1 Patient transfers have increased significantly over last 5 years Bree Kramer, D.O. Tara Petroski, M.D. Lorna Fitzpatrick, M.D. Resident efficiency has decreased Joint Commission of Accreditation of Health Organizations Communication is vulnerable to error during times of patient hand-offs 60% of sentinel events caused by failures in communication Leads to uncertainty in decisions May result in inefficient/suboptimal care Lead to patient harm Joint Commission of Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations released 2009 National Patient Safety Goals Requires a standardized approach to hand-off communications Studies have shown: No standardized sign-out process Sign-out practices vary widely amongst different institutions No formal training in sign-out skills Residents may be duplicating work and spending large amount of time on patient care transitions Studies show standardized sign-out procedures reduce communication errors Systems of transfer and communication have been showed to reduce information loss
2 Research done in development of computerized systems to aid in the sign-out process Computerized systems improved continuity of care Decreased patients missed on rounds Increased portion of pre-rounding time spent at bedside Improved resident reported quality of sign-out Improved resident efficiency Errors at patient handoff can contribute to discontinuity of care and adverse events Computerized systems reduce these Proposed standards recommend a computerassisted vehicle for patient information transfer Ensures accurate and up-to-date information Infoclique sign out lacking in many areas Communication Accuracy Efficiency Concerns remain regarding Patient safety Increased sign-outs due to changes to schedule to comply with 405 regulations Changed Infoclique to current sign-out system* The ACGME regulations are as follows: Maximum hours per week = 80 hours averaged over 4 weeks Maximum shift length = 24 hours + 6 for transitional activities* Minimum time off between shifts = 10 hours Mandatory time off duty = 24 hours off per week averaged over 4 weeks* Emergency room limits = 12 hours shift limit During the study period Nov 17, 2008 to Mar 8, 2009, we observed 141 work hour violations over 1,645 assessable shifts (8.6%). These violations were committed by 39 of the 49 residents under study (79.6%). Number of violations per specific ACGME work hour regulation: > 27 hours / shift 85 (60.3%) > 12 hours / ED shift 44 (31.2%) < 10 hours off between service obligations 12 (8.5%) > 80 hours / week averaged over 4 weeks 0 < 1 day off in 7 days averaged over 4 weeks 0 Total Violations 141
3 UB Graduate Medical Dental Education Program offers a Quality Improvement Award Encourages intellectual curiosity and promotes excellent patient care Targets resident/faculty team projects designed to improve patient safety year, priority was given to projects focusing on handoffs and patient safety Problem: Resident work-hours violations identified in our pediatric training program Intervention: Implementation of new schedule Problem: Increased number of patient care transitions Signout now even more critical Intervention: Implementation of a systematic computer web based patient sign out system. Identify strengths and weaknesses in current sign-out system Implement a computerized sign-out system and educational patient hand-off workshops Improve resident efficiency Assess improvements in resident satisfaction and patient safety after implementation of the above systems 2 main areas that impact quality of resident sign-out Pre-rounding Verbal and written sign-out Evaluate resident s views on current sign-out system Surveys 1 (most) (least) NR Effectiveness of signout 27% 52% 17% 4% Quality of signout 13% 58% 29% Usefulness of printed sheets 50% 42% 6% 2% usefulness of handwritten sheets 13% 15% 31% 10% 4% 27% unanticipated adverse events 10% 63% 21% events that res. not prepared for during signout 6% 13% 50% 31% relaying of pertinent labs during signout 8% 56% 33% 2% relaying of current meds during signout 10% 50% 35% 4% relaying of imaging/diagnostic tests 17% 56% 27% 0% relaying of current medical problem 52% 40% 8% 0% discussion of contingency plan 17% 52% 31% 0% documentation of overnight events 27% 54% 15% 4% feelings about signout duration 6% 21% 71% 2% importance of edu. session on signout 27% 23% 29% 8% 4% Survey Results Residents have identified what they consider the most important area of sign-out Anticipated problems and plan of action Few patients currently have information in their sign-out
