10 Consensus Based Decision Making Elements of a Consensus-Based Decision All parties agree with the proposed decision and are willing to carry it out; No one will block or obstruct the decision or its implementation; and Everyone will support the decision and implement it. Levels of Consensus 1. I can say an unqualified yes! 2. I can accept the decision. 3. I can live with the decision. 4. I do not fully agree with the decision, however, I will not block it and will support it. Improving the System of Care for STEMI Patients 10

11 Consensus Based Decision Making Consensus Decision-Making Participants make decisions by agreement rather than by majority vote. Inclusiveness To the extent possible, all necessary interests are represented or, at a minimum, approve of the decision. Accountability Participants usually represent stakeholder groups or interests. They are accountable both to their constituents and to the process. Facilitation An impartial facilitator accountable to all participants manages the process, ensures the ground rules are followed, and helps to maintain a productive climate for communication and problem solving. Flexibility Participants design a process and address the issues in a manner they determine most suitable to the situation. Shared Control/Ground Rules Participants share with the facilitator responsibility for setting and maintaining the ground rules for a process and for creating outcomes. Commitment to Implementation All stakeholders commit to carrying out their agreement. Improving the System of Care for STEMI Patients 11

12 Consensus Based Decision Making Sample Ground Rules 1. It s Your Show: We understand that this is our process. The facilitators are resources to take us where we agree to go. We determine the agenda, ground rules, issues and process. We agree to attend and fully participate in all meetings. 2. Everyone is Equal: We agree that all participants in the process are equal. 3. No Relevant Topic is Excluded: We agree that no relevant topics are excluded from consideration unless we agree they are. This is our opportunity to bring up and thoroughly discuss issues that concern us. 4. No Discussion is Ended: We agree that no discussion is ended, including process discussion, ground rules and rule of decision. Agreements reached at prior meetings, unless implemented, are always open for further consideration. 5. Respect Opinions: We agree to respect each other s opinions. We will use gentle candor in comments to each other and will not interrupt. 6. Respect the Time: We all understand the time constraints we face and agree to respect the time. No one will dominate the discussions, and all participants will have an opportunity to express their opinions. Improving the System of Care for STEMI Patients 12

13 Consensus Based Decision Making 7. Silence Is Agreement: We agree that silence on decisions is agreement. The facilitators and other participants cannot read our minds. If it appears that the group is reaching a consensus on an issue, if no one voices disagreement, it is assumed that all are in agreement. 8. Keep the Facilitator Accurate: We agree to make certain that the facilitators capture what we meant to say. We will keep the facilitators accurate. 9. Non-attribution: We agree that we will not attribute ideas or comments made by participants to others outside of this process. 10. Rule of Decision: We agree that the rule of decision is Consensus, a described above. We agree to strive for consensus. If agreement by all participants on an issue is not possible, we will seek to develop a clear and balanced statement of the areas of disagreement. Neutrality by any participant does not constitute a lack of consensus. 11. Media: We agree that all of our meetings are open to the media and to the public unless we close all or a portion of them by consensus. 12. Substitutes/Proxies: We agree that we will not send substitutes or proxies. We may send observers to meetings, but they will not have participant status. 13. Have Fun: We agree to do our best to enjoy the process and to help other participants do so as well. Improving the System of Care for STEMI Patients 13

15 Mission: Lifeline will: Promote ideal STEMI systems of care Help STEMI patients get the life-saving care they need in time Bring together healthcare resources into an efficient, synergistic system Improve overall quality of care The initiative is unique in that it: Addresses the continuum of care for STEMI patients Preserves a role for the local STEMI-referral hospital Understands the issues specific to rural communities Promotes different solutions/protocols for rural vs. urban/suburban areas Recognizes there is no one-size-fits-all solution Knows the issues of implementing national recommendations on a community level 15 Improving the System of Care for STEMI Patients

16 What is Mission :Lifeline? Mission: Lifeline is the American Heart Association s national initiative to advance the systems of care for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and those resuscitated after experiencing an Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest. The overarching goal of the initiative is to reduce mortality and morbidity for STEMI and Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest patients and to improve their overall quality of care 1/22/ , American Heart Association 16

17 Point Of Entry Protocol : GOAL Less than 90 Minutes Improving the System of Care for STEMI Patients 17

18 Identified MN Gaps and Barriers EMS protocols do not allow transport outside a certain area/county Lack of 24/7 12 Lead ECG capability in the field ECG interpretation skills False positives Lack of protocols to allow rapid identification of a STEMI patient Corporate loyalty Lack of pre-hospital STEMI activation from the field Lack of Multidisciplinary Meetings Lack of data collection Terrain/Weather Interfacility Transport Team response..and so on and so on 1/22/ , American Heart Association 18

19 Barriers to Timely Reperfusion The patient Failure to promptly recognize symptoms Hesitation to seek medical attention Time to transport Mandated delivery to the closest hospital, regardless of PCI capabilities Long transport in rural areas Decision process on arrival Clot-busting drugs vs. PCI Off hours Transfer to PCI facility Time to implement treatment strategy Procedural factors Team assembly 1/22/ , American Heart Association 19

