1 Patiet Safety Systems (PS) Itroductio The quality of care ad the safety of patiets are core values of The Joit Commissio accreditatio process. This is a commitmet The Joit Commissio has made to patiets, families, health care practitioers, staff, ad health care orgaizatio leaders. This chapter exemplifies that commitmet. The itet of this Patiet Safety Systems (PS) chapter is to provide health care orgaizatios with a proactive approach to desigig or redesigig a patiet-cetered system that aims to improve quality of care ad patiet safety, a approach that aligs with the Joit Commissio s missio ad its stadards. The Joit Commissio parters with accredited health care orgaizatios to improve health care systems to protect patiets. The first obligatio of health care is to do o harm. Therefore this chapter is focused o the followig three guidig priciples: 1. Aligig existig Joit Commissio stadards with daily work i order to egage patiets ad staff throughout the health care system, at all times, o reducig harm. 2. Assistig health care orgaizatios with advacig kowledge, skills, ad competece of staff ad patiets by recommedig methods that will improve quality ad safety processes. 3. Ecouragig ad recommedig proactive quality ad patiet safety methods that will icrease accoutability, trust, ad kowledge while reducig the impact of fear ad blame. Quality * ad safety are iextricably liked. Quality i health care is the degree to which its processes ad results meet or exceed the eeds ad desires of the people it serves. 1,2 Those eeds ad desires iclude safety. The compoets of a quality maagemet system should iclude the followig: Esurig reliable processes * The Istitute of Medicie defies quality as the degree to which health services for idividuals ad populatios icrease the likelihood of desired health outcomes ad are cosistet with curret professioal kowledge.

2 Comprehesive Accreditatio Maual for Hospitals Decreasig variatio ad defects (waste) Focusig o achievig better outcomes Usig evidece to esure that a service is satisfactory Patiet safety emerges as a cetral aim of quality. Patiet safety, as defied by the World Health Orgaizatio, is the prevetio of errors ad adverse effects to patiets that are associated with health care. Safety is what patiets, families, staff, ad the public expect from Joit Commissio accredited orgaizatios. While patiet safety evets may ot be completely elimiated, harm to patiets ca be reduced, ad the goal is always zero harm. This chapter describes ad provides approaches ad methods that may be adapted by a health care orgaizatio that aims to icrease the reliability of its complex systems while makig visible ad removig the risk of patiet harm. Joit Commissio accredited orgaizatios should be cotiually focused o elimiatig systems failures ad huma errors that may cause harm to patiets, families, ad staff. 1,2 The ultimate purpose of The Joit Commissio s accreditatio process is to ehace quality of care ad patiet safety. Each requiremet or stadard, the survey process, the Setiel Evet Policy, ad other Joit Commissio iitiatives are desiged to help orgaizatios reduce variatio, reduce risk, ad improve quality. Hospitals should have a itegrated approach to patiet safety so that high levels of safe patiet care ca be provided for every patiet i every care settig ad service. Hospitals are complex eviromets that deped o strog leadership to support a itegrated patiet safety system that icludes the followig: Safety culture Validated methods to improve processes ad systems Stadardized ways for iterdiscipliary teams to commuicate ad collaborate Safely itegrated techologies I a itegrated patiet safety system, staff ad leaders work together to elimiate complacecy, promote collective midfuless, treat each other with respect ad compassio, ad lear from their patiet safety evets, icludig close calls ad other system failures that have ot yet led to patiet harm. What Does This Chapter Cotai? The Patiet Safety Systems chapter is iteded to help iform ad educate hospitals about the importace ad structure of a itegrated patiet safety system.

