Slide 5

Quality Health Care-

“the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge” (p. 1161)

Lorh KN N Engl J Med. 1990;332:1161-71.

Slide 6

Change Requires RESPECT

Speak respectfully of the past, realistically of the present and optimistically of the future….

Slide 7

Begin with the END in mind

• Remember – Quality issues are often process related, not people related
• Fix the process, fix the problem:
  • Standardize, simplify
  • Decrease reliance on individual decision-making

Slide 8

Lessons Learned = Sustaining the Gain

• Recognize that change takes time

Change takes time. The problem is that people stop to change when they don't see the result immediately. —Wilson Kanadi Image: boardofwisdom.com and logo.

Slide 9

Lessons Learned = Sustaining the Gain

• Ensure administration is aware of your efforts and results
• Encourage and reward participation and problem identification
• Avoid complacency with success

com.pla.cen.cy
Spelled[kuh m-pley-suh n-see]
–noun, plural -cies

1. a feeling of quiet pleasure or security, often while unaware of some potential danger, defect, or the like; self-satisfaction or smug satisfaction with an existing situation, condition, etc.

Slide 10

 

Lessons Learned = Sustaining the Gain

• Keep CAUTI project on the “front burner”
• Staff meetings, create healthy competition
• Jerri’s Story:

Image: After the first bullet, a photo of 2 electric burners, one fully heated red.

Slide 11

Lessons Learned = Sustaining the Gain

• Continue to work on staff competency (insertion and foley care techniques)
• Hard wire Foley education into all new employee education

Image: Photo of health professional practicing catheter insertion and foley care techniques.

Slide 12

Lessons Learned = Sustaining the Gain

• Set short term attainable goals
• Celebrate success – Create fun!!!
• Continue to engage the nay-sayers

Images: 2 posters. The right poster says "Celebrate what you've accomplished, but raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed." Mia Hamm. The bottom poster shows four hands holding little signs saying Ha!, Never, No, and Impossible.

Slide 13

 

Lessons Learned = Sustaining the Gain

• Treat a “CAUTI with respect – Learning from defects tool

Slide 17

The Power of Measuring Results

• If you do not measure results, you can not tell success from failure.
• If you can not see success, you can not reward it.
• If you can not reward success, you are probably rewarding failure.
• If you can not see success, you can not learn from it.
• If you can not recognize failure, you can not correct it.
• If you can demonstrate results, you can win public support.

Adapted from Osborne & Gaebler, 1992

Slide 18

Learning from Data

• We don’t all define a process in the same way.
• We all assume steps without spelling them out.
• We don’t all address a problem in the same way, and  there are variations in our processes.
• Without using data and validation, we will not get the same results.

Slide 19

Ten Steps to Designing, Building and Sustaining a Results-Based Monitoring and Evaluation System

1. Conducting a Readiness Assessment
2. Agreeing on Outcomes to Monitor and Evaluate
3. Selecting Key Indicators to Measure Outcomes
4. Baseline Data on Indicators- Where Are We Today?
5. Planning for Improvement - Selecting Results Targets
6. Monitoring for Results
7. The Role of Evaluations
8. Reporting Your Findings
9. Using Your Findings
10. Sustaining the M&E System Within Your Organization

The World Bank, 2004

Slide 20

Ways to Use Data

Slide 21

WHAT is the PDSA Cycle?

• A process improvement approach to evaluate change.
• This model allows for integration of new and existing systems.
• This model promotes small scale rapid cycle change over short periods of time.

Slide 22

The PDSA Cycle for Learning and Improvement

Image: The PDSA Cycle.

Slide 23

Repeated Use of the Cycle

Image: Drawing depicting circles of PDSA going up a hill. At the bottom is says Hunches Theories Ideas. Over the PDSA circles it has an arrow pointing up saying Data. At the top it says Changes That Result in Improvement.

