2 Session Objectives 1. Describe the rapid cycle approach to process improvement for care of the Stroke patient 2. Examine a process for improving coordination of care for the stroke patient 3. Identify trigger and care plan tools that guide the health care team in the care and recovery of the stroke patient Methodology Model Rapid Cycle PDSA (Plan, Do, Study, Act) P A D S 2

3 Rapid Cycle PDSA Pre-Planning Phase F O C U S Find a process to improve Organize a team Clarify the current knowledge of the process Understand dprocess variation Select a strategy for implementation F O C U S F Rapid Cycle PDSA Find a process to improve Objective: Within 100 days identify efficiencies and eliminate waste in providing evidence based care to specific population Top 10 High Cost Low Quality Diagnosis across Alegent Health system Assigned ownership to individual campus Reviewed per case data for: -Diagnostic services provided and cost - Pharmacy services provided and cost -Lab services provided and cost -Emergency Room services provided and cost -Rehabilitation services provided and cost -Mortality/Co-morbidities -Use of consultants (ie. Neurology) -Length of Stay -Readmissions 3

7 U Rapid Cycle PDSA Understand process variation Emergency Department Neuro consults MRI vs CT Stroke Team alert Initiation of EBC orders TIA Discharge to home Outpt diagnostic testing Inpatient t Nursing Bed assignments Care Map Education Inpatient Hospital to Community Lack of coordination Rehabilitation Services Initial evaluations/treatment plan timeliness Patient Time vs. Charting/Prep time Patient refusals Care Management Social Services Role redesign Discharge Plan vs Placement Early intervention Facilitate nursing education Readmission Risks PT/OT/ST Workflow Lean Model PT, OT and ST Evaluation of patient to be completed within 4 hours of admission. Therapist to obtain order from MD immediately after evaluation for ongoing treatment during hospital stay. Therapy to collaborate with Care Management/Social Work on therapy needs/recommendations post discharge by Day 2 Key Learnings: Patient follow-up on refusals Charting (batching & duplication) Outdated guidelines Provide services as per Does patient treatment plan orders System Applicability: established between therapy and MD. require therapy services post discharge? Therapy to contact post discharge therapists (OP, SNF, HHC) to provide handoff report and status at discharge Meaningful Interdisc.

8 Rapid Cycle PDSA S Select a strategy for implementation 1. What are we trying to accomplish? 2. What changes can we make that will result in improvement? 3. How will we know that a change is an improvement? Emergency Department Strategies Pts w/ any neuro deficit is a Stroke pt until proven otherwise. Practitioner to see patient within 10 min of arrival. All neuro deficit pts receive swallowing screen in ED regardless of NPO status. Auto page to Stroke Team w/ initiation of CT orders. Manual page of tpa candidate pt with weight Manual page of tpa candidate pt with weight. Neurological consult ASAP. Core measure packet initiated. ED nurse holds accountability for patient until hand-off. 8

9 Nursing Strategies Dedicated Stroke Unit DVT prophylaxis initiated with Stroke alert Evidence Base Orders placed in physician chart Care path initiated Stroke packet and book placed at bedside All education coordinated by nurse coordinator Care Management Strategies Care Management coordinates the discharge plan. Social Worker focuses on discharge placement. Care Manager reviews care path daily for completion of activities. Review education record. Collaborates with inpatient / outpatient team (HC, SNF, Rehab Services, etc). Physician appointment made within 3-5 days post discharge. Follow-up phone call within hours of discharge. 9

10 Rehabilitation Strategies Stroke page received - Initial evaluation within 4 hours of page - After 6pm, evaluation completed next am Real-time documentation AM prep to therapy start time Creation of a Team Station concept Implementing the Action Plan PDSA (Plan, Do, Study, Act) Plan: based on theory/prediction P Act: adopt adapt abandon A D Do: small scale S Study: to learn 10

11 Rapid Cycle PDSA P Gap Analysis Prepared by Plan to Implement Date Completed: Sufficiency of process step (x = excessive, a = adequate, i = inadequate) Process Step EBC Existing Sufficiency Is it sufficient? Next Steps Order Set? Y/N x,a,i If not, why? What Who When Patient admission thru the ED Culture of "Every patient with a neuro deficit is a Stroke patient" until proven otherwise.. All neuro patients must be seen in 10 minutes by ED Provider. All ED patients must be entered into ADT within 5 minutes of arrival Use of EBC orderset Evaluation of Acute Stroke initiated with orders input within minutes. This triggers automatice page to Stroke Team. NIH scoring completed All tpa candidates must have weights taken and manual age to Stroke team within minutes of arrival. All metrics of lab and diagnostid results of 45 mintues from door to arrival must be met. tpa order to pharmacy if all inclusion criteria met for patient within minutes of door to arrival Neurologist notified by ED physician All neuro patients to receive swallowing screen regardless of NPO status. This mst be documented and reported at handoff P Plan to Implement 11

Rehabilitation Services Real Time Documentation went from 102 minutes after therapy to 12 minutes (88% improvement) AM Prep Time to Therapy Start Time went from an average of 55 minutes to 10 minutes (73% improvement) A Act to Hold the Gain CELEBRATE THE SUCCESSES!!!! Ongoing Physician, Nurse and Staff Education Communication of updates to processes Maintain current and evidence based treatment Understanding and utilizing Roadmap for patient milestones Consistent patient communication through the care continuum including during and after hospital stay Changing physician behavior Explore potential for Neurology telemedicine All Neuro Deficits treated as Stroke until ruled out Periodic review of gap analysis Use of Care Path and Roadmap during bedside shift reporting Ongoing monitoring and reporting of metrics hospital wide 19
