Continuous Quality Improvement
“a system that seeks to improve the provision of services with an emphasis on future results. Like total quality management, CQI uses a set of statistical tools to understand subsystems and uncover problems, but its emphasis is on maintaining quality in the future, not just controlling a process.” Mosby’s Medical Dictionary, 8th Edition,
2009

Risk Management
“analysis of possible loss: the profession or technique of determining, minimizing, and preventing accidental loss in a business, e.g. by taking safety measures and buying insurance.” Encarta World English Dictionary 2009

Sentinel Events
A sentinel event is an unexpected occurrence involving death or serious physical or psychological injury, or the risk thereof. -- Such events are called "sentinel" because they signal the need for immediate investigation and response. JCAHO

Dental “Sentinel” Events
Extraction or treatment of the wrong tooth Parasthesia Medical complications requiring hospitalization Wrong medication Failure to premedicate Aspiration of foreign object Burns or lacerations requiring sutures Medical emergency related to sedation/general
anesthesia Hospitalization associated with dental
treatment

What is a Safety Culture?
Leadership Responsibility Evaluation Solutions Correction Communication Avoiding blame

Assessment
Root Cause Analysis Clinical microsystems
![Page 22: THE INTEGRATION OF QUALITY ASSURANCE, RISK MANAGEMENT, AND PATIENT SAFETY: The Sharing of Information for Outcomes Improvement](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042814/551799ce55034645368b58c9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Clinical Microsystems
Small organized groups of providers and staff caring for a defined population of patients. (Mohr 2002) Failures at system level were responsible
for 75% of adverse drug events in healthcare (Leape 1991)
![Page 23: THE INTEGRATION OF QUALITY ASSURANCE, RISK MANAGEMENT, AND PATIENT SAFETY: The Sharing of Information for Outcomes Improvement](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042814/551799ce55034645368b58c9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Clinical Microsystems and Patient Safety
Microsystems must be: Preoccupied with safety Reluctant to simplify interpretations Sensitive to operations Committed to resilience Deferrent to expertise on the front line
Mohr, 2002
![Page 24: THE INTEGRATION OF QUALITY ASSURANCE, RISK MANAGEMENT, AND PATIENT SAFETY: The Sharing of Information for Outcomes Improvement](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042814/551799ce55034645368b58c9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Characteristics of Effective Microsystems
Integration of information Measurement Interdependece of the core team Supportiveness of the larger system Constancy of purpose Connection to the community Investment in improvement Alignment of role and training

Response and Evaluation
“seven pillars” approach (UIMCC) Grounded in transparency Disclosure of errors Systems-induced errors vs. reckless
disregard
![Page 26: THE INTEGRATION OF QUALITY ASSURANCE, RISK MANAGEMENT, AND PATIENT SAFETY: The Sharing of Information for Outcomes Improvement](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042814/551799ce55034645368b58c9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Seven Pillars
1. Reporting – professionals and patients2. Investigation3. Communication and disclosure4. Apology and remediation5. System improvement6. Data tracking and performance evaluation7. Education and training

Guiding Principles (UIMCC)
1. We will seek to provide effective and honest communication to patients and families following patient safety incidents involving patient harm.
2. We will apologize and provide rapid compensation when inappropriate or unreasonable medical care causes patient harm and defend rigorously care that we believe was appropriate.