3 Patiet Safety Systems requiremets ca be applied to achieve improved patiet safety. It is also iteded to help all health care workers uderstad the relatioship betwee Joit Commissio accreditatio ad patiet safety. This chapter does the followig: Describes a itegrated patiet safety system Discusses how hospitals ca develop ito learig orgaizatios Explais how hospitals ca cotiually evaluate the status ad progress of their patiet safety systems Describes how hospitals ca work to prevet or respod to patiet safety evets (Sidebar 1, below, defies key termiology) Serves as a framework to guide hospital leaders as they work to improve patiet safety i their hospitals Cotais a list of stadards ad requiremets related to patiet safety systems (which will be scored as usual i their origial chapters) Cotais refereces that were used i the developmet of this chapter This chapter refers to a umber of Joit Commissio stadards. Whe a stadard cited i this chapter is formatted with the stadard umber i boldface type followed by a colo (for example: Stadard RI : ), the laguage that follows the colo is the official stadard laguage, verbatim. Sidebar 1. Key Terms to Uderstad Patiet safety evet: A evet, icidet, or coditio that could have resulted or did result i harm to a patiet. Adverse evet: A patiet safety evet that resulted i harm to a patiet. Setiel evet: A subcategory of Adverse Evets, a Setiel Evet is a patiet safety evet (ot primarily related to the atural course of the patiet s illess or uderlyig coditio) that reaches a patiet ad results i ay of the followig: o o o Death Permaet harm Severe temporary harm For a list of specific patiet safety evets that are also cosidered setiel evets, see page SE-1 i the Setiel Evets (SE) chapter of this maual.

4 Comprehesive Accreditatio Maual for Hospitals No-harm evet: A patiet safety evet that reaches the patiet but does ot cause harm. Close call (or ear miss or good catch ): A patiet safety evet that did ot reach the patiet. Hazardous (or usafe ) coditio(s): A circumstace (other tha a patiet s ow disease process or coditio) that icreases the probability of a adverse evet. Note: Not all patiet safety evets are prevetable. Evet aalysis is warrated i order to idetify weakesses ad whether remedial actio is idicated. Becomig a Learig Orgaizatio The eed for sustaiable improvemet i patiet safety ad the quality of care has ever bee greater. Oe of the fudametal steps to achievig ad sustaiig this improvemet is to become a learig orgaizatio. A learig orgaizatio is oe i which people lear cotiuously, thereby ehacig their capabilities to create ad iovate. 3 Learig orgaizatios uphold five priciples: team learig, shared visios ad goals, a shared metal model (that is, similar ways of thikig), idividual commitmet to lifelog learig, ad systems thikig. 3 I a learig orgaizatio, patiet safety evets are see as opportuities for learig ad improvemet. 4 Therefore, leaders i learig orgaizatios adopt a trasparet, opuitive approach to reportig so that the orgaizatio ca report to lear ad ca collectively lear from patiet safety evets. I order to become a learig orgaizatio, a hospital must have a fair ad just safety culture, a strog reportig system, ad a commitmet to put that data to work by drivig improvemet. Each of these require the support ad ecouragemet of hospital leaders. Leaders, staff, licesed idepedet practitioers, ad patiets i a learig orgaizatio realize that every patiet safety evet (from mior evets to evets that cause major harm to patiets) must be reported. 4-8 Whe patiet safety evets are cotiuously reported, experts withi the hospital ca defie the problem, idetify solutios, achieve sustaiable results, ad dissemiate the chages or lessos leared to the rest of the hospital. 4-8 I a learig orgaizatio, the hospital provides staff with iformatio regardig improvemets based o reported cocers. This helps foster trust that ecourages further reportig. PS 4 Shadig idicates a chage effective July 1, 2015, uless otherwise oted i the What's New. CAMH Update 1, July 2015

