Ideas for Ensuring Patients Receivethe Interventions: the 4Es
• Engage: Stories, show baseline data
• Educate staff on evidence
• Execute– Standardize: Create line cart– Create independent checks: Create BSI checklist– Empower nurses to stop takeoff– Learn from mistakes
• Evaluate– Feedback performance– View infections as defects
Ensure Patients Reliably Receive Evidence
Senior TeamStaffleaders leaders
Engage How does this make the world a better place?
Educate What do we need to do?
ExecuteWhat keeps me from doing it?
How can we do it with my resources and culture?
Evaluate How do we know we improved safety?Pronovost: Health Services Research, 2006

Pre CUSP Work
• Create a CUSP team– Nurses, physician, support staff, infection preventionist– Assign a team leader
• Measure culture in the unit• Work with hospital quality leader or hospital
management to have a senior executive assigned to CUSP team
22
Steps of CUSPSteps of CUSP
1. Educate staff on science of safety
2. Identify defects
3. Assign executive to adopt unit
4. Learn from one defect per quarter
5. Implement teamwork tools
Pronovost J, Patient Safety, 2005
23
Step 1: Science of Safety
• Understand system determines performance
• Use strategies to improve system performance– Standardize– Create independent checks for key process– Learn from mistakes
• Apply strategies to both technical work and teamwork
• Recognize teams make wise decisions with diverse and independent input
24
Step 2: Identify Defects
•Administer the staff safety assessment and ask staff, “How will the next patient be harmed?”•Review error reports, liability claims, sentinel events,or M and M conference
25
Prioritize Defects
• List all defects
• Discuss with staff what are the three greatest risks and what you should work on first
26
Step 3: Executive Partnership
• Executive should become a member of unit team• Executive should meet monthly with unit team• Executive should –
– Review defects– Ensure unit team has resources to reduce risks– Hold team accountable for improving risks and central line-
associated blood steam infection rate
27
Step 4: Learning from Mistakes
• What happened?• Why did it happen (system lenses)?• What could you do to reduce risk?• How do you know risk was reduced ?
– Create policy, process, or procedure– Ensure staff know policy– Evaluate if policy is used correctly
Pronovost 2005 JCJQI
28
Step 4 cont’d: Identify Most Important Contributing Factors
• Rate each contributing factor
– Importance of the problem and contributing factors• In causing the accident • In future accidents
29
Step 4 cont’d: Identify Most Effective Interventions
• Rate each intervention– How well the intervention solves the problem or
mitigates the contributing factors for the accident– Rate the team belief that the intervention will be
implemented and executed as intended
30
Step 4 cont’d: Evaluate Whether Risks Were Reduced
• Did you create a policy or procedure• Do staff know about the policy• Are staff using it as intended• Do staff believe risks have been reduced
31
Step 5: Teamwork Tools
• Call list• Daily goals• Morning briefing• Shadowing• Culture check up
Pronovost JCC, JCJQI
32
Step 5 cont’d: Call List
• Ensure your unit has a process to identify which physician to page or call for each patient
• Make sure call list is easily accessible and updated
33
Step 5 cont’d: Morning Briefing
• Have a morning meeting with charge nurse and unit attending(s) about the unit-level plan for the day
• Discuss work for the day– What happened during the evening– Who is being admitted and discharged today– What are potential risks during the day; how can we reduce these risks
34
Step 5 cont’d: Shadowing
• Follow another type of clinician doing his or her job for between 2 and 4 hours
• Have the shadower discuss with staff what he or she will do differently now that he or she has walked in another person’s shoes
35
CUSP is a Continuous Effort
• Add science of safety education to orientation• Learn from one defect per quarter; share or post lessons • Implement teamwork tools that best meet the unit’s needs• Review details in the CUSP manual
36
Action Items -- CUSP
• Look over the CUSP manual with team members• Brainstorm potential hazards with team • Assess team composition with respect to CUSP elements • Review pre-implementation checklist — where are you?
