Current State of Quality
We have focused intensely for more than a decade on improving quality and safety
Yet, quality problems still surround us
– Health care associated infections
– Medication errors that cause harm
– Failed communication in transitions of care
More than 400,000 harmful, preventable, bad outcomes occur in hospitals every year.

Robust Process Improvement™(RPI) – A New Way in Delivering ResultsUsual Approaches:
“One-size-fits-all” works well only in very limited circumstances:
•Process varies little from place to place•Causes of failure are few and common
New Generation of Best Practices:Complex processes require RPI to
produce solutions – customized to an organization’s most important causes

Some Important Causes of Hand Hygiene Failures
1. Faulty data on performance
2. Inconvenient location of sinks or hand gel dispensers
3. Hands full
4. Ineffective education of caregivers
5. Lack of accountability
Each requires a very different strategy to eliminate

Memorial Hermann’s Story: Getting to Zero
Leadership commitment to zeroMH Woodlands Hospital was among the 8
Center hospitals that carried out the hand hygiene project and got impressive results
2010: MH committed to use TST to improve hand hygiene system-wide (12 hospitals)
Baseline (150 inpatient units) = 44%– Range (12 hospitals ): from 21% to 65%– Aim: to exceed 90%

Why is culture important?
Lack of an optimal safety culture allows unsafe behaviors/conditions to be present, but not always identified or acted upon, before they cause harm [to patients].
“Culture is what people do when no one is looking.”

What is the impact?The price of avoidable harm1:
– $17.1 billion in 2008 – On average, the cost per medical error was
$11,366.
The price of unsafe patient handling:– Direct and indirect costs associated with
only back injuries: Estimated to be $20 billion annually2

What is the impact?
In 2010, nursing aides, orderlies, and attendants had the highest rates of MSDs3:– 27,020 cases--which equates to an
incidence rate (IR) of 249 per 10,000 workers
– More than seven times the average for all industries.

The myth:
For decades, we were persuaded that we could avoid back injuries simply by using “ergonomic” manual lifting techniques and performing abdominal strengthening exercises.
We now know better, but….

– And reporting, triage, action and communication
Increase the quality and effectiveness of the communication– What happened to our report?
Increase the effectiveness of the actions– Is this going to prevent a recurrence?

How does culture relate to safe lifting?Acceptance and buy-in of the
technological and procedural Recognition of errors, close calls and
disregard of procedures– Barriers to use– Policy adherence– Learn from close calls
Change in focus to prevention – Errors will never be completely eliminated

How Have Others Done It?
“High reliability organizations” manage very serious hazards extremely well
– Commercial aviation, nuclear powerWhat do they all have in common?
– Highly effective process improvement
– Fully functional safety cultureDiscover and fix unsafe conditions early“Collective mindfulness”

Success in Safe Handling
Leaders establish a safety-oriented culture that supports caregivers to perform safe handling.– Peer safety leaders/Lift champions
Ability to report injuries/errors/near misses without fear of being blamed.– Learning Culture– Leadership then follows up and

Why do we need to change?
Why is the change important?
Demonstrate the need to change
– What does the data show?
– Who or what is driving the initiative?
– What are the threats if we do nothing?
– What are the opportunities with success?
Create a sense of alignment
– Do we all see the same problem?
– Do we all share the same goals?

What will the future state look like? If you had a crystal ball and could go into the future,
what would you see?– What behaviors would we see more of?– What behaviors would we see less of?
Create a vision for the direction you want to move– A picture paints 1,000 words
Develop key words and phrases for the team to use when describing the vision– To motivate and energize

Engaging Key Stakeholders
Identify key stakeholders and gauge their support
Utilize early adopters to build additional support
Identify resistance early and have a plan of action to address
– Where is resistance coming from?
– Why is there resistance?
– Understand stakeholder concerns and identify wins

Can we operationalize the change?It looks good on paper, but do we have
the structure in place to support the change?
– Right people and skill sets
– Right incentives
– Right message and medium to communicate
– Right technologies

Leadership Commitment and Support Ever hear the phrase “Follow the Leader”?
– Leadership commitment and support is crucial to any change initiative
– Leadership support is maintained throughout the project
Leadership’s involvement in change initiatives– Shows importance of change– Helps others move through change initiatives– Helps reduce resistance
People focus their time, passion, and energy on things that are important to them