Slide 24

Use the PDSA Cycle for:

• Testing or adapting a change
• Implementing an improvement
• Spreading the improvements to the rest of your organization
• Maintaining a process by reassessing and making it current

Slide 25

PDSA Cycles Must Be:

• Active:
  • Quickly plan and make process changes
• Iterative:
  • Cycle after cycle
• Learning:
  • Take time to study effects of your actions

Slide 26

Root Cause Analysis

• A way of looking at unexpected events, data results, and outcomes to determine all of the underlying causes of the event and recommend changes that are likely to improve them.
• Data can be validated, vetted, and changes made to achieve outcomes

Slide 27

RCA Tools

• The 5 Whys?
• Appreciation
• Drill Downs
• Cause and Effect Diagrams (Fishbone Diagrams)

Slide 28

Success

“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”

General Colin L. Powell

Slide 29

Carrots and Sticks Methodology

• Base these carrots and sticks on your local hospital culture
• You know what drives your employees and staff
• Carrots: CAUTI-Carnival, CAUTI-Cash, Increased bonuses, etc.
• Sticks: Negative incentives, Peer Pressure, No bonus, etc.
• CMS Value Based Purchasing

Slide 30

Use Engaging Improvement Methods

• Use Data for feedback: rapid cycle
• Use Data to generate awareness, not to inflame
• Show Evidence-Based Guidelines, as needed

Christin Ko

Image: Sample line chart showing CAUTI data.

Slide 31

Using Data for Sustainability

• Consider Cultural Assessment
• Present Data on CAUTI: Initially and Regularly
  • Prevalence
  • Morbidity
  • Mortality
• Present the Business Case for CAUTI Prevention:
  • CAUTI Cost Calculator
  • LOS Reduction
  • CMS Non-reimbursement Policy for HAI

Slide 32

Carrots and Sticks

Which one?

• Not as simple as choosing one or other
• Success depends on:
  • Spin you put on incentives
  • Having incentives real-time
  • Continuing strategies your institution employs
  • Carrots dressed as sticks may be most important

The Economist, “Designing Rewards: Carrots Dressed as Sticks,” print edition, January 16, 2010

Slide 33

The Economist, “Designing Rewards: Carrots Dressed as Sticks,” print edition, January 16, 2010

Carrot: Incentive bonus = Good performance

Carrot Disguised as Stick: Incentive bonus minus potential penalty = Better performance

Slide 34

The Economist, “Designing Rewards: Carrots Dressed as Sticks,” print edition, January 16, 2010

• Clearly, both of these programs relied on carrots — but in one, the carrots were enticingly dangled to motivate positive efforts, while in the other, the carrots were “frozen,” and used to give employees the occasional whack when needed.
• What the researchers discovered was that “fear of loss was a better motivator than the prospect of gain.”
• Both approaches worked, but employees were more motivated to work harder to ensure that an award was not taken away.
• “Carrots...may work better if they can somehow be made to look like sticks.”

Slide 35

The New England Journal of Medicine, “Redesigning Employee Health Incentives — Lessons from Behavioral Economics,” August 4, 2011

• In an article in The New England Journal of Medicine, the authors stated that the “effectiveness of incentive programs depends critically on how the incentives are timed, distributed and framed.”
• Several factors might influence outcomes:
  • The most common implementation mechanism is less effective dollar for dollar than other approaches.
  • One of these key factors is that most individuals “...place more weight on the present than the future — they’re more attracted by immediate than delayed benefits and more deterred by immediate than delayed costs.”

Emily C. Haisley, Kevin G. Volpp, Thomas Pellathy, and George Loewenstein, “Promoting Completion of Health Risk Assessments with Lottery Incentives.” Am J Health Promot (in press).

