Improvement/Harm Calculators Dolores Hagan, RN BSN K-HEN Education/Data Manager
Calculator Overview Created by Cynosure Health in partnership with HRET Formulas perform calculations/graphs in the background Excel spreadsheet – Contains a separate sheet for each HEN topic – Two sheets for Falls and HAPU – Total Harm sheet – Harm Across the Board sheet Reference for cost estimates are included 27
About Your Calculator Prepared for each hospital Only included data on state-wide top two measures Patient days and Discharges obtained from IPOP Claims database Fully editable by you Electronic copy on your USB drive 28
Calculator Basics Sheets and workbook are protected to allow easy data entry Enter Hospital Name on the Total Harm tab first and it will flow over to all other tabs Required information for each tab – Number of months for baseline period – Frequency of reporting (monthly or quarterly) 29

What’s Included in the Calculations 32 1.Current rate – calculated by summing the most recent 3 months numerators/denominators 2.% change from baseline (Current rate – Baseline)/Baseline 3.Most recent Month-Year for data 4.Number prevented To-Date—takes all months of data into account & based on baseline rate 5.Cost savings To-Date = # prevented to date X Avg. cost 6.Estimated # to prevent to be at Goal by next month— based on current rate
Total Harm Numerator – Total Harm – Readmissions + ADEs + Falls with Injury + HAPUs Stage III/IV + CAUTIs + CLABSIs + VAPs + SSIs + EEDs + OB Harms Denominator – Total Harm – Patient Days – must be manually entered – Required for numerator to populate MUST specify the number of months the baseline represents 33
Harm Across the Board (HAB) Numerator – Total Harm – ADEs + Falls with Injury + HAPUs Stage III/IV + CAUTIs + CLABSIs + VAPs + SSIs + EEDs + OB Harms (excludes Readmissions) Denominator – Total Harm – Discharges– must be manually entered – Required for numerator to populate MUST specify the number of months the baseline represents 34

Next Steps for QI and Opportunities Our Progress Toward the 40/20 Goal
2014 – “Option Year” CMS notified HRET on October 8 they intend to fund “Option Year” January – December 2014 Extend and Expand scope of improvement work All 26 national HEN’s invited to apply – Applications due November – State SHA’s submitting work plan to HRET – Contract awards made by CMS by December 8,
Hospital Commitment – Option Year Hospital Administrators to Sign Commitment Form – System Commitment Letters not allowed Data: Hospitals to submit outcome and process data on ALL applicable areas Data: CMS requiring use of approved measures 11 Improvement areas and expansion within areas 40
Option Year continued Work plan tailored as much as possible to the feedback provided by hospitals through day-to-day discussions, meetings, site visit, and surveys Strategies: changing frequency of coaching calls – some monthly, some quarterly; 2014 KHA Quality Conference may be in a “Quality and Patient Safety Boot Camp” format Utilize what we have learned through LEAN, Grants, etc to spread improvement Planning to continue hospital site visits, TeamSTEPPS workshops, regional meetings; HRET will continue to provide resources and support on a national level 41
Option Year Improvement Areas Falls – No substantial change Pressure Ulcer – No substantial change ADE – anticoagulation management, – opioid safety, and – glycemic management 42
Option Year CAUTI Topic – All tracked units (not just ICU) – CAUTI in the ER – Urinary catheter utilization CLABSI – All tracked units (not just ICU) 43
Option Year VTE – All surgical areas Obstetrical Adverse Event – EED – OB Hemorrhage – Treatment of Pre-Eclampsia to reduce morbidity and mortality 44
Option Year SSI Topic – Expand to include all surgeries VAE – VAC – IVAC – Probable/Possible VAP Use of Surveillance data– CMS is steering hospitals away from use of administrative data and want more hands-on analysis 45
Feedback from K-HEN evaluation and Participation Survey 17 Hospitals participate in the survey 41% Report participating frequently in Coaching Calls 70 % Report scheduling conflicts with calls 60% would like the Coaching Calls to be every other month 65% Report no site visit from K-HEN staff (91 participating hospitals with 71 site visits made) 77% want more training in New Evidence-based practices followed by 65% want prioritization in next steps Everyone who participated in the survey requested assistance in a collaborative area. 46