37
Action Items
• Review content of Web site at www.onthecuspstophai.org• Toolkits• Slidesets• Manuals• Project Management Checklists
– Pre-Implementation Checklist– CEO/Senior Leader Checklist– Infection Preventionist Checklist

CUSP + CAUTI Process and Prevention
Mary Jo Skiba, RN BSNProject Manager QI/Research
40
Objectives
• Apply CUSP interventions to CAUTI project• Remove barriers/identify steps to successful
CAUTI project initiation• Use CUSP to maintain success
41
Science of Safety Education
• Education done prior to CAUTI• Safety survey to identify at-risk departments• Mandatory science of safety training
42
Project Planning
• CAUTI Team• Policies • Awareness campaign• Data collection plan• Project start date• Education• Plan for follow-up
43
Project Planning
• Establish and engage CAUTI team members– Involve frontline staff – Respect the wisdom– Have a physician champion– Include charge nurses/staff development– Engage an executive leader
• Identify defects– Review baseline data – CAUTI rate– Brainstorm safety concerns– Determine the scope of your initial project
• Policy - Urinary catheterization – Review, revise, consolidate– Use policy in toolkit– Don’t re-create the wheel
44
Project Awareness
KEYSTONE HAI(Hospital Associated Infections)
“Bladder Bundle
Project”
Preventing Catheter-Associated Urinary
Tract Infections
• Hospital newsletter• Fliers• Screen savers
45
Data Collection
• Data collectors• Data forms – Add qualifiers
specific to your hospital• Ensure understanding of
project requirements• 5 days week – Monday
through Friday (not weekends)
• Data entry with Web-based program
46
Planning Education
Identify Defects -- Plan Ahead to Prevent Roadblocks • Nursing• Who will be trained• Who will train• How will we train• When will we train• How will we do makeups• How much ongoing
training or re-training needed
• Physicians• Who will train• How will we train• When will we train
47
Educate on the Evidence
1. Didactic• CAUTI face-to-face inservice • All nursing/aides• Guideline for prevention of CAUTI • Physician CME• Department meetings
2. Demonstration of insertion competency
48
Developing CAUTI Education
• Don’t re-create the wheel
• Use other hospitals’ PowerPoint slides
• Multiple CAUTI toolkits
• Update/revise to fit
49
50
CAUTI EducationCAUTI Education
• Trained the trainers• Engaged frontline staff
Urinary Catheter Insertion Competency
• Traveling mannequin• 100 percent of aides and all nurse frequent
inserters (ED, OR, WHU, IP rehab, ICU)• Read policy• Take quiz• Perform procedure• Instant remediation and repeat demonstration
51
Evaluate - Learn from Defects
• 167 Competencies • Average 15 min/staff member• 41 aides, 126 nurses
Improper cleaning 26Improper gloving 24Contaminated field 45Didn’t know needleless 30 cath port for specimens
52
Execute New Plan
• Improvement plan for competency• Require field competency all aides within 2 months,
supervised by RNs• Newly hired aides trained by RNs • Yearly aide hands-on demo of competency
53
Other Strategies
• Caths flagged with date of insertion• Secured to legs• Specimen collection for culture- Don’t use first urine drained from catheter - ED patients – Prior to collection, change catheter unless
known change within 7 days- Inpatients – If catheter in for 7 days must change prior to
specimen collection• Perineal hygiene prior to cath • “John Door” educational posters
54
Outcome = Culture Change3.25
CAUTI’s/Month
1.17 CAUTI’s/Month
Identify Why Defects - CAUTIs
• Cath competency plan not followed• Focus was on EMR implementation• Daily cath patrol not consistent• Prevalence rates up
Execute New Plans
• Annual competency aide and ED/OR nurses • Imbedded competency orientation/annual skill
evaluations• Agenda item every leadership/staff meeting• Charge nurse daily cath patrol • Feedback monthly staff and physicians
57
Execute New Plans
•Build cath necessity into EMR
•Consider decrease size standard cath - #16 to 14
•ED data capture of cath necessity
58
CUSP - Not a Linear Process
“You might have to fight the battle more than once in order to win it.” (Margaret Thatcher)
Don’t worry alone. CUSP is a team sport.
“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.” (Les Brown)
59
Polling Questions1) Have you ever heard of the Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP) before?
– I have never heard of CUSP
– I have heard of CUSP, but have not implemented it
– I have heard of CUSP, but have not successfully implemented it
– Have implemented CUSP successfully and actively using it in my unit
2) My senior executive regularly attends safety meetings on my unit, and can identify the top three safety issues that our safety team is currently working on:
– Very rarely attends and is out of touch with our unit safety issues
– Intermittently attends, and is somewhat aware of our unit safety issues
– Attends whenever possible, and is aware of our unit’s top three safety issues
3) By ensuring that your senior executive is a part of your safety team, meeting monthly with your unit team, and holding your unit team accountable for improving risks surrounding a hospital inquired condition, my unit will be successfully utilizing the executive partnership component of CUSP?
– No, not at all
– Not sure
– Yes, those are the main elements of the executive partnership component of CUSP