5 Patiet Safety Systems The Role of Hospital Leaders i Patiet Safety Hospital leaders provide the foudatio for a effective patiet safety system by doig the followig: 9 Promotig learig Motivatig staff to uphold a fair ad just safety culture Providig a trasparet eviromet i which quality measures ad patiet harms are freely shared with staff Modelig professioal behavior Removig itimidatig behavior that might prevet safe behaviors Providig the resources ad traiig ecessary to take o improvemet iitiatives For these reasos, may of the stadards that are focused o the hospital s patiet safety system appear i the Joit Commissio s Leadership (LD) stadards, icludig Stadard LD : The hospital has a orgaizatiowide, itegrated patiet safety program withi its performace improvemet activities. Without the support of hospital leaders, hospitalwide chages ad improvemet iitiatives are difficult to achieve. Leadership egagemet i patiet safety ad quality iitiatives is imperative because 75% to 80% of all iitiatives that require people to chage their behaviors fail i the absece of leadership maagig the chage. 4 Thus, leadership should take o a log-term commitmet to trasform the hospital. 10 Safety Culture A strog safety culture is a essetial compoet of a successful patiet safety system ad is a crucial startig poit for hospitals strivig to become learig orgaizatios. I a strog safety culture, the hospital has a ureletig commitmet to safety ad to do o harm. Amog the most critical resposibilities of hospital leaders is to establish ad maitai a strog safety culture withi their hospital. The Joit Commissio s stadards address safety culture i Stadard LD : Leaders create ad maitai a culture of safety ad quality throughout the hospital. The safety culture of a hospital is the product of idividual ad group beliefs, values, attitudes, perceptios, competecies, ad patters of behavior that determie the orgaizatio s commitmet to quality ad patiet safety. Hospitals that have a robust safety culture are characterized by commuicatios fouded o mutual trust, by shared Shadig idicates a chage effective July 1, 2015, uless otherwise oted i the What's New.

6 Comprehesive Accreditatio Maual for Hospitals perceptios of the importace of safety, ad by cofidece i the efficacy of prevetive measures. 11 Orgaizatios will have varyig levels of safety culture, but all should be workig toward a safety culture that has the followig qualities: Staff ad leaders that value trasparecy, accoutability, ad mutual respect. 4 Safety as everyoe s first priority. 4 Behaviors that udermie a culture of safety are ot acceptable, ad thus should be reported to orgaizatioal leadership by staff, patiets, ad families for the purpose of fosterig risk reductio. 4,10,12 Collective midfuless is preset, wherei staff realize that systems always have the potetial to fail ad staff are focused o fidig hazardous coditios or close calls at early stages before a patiet may be harmed. 10 Staff do ot view close calls as evidece that the system preveted a error but rather as evidece that the system eeds to be further improved to prevet ay defects. 10,13 Staff who do ot dey or cover up errors but rather wat to report errors to lear from mistakes ad improve the system flaws that cotribute to or eable patiet safety evets. 6 Staff kow that their leaders will focus ot o blamig providers ivolved i errors but o the systems issues that cotributed to or eabled the patiet safety evet. 6,14 By reportig ad learig from patiet safety evets, staff create a learig orgaizatio. A safety culture operates effectively whe the hospital fosters a cycle of trust, reportig, ad improvemet. 10,15 I hospitals that have a strog safety culture, health care providers trust their coworkers ad leaders to support them whe they idetify ad report a patiet safety evet. 10 Whe trust is established, staff are more likely to report patiet safety evets, ad hospitals ca use these reports to iform their improvemet efforts. I the trust-report-improve cycle, leaders foster trust, which eables staff to report, which eables the hospital to improve. 10 I tur, staff see that their reportig cotributes to actual improvemet, which bolsters their trust. Thus, the trust-report-improve cycle reiforces itself. 10 (See Figure 1 o page PS-7.) Shadig idicates a chage effective July 1, 2015, uless otherwise oted i the What's New.