Slide 36

Barriers: Using Data for Sustainability

• Not using data effectively:
  • Meeting regularly/reviewing data
  • Validating and Discuss with Outliers
• Not having real-time data – stay current
• Not using data as part of culture of safety
• Not having explicit intent to continue a program and resources:
  • Don’t just give “lip-service”
  • Prove it!
• Changing the people involved in the success:
  • Moving them up the administrative ladder

Slide 37

Creating a Culture of Confidence

• Confidence is at the very heart of effective performance.
• Confidence comprises “positive expectations for favourable outcomes” (Professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter)
• On the way up, success creates positive momentum. People who believe they are likely to win are also likely to put in the extra effort at difficult moment to ensure that victory.
• On the way down, failure feeds on itself. Growth cycles produce optimism, decline produces pessimism.”

Moss Kanter, R (2004). Confidence: Leadership and the Psychology of Turnarounds. London: Random House.

Slide 38

Building a Culture of Confidence

• How can we build and maintain a culture where success cycles are amplified and failure cycles are minimized?
  • Build Awareness of Strengths
  • Cultivate a Positive, Appreciative Environment
  • Ensure Leaders and Managers Model the Way
  • Make Customer and Stakeholder Feedback Visible:
    • Transparency
  • Build Strong Cohesive Teams and Social Networks

Moss Kanter, R (2004). Confidence: Leadership and the Psychology of Turnarounds. London: Random House.

Slide 39

Sustaining a Culture of Confidence

• Building a culture of confidence is largely about amplifying successes and strengths to ensure the ‘voices’ of possibility, optimism and self-belief drown out the ‘voices’ of self-doubt, negativity and pessimism.
• With the right mindset, approaches-using DATA and results real time, leaders can build accountability for the turnaround, focus on small ‘wins’ to start build confidence
• Inspires people to optimize their strengths and take initiative, accountability:
  • Sustain a Culture of Confidence.

Slide 40

Successful Hospitals Examples

• Using validated resources:
  • AHA/IHI collaboratives
• Adopting a culture of safety:
  • ������ƵCulture of Safety Survey
  • Take results seriously
  • Educate and re-educate new/established hires
• Top Down/Down to Top Mentality:
  • CEO to Environmental services to patients and families

Slide 41

Successful Hospitals Examples

• Process to evaluate, validate, publish, celebrate data:
  • Know what works at your institution
  • Make it a part of the culture/behavior
• Transparency – patients and families are part of committee
• Celebrate wins, publicly evaluate losses:
  • Make your data and processes transparent

Slide 42

Quality Improvement is a Process, not an Event

Slide 43

Summary

• Use process to collect, evaluate, adapt, and publicize data
• Use real-time data/transparency
• Utilize specific data mining tools that work:
  • Monitor and evaluate frequently
• Process of “Carrots and Sticks”
• Participate in AHA collaboratives and ������Ƶresources to maximize effects
• Use your data to be accountable, transparent, and sustain your Culture of Confidence

    • Alternate bag hanger:
      • Patient beds do not have an appropriate hanger for catheter bag while in the low position
      • CT tables needed place to hang catheter bag
    • Catheter Care charting not being done in EMR:
      • Educated Nurse Techs and added to charting

Slide 74

Sustaining CUSP

• Sustaining CUSP takes work and your team should expect to face challenges. The struggles often come because the team has lost sight of the steps of CUSP.

Slide 75

The Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP)

• Educate staff on the science of safety
• Identify defects
• Partner with the Senior Executive
• Learn from defects
• Improve teamwork and communication

Slide 76

How is CUSP Different?

• CUSP identifies problem areas:
  • What staff think are impeding patient care vs. what managers/directors think are priority areas
• CUSP improvement tools are designed for bedside caregivers – easy for busy staff to use:
  • Unit drives its own quality
• Lean/Six Sigma/CQI – focus more on streamlining the process than identifying the problem areas
• CUSP can complement other quality improvement methods – must use multiple tools!

Slide 77

Integrate & Coordinate With Other Efforts

Images: Logos of other patient safety programs including Six Sigma, Lean, TeamSTEPPS, PDSA, On the CUSP: Stop HAI, and Just Culture.

