1 Eliminating Pressure Ulcers in Ascension Health Cissy Shanks RN BSN CEN & Pam Kleinhelter RN MSN CNA-BC Nursing Managers St Vincent s Health System Jacksonville, Florida Objectives Participants will be able to: Apply the elements of a pressure ulcer prevention program to their respective organizations Utilize the four tactics included in the SKIN bundle Recognize the key barriers to a successful prevention program and identify appropriate recommended activities to address these barriers 2 Ascension Health 3 1

2 The Alarming Truth In 1999, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) reported that an estimated 98,000 individuals die in any given year from medical errors. If we apply the national average to Ascension Health: More than 15,000 people in our system could experience a clinical error this year. Of those, 750 to 1,500 patients will die That s 2 to 4 preventable deaths every day at Ascension Health 4 Ascension Health The Call to Action November 2002 Together we promise: Healthcare that works; Healthcare that is safe; Healthcare that leaves no one behind If not us, who? If not now, when? 5 Healthcare That Is Safe Defined by our Clinical Excellence Goal: The care we deliver will be safe and effective. We commit to having excellent clinical care with no preventable injuries or deaths in five years (by July 2008). 6 2

3 Eight Priorities for Action 1. Hospital Mortality 2. Nosocomial Infections Ventilator acquired pneumonia Catheter infections 3. Falls and fall injuries 4. Pressure ulcers 5. Birth trauma injuries to neonate 6. Surgical complications Post-op Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Post-op hemorrhage Peri-op MI Foreign body left after surgery Surgical site infection 7. Adverse Drug Events 8. Joint Commission NPSGs *All Health ministries required to work on ADEs and NPSGs 7 Alpha / Pilot Responsibilities Eliminate injuries from priority for action in that health ministry Create blueprint for change Identifies best approach (specific strategies) for eliminating priority for action events Identifies clear metrics for measuring and monitoring progress The value proposition business case Suggested organizational structure Timelines Required infrastructure changes Lead effort (adapt blueprint change package) across rest of AH 8 Alpha Site St. Vincent s Medical Center Jacksonville, Florida Largest provider of adult inpatient services 19.3% market share 9 3

Visits 61,000 Over 3400 associates employed 10 Pressure Ulcers: An Equal Opportunity Complication Like an iceberg the worst lies beneath Risk factors increase occurrence and severity A nearly preventable complication in most populations 11 St. Vincent s Experience Began alpha site work 2004 Aim: prevention of hospital acquired pressure ulcers 2004 Hill-Rom prevalence study and incidence study as baseline data Facility prevalence rate of 5.7% 12 4

10 Skin Failure Defined Acute An event in which skin and underlying tissue die due to hypoperfusion concurrent with a critical illness. Chronic An event in which skin and underlying tissue die due to hypoperfusion concurrent with a chronic disease state End-Stage An event in which skin and underlying tissue die due to hypoperfusion concurrent with end of life 28 Database Form 29 Data Collection Tool 30 10
