction • Improved worker retention and reduced turnover Prepared by :

  17. Systems and Processes • Efficiency • number of staff to do task? • time spent waiting for assistance? • Non–value added tasks • Wasted motion and physical effort • Barriers to efficiency Prepared by :

  18. What is Necessary for Change to Occur? Model to follow—implementation process: • outlines the organizational strategy • provides an understandable approach • organizes tools and resources Focus on process! Prepared by :

  25. Gaining Commitment • Identify direct and indirect cost of WRMSDs • Calculate overtime, premium labor and agency staff • Relate to operations and profit margin • Link with patient safety and satisfaction • Consider the dollars of reimbursement needed to offset workers’ compensation claims? Prepared by :

  26. Return on Investment • Productivity • Efficiency • Performance • Injury risk • Probability of injury • Injury consequence Prepared by :

  27. Operating Margin Impact Prepared by :

  28. Indirect Costs 3–10 X Direct Costs
