Working for healthier lungs BTS Care Bundles Project Webex 28 June 2013

Working for healthier lungs Agenda Update on progress Feedback from project participants – Whittington – Morriston – Worcester – Birmingham – George Eliot Questions

Working for healthier lungs COPD COPD admission bundle: 1271 patient records committed from 18 hospitals (further 247 uncommitted records in progress) COPD discharge bundle: 824 patient records committed so far from 14 hospitals (further 109 uncommitted records in progress) 7 hospitals have added LTC6 data (133 so far)

Community Pneumonia CAP bundle: 872 patient records committed from 15 hospitals (further 272 uncommitted records in progress) CAP High level data: 19 hospitals have committed high level yearly and monthly data

Reminders Reports: – CAP and COPD bundle reports available to download – Reports will change as more data is added (ie records committed); if you have not yet made a start in adding data for your hospital we would encourage you to do so - any queries then please make contact. – COPD high level monthly data report has been amended to remove the misleading charts on pages 8/9 which incorrectly showed number of bundles in relation to A&E admissions/discharges.

Update ED elected to use paper form Colourful audit box to attract attention Uptake poor to date, despite engagement of ED consultant and lead nurse Planning to use sticker for notes with paper form so that other clinicians will know bundle completed

Sticker for notes

Update continued Acute medicine and other medical colleagues happy to use electronic bundle on Anglia ICE (our electronic ordering programme) Better uptake than for paper form, placed with essential admission bundles such as VTE, smoking, dementia Microbiology trying to reduce unnecessary Pneumococcal antigen testing in non pneumonias – opportunity to increase bundle use if only means of requesting is via the bundle – being explored

Conclusions Early days, but increasing bundle awareness with grand rounds, junior doctor training sessions, audit presentations High level data highlighted our high readmission rate, which may be related to our deprived urban population, but we are looking at data to see if there are any themes we can address Separately looking at enhanced recovery in medicine which may have impact.

ENSURE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS OF AN ACUTE EXACERBATION OF COPD The diagnosis of an acute exacerbation of COPD starts with a clinical assessment and is supported by review of an ECG and CXR which should be done within 4 hours of admission. The patient should also have documented evidence of spirometry showing airflow obstruction CXR done within 4 hours of admission:ECG done within 4 hours of admission? Date and time of CXR : Record of spirometry available in medical records? Smoking history:currentformerneverif patient smokes, have you referred to stop smoking service? ASSESS OXYGEN & PRESCRIBE TARGET RANGE FOR OXYGEN Early oxygen assessment is associated with improved prognosis. The provision of oxygen, when needed, follows after appropriate assessment. A target range for the oxygen saturation to be achieved (with supplemental oxygen if necessary) should be prescribed (94–98%, Patients at risk of CO2 retention: 88–92%). (BTS Emergency Oxygen Guideline) Physiological observations made within 1 hour of admission: Oxygen prescribed within 1 hour of admission: RECOGNISE AND RESPOND TO RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS The patients with highest mortality from COPD following hospital admission are those who are admitted in ventilatory failure. An arterial blood gas for all patients admitted to hospital with oxygen saturations of 94% or less (on air or controlled oxygen) is required. Early assessment for suitability for NIV is required for those with Type 2 respiratory failure and a pH of <7.35 after one hour on optimum medical therapy (controlled oxygen and nebulised therapy). Oxygen saturations ≤94% after one hour of medical therapy: ABG carried out: pH<7.35 on ABG: Patient started on NIV: This care bundle describes 5 high impact actions to ensure the best clinical outcome for patients admitted with an acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD). The aim is to ensure patient safety with a timely and accurate diagnosis of COPD, correct assessment of oxygenation, early response to respiratory failure and early specialist review. This bundle applies to all patients admitted to hospital with an acute deterioration of known or suspected COPD. Patients seen and assessed in A&E who are diagnosed with an acute exacerbation of COPD who are discharged without admission to hospital either with or without follow up by a community respiratory team should also be included. Complete within 24 hours of admission BTS Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Admission Care Bundle: 2012 / 13 Banda Label Remember discharge bundle ADMINISTER STEROIDS & NEBULISERS WITHIN 4 HOURS OF ADMISSION Patients medical therapy should be optimised on admission. This should follow local guidance detailed below. Consideration should be given to use of corticosteroids, nebulised bronchodilators and antibiotics (where the patient reports a deterioration in their respiratory symptoms from their stable state plus the presence of purulent sputum) Nebulisers administered within 4 hours of admission: Steroids administered within 4 hours of admission: Antibiotics administered within 4 hours of admission: Time prescription written: REVIEW BY RESPIRATORY TEAM WITHIN 24 HOURS Results of the National COPD Audit 2003 suggest that deaths in hospital from COPD occur within 72 hours of admission and that death rates were lower in larger centres. Early review by a member of the respiratory specialist team may help improve patient outcomes Respiratory medical or nurse review within 24 hours:Date and time of respiratory review: Instructions for use of bundle: Please complete and file with the admission proforma Signature yesno yesno yesno yesno yesno yesno yesno yesno yesno yesno yesno yesno yesno yesno

ASSESS FOR SUITABILITY FOR PULMONARY REHABILITATION All patients who report walking slower than others on the level or who need to stop due to dyspnoea after a mile or after less than 15 minutes walking should be assessed for and offered pulmonary rehabilitation Already completed pulmonary rehabilitation? Referral made? PROVIDE WRITTEN SELF MANAGEMENT PLAN & EMERGENCY DRUG PACK Prescribe COPD emergency drug pack and provide to patient at discharge. Ensure patient has a completed self management plan describing how and when to use medications provided. Provide oxygen alert card if patient is at risk of CO2 retention (referral to a community team for drug pack and plan is acceptable) Self management plan: Emergency drug pack provided? Oxygen alert card?Referred to community team for pack or plan? yesnodeclinedNot applicable REVIEW PATIENT’S MEDICATIONS & DEMONSTRATE USE OF INHALERS Assess during medication rounds. Observe the patient using their inhalers and refer to REDS if technique is inadequate. Ensure medications have been optimised by respiratory specialist team. Inhaler technique checked:Medication reviewed by respiratory team before discharge? ASSESS AND OFFER REFERRAL FOR SMOKING CESSATION Ask every patient whether they are a current smoker and offer referral to smoking cessation service (Speed dial – 1342) Smoking history:currentformernever (To be classed as an ex-smoker, patients must have abstained for 3 months) Referral made? has smoking cessation been recorded as discussed? This care bundle describes 5 high impact actions to ensure the best clinical outcome for patients admitted with an acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD). The aim is to reduce the number of patients who are readmitted following discharge after an AECOPD and to ensure that all aspects of the patients COPD care is considered.
