PearlsMultidisciplinary•It is not just the work of the Quality Improvement Department; all departments must be involved• Must be a collaborative effort from the top-down and bottom-up• Increased communication and input from management staff
Assign ownership and expectations• Establish timelines for project deliverables•Continue to meet with definite reporting timeframes
Educate•Keep the staff, medical staff, and board informed
Defining Moments In Our JourneyDefining Moments & Commitment to Patient Safety:• 2009-New CEO who had experience in Quality & Patient Safety; new Director of Quality Management hired
• 2010- Patient Safety Plan & Commitment to Patient Safety developed; revised incident reporting system & tools; fall team formed; medication error team formed; Quality Council & reporting revised; education of changes to all (hospital wide); Culture of Patient Safety Survey implemented; Patient Safety Week recognized
•2011-Fall prevention program revised; education of changes to all (hospital wide); Glycemic Control team formed; CLABSI team formed
7
Defining Moments In Our Journey• 2012- Participation in the Hospital Engagement Network (HEN) &
education to management team; Regrouped on readmissions due to data issues; formation of Readmission Reduction team; OATS team formed; HCAHPS training; CAUTI team formed; Marketing of Patient Safety through website, banners, boards, & local newspaper
• 2013-Strategies to reduce readmissions implemented-bedside shift reporting, white boards, rounding (hourly, nurse manager, leadership), discharge follow up calls, follow up appointments made, discharge folder, pharmacist educating high risk patients, follow up calls for ER patients, working with hospice and home heath agencies, participating in GMCF Care Transitions, participating in MATCH, Patient & Family Engagement; Case Manager position job duties aligned with reducing readmission efforts to include discharge process
Breakthrough Strategy• Major Challenges Encountered
– Limited Resources (human, time, financial)– Implementation of EHR– Culture change – Training
• Strategies to Overcome– Time management, utilizing resources from the HEN– Constant education and re- education, dedicated point person for EHR– Reinforcement of rationales, hearing stories from peers at other facilities– Make it fun, pertinent, convenient, personal, and using personalized teaching
