Data reflects ALL Inpatient Units, including ICU. Breakthrough in “All Harm” Reduction: From Average of 109 To 66 Harms/1,000 Discharges Harms / 1,000 discharges shown a reduction from ~109 / quarter in 2010 to 66 / quarter in 2011 Decreased rate of about 40 harms / 1,000 discharges is from improvement in ADE, Falls, and VTE Ongoing 0 VAP rate Data reflects ALL Inpatient Units, including ICU. VTE Data includes all patients (Medical AND Surgical) with VTE defined codes that were not coded as present on admission. CY 2010 / CY 2011 VTE data is forecasted due to data artifacts in the data set.

CY 2010 / CY 2011 VTE data is forecasted due to data artifacts in the data set.

Pearls Culture of Safety promoted from the top Board conducts Patient Safety Rounds monthly Senior Leaders / Staff receive financial reward for decreasing Harm Ownership at point of care - “Workgroup” design and strategy 11 WG’s align regulatory / evidence based safe practice Surveillance and real-time coaching; at point of care delivery A Quality Department that employs the “Right” resources Trained Internal Improvement Advisors Clinical specialist and Industrial Health System Engineers Promoting “Mindful Behavior” vs. Mandates without rationale Mindful Practice Information Tools define expectations of : Consumer, Clinician, and our organization Be Alert / Be There - what you do or what you fail to do outcome Continually challenging “status quo” Unacceptable to rest on our own laurels Mentality that even one is not acceptable Celebrate innovative care
Defining Moments In Our Journey Realizing that we were DRIP’s… Redesigned our Structure Defined data that drove “safety” and what mattered most Communication of data had to go from bottom up/back Facing we were guilty of “Word Abuse”… Misuse of “empowerment” and “transparency” Began to Walk the talk
Strategies that Drive Results Challenge of Pre-Existing Beliefs “Medical stuff is not a problem for us; we don’t have to worry since it’s not required” Rehab not Acute Strategies to Overcome Trend data to understand medical complexity Ahead of the Curve mentality Hardwire “Process Thinking” Internal Advertisement: Safe Performance Outcomes Mindful Practice Culture: E.

Future Actions to Reduce Harm Continuance on imbedding ABC’s of Mindful Practice: “Treat every procedure/every task with the same level of attention to detail as the first time” Review every piece of data for communication to ensure clarity: “If it is unclear to the people it doesn’t matter” Reduce confusion when transitioning from Policy to Practice Implement Process Maps

Pearls Leadership (It always starts here) Leaders must create, support, and role model a culture of excellence Just Culture Quality is a strategic priority Aligning Processes & People Standing agenda item in staff meetings Becoming process literate Standardize processes Cascading goals
Pearls Transparency Share progress / opportunities Dashboards Unblinded Scorecards Patient Family Advisory Council Just Culture

Review of HAB Template
Improving Harm Across the Board
(**Delete this slide when content of presentation is complete) TEMPLATE GUIDE Treat harms as events that can be summed Focus on harms (outcomes) rather then preventive measures (process) Special conditions can be considered a harm (e.g., EED, Readmits, …) Produce an overall harm trend for the hospital (**Delete this slide when content of presentation is complete)
2012 Breakthrough in Reducing HARM: 250 to 50 harms/1,000 discharges
Cut “harm across the board” in half: 60 patients per quarter to under 30
2012 Breakthrough in Readmission: From 20% of discharges to 10% of discharges
2012 Breakthrough in Reducing Readmissions: From 20 per quarter to 10 per quarter
Pearls Please list the drivers of safety that produced these results. Include one about patient and family engagement, if relevant
Defining Moment(s) In Our Journey Name and date one or two defining moments. Moments that caused the organization to commit to extraordinary safety. Moments that resulted in a big breakthrough in the organization’s ability to deliver safety.
