1 Pressure Ulcer Prevention Doesn t Work (without culture change) C. Tod Brindle, MSN, RN, ET, CWOCN, CLIN IV Nurse Clinician, VCU MEDICAL CENTER Wound Care Team

2 Disclosure Consultant for Molnlycke Healthcare LLC Speaker s Bureau Molnlycke Healthcare LLC Honorarium Endorsed speaker for: Medline, Inc Hollister, Inc

3 Objectives Describe 3 methods of knowledge transference across an organization. Describe the use of change theory and root cause analysis to aid organizational culture change. Discuss 3 categories to engage executive administration in pressure ulcer prevention. Describe 4 principles of data collection to drive interventions Describe 2 strategies for continuing education of new and existing staff. Discuss the challenges of staging pressure ulcers in the presence of moisture associated skin damage.

4 Organizational Culture and Sustaining Change Meet in the Middle

5 Beyond Our Walls Committee Administration Process Pressure Ulcer Minimization Equipment Research Education

6 Administration X SUSTAINED CHANGE Data Inspect Report Nursing/Physicians

7 EXECUTIVE LEADERS WOUND CARE TEAM PU Steering Committee C.S.I RN Units/Pts RN Practice Committees VALUE Analysis

8 Change A successful nurse leader identifies and accepts the prevailing culture before making changes. It s more difficult to change a culture at the level of basic beliefs, values, and perspectives. It s easier to change technical and administrative systems

9 Nurse Executives identifying, reassessing, and changing the culture of nursing in my organization. the changing role of the registered nurse. financial awareness and responsibility..

10 IOM Future of Nursing Recommendation #1 Nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training. NOTE: Skin Health and Prevention is a basic RN responsibility Committee on the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Initiative on the Future of Nursing, at the Institute of Medicine; Institute of Medicine. (2011)

11 Accountibility No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible. Stanislaw Lec

12 Lewin s Change Theory Unfreezing Unfreezing is the process which involves finding a method of making it possible for people to let go of an old pattern that was counterproductive in some way Moving Increase Drivers, Decrease restraints This stage involves a process of change in thoughts, feeling, behavior, or all three, that is in some way more liberating or more productive. Refreezing Refreezing is establishing the change as a new habit, so that it now becomes the standard operating procedure. Kritsonis (2004)

13 (MOVING) Modified Root Cause Analysis What? When? What areas were impacted? Why? What contributed to the event? What human, equipment or communication factors contributed?

14 Ishikawa (1985; 1990)

15 Mini Root Cause Analysis 3 levels of improvement Organization Unit based Patient specific

16 ORGANIZATIONAL: Administrative Buy-in C-Suite Communication Financial Safety Emotional Materials Management Financial Safety RNM Communication Performance Evaluations Risk Management/Compliance Litigation/Safety/Quality Improvement

17 Pressure Ulcers: (DRIVERS) High Volume & High Cost U.S. acute care facilities treat approximately 2.5 million patients with PU per year Approximately 60,000 patients die each year of PU complications Approximately $11 billion per year is spent treating PU Cost to treat: $5-$70,000 per ulcer (Weir, 2007). Lyder 2012: Up to $250,000 for one infected ulcer Highest Litigation Case: Spinal Cord Injury Patient sued the hospital for developing stage 3 pressure ulcer during admission in Texas. Awarded $84,000, U.S. Ayello & Lyder, 2007

18 Budget Disparity C-Suite may be unaware of the entire scope of the problem within the facility. Data (physical harm to patient) + Cost to Treat+ Litigation= Investment of the Executive Administration Materials Management operates under a budget directed by the goals and scope of the organization. May often state, new beds, dressings, etc, are not in the budget. Don t spend more switch from treatment to prevention.

19 Financials (Padula, 2011; Russo, 2006)

20 C-Suite and Material Management (REFREEZE) Current Reimbursement/Lack of Reimbursement for HAPU Are your CODERS and Wound Care Team talking? Healthcare Reform Changes National Benchmarking* A Guide not a golden calf No national standard for reporting Internal Benchmarking Transparent, Honest, REAL Feedback/Reporting System Mutual Accountability HAPU Rates By location By unit By stage By device Photos Financial Impact

21 Materials Management: Evidence + Fiscal Responsibility Dressings Tables Specialty Beds Pads Devices: Need to report injuries to manufacturer Work Together Is Your Materials Manager a Nurse/Clinician? If not, biggest challenge you face may simply be education.

22 Materials Management Make the financial benefit real and as evidence based as possible. Example: Dressings for Prevention Evidence for One Dressing What about me-too This one is cheaper doesn t it do the same thing. Example: Sheets/Underpads Who catches the best feces?

23 Unit Specific Case Study What? (UNFREEZING) PU prevalence studies revealed occipital PU were 4 th highest anatomical location (Driver) When: WCT consults were initiated between 72 hr- 12 days post admission. Wounds were first discovered 72 hr-12 days post admission

24 Unit Specific Case Study What areas were impacted? Primarily ICU Med Surg units Why? Causing Serious Harm to Patient Litigation Preventable!

25 Unit Specific Case Study What contributed to the event? OR procedure Length, Lack of Repositioning, Devices Braided hair What human, equipment or communication factors contributed? Anesthesia practice standard Inadequate intervention ROLLED TOWELS Folded Blankets

26 Results: People and Process People: Anesthesiologists Equipment: Z-Flo pillows (Moving) No towels or blankets Procedure/Process: Most intubated patients, exceptions Impact beyond OR (Refreezing) ICU Artic Patients Turning includes the head Braided hair

27 Example: Equipment (The Operating Room) OR Table Pads Standard (ineffective): 2 foam with vicryl cover or 2 static Gel. Options: Viscoelastic Foam Dyanmic: LAL vs Alternating Pressure FIS: Fluid Immersion Simulation Medical Director of OR Photos Spot Checks Positioners Specialty Beds Which ones? Standard in certain units? Bariatric Own vs. Rent

28 Product Evaluations and Successful Implementation Remedy Skin Repair Cream Prevalon Heel Boot Custom Wedges Incontinence Briefs Aspen Collars Breeze mobility system Underpads ET Tube Holders Chair Cushions Beds Silicone Nasal Cannula Mepilex Line Stretchers OR Table vendor off Medsurg Beds, mattresses Z-flo positioners Maxi-movers Maxi-sliders Trach Holders Sport LAL bed purchase for all ICU Ceiling Lift Systems Trach holders Up Next: Pediatric positioners Fluidized Pediatric LAL Crib Bariatric Beds positioners Purchase new bariatric surfaces OR Full body fluidized positioners.

58 Pressure Ulcers: Ischemia vs. IAD: Moisture/Inflammation Pressure Ulcer Occurs from bottom up Caused by pressure, friction and shear Involves ischemia Usually over bony prominence Usually regularly shaped with distinct edges Partial or full thickness, necrotic tissue Skin erythema is nonblanchable. IAD Occurs from top down Caused by moisture and chemical denudation Involves inflammation Skin may appear shiny and wet Usually in skin folds, gluteal fold, perineal area or and around containment device Shape and edges often irregular Partial thickness
