Purpose of the HEN The 40/20 goal: * Reduce inpatient harm by 40% * Reduce readmissions by 20% Working with hospitals to implement best practices to reduce harm and readmissions. Provide best practice resources, education, implementation support and build improvement capacity.

CMS Quality Net Conference –December 2-4, 2014  17% reduction in hospital safety events ( )  Reduction of 1.3 million events  Estimated savings of $12B  50,000 lives saved

Guide to Safety Across the Board

Purpose of the Safety Across the Board Guide Developed by the HENs with support from PfP Summary of collective experience of 26 HENs (3,700 hospitals) Describe a framework of concepts/ways to guide hospital executives Guide to provide safe care and achieve Safety Across the Board

Safety Across the Board is Driven by Four Imperatives 1. Establish a culture of safety 2. Engage the Patient and their Family 3. Create Safety Across the Board 4. Count All Harms

Lessons from the HEN Project Safety Across the Board occurs when hospitals take a systemic approach to measuring, monitoring and continually improving care. Shift to systems thinking to reduce all harm. Leadership commitment and board of directors engagement.

Lessons from the HEN Project Organizational infrastructure and comprehensive reporting and measurement system. Analysis and response to the data collected. Continuous improvement – investigation and assessment

HEN Project: Topics Addressed Adverse drug events (ADE) Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) Central line-associated blood stream infections (CLABSI) Injuries from falls and immobility Obstetrical adverse events Pressure ulcers Surgical site infections Venous thromboembolism (VTE) Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) Preventable readmissions

HEN Measures HEN measures were selected based on the CMS criteria of the most common hospital acquired conditions, change packages and were included on the encyclopedia of measures The encyclopedia of measures aligned hospitals measures in a effort to demonstrate the reduction throughout the project

Measures per topic TopicMeasure ADEAll ADEs per 1,000 patient days ADEs due to opioids Excessive Anticoagulation with Warfarin Hypoglycemia in Inpatients Receiving Insulin CAUTICatheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections Rate - All Tracked Units Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections Rate in ICU CLABSICLABSI Rate - All Units CLABSI Rate - ICU Pressure ulcersPatients with at least One Stage II or Greater Nosocomial Pressure Ulcer ReadmissionsReadmission within 30 days (All Cause)

HRET HEN Initiatives Launched HRET HEN website: hen.org, including: hen.org -The Encyclopedia of Measures -Change Packages per topic Launched Comprehensive Data System (CDS) -System designed to submit and analyze the data measures provided by hospitals

HRET HEN Initiatives Fostered peer-to-peer learning through LISTSERVs® and monthly progress reports Affinity Groups Incorporated Coaching: - Improvement Advisors (IAs), with Cynosure Health -HRET state leads -HRET data leads

HRET HEN Initiatives CMS and NCD introduced Eliminating Harm Across the Board (HAB) as a PfP tool to understand overall harm at each hospital participating in HEN Taught the hospitals that the HAB tool would help: -Shift the organization culture by tracking the overall harm per discharge, which in turn helps the team see where the greatest opportunity is in eliminating harm -Put a face on harm by telling a compelling story to support change -Promote transparency

Data Reporting 96% of the PR participating hospitals submitted data in all applicable topics between 2012 & 2014 ADE: 100% hospitals CAUTI: 100% hospitals CLABSI: 100% hospitals Falls: 100% hospitals EED: 100% hospitals OB Harm: 100% hospitals Pressure Ulcers: 98% hospitals Readmissions: 96% hospitals SSI: 100% hospitals VAP: 100% hospitals VTE: 98% hospitals

PR HEN Results We reached the 40/20 goal on the following areas: -53% CAUTI all units -61% CAUTI ICU -71% CLABSI all units -77% CLABSI ICU -40% Early Elective Deliveries (EED) -20% Readmissions 30 days all cause -49% VAP in ICU -53% Post-Op PE or VTE -78% Potentially Preventable VTE

PR HEN Results We reached the 40/20 goal on the following areas: -21% Adverse Drug Events -10% C-sections -13% Falls with or without injury -30% Hospital Acquired PU Stage 2 or more -25% Surgical Site Infections

PR HEN Results The PR hospitals were able to prevent an estimate of over 28,319 events of harm with an estimated cost savings of $218,026, millions.