7 Patiet Safety Systems RPI Leadership Trust High Reliability Improve Report Health Care Safety Culture Figure 1. The Trust-Report-Improve Cycle I the trust-report-improve cycle, trust promotes reportig, which leads to improvemet, which i tur fosters trust. Leaders eed to esure that itimidatig or uprofessioal behaviors withi the hospital are addressed, so as ot to ihibit others from reportig safety cocers. 16 Leaders should both educate staff ad hold them accoutable for professioal behavior. This icludes the adoptio ad promotio of a code of coduct that defies acceptable behavior as well as behaviors that udermie a culture of safety. The Joit Commissio s Stadard LD , EP 4, requires that leaders develop such a code. Itimidatig ad disrespectful behaviors disrupt the culture of safety ad prevet collaboratio, commuicatio, ad teamwork, which is required for safe ad highly reliable patiet care. 17 Disrespect is ot limited to outbursts of ager that humiliate a member of the health care team; it ca maifest i may forms, icludig the followig: 4,12,17 Iappropriate words (profae, isultig, itimidatig, demeaig, humiliatig, or abusive laguage) Shamig others for egative outcomes Ujustified egative commets or complaits about aother provider s care Refusal to comply with kow ad geerally accepted practice stadards, the refusal of which may prevet other providers from deliverig quality care Shadig idicates a chage effective July 1, 2015, uless otherwise oted i the What's New.

8 Comprehesive Accreditatio Maual for Hospitals Not workig collaboratively or cooperatively with other members of the iterdiscipliary team Creatig rigid or iflexible barriers to requests for assistace or cooperatio Not returig pages or calls promptly These issues are still occurrig i hospitals atiowide. Of 4,884 respodets to a 2013 survey by the Istitute for Safe Medicatio Practices (ISMP), 73% reported ecouterig egative commets about colleagues or leaders durig the previous year. I additio, 68% reported codescedig laguage or demeaig commets or isults; while 77% of respodets said they had ecoutered reluctace or refusal to aswer questios or retur calls. 18 Further, 69% report that they had ecoutered impatiece with questios or the hagig up of the phoe. Nearly 50% of the respodets idicated that itimidatig behaviors had affected the way they hadle medicatio order clarificatios or questios, icludig assumig that a order was correct i order to avoid iteractio with a itimidatig coworker. 18 Moreover, 11% said they were aware of a medicatio error durig the previous year i which behavior that udermies a culture of safety was a cotributig factor. The respodets icluded urses, physicias, pharmacists, ad quality/risk maagemet persoel. Oly 50% of respodets idicated that their orgaizatios had clearly defied a effective process for hadlig disagreemets with the safety of a order. This is dow from 60% of respodets to a similar ISMP survey coducted i 2003, which suggests that this problem is worseig. 18 While these data are specific to medicatio safety, their lessos are broadly applicable: Behaviors that udermie a culture of safety have a adverse effect o quality ad patiet safety. A Fair ad Just Safety Culture A fair ad just safety culture is eeded for staff to trust that they ca report patiet safety evets without beig treated puitively. 2, 8 I order to accomplish this, hospitals should provide ad ecourage the use of a stadardized reportig process for staff to report patiet safety evets. This is also built ito the Joit Commissio s Leadership stadards at LD , EP 6: The leaders provide ad ecourage the use of systems for blamefree reportig of a system or process failure, or the results of proactive risk assessmets. Reportig eables both proactive ad reactive risk reductio. Proactive risk reductio solves problems before patiets are harmed, ad reactive risk reductio attempts to prevet the recurrece of problems that have already caused patiet harm. 10,15 Shadig idicates a chage effective July 1, 2015, uless otherwise oted i the What's New.

