Adverse Drug Events (ADE) 3

Readmissions –All cause 4

Pearls  Collaboration from Medical Staff  Involvement of multi-disciplinary team members  Education of staff  Commitment from Administration  Standardization of E.H.R. 5

Defining Moment(s) In Our Journey  2012: Realization that all ADE’s were not being included in our data collection. Implementation of remote Pharmacy Medication Management in-service Increase of ADE reporting by nurses Computer Based Learning Modules  2012: Realization that the discharge instructions were not always understood/followed by the patient. Review of all readmissions Identified the top ten re-admission diagnoses Developed post-discharge call backs by nursing Reviewed/revised patient education Implemented pharmacy rounding 6

Breakthrough Strategy  ADE: Encouraging nursing to view reporting as an opportunity to improve patient safety; not as a “black mark” on their individual performance.  Readmissions: Helping nursing understand that patient education does not end at the time of discharge. 7

IDEAL: level represents zero harm At Target: level represents meeting target for improvement Progress: level shows improvement but not yet at target Opportunity: level is an opportunity to launch aggressive action for improvement 5 __________ 0 __________ 2 __________ 1 ___________ Number of risk areas (0-11) at each stage Improvement Scale: The stages we moved through Slide 9 9

Next steps to Reduce Harm  Implementing additional protocols for patient care  Increasing the use of CPOE (computerized physician order entry) to assist in the reduction of medication errors  Implementing standardized order sets  Implementing Electronic physician documentation to improve patient care and reduce errors due to illegibility 14
