2 Signout (or Handoffs) Background Resident survey Computerized signout
Future steps

3 Introduction Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) National Patient Safety Goals1 “[Implementation] of a standardized approach to ‘hand off’ communications, including an opportunity to ask and respond to questions.” New Institute of Medicine (IOM) work hour restrictions2 New IOM guidelines – Max 30 hour shift with 5 hour rest period or maximum 16 hours shift 1. National Patient Safety Goals 2. IOM resident duty hour brief.

4 80 hour work week Hospital complications3
Patient safety or mortality4, 5 Preventable errors6 Resident’s perspectives: Improved signout reduces adverse events7 Poor signout contributes greatly to mistakes8 Hospital complications – increased hospital complications (hospital-acquired infection, adverse drug reaction, thrombotic events, respiratory failure, renal insufficiency, electrolyte abnormality) and delayed test ordering > 24 hours No change in patient safety or mortality (CHF, MI, PNA) 300,000 patients over 3 years in NY Non-primary team 2x as likely to commit preventable medical error Improved communication, procedural supervision, then improved signout MGH -- Poor signout causes more mistakes than working too many hours, carrying/admitting too many patients, inadequate supervision, or cross-covering too many patients 3.

5 Problems with Signout 92% medical schools have no formal education on signout9 IM residency programs:10 55% did not have both written & verbal signout 60% provided no lectures nor workshops on signout skills 57% information never transferred & 35% information inaccurately received11 A survey of emergency medicine residency program directors showed that 72% agreed that a standardized signout would improve communication and reduce medical error, yet 90% had no uniform written policy regarding signout and approximately 75% did not have any formal didactic training 9.

Answer Options Response Percent Response Count No 87.0% 20 Yes -- as a medical student 0.0% Yes -- as a resident 13.0% 3 Yes -- as both a medical student and a resident answered question 23 skipped question

8 U of M Family Medicine Resident Survey
In the last 6 months, how often have you experienced each of the following while on Chelsea Family Medicine Inpatient Service? (Please rate all 8 items. If not sure, please give your best estimate.) Answer Options Every day or almost every day Once a week Once every 2 weeks Once a month Less than once a month Never Response Count Avoidable Admission 2 8 1 21 Medication Reaction 4 6 Prolonged Length of Stay 10 Mortality 5 Outpatient Complication 3 Medication Error 9 Adverse Outcome of Care Procedural Complication answered question skipped question

9 U of M Family Medicine Resident Survey
How often do you receive the following information during signout? Answer Options Very frequently Frequently Somewhat frequently infrequently Very infrequently Never Rating Average Response Count ID: patient's name, CPI #, room #, primary care doctor 8 2 7 3 1 21 Code Status 6 9 4 Chief Complaint 12 5 Brief HPI Hospital Course (including relevant physical exam, labs, imaging) Active Problem List 11 Current Medications Allergies Contingency Plans / Anticipated Problems answered question skipped question

10 U of M Family Medicine Resident Survey
Compared to a traditional paper-based signout: Answer Options Strongly agree Agree Disagree Strongly disagree Neither agree nor disagree Rating Average Response Count Using an electronic signout will make signout more efficient 9 8 1 4 23 Electronic signout will result in the exchange of higher quality information 6 13 2 Electronic signout will improve resident-to-resident communication Electronic signout will improve patient continuity of care 11 Electronic signout will improve Night Seniors' adherance to patient care plans answered question skipped question

11 Web Signout Simulated Signout created through Google Documents
Design tested with Focus group Transitioned to FileMaker and secure database

12 Simulated Signout

13 Simulated Signout

14 Simulated Signout

15 Focus Group Data Four residents (3 PGY-1 and 1 PGY-2)
General Impressions Content Usability Potential Difficulties General Impressions: Easy to use, functional, templated questions better than free text, beneficial to have access at home Content: Appropriate amount of information Usability: Easy to enter new patient information Potential Difficulties: ? Increased time to prepare signout, ? transfer of excessive information

16 Limitations & Future Steps
Web publishing vs. HIPAA compliance Pilot test at community hospital Repeat survey for post-intervention data
