Purpose of a poster…
Present information on current research that may not be totally complete
Present information on methods or observations that are the result of ongoing research
Problems can be discussed with peers Methods can be adjusted to give
optimum results

Let the journey begin…

FOCUS-PDCA
Developed by W. Edwards Deming Provides a model for improving
processes Acronym describes the basic
components of the improvement process
![Page 7: 1 Scientific Poster: Can I Really Do This? By: Carolyn Fiutem, MT, CICAPIC Chapter 26 9/7/09](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c11da6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

FOCUS
Find a process to improve Organize a team to work on the process
improvement Clarify current knowledge of the process Understand/Uncover the process
variation and/or root causes Select a strategy for continued
improvement
![Page 8: 1 Scientific Poster: Can I Really Do This? By: Carolyn Fiutem, MT, CICAPIC Chapter 26 9/7/09](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c11da6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

PDCA
a way of continuously checking your progress in each step of FOCUS process
Plan the process improvement Do the improvement, data collection and
analysis Check the results and lessons learned Act by adopting, adjusting, or
abandoning the change
![Page 9: 1 Scientific Poster: Can I Really Do This? By: Carolyn Fiutem, MT, CICAPIC Chapter 26 9/7/09](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c11da6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

FIND – sources of improvement opportunities
Increasing rates of infection Sentinel events Closed record screens M & M reports Plaintiff claim allegations Congressional inquiries News media stories
![Page 10: 1 Scientific Poster: Can I Really Do This? By: Carolyn Fiutem, MT, CICAPIC Chapter 26 9/7/09](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c11da6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
FIND – the first step of our journey…
Our C. difficile rates continued to rise regardless of hand hygiene, precautions, identification of cases, environmental cleaning….
What are others doing?... Watched and thought…. Researched and read… And researched again…
![Page 11: 1 Scientific Poster: Can I Really Do This? By: Carolyn Fiutem, MT, CICAPIC Chapter 26 9/7/09](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c11da6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
FIND – a process to improve
Is there a clear, simple description of the process?
What is the process? What are the major process problems? What are the perceived boundaries? What are the resources? What are the key issues?
![Page 12: 1 Scientific Poster: Can I Really Do This? By: Carolyn Fiutem, MT, CICAPIC Chapter 26 9/7/09](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c11da6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Organize…
Who are the people involved in the process? (internal/external customers)
A team that knows the process Is there technical guidance and support
available?
![Page 13: 1 Scientific Poster: Can I Really Do This? By: Carolyn Fiutem, MT, CICAPIC Chapter 26 9/7/09](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c11da6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Nursing (pt care floors, ED, OR, PACU, ONC, SDS)
PCAs Physicians Materials services Administration

14
Clarify…current knowledge
Who are the customers? What are their needs? Should boundaries/limits be defined? What is the actual process flow? Is there needless redundancy/
complexity? What are the outcomes/best way for the
process to work?
![Page 15: 1 Scientific Poster: Can I Really Do This? By: Carolyn Fiutem, MT, CICAPIC Chapter 26 9/7/09](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c11da6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Clarify…step 3
No process in place for cleaning BP cuffs
Attempts to use wipes Used EVERYWHERE on EVERYONE In rooms on wall and Dynamaps Research! Other processes at other facilities?
![Page 16: 1 Scientific Poster: Can I Really Do This? By: Carolyn Fiutem, MT, CICAPIC Chapter 26 9/7/09](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c11da6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Understand/Uncover – causes of process variation/poor quality
What are the major causes of variation or poor quality?
Which key characteristics are measurable? What/who/where/when/how will data be
collected? Does the data reflect common or special
cause? Which causes of variation can we change to
improve the process?
![Page 17: 1 Scientific Poster: Can I Really Do This? By: Carolyn Fiutem, MT, CICAPIC Chapter 26 9/7/09](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c11da6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

18
Understand…step 4
No workable way to disinfect current BP cuffs
Vinyl cuffs very expensive No guarantee of partial or complete
compliance with cleaning even with vinyl Disposable BP cuffs available and
economical No reprocessing due to costs
![Page 19: 1 Scientific Poster: Can I Really Do This? By: Carolyn Fiutem, MT, CICAPIC Chapter 26 9/7/09](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c11da6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Select improvement process or Start PDCA Cycle
Select a portion of the process to improve
What is the proposed process improvement
Write the Mission Statement/Goal What changes to the process are most
feasible?

Leadership Determined study time frame Determined implementation steps Determined final process

Plan – the improvement
What is the process improvement selected?
Who will do the pilot? How will it be piloted? Where will it be tested? When will it be tested? What data must be collected to measure
improvement?

Do…step 6
Implemented disposable BP cuffs Jan 1, 2005
Lots of “doubting Thomases” Lack of front-line management support Continued using same definitions Continued using same reporting
mechanism No other IC process changes
![Page 25: 1 Scientific Poster: Can I Really Do This? By: Carolyn Fiutem, MT, CICAPIC Chapter 26 9/7/09](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c11da6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Check – the results…and lessons learned
Did the process improve as expected? Did the process improve from a
customer’s point of view? Does the data support the improvement? How could the team efforts be
improved?
![Page 26: 1 Scientific Poster: Can I Really Do This? By: Carolyn Fiutem, MT, CICAPIC Chapter 26 9/7/09](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c11da6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Check…step 7
Results were 2X as good as expected Use was noticed by patients and families Nosocomial cases reduced by >50%

29
Act
What parts of the improved process needs to be standardized?
Policies or procedures to be revised Who needs to be made aware of the
change? What can be measured to ensure the
gain is held? What are the next steps in continuously
improving this process?
![Page 30: 1 Scientific Poster: Can I Really Do This? By: Carolyn Fiutem, MT, CICAPIC Chapter 26 9/7/09](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efd5503460f94c11da6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Check – lessons learned (the hard way!) Don’t make assumptions about the
process without thorough follow-up! Don’t be too trusting. Never assume no one will change your
process and not tell you! Be prepared to defend your decision at
any time. Continuously review your process to
identify new improvements