9 Patiet Safety Systems A fair ad just culture takes ito accout that idividuals are huma, fallible, ad capable of mistakes, ad that they work i systems that are ofte flawed. I the most basic terms, a fair ad just culture holds idividuals accoutable for their actios but does ot puish idividuals for issues attributed to flawed systems or processes. 14,18,19 Refer to Stadard LD , EP 4: Staff are held accoutable for their resposibilities. It is importat to ote that for some actios for which a idividual is accoutable, the idividual should be held culpable ad some discipliary actio may the be ecessary. (See Sidebar 2, below, for a discussio of tools that ca help leaders determie a fair ad just respose to a patiet safety evet.) However, staff should ever be puished or ostracized for reportig the evet, close call, hazardous coditio, or cocer. Sidebar 2. Assessig Staff Accoutability The aim of a safety culture is ot a blame-free culture but oe that balaces learig with accoutability. To achieve this, it is essetial that leaders assess errors ad patters of behavior i a maer that is applied cosistetly, with the goal of elimiatig behaviors that udermie a culture of safety. There has to exist withi the hospital a clear, equitable, ad trasparet process for recogizig ad separatig the blameless errors that fallible humas make daily from the usafe or reckless acts that are blameworthy. 1 7 A appropriate model for this process is the Icidet Decisio Tree developed by the Uited Kigdom s Natioal Patiet Safety Agecy. The agecy adapted this from James Reaso s culpability matrix. 5 For a cosistet process, leaders ca adapt the followig questios to assess the idividual s culpability i the patiet safety evet: 5 Were the actios itetioal? (Deliberate harm test) o If the aswer to the above questio is yes, the were adverse cosequeces iteded? Does there appear to be evidece of poor health or substace abuse? (Icapacity test) o If yes, the does the idividual have a kow medical coditio? l l If yes, the is there evidece the idividual took a uacceptable risk? If yes, the were there sigificat mitigatig circumstaces? Did the idividual depart from agreed protocols or safe procedures? (Foresight test) o If yes, the were the protocols ad safe procedures available, workable, itelligible, correct, ad i routie use?

10 Comprehesive Accreditatio Maual for Hospitals l l If yes, the is there evidece the idividual took a uacceptable risk? If yes, the were there sigificat mitigatig circumstaces? Would aother idividual comig from the same professioal group, possessig comparable qualificatios ad experiece, behave i the same way i similar circumstaces?

If yes, the were there sigificat mitigatig circumstaces? Reachig aswers to these questios requires a iitial ivestigatio ito the patiet safety evet to idetify cotributig factors. The use of the Icidet Decisio Tree or other formal decisio process ca help make determiatios of culpability more trasparet ad fair. 5 Refereces 1. The Joit Commissio.

Some key Joit Commissio stadards related to data collectio ad use iclude the followig: EC : The hospital collects iformatio to moitor coditios i the eviromet.

Aalyzig Data Effective data aalysis ca eable a hospital to diagose problems withi its system similar to the way oe would diagose a patiet s illess based o symptoms, health history, ad other factors. Turig data ito iformatio is a critical competecy of a learig orgaizatio ad of effective maagemet of chage. Whe the right data are collected ad appropriate aalytic techiques are applied, it eables the hospital to moitor the performace of a system, detect variatio, ad idetify opportuities to improve. This ca help the hospital ot oly uderstad the curret performace of hospital systems but also ca help it predict its performace goig forward. 23 Aalyzig data with tools such as ru charts, statistical process cotrol (SPC) charts, ad capability charts helps a hospital determie what has occurred i a system ad provides clues as to why the system respoded as it did. 23 Table 1, followig, describes ad compares examples of these tools.

By egagig i proactive risk reductio, a hospital ca correct process problems i order to reduce the likelihood of experiecig adverse evets. I a proactive risk assessmet the hospital evaluates a process to see how it could potetially fail, to uderstad the cosequeces of such a failure, ad to idetify parts of the process that eed improvemet. A proactive risk assessmet icreases uderstadig withi the orgaizatio about the complexities of process desig ad maagemet ad what could happe if the process fails. Whe coductig a proactive risk assessmet, orgaizatios should prioritize high-risk, high-volume areas. Areas of risk are idetified from iteral sources such as ogoig moitorig of the eviromet, results of previous proactive risk assessmets, from results of data collectio activities. Risk assessmet tools should be accessed from credible exteral sources such as a Setiel Evet Alert, atioally recogized risk assessmet tools, ad peer review literature. Beefits of a proactive approach to patiet safety icludes icreased likelihood of the followig: Idetificatio of actioable commo causes Avoidace of uiteded cosequeces Idetificatio of commoalities across departmets/services/uits Idetificatio of system solutios Hazardous (or usafe) coditios provide a opportuity for a hospital to take a proactive approach to reduce harm.

