1 Information Management and Continuity of Care Safe Practices (8-13) David Bates, MD David Classen, MD Charles Denham, MD Becky Martins October 12, 2007 This Webinar focuses upon the following NQF-EndorsedTM Safe Practices: Safe Practice 8. Ensure that care information is transmitted and appropriately documented, in a timely manner and in a clearly understandable form, to patients and to all of the patient s healthcare providers/professionals, within and between care settings, who need that information in order to provide continued care. Safe Practice 9. For verbal or telephone orders or for telephonic reporting of critical test results, verify the complete order or test result by having the person who is receiving the information record and read back the complete order or test result. Safe Practice 10. Implement standardized policies, processes, and systems to ensure the accurate labeling of radiographs, laboratory specimens, or other diagnostic studies so that the right study is labeled for the right patient at the right time. Safe Practice 11. A discharge plan must be prepared for each patient at the time of hospital discharge, and a concise discharge summary must be prepared for and relayed to the clinical caregiver accepting responsibility for post-discharge care in a timely manner. Organizations must ensure that there is confirmation of the receipt of the discharge information by the independent licensed practitioner who will assume the responsibility for care after discharge. Safe Practice 12. Implement a computerized prescriber order entry (CPOE) system built upon the requisite foundation of reengineered evidence-based care, an assurance of healthcare organization staff and independent practitioner readiness, and an integrated information technology infrastructure. Safe Practice 13. Standardize a list of do not use abbreviations, acronyms, symbols, and dose designations that cannot be used throughout the organization TMIT 1

33 SP 8: Critical Care Information PRACTICE ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS CHECKLIST Critical Care Information: Ensure that care information is transmitted in a timely and clearly understandable form to all patient s healthcare providers/ professionals who need that information to provide continued care. CLOSURE OF CRITICAL INFORMATION LOOPS Closure of information loops both within and between healthcare organizations and care settings must be addressed. Patients must be provided with timely access to their medical records. Goal is to fully close information loops in a timely manner within and between healthcare organizations and between practitioners in all care settings. PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TO CLOSE CRITICAL INFORMATION LOOPS Organization performance improvement program addresses timely closure of information loops between caregivers and between patients and caregivers and actions taken to close patient safety gaps. Accountability for closing these performance gaps is assigned. Regular reports are provided to the board and senior administrative leadership including risk assessments, at a minimum, of imaging reports, laboratory and pathology reports, and what the organization has defined as critical information.

37 SP 12: Safe Adoption of Integrated Clinical Information Systems including CPOE Update 11_16_06 PRACTICE ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS CHECKLIST Safe Adoption of Integrated Clinical Systems including CPOE: Implement a computerized prescriber order entry system built upon the requisite foundation of re-engineered evidence-based care, assurance of healthcare organization staff and independent practitioner readiness, and an integrated information technology infrastructure. CPOE SPECIFICATIONS System facilitates medication reconciliation process. CPOE implemented in an existing electronic health record information system or existing clinical information system bi-directionally and tightly interfaced, at a minimum, with pharmacy, the clinical documentation department (including medication administration record), and the laboratory systems to facilitate review of all orders by all providers. System is linked to prescribing error-prevention software with effective clinical decision support capability. System requires prescribers to document the reasons for any override of an error prevention notice. System enables and facilitates timely display and review of all new orders by a pharmacist before administration of the first dose of the medication, except in cases where a delay would cause harm to the patient. CPOE facilitates review and/or display of all pertinent clinical information about the patient, including allergies, height and weight, medications, imaging, laboratory results and a problem list all in one place. System categorizes medications into therapeutic classes or categories (e.g., penicillin and its derivatives) to facilitate the checking of medications within classes, and retains this information over time. System has capacity to check medication ordered as part of the effective clinical decision support for the following: Dose range Drug dosing Drug frequency Drug-drug interactions Dose adjustment based on laboratory results Excessive cumulative dosing Drug allergies Proper route Therapeutic duplication 37 37

38 SP #12: Safe Adoption of Integrated Clinical Systems (CPOE) OBJECTIVE: To promote safe use of medications, tests, and procedures through successful implementation of integrated clinical information technologies that reduce preventable harm to patients. The Problem: Medical errors related to medication and other clinical ordering errors are common. The majority of such events are preventable. Integrated clinical information technologies offer clear benefits in reducing preventable patient harm and error by standardizing optimal care processes. However, adoption of such innovations may also introduce new risks and hazards. Careful adoption is required with recognition of the critical needs for clinical re-engineering of care processes, especially the ordering and administration of medications, readiness of integrated information systems at the point of care, and readiness of healthcare staff and independent practitioners to successfully and safely adopt new technologies, including Computerized Prescriber Order Entry (CPOE). A systematic approach to developing the foundational elements of evidence-based care re-engineering, assurance of healthcare organization staff and independent practitioner readiness, and foundational components of integrated information technology infrastructure must be established prior to implementation of complex technologies such as CPOE systems. Implementation of CPOE systems may occur with a staged or incremental approach. However, such systems, once implemented, should have certain verifiable functional characteristics. CPOE is literally the capstone to significant transformation but implementation can be disruptive. Implementing CPOE is a complex and challenging undertaking for a number of reasons. First, the changeover to physicians placing electronic orders significantly alters the order management process and thus affects the work flow of physicians, nurses, and others in the institution. Few processes and departments remain untouched, as many changes must occur across departments and disciplines. Second, many hospitals lack prior experience with clinical information systems, which affects how physicians organize and accomplish their work. This translates into the need for an information technology (IT) infrastructure that provides system access for all clinical users wherever it is needed, IT processes that are designed to provide almost instantaneous response to physician entries, training designed specifically for physicians, and system reliability for a mission-critical clinical application. Third, advanced clinical information systems provide organizations with functionality that can standardize clinical practice and guide clinician decision making at the point of care. Each organization must decide to what extent, where, and when it wants to implement these new capabilities. Success in this requires new relationships and a high level of collaboration among the IT organization, clinicians, and executive staff. In some hospitals, implementation of CPOE represents the first time the medical staff has collaborated with other disciplines to reduce variations in care. Use of clinical decision support tools the mechanism for integrating knowledge-based prompting and error checking is new territory for most hospitals. Fourth, it is increasingly clear that CPOE implementation can create new and potentially fatal errors. For the reasons stated, organizations need to develop a detailed information technology plan that is coupled to an organization migration plan that addresses cultural issues and change management. Realistic budgets need to be developed and allocated with both plans in mind such that CPOE implementation is safe, effective, and comprehensive. SAFE PRACTICE 12 Implement a computerized prescriber order entry system built upon the requisite foundation of re-engineered evidence-based care, assurance of healthcare organization staff and independent practitioner readiness, and an integrated information technology infrastructure. 38
