Risk Management through Information Technology Support in Hong Kong (Hospital Authority)
Dr. Lui Siu-FaiService Director (RM&QA), NTEC
Hospital Authority, Hong Kong

“Safe” Journeythrough the Hospital
for our patientsand staff
☺
-
“Unsafe” Journeythrough the Hospital
adverse event / injury≈ 10% of patients
≈ 7% of staff“To Err is Human”
Institute of Medicine Report 1999974,400 to 1,243,200 incidents annually
8th leading cause of death (98,000)> RTA, Breast Cancer, AIDS
-
In any of the busy hospitals in Hong Kong, “things” are happening all the time, not so uncommonly leading to ………..adverse events (& luckily near misses).
Medication errors Fall Missing patient
Blood transfusion incident Complex procedures Work place violenceBlood transfusion reaction Faulty equipments
-
To reduce harm caused to patients
with the launch of the World Alliance
for Patient Safety.
To advance the patient safety
goal of “First do no harm”

Critical Results Alert System (CRAS)
Lab Staff5. call the corresponding ward
LIS1. found a lab report having critical results and send an alert signal
CMS WS2. alarm triggered and wait for user acknowledgement
Ward Staff3. acknowledge the alert LIS WS
4. alarm will be triggered if NO acknowledgement

Critical Results Alert System
Useful for in-patient critical result alert(Although some lab prefers to ring up directly)
A system is required for out-patient :notification of important result from routine investigation (patient may not return for follow up for some time)
“Push” and “pull” concept- to allow user to specify to be alerted when result is available

IT induced risk (identification errors)
With the use of CMSMany potential danger traps for users
to make errors (patient selection, etc) .
Risk identification (reporting, analysis)
Risk reduction strategy / measures
-
Measures introduced to reduce potential errors when using CMS (1)
1. Select patient boxNot to leave the ID / OP number of the last patient in the “Select Patient” box
2. Patient selection panel (1)Shading of alternative lines
3. Patient selection panel (2)Reposition Chinese name, Sex/age, (ID) closer to left side of the panel
-
Measures introduced to reduce potential errors when using CMS (2)
4. Patient Information Box
To make the patient information box more striking - bold, yellow background. - simple clear information- larger font for the name

Measures introduced to reduce potential errors when using CMS (3)
5. Print queue downtime handlingNot to print lab report to opposite (alternative ward) if the printer is not function, to print to other computer of the same ward with warning, etc
6. Disable PSP patient selection and scanned of barcode working together
-
Other possible ways to reduce potential errors (identification)
1. Confirmation of logging onto the right patient when selecting a new patientConfirmation check or “ talk back”[front line - objection !]
2. Warning when a CMS station is logged onto another wardWarning and / or different colour
-
Other possible ways to reduce potential errors
3. Name and ID on report printout Larger font, Chinese name, highlighted, in box, etc.
4. Print out important informationAllergy alert / Case Summary To print allergy alert / Case Summary information - when admitted or transferred to a ward (forcing function when nurse assigning a bed no).
- for patient (instead of hand written allergy card)

Prevention of blood transfusion error
HA to introduce Unique Patient Identification device for Type and Screen for all acute HA hospitals (Annual Plan target 2006 / 2007 )
In the process of sourcing appropriate barcode scanner (1D or 2D) and printer
Exploring the option to extend barcode scanning for patient identification to other areas
-
Unique Patient Identification device
At PYNEH, May 1999 to April 2006 (7 years) 82,085 blood transfusion requests (T&S) No cases of blood transfusion errors to wrong patient. Wrong labelling / request was detected at bedside
1st generation UPI : development with IT team 4Q1998, full implementation in PYNEH May 1999.
2nd generation UPI : Joint partnership with Rapid Product Development Syndicate,PolyU Technology & Consultancy Company Limited, The Hong Kong Polytechnic UniversityCommened 2Q2002, Fully implemented in PYNEH & RHTSK since July 2004.

Role of Computerized Physician Order Entry System in facilitating medication errorsKoppel R, et al. JAMA Mar 2005 Vol 293:10:1197
22 types of medication error risk.- Information errors- Human-machine interface flawsFragmented CPOE displaysInventory displays mistaken for dosage guidelinesSeparation of functions that facilitate double dosing / incompatible ordersInflexible order format
75% of house staff (N=261) reported observed these error risks, - more than once per day 2-12%- once a day 5-12%- about few time per week 12-30%.
