7 1. Designing Actions for Impact 7

8 Problem 6 years ago / Baseline Leading: < 90% compliance with vent bundle (HOB, turn, Hi Lo ETT, oral care) Lagging: Experiencing > 100 VAP cases/year (2006 = 114) Adult ICUs had higher than expected vent LOS (10-11 days) 8

9 View: Care of vent patients inconsistent Lack of evidence based practice Silo care versus interdisciplinary Not following guidelines for IHI, AACN, SSCM, APIC, NACHRI, and CMS 9

10 Aspiration PUD prev Family feeds ice chips High risk not ID d During intubation During intubation HOB 30 Secretion management Pneumonia Present on admit Not doc POA CPIS missed Other facility transfer Mini BAL missed CAP Vent bundle use inconsistent Oral Care Change canisters HiLo ETT PUD prev CLRT HOB 30 Hand Hygiene Separate Sx Expectations unclear Results not emphasized Management Data not disseminated Competing priorities Retrospective review No accountability for results 10

11 Supplies, equip, meds PUD prev CHG not in stock Transport monitoring Need quick ref info i.e. reinforcement Emergency Department Par stock too low Too few suction ports in ICU rooms Same level of care Hard to find supplies Lack of experience Outdated competency assessment Pre-existing DX, co-morbidities Over sedation Too few ICU beds Diabetes, COPD, ESRD, Heart Dz Altered mental status (AMS) BiPAP vs. intubation Nob-compliance with SAT/SBT Emergency vs. planned Hx of smoking Intubate / Extubate Bacterial colonization MRSA Cough or gag reflex CAP Coordination RRT & RN for SAT/SBT Disagreement patient & family re: intubation 11

12 Assessment: Most of our infections preventable VAP reduction became a STRATEGIC focus on quality improvement Initial goal to VAP by 50% 12

13 Structure Process Outcomes 13

14 Structure of Care Process of Care Outcomes 14

15 Organizational Vent policy SAT/SBT guidelines Physician credentials Structure of Care Process of Care Interaction: Emp - Pt Compliance Frequency & Coordination of care vent times Prevent HAI = VAP Unplanned extubations ICU & hospital LOS Hardwire Evidence Based Best Practice 15

16 16

17 Actions for Impact: Recap Process Structure Evidence Based, Best Practice Monitor Process effect on Outcome (Donabedian) Value of Process = connect to outcome Hardwire Process make right process easy 17

18 1. Designing Actions for Impact 2. Engagement AND Accountability Hardwiring the care process 18

19 (Audit & feedback) ADDED to (provider reminder systems) (Audit & Feedback) ADDED to (organizational change) AND (provider education) AHRQ: Prevention of Healthcare-Associated Infections: Closing the Quality Gap 19

20 Audit & feedback Make delivery of evidence-based, best practice EASY AS POSSIBLE. Create alerts (reminders, visual aids, peer pressure) to MAKE POOR CARE DELIVERY DIFFICULT. Provider Reminder Systems 20

21 Changed par level & storage of mouth care kits to assure availability & visual reminder Vent bundle SAT/SBT guidelines Physician credentials Structure of Care Stock Hi- Lo ETT s in ER, code carts & with EMS Met with anesthesia & CRNA groups: use Hi- Lo ETT for ICU surgery pts Upgraded ICU beds to include CLRT module Share responsibility for mouth care with resp; scheduled via MAR & task scheduler Process of Care Compliance Frequency of care Coordination of care RT assesses vent bundle compliance 3X/week on all pts; deficiencies immediately reported to RN Manager Each time SBT not performed per criteria RT manager f/u giving verbal or written warning

30 Lagging patient outcome Surveillance for Vent Associated Events CDC Prevention Epicenters Critical Care Societies Collaborative 30

31 Lagging: patient outcomes Incidence Vent Associated Pneumonia (VAP) Population Acute & long-term care hospitals Inpatient rehab facilities > 18 years old Mechanical vent time > 3 calendar days EXCLUSIONS: patients on rescue mechanical ventilation high-freq ventilation (HFV), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), & mechanical ventilation in prone position NHSN: National Healthcare Safety Network 31

32 Lagging: patient outcomes Probable VAP Public Reporting Definition On or after calendar day 3 of mechanical ventilation AND within 2 calendar days before or after onset of worsening oxygenation ONE of the following is met: Purulent respiratory secretions AND one of the following (+) culture of endotracheal aspirate (> 10 5 CFU/ml or equivalent) (+) culture of bronchoalveolar lavage (> 10 4 CFU/ml or equivalent) (+) culture of lung tissue (> 10 4 CFU/ml or equivalent) (+) culture of protected specimen brush (> 10 3 CFU/ml or equivalent) If no purulent secretions, then one of the following: (+) pleural fluid culture (+) lung histopathology (+) diagnostic test for Legionella spp. (+) diagnostic test for flu virus, RSV, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus NHSN: National Healthcare Safety Network 32

33 Leading: consider these areas Vent utilization code status, patient/family communication & education Mobility HAPU, Fall prevention, restraint use Infection prevention oral care Nutrition tube feedings: start time, amount delivered vs. ordered, evidence based management Delirium management med management, noise levels, sleep deprivation (bundled care) 33

41 I believe a vision for quality must start with ownership. We cannot just do what we are asked, but we must take it further by looking for what we can do to improve. Quality must be integrated into our every day caring. Betty Brown, MBA, MSN, RN, CPHQ, FNAHQ - VP Quality & PI, TriHealth, Inc. 41
