First, Do No Harm
Issues
– We currently harm around 13% of people who enter our hospitals, many from preventable hospital acquired infections and falls.
– Evidence shows that certain interventions, if systematically applied, will save lives, prevent harm to patients, save money, free up capacity and improve productivity.
Actions
• Stock-take current activity• Provide information for baselines• Define terms, methodology,
baseline for : • Falls causing harm• Pressure Injuries• CLABS• Transfers of care• Patient ID
• Medication Safety• Review : 50 most recent deaths• Global Trigger Tool WDHB &
ADHB• Resource Toolkits
FDNH Key Areas
• Falls – reduce harm
• Pressure injuries – reduce harm
• Global trigger tools
• 50 death review
• Medication safety
• Transfer of care
• CLAB - national
FDNH Falls Focus
• Developing an understanding of the issues
• How to do this with a campaign focus
• Initial workshop – early engagement
• Expert group to establish measures:
• Adopted IHI Model for Improvement
• “Collaborative” approach model
Current Data Processes
• Linked to our 3 key aims– Reduction of harm from falls by 20%– Reduction of PI by 20%– Reduction of CLAB by 40% (national project)
• Developed by expert group Acute care and ARRC representation.

What is a Collaborative?
Brings together groups of practitioners to work in a structured way to improve aspects of the quality of their service.
Involves meetings to learn about:• best practice in the area chosen • quality methods• change ideas • share their experiences of making changes in
local settings. Ovretreit et al. (2002)

Falls Data
• Review of monthly incident reports
• Agreed operational definitions
• Fall rates per 1000 bed days
• DHBs have provide year worth of base line data
• Ongoing monthly reporting
• (see Regional falls / pressure injuries Agreed operational definitions)

CMDHB / FDNH Falls Driver Diagram
Reduce falls resulting in major harm to 0, with a reduction of 20% by December
2013
Leadership actions to reduce harm from
falls
Front line actions to prevent falls
PRIMARY DRIVERS SECONDARY DRIVERSOUTCOME
Board leadership: establish falls prevention group
Governance and risk leadership: improve analysis and learning
from falls
Train and develop staff in falls prevention
Facilities and estates leadership create a safe environment
Post fall protocols: care and secondary prevention
In-depth assessment and multifaceted care plan
Ask about falls on every admission
Avoid unnecessary hypnotic / sedative medication
Ensure patients have appropriate footwear
Ensure patient can contact HCP when requires assistance with
mobilising
INTERVENTIONS
Fortnightly meetings of falls prevention group, problem solving methodology used.
Ongoing in-depth data analysis, review of common and special cause,
specifically looking at high risk areas
CNE carry out Morse risk assessment training for all ward
staff
Falls risk assessment training and falls prevention included in
orientation of all new staff
Patient Falls - - the immediate management guideline
Falls prevention interventions instigated as per risk matrix
Morse falls assessment completed within 6 hours of
admission
Medication review
Non slip socks
Ensure call bell visible and within reach
Nursing Competency Standards in relation to Morse assessment
and appropriate intervention planning
No. of Patient Falls resulting in SAC 1 & 2 & No. of falls/1000 bed days
No. of Patients with an assessment completed within 6 hours, or reassessed when condition changes
Ordered amounts through Oracle system
Audited by patient safety rounds (Future)
Correct interventions implemented audit
Captured on Onestaff
Yearly audit of SSE (SAC 1 & 2) Falls
Location of falls causing serious harm
Lessons learnt (Don’ts)
• Don’t present it solely a nursing problem!• Don’t judge quality of care on crude falls rates, or panic if there
is an increase in one area over a month or two – falls data can be easily skewed.
• Don’t focus on falls prevention at the expense of autonomy and rehabilitation.
• Don’t panic if falls rates are slow to drop over the first few years – there are no quick fixes for something this complex, and this often represents better reporting.
• Don’t forget real falls prevention interventions are what are what are important – not checklists and “box ticking.”
• Don’t benchmark – especially not serious harm falls!
Northern Region Health PlanFirst, Do No Harm
Dos..• Do get accurate data (not easy!)• Do focus interventions on those at most risk of harm should they fall
(ABC) – Age, Bone density, AntiCoagulation• Do post updates to results regularly and prominently – works best in a
localised manner!• Do build actions into processes that already work – for example
assessment tools into admission packages or care plans. • Do try to be resilient – there are doubters and detractors everywhere.
It would be very easy to give up at times!• Do learn from others, including the doubters and detractors!

Why Do Collaboratives work?
• Networked community effects
• Effective, horizontal pathways– Supported by the Model– Connected by the Model
• Forms a community (Learning Sessions)
• Reframes a social problem
• Owned by teams/ frontline staff/sectors
What have we learned?• There is limited use of robust improvement
methodology.
• Need to build capacity and capability
• The value of an Improvement Advisor
• The use of measurement for improvement– (few vital measures – dashboard)
• Challenges of gaining and keeping engagement