20 The Ideal EMS In an ideal system: Ambulances are equipped with 12-lead ECG machines EMS providers are trained to: Use and transmit 12-lead ECGs Care for STEMI patients Provide feedback on performance and compliance with guidelines Standardized point-of-entry (POE) protocols define patient transport rules When there is STEMI, the cath lab is activated promptly Patients transported to a STEMI-referral hospital remain on the stretcher with EMS present pending a transport decision When walk-in patients present to a STEMI-referral hospital and require primary PCI, activation of EMS occurs Hospitals close the communication gap with EMS 20 Improving the System of Care for STEMI Patients

21 The Ideal STEMI-Referral Hospital In an ideal system: Standardized POE protocols dictate transport of STEMI patients directly to a STEMI-receiving hospital based on: Specific criteria for risk Contraindications to fibrinolysis The proximity of the nearest PCI service Patients presenting to a STEMI-referral hospital are treated according to standardized triage and transfer protocols Incentives are provided to rapidly: Treat STEMI patients in accordance with ACC/AHA guidelines Transfer to a STEMI-receiving hospital for primary PCI using: Reperfusion checklists Standard pharmacological regimens and order sets Clinical pathways There is rapid and efficient data transfer, data collection and feedback Integrated plans for return of the patient to the community for care are provided 21 Improving the System of Care for STEMI Patients

22 The Ideal STEMI-Receiving Hospital In an ideal system: Pre-hospital ECG diagnosis of STEMI, ED notification and cath lab activation occurs according to standard algorithms Algorithms facilitate: A short ED stay for the STEMI patient Transport directly from the field to the cath lab Single-call systems from STEMI-referral hospitals immediately activate the cath lab Primary PCI is provided as routine treatment for STEMI 24, 7 STEMI-receiving hospital s administration puts their support in writing A multidisciplinary team meets regularly to identify and solve problems A continuing education program is designed and instituted A mechanism for monitoring performance, process measures and patient outcomes is established Improving the System of Care for STEMI Patients

Lunch and learns over the noon hour at the clinic setting Our physicians rarely ever attend education that is planned specifically for them onsite. Again, I can't speak for physicians. Send guidelines and protocols by . Our ED physicians only meet quarterly as a group. 11 1

112 What delivery method of education that works best for Nurses, Ancillary Staff and EMS within your facility? In-Person Facilitated Training with AHA M:L Educators at your facility Facilitated Webinar Series Regionalized Mini-Conferences 86.05% % % 10 Comments: In person training is the best, hands on training if at all possible although difficult to get all staff to attend due to limitted staffing available. Sanford Bagley Medical Center and EMS We are open to whatever is available - we have 12 hour shifts with 6 week block schedules -so we try to plan events that all can get to either in person or webinars Case studies to read followed by a quiz, with CEU's offered. Red Lake Hospital 11 2

113 Do you receive regular feedback regarding STEMI patients from your regional PCI receiving facility? Yes 92.86% (39) No 7.14% (3) door to reperfusion times; total time spent in regional ED All of it. For data collection, getting a periodic report is helpful as to seeing our treatment and intervention times. It would be helpful to receive more immediate feedback on immediate cases as to what we did well or what we can learn from the case, as well as learning outcome. Door to vessel open time. The times at each level EKG to transfer time. Sometimes- and it is great to see areas where we can improve our care here and better "package" our patient Each portion of the STEMI is tracked by minutes with a goal time, (Ex. EKG time 5 min, call to transport, Meds given, our package time In Rural Hospital to Out Rural Hosp within 30 minutes is helpful to assure out times are good, and where we need to work on. And then total in Rural hosp to Open vessel time within 90minutes. Timeframes 11 3

114 Please describe a specific barriers or challenges that you have identified within your local STEMI system of care. Pre-Hospital Identification and Recognition of STEMI EMS Transport Hospital or EMS Communication Feedback and Process Improvement Inter-facility Provider to Provider Communication Responses Other Barriers or Suggested Solutions 38.46% % % % % %

115 Responses: Distance of helicopters and dispatch sending the closest most appropriate one. Feedback is often done several weeks after the fact. In our rural area- we have BLS services that provide ambulance services which is a barrier to getting anything reported or started on some of our patients Our providers (ED physicians) don't always recognize STEMI's via EKGs. We have EMT-basic here- no paramedic and no pre-hospital ECG which delays care especially if we plan to fly the patient. Contracted providers in the ED Geographically LaCrosse is closer to our facility and we are part of the SW Wisconsin region. However, we are hesitant to send patients to Skemp because all of the Cardiology out reach providers are from Rochester. All our local ambulances are basic, if air ambulance not flying ground must be dispatched and could be a 2 hour transer (one hour here and back to transfer hospital) Location/availability of air ambulance 11 5

116 Would your STEMI System be interested in forming a regional task force to meet quarterly to support system improvement. Yes 70.73% (29) No 29.27% (12) Northeast MN Meetings are difficult. Webinars and teleconferences would be best. South central/south west Northwest MN Fargo region- I'm not in favor of this. West Central Minnesota Northeast Minnesota. Itasca county Could Northeast region, we already have one with Essentia & St Lukes Pipestone County Medical Center, Southwest MN South west Wisconsin.
