The STOP order Care Bundles As it represents a reduction in errors of omission, compliance with the care bundle is a good proxy for reliability of that process.

Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Prolonged catheterization is the primary risk factor for catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Only interventional studies that used reminders to physicians or nurses that a urinary catheter was in use or stop orders to prompt catheter removal in hospitalized adults were included. A total of 6679 citations were identified; 118 articles were reviewed, and 14 articles met the selection criteria. The rate of CAUTI (episodes per 1000 catheter-days) was reduced by 52% (P !.001) with use of a reminder or stop order. The mean duration of catheterization decreased by 37%, resulting in 2.61 fewer days of catheterization per patient in the intervention versus control groups. Recatheterization rates were similar in control and intervention groups. –Meddings et al Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis:Reminder Systems to Reduce Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections and Urinary Catheter Use in Hospitalized Patients CID 2010:51 (1 September)

The STOP order Total Admissions Bundle 1. How many admissions have you had in this shift? 2. On the white board, how many admissions have recorded both:  MEWS Score AND  Frequency of observations? Recognition Bundle 3. How many patients are on the unit now? 4. During this shift how many of these patients have recorded on the white board both:  MEWS Score AND  Frequency of observations? Response Bundle 5. How many patients are ‘at risk’ (MEWS score higher than 3)? 6. How many ‘at risk’ patients have had an appropriate first response (start SBAR form)? Could they have sepsis? If yes please use the sepsis pathway tool. Sepsis Six Bundle 7. How many patients have been diagnosed as having sepsis? 8. How many of these have received the ‘sepsis six’ within 1 hour of diagnosis? Catheter Stop Order 9. How many patients have a catheter in situ? 10. How many catheters can be removed? 11. How many catheters need to be inserted? Have you considered all the alternatives?

The STOP order Society of Actuaries Report (2010) Seven percent of inpatient admissions resulted in some type of medical injury in 2008, and the average cost per error was about $13, million medical injuries including 1.5 million injuries resulting from medical error in The errors collectively cost the U.S. health care system roughly $19.5 billion, resulted in more than 2,500 excess fatalities and 10 million excess days of work missed. The five most expensive errors accounted for about 55% of total error costs and were: –Pressure ulcers ($3.9 billion); –Postoperative infections ($3.7 billion); –Mechanical complications of devices, implants or grafts ($1.1 billion); –Postlaminectomy syndrome ($1.1 billion); and –Hemorrhage complications ($960 million). The three most expensive errors on a per-error basis were: postoperative shock ($93,682 per case); infection due to central venous catheter ($83,365); and infection following infusion, injection, transfusion or vaccination ($78,083).

The STOP order Cost of Avoidable Infections In cases associated with invasive surgery, attributable mean length of stay was 10.9 days, costs were $32 900, and mortality was 19.5% for sepsis; corresponding values for pneumonia were 14.0 days, $46 400, and 11.4%, respectively (P <.001). In cases not associated with invasive surgery, attributable mean length of stay, costs, and mortality were estimated to be 1.9 to 6.0 days, $5800 to $12 700, and 11.7% to 16.0% for sepsis and 3.7 to 9.7 days, $ to $22 300, and 4.6% to 10.3% for pneumonia (P <.001). –Michael R.