Slide 78

Basic Principles of Safe Design

• Standardize
• Create independent checks for key process
• Learn from mistakes

Slide 79

Basic Principles of Safe Design

Assess whether your unit continues to practice safe design principles

• Have your CUSP team name the 3 principles of safe design and write down an example of how you or your team has applied each of these principles.

Slide 80

Identifying Defects: Defects Can Come From Many Different Sources

• Staff feedback
• Event reporting
• Quality and safety measures
• Gaps in application of the evidence
• Staff Safety Assessment survey
  • How will the next patient be harmed?
  • What steps can you do to prevent this harm?
  • By either preventing the mistake, making the mistake visible or mitigating the harm

Talk about administering the SSA survey every 6 months to 1 year

• Great tool to help staff own patient safety

Keep track of the safety issues identified and status of resolution

Image: Screen shot of the Armstrong Institute CUSP Tool Science of Safety Issues form.

Slide 81

Learn from Defects

• As one of the principles of safe design—we need to learn from our mistakes
• Use the Learn from a Defect tool for any defect you identify:
  • Staff concern, incident report, gaps in application of the evidence
  • We use it as the framework for post fall/skin huddles, morbidity and mortality conference, voice reports, reviewing unplanned transfers to a higher level of care, etc.
  • Make the tool easily accessible (e.g...: badge cards)

Images: Screen shots of 2 information sheets from Saint Joseph Mercy Hospital. One is titled "Mindfully Learning from Defects" and the other "Learning from Defects Fast Facts".

Slide 82

Measure How Well You Are Sustaining Your CUSP Work

• You want to evaluate if your team is achieving the CUSP mission:
  • Empowering the staff to own safety
  • Developing strong partnerships with your senior executive
  • Continuously learning  from defects
  • Working to strengthen teamwork and patient safety culture

Slide 83

Measure How Well You Are Sustaining Your CUSP Work

CUSP score card (use this or develop your own)

• Number of CUSP meetings canceled within last 6 months (Goal: 0)
• Number of Senior Executive absences from a CUSP meeting within the past 6 months  (Goal: 0)
• Percentage of staff that have received science of safety training (Goal: >90% within past 2 years)
• CUSP Champion, Provider Champion and Unit Manager have received training in CUSP and patient safety topics (Goal: all three receive training)
• Number of defects learned from in past 6 months using the Learning from Defects tool  (Goal: >2)
• Number of patient safety improvement plans currently in effect (Goal: >2)
• Average percent positive score for Safety Climate Domain from most recent safety survey (Goal: >80%)
• Unit response rate for most recent safety survey (Goal: >80%)

Define your own CUSP team measures of success

Slide 84

Safety Culture

• Continue to assess safety culture annually
• Evaluate the action plan you developed after the last safety survey and see how far you’ve come
• Celebrate successes and share with all frontline staff to let them know their voices have been heard
• Consider the barriers you still face and what you will need to do to overcome them

Slide 85

Teamwork and Communication Tools

Select other tools (at least one every 6 months/one year) to implement:

• Learn from a defect
• SBAR (Team STEPPS)
• Daily rounds/goals
• Pre-procedure briefing (Team STEPPS)
• Morning briefing (Team STEPPS)
• Huddles
• Shadowing
• Crucial Conversations
• Executive Safety Rounds/Partnership
• Handoff standardization (Team STEPPS)

Slide 86

Other Strategies to Sustain CUSP

• Make science of safety training a part of orientation for all new staff regardless of role (Goal: 90% of all staff trained every two years)
• Advertise CUSP meetings widely and open meetings to new team members
• Encourage new staff to take an active role in CUSP
• Hold periodic meetings for new staff to provide an overview of the CUSP approach and the important role of frontline staff
• Regularly ask staff to identify defects (can use SSA, part of Executive safety rounds)
• Make the CUSP initiative visible (e.g..: through bulletin boards, newsletters, review of results from LFD, etc.)
• Expand the CUSP team/concepts to other units
