Safer Healthcare Now! Atlantic Node
RECOMMENDED TOOLKIT: SPREAD & SUSTAINABILITY OF BEST PRACTICES
Sujani JayanettiSeptember 9th, 2009
Introduction2
Patient safety is an international, national, and local issue
The range of adverse events that occur in healthcare facilities are astonishing.
Adverse events are unintentional unfavorable events that are due to healthcare management rather than the patient’s disease which may lead to extended hospital stay, disability, or even death (Baker et al. 2004).
Introduction
Adverse events may occur due to many reasons including; infections, medical errors, dangerous omission, incorrect procedures, incorrect diagnosis, and lack of effective team communication.
USA- Hospital Acquired Infections cause 90,000 deaths annually; costing $ 5 billion (Vincent 2006)
Canada- 70,000 adverse events (37%-51% are preventable) (Baker et al. 2004)

Introduction
Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI)- 2003
Safer Healthcare Now! (2005)- Based on 100,000 Lives Campaign in the US
Ten evidenced based interventions

SHN! Ten Evidence Based Interventions
1. Deploy Rapid Response Teams/ Quick Response Teams (RRT/ QRT)
2. Deliver Reliable, Evidence-Based Care for Acute Myocardial Infarctions (AMI)
3. Prevent Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) 4. Prevent Central Line Infections 5. Prevent Surgical Site Infections (SSI) 6. Prevent Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia 7. Prevent harm from antibiotic resistant organisms 8. Medication Reconciliation in long term care to reduce adverse drug
events in long term care settings 9. Prevent harm resulting from falls in long-term care settings 10. Prevent Venous Thromboemoblism (VTE)

Why participate in spread of best practices
Patients’ and carers’ [service] expectations are increasing Wide variation in outcomes and processes between practitioners
and organizations is no longer acceptable New technology is available to improve care and delivery processes What worked in the past won’t necessarily work in the future Shortages of resources, notably time, to invent own solutions If your neighboring colleagues and organizations are improving by
copying and re-inventing good practice, why aren’t you?

Sustainable Organizations9
The IHI Get it Started Kit lists 6 properties that exist in organizations that have shown sustainability of interventions:
1. Supportive Management Structure
2. Structures to “Foolproof” Change
3. Robust, Transparent Feedback Systems
4. Shared Sense of the Systems to Be Improved
5. Culture of Improvement and a Deeply Engaged Staff
6. Formal Capacity-Building Programs

Focus Group10
May 22, 2009 WebEx 6 Participants Atlantic Provinces: Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, Newfoundland Aim: To understand the barriers and success
factors to spread and sustainability of best practices in Atlantic Node SHN!
Focus Group- Emerging themes11
Necessity for a culture change towards patient safety Need for proper leadership & champions Need for clinician involvement Necessity for adequate communication The need for monitoring, measuring, and providing
feedback of interventions The need for more resources (staffing, measurement
resources, training) The false perception that patient safety alone is a good
enough incentive
Survey 12
Created using themes from focus group
34 questions
Sent to 53 key stakeholders in Atlantic Canada: NB, NL, NS, & PEI
45% response rate
Survey Results- Respondents13
Survey Results- Culture
Majority responded- Organizational structure supports patient safety and quality improvement work
Two third responded - quality improvement is nonnegotiable
Two third responded- has a history of sustaining quality improvement work
54% responded- structures in place to sustain and hardwire quality improvement work.
14
Survey Results- How important is patient safety work to:
15
Survey Results- Within your organization there are patient safety
champions among:
16
Survey Results- Education & Training
54% of direct care providers see a positive change
33% of the time physician champions involved in SHN! interventions
50% agreed roles and responsibilities are clearly defined; 25% some progress is being made
95% agreed there needs to be more training continued education
17
Survey Results- Communication
58% responded patient and family perspectives guides quality work; additional 12% said these perspectives were used
Need to be considered since they are clients and contributes to system and behavioural change.
Staff surveys used third of the time; ½ of the organizations use leadership walkabouts
18
Survey Results- Monitoring and Improvement measures
75% of respondents use measurements 42% reported quality improvement data are
displayed in easy to read charts and posted in clinical areas
Only 54% understand what the results of the collected data mean
19
Survey Results- Incentives
96% reported the intrinsic value in providing safer care and was a good incentive to get staff on board
Critical element to improving care However, insufficient for change in behaviour Rewards and recognition necessary Note: Calgary Health Region found physician
buy in difficult without financial incentives (Baker et al. 2008)

Survey Result- Resources21
Eleven Recommendations
1. Steering Committee for SHN! interventions
2. Develop and use a formal improvement spread plan
3. Monitoring, measuring, and feedback
4. Closer integration, engagement, communication among healthcare providers
5. Physician champions for all SHN! interventions
22
Eleven Recommendations
6. Champions not only at the frontline, but also senior leaders
7. Staff and healthcare provider input is needed
8. Training and education
9. Safety Competency Framework by CPSI
10. Recognition and rewarding achievers
11. Compiling and sharing how patient and family perspectives are brought to organizational and provincial decision tables

Take home message:
The whole organization from the Board of Directors to the point of service teams and individuals must be aligned in their efforts towards patient safety improvement and great outcomes. There is a need to take a holistic approach in strengthening all components of the system to maximize patient safety outcomes.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link!
