SHIRE Objectives Describe eMAP and eICU structure, process, and outcome measures Identify opportunities to improve Anticipate evaluation of EMR

SHIRE

eMAP Methods Reports audited at 6 affiliates to confirm prevented & observed errors MD, RN, and PharmD panel (blinded to prevented / observed) rated cases for potential clinical significance

SHIRE Medication Administration Errors By Type Prevented (1.1% of Total Attempted ) No Order in System or No Active Order 27% Dose Early or Already Given 47% Order Discontinued or Expired 13% Observed (2.8%) Dose Early or Already Given 35% Wrong Dose 26% No Order in System 21%

SHIRE Potential Clinical Significance of: Prevented Errors 91% 8%1% Observed Errors 90% 9%1% Minimal Moderate Severe

SHIRE Outcomes for 1,000,000 Attempted Administrations

SHIRE eMAP Inputs for Optimization Physician Rx - dialogue with pharmacy on order writing practices Avoid interval range orders Pharmacy Database Allergies (Labs) Settings: max dose & grace period Report filters - Focus on high impact errors Wrong patient High-risk drugs, e.g. coumadin, insulin

SHIRE Benefits of Electronic Medication Administration Record Real time information Legible and unalterable charting Physician access to all inpatient drug profiles from any unit, the lounge and medical records Fast access at the bedside

SHIRE The Importance of eICU Alignment

SHIRE eICU Components eCare Manager Smart Alerts ICU eICU Smart Reports Tele-monitoring Organization for QI

SHIRE Increase in ICU Treatments

SHIRE eICU Outcome Measures Mortality (Complicated by advanced directives) Complications, e.g. sepsis Length of stay (Complicated by disposition problems ) Risk adjustment using Apache

SHIRE eICU Optimization Activities Initiate SH-wide ICU clinician network Extract clinical data from eCareManager allow confirmation of Smart Reports evaluation analyses, e.g. stratify process & outcomes by delegation More decision support, e.g. alerts for recommended treatments

SHIRE General Recommendations for Clinical IT More involvement of clinical stakeholders in design & evaluation Maximize decision support Establish “communities of practice” Build in analytic databases Link with other databases (SHEW): pharmacy, lab, diagnostic