15 Patiet Safety Systems patiet safety evet. A hazardous coditio may be the result of a huma error or violatio, may be a desig flaw i a system or process, or may arise i a system or process i chagig circumstaces. A proactive approach to such coditios should iclude a aalysis of the systems ad processes i which the hazardous coditio is foud, with a focus o coditios that preceded the hazardous coditio. (See Sidebar 3, below.) A proactive approach to hazardous coditios should iclude a aalysis of the related systems ad processes, icludig the followig aspects: 30 Precoditios. Examples iclude hazardous (or usafe) coditios i the eviromet of care (such as oise, clutter, wet floors ad so forth), iadequate staffig levels, a operator who is impaired or iadequately traied. Supervisory iflueces. Examples iclude iadequate supervisio, plaed iappropriate operatios, failure to address a kow problem, authorizatio of activities that are kow to be hazardous. Orgaizatioal iflueces. Examples iclude iadequate staffig, iadequate policies, lack of strategic risk assessmet. The Joit Commissio requires proactive risk assessmets at Stadard LD , EP 10: At least every 18 moths, the hospital selects oe high-risk process ad coducts a proactive risk assessmet. Hospitals should recogize that this stadard represets a miimum requiremet. Hospitals workig to become learig orgaizatios are ecouraged to exceed this requiremet by costatly workig to proactively idetify risk. Sidebar 3. Strategies for a Effective Risk Assessmet Although several methods could be used to coduct a proactive risk assessmet, the followig steps comprise oe approach: Describe the chose process (for example, through the use of a flowchart). Huma errors are typically skills based, decisio based, or kowledge based; whereas violatios could be either routie or exceptioal (itetioal or egliget). Routie violatios ted to iclude habitual bedig of the rules, ofte eabled by maagemet. A routie violatio may break established rules or policies, ad yet be a commo practice withi a orgaizatio. A exceptioal violatio is a willful behavior outside the orm that is ot codoed by maagemet, egaged i by others, ad ot part of the idividual s usual behavior.

A FMEA is used to prospectively examie how failures could occur durig high-risk processes ad, ultimately, how to prevet them. The FMEA asks What if? to explore what could happe if a failure occurs at particular steps i a process. 31 Hospitals have other tools they ca cosider usig i their proactive risk assessmet.

Ecouragig Patiet Activatio To achieve the best outcomes, patiets ad families must be more actively egaged i decisios about their health care ad must have broader access to iformatio ad support. Patiet activatio is iextricably itertwied with patiet safety. Activated patiets are less likely to experiece harm ad uecessary hospital readmissios. Patiets who are less activated suffer poorer health outcomes ad are less likely to follow their provider s advice. 32,33 A patiet-cetered approach to care ca help hospitals assess ad ehace patiet activatio. Achievig this requires leadership egagemet i the effort to establish patiet-cetered care as a top priority throughout the hospital. This icludes adoptig the followig priciples: 34 Patiet safety guides all decisio makig. Patiets ad families are parters at every level of care. Patiet- ad family-cetered care is verifiable, rewarded, ad celebrated. The licesed idepedet practitioer resposible for the patiet s care, or his or her desigee, discloses to the patiet ad family ay uaticipated outcomes of care, treatmet, ad services. Though Joit Commissio stadards do ot require apology, evidece suggests that patiets beefit ad are less likely to pursue litigatio whe physicias disclose harm, express sympathy, ad apologize. Staffig levels are sufficiet, ad staff has the ecessary tools ad skills. The hospital has a focus o measuremet, learig, ad improvemet.
