Objective Kotter: Leading Change
Kouzes and Posner: Leadership Challenge CUSP As Applied to CAUTI
Developing Engagement
Create a sense of urgency.
Encourage the heart. ENGAGE, EDUCATE: Science of Safety, the Josie King Story Communicate number of CAUTIs in unit, potential or real
patient harm that could occur, financial cost of CAUTI.[1]
Team Development Create a guiding coalition.
Model the way. ENGAGE: Senior Leadership Partnership with the CUSP Team
Establish unit team with direct care providers, nurses, nurse manager or charge nurse, infection control professional and a physician.
Developing Alignment Develop a shared vision.
Inspire a shared vision ENGAGE: “What hill do we climb?”
Identify with the team what it would look like if catheter utilization was low and CAUTIs were prevented?
Sharing Approach Communicate the vision.
Educate others in daily rounding assessing for catheter presence and indication
Empowerment Empower others to act.
Enable others to act. EXECUTE: Direct care provider involvement, teamwork and communication tools
Work with care team to establish protocols to remove when no longer needed and not to place catheter unless it is indicated
Implementing Change Generate short-term wins.
Challenge the process. ENGAGE, EXECUTE, EVALUATE, Learning from Defects
Improve utilization practices, evaluate improvement in compliance with indications and in symptomatic CAUTI
Spread Consolidate gains and produce more change
ENGAGE, EXECUTE, EVALUATE, Learning from Defects
Work with ICP and senior executive to spread to other units in the organization
Sustainability Anchor news approaches in culture.
Part of the Daily WorkMake daily rounding and catheter utilization assessment part of routine patient care
What is CUSP?
• Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program
• An intervention to learn from mistakes and improve safety culture for sustained improved patient outcomes
8
What Is Patient and Family Engagement ?
Patient and family engagement involves: “collaborating with patients and families of all ages, at all levels of care, and in all health care settings. [Patient and family engagement] acknowledges that families, however they are defined, are essential to patients’ health and well-being.”
9
How and Where to EngagePatients and Families
• Engaging in planning and design – Infrastructure advisory
• Engaging in everyday care – How-to strategies
• Engaging with after an adverse event
10
Hopkins Model for Leading Change
Senior Leaders Team Leaders Frontline Staff Patients and Families
Engage Why is this important? Stories are often used to engage
Educate What do I need to know? Evidence is used to educate
Execute What do I need to do? Tools are used to help implement changes
Evaluate How will I know my actions made a difference? Results are shared
11
The 4 Es
CUSP Science of Safety Principles of Safe Design
• Standardize – Eliminate steps if possible
• Create independent checks
• Learn when things go wrong– What happened– Why– What did you do to reduce risk– How do you know it worked
13
What are Goals of theCAUTI Project?
To reduce average CAUTI rates in participating unit by 25% through the following steps:
• To educate health care workers and patients and families about the appropriate management of urinary catheters, including indications for the placement and continued use of urinary catheters
• To prevent the placement of unnecessary urinary catheters – might patients and families have a role in determining “unnecessary”?
• To promptly remove urinary catheters that are no longer needed – What role might patients and families play in achieving this goal?
14
Involving Patients and Family Members as “Team”
• Serve on the CUSP team• Provide input to improve policies and procedures• Advise on how to communicate an adverse event
to a patient and family members• Present at staff meetings “stories of care”
17
Teams Make Wise Decisions When There is Diverse and Independent Input
• Wisdom of Crowds – Seek involvement from clinicians at all levels of the
organization, and patients and families
• Alternate between convergent and divergent thinking– What does everyone think?– What will be “our” policy/procedure/practice?
• Get from the dance floor to the balcony level– Individual challenges– System challenges
Heifetz R, Leadership Without Easy Answers,1994.
18
Core Concepts of Patient and Family Engagement
• Dignity and respect • Information sharing • Participation• Collaboration
19
Dignity and Respect
• Health care practitioners listen to and honor patient and family perspectives and choices.
• Patient and family make-up, knowledge, values, beliefs, religious and cultural backgrounds are incorporated into the care planning and delivery.
20
Information Sharing
• Health care practitioners share complete and unbiased information with patients and families in ways that are easily understood and address concerns or questions.
• Patients and families receive timely, complete, and accurate information to participate in care and decision making.
21
Participation
• Patients and families are encouraged to participate in care and decision making at the level they choose.
22
Collaboration
• Patients, families, health care practitioners, and health care leaders collaborate in policy and program development, implementation, and evaluation
23
Summary
• Safety is a property of system• We need lenses to see the system including
patient and family lenses• We need to provide a safe space for all
stakeholders, including patients and families to share their voice
• CUSP is a structured approach to learn from mistakes and improve safety culture
• Educating on the Science of Safety is Step 124
Action Items
• Have all members of the CUSP CAUTI Team view the Science of Improving Patient Safety video
• Imagine all of the places where “patient lenses” would add dimension to your improvement efforts
• Develop a plan to invite patients and families to join your team– Consult with your CUSP executive to gain support for your
plan– Consider whether the Science of Safety Video might be
valuable for patient/family advisors
