Always Events
• Picker has determined that an organizing principle focused on the concept of Always Events℠ can be implemented to drive the system to become more patient-centered.
• “Never Events” refer to incidents that should never happen in the delivery of care.
• Patient-focused Always Events℠ are aspects of the patient and family experience that should always occur.

Always Events℠ Challenge Grant Recipients Announced!
• Organization/Institution: Inova Health System Principal Investigator(s): Mary Ann Friesen, PhD, RN, CPHQ Project Title: Developing a Patient-Centered Approach to Handoffs
• Always Event(s): Patients will always be included in the ISHAPED handoff shift-to-shift hand-off process at the bedside as this will add an additional layer of safety by allowing the patient to communicate potential safety concerns.

Background
• “current state of scientific knowledge regarding hospital
handoffs is limited” (Arora, V.M, Manjarrez, Dressler, D.D, Dresler, D.D, Basaviah, P, Halasyamani, L, Kripalani, S., 2009 p. 437)
• “Despite the well-known negative consequences of inadequate nursing handoffs, very little research has been done to identify best practices.. (Riesenberg, L.A , Leitzsch, J., Cunningham, J.M., (2010) p. 24)
Australian Council for Safety and Quality in Health Care. (2005). Clinical handover and patient safety literature review report. Retrieved January 5, 2006, from http://www.safetyandquality.org/index.cfm?page=Publications#clinhovrlit

Fumbled handoffs presents a risk for a breach in patient safety
– Miscommunication – Disruption in continuity of care – Omission of critical data – Medication errors – Serious Adverse Outcomes
![Page 11: Inova Health System: Developing a patient centered approach to handoffs](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050919/5463c1a1b4af9f623f8b466b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Problem Statement
• The last AHRQ Culture of Safety indicated handoff opportunity for improvement
• Analysis of Handoff Policies and Procedures indicates variance in definitions and process across the system
• There is great variation in handoff practices across the system and a lack of hardwired processes to support optimal handoffs
![Page 12: Inova Health System: Developing a patient centered approach to handoffs](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050919/5463c1a1b4af9f623f8b466b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Goals and Objectives of System Handoff Kaizen Performance Improvement - Continuous improvement
• Provide training/exposure to the various handoff methodologies that have been tried with success
• Select a guiding methodology for patient handoffs • Identify key components of effective handoff
processes using the selected methodology • Draft a deployment plan
![Page 14: Inova Health System: Developing a patient centered approach to handoffs](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050919/5463c1a1b4af9f623f8b466b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• Interactive, face-to-face handoff is preferred
• Limit interruptions • Read-back • Un-ambiguous transfer of
responsibility • Critical situation delay transfer • Written summary/information • Receive paperwork • Make it clear - who for what • Monitor • Educate • Support “Good Catch”
Team Reviewed Examples of Strategies and Best Practices (Patterson et al 2004; Park & Mishkin 2005)

• “The transfer of information (along with authority and responsibility) during transitions in care across the continuum; to include an opportunity to ask questions, clarify and confirm.” (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2006)*
– Transfer of information – Transfer of responsibility – Accountability – Acknowledgement – Interaction – Verification – Opportunity to address patient safety
What is a “Handoff” ?
![Page 17: Inova Health System: Developing a patient centered approach to handoffs](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050919/5463c1a1b4af9f623f8b466b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Benefit of Handoff
• Necessary to provide care • 24/7 delivery of care • Multi-disciplinary and
interdisciplinary care • Education • Debriefing/Support • “Rescue and Recovery”

Causes of Handoff Failures • Lack of formal tools to support transitions in
care • Handoffs vary greatly – lack of
standardization (expectation) • Not interactional • Interruptions - staggering • Memory lapse - omissions • Verbal issues - accents, sound alike
medications, acronyms, abbreviations, lack of common understanding
• Lack of access to patient data • Need for skill and education

Where are we today?
• We have an opportunity at Inova to improve handoffs, healthcare communication and culture of safety.
• “Very little evidence to support the use of any specific, structure, protocol or method.” Riesenberg, L et al. (2009)
– Need for discipline specific handoffs studies – Different content needed for different areas
Riesenberg, L et al. (2009) Residents’ and attending physicians’ handoffs: A systematic review of the literature. Academic Medicine 84(12) p. 1775-1787.

Goals
• Improve communication and handoff process • Improve patient safety • Improve team work and collaboration • Improve staff satisfaction with handoff process • Improve patient satisfaction
• Patient Centered Handoff

ISHAPED – Inova’s New Handoff Methodology
I Introduce S Story H History A Assessment P Plan E Error Prevention D Dialogue
• Developed by a system Kaizen team • To be piloted in multiple inpatient units for the shift-to-
shift RN handoff
![Page 22: Inova Health System: Developing a patient centered approach to handoffs](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050919/5463c1a1b4af9f623f8b466b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Four Components 1) Handoff methodology is ISHAPED –Standardize key
elements – as designed in pilot except for Assessment Section Customize the Assessment by unit – owned by the unit’s
CPC with input sought from unit staff 2) Verbal handoff is face to face between oncoming and off-
going RN 3) Handoff happens at the bedside S, H, A outside of room; I,
P, E, D in room. Clinical judgment and common sense used to determine if beside component is inappropriate for a particular patient. Optional entire ISHAPED at bedside.
4) Written ISHAPED handoff template completed by off-going RN and given to oncoming RN
![Page 23: Inova Health System: Developing a patient centered approach to handoffs](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050919/5463c1a1b4af9f623f8b466b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

ISHAPED Tools
• Tool to be customized • Pencil or Pen • Cardstock or Paper • RN give to oncoming RN • Oncoming RN will update
and pass on • RN Report • Tech Report • RN/Tech Report

Qualitative Results from RN Handoff Perception Survey
Summary Patient do not want handoff ???????? Patient do want handoff??????? New Term Bedside Shift to Shift Report

Nurses should include:
• AIDET Acknowledge, Introduce, Duration, Explanations, Thank you
• Method to identify those patients who do not wish to participate
• RN performs hand-off tasks such as: Checking MAG Checking chart orders Checking computer for medications charted Checking computer for orders reviewed by RN In room: Whiteboards, IV lines, etc.

Bottom Line
• The focus is the Patient
• Patient Centered Care
![Page 28: Inova Health System: Developing a patient centered approach to handoffs](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050919/5463c1a1b4af9f623f8b466b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Next Steps
• Youtube • Revise Protocol – (IRB) • Patient and Family Developing a Patient Centered Approach to
Handoffs Research Team Advisory Board will include patient and families to assure that the experiences, perceptions and knowledge are recognized and utilized.
• Interviews • Analysis • Education Plan • Education Materials • Video
