21 1 Discharge Management Countdown to Discharge Pathway Discharge Readiness Questions Question 1: Do you have someone to help you at home? 2. Question 2: Do you have someone to give you a ride from the hospital to your home or care facility? 3. Question 3: Do you have any questions about medications? 4. Question 4: Do you have any other questions about your condition? 5. Question 5: Do you know when your follow up appointment is? 6. Question 6: Is there anything that would prevent you from going home on discharge date? 21

22 Pain Acknowledgement Pathway Goal: Continuity in patient family education regarding pain management Patient acknowledgement of their role in pain management process Expectation setting around pain management process 22

23 Patient Experience Perception (PxP) Patients receive survey questions on GetWell Network 1 survey (3 questions) at 1 PM CT (Monday-Friday) Every other day (starting day 2 after admission, ending on day 10) 1 survey question at 10 PM CT (Monday-Friday) Every day Provides the ability to monitor patient satisfaction in real time Address patient feedback and provide service recovery Identify trends and utilize patient feedback to improve the patient experience at University of Chicago Medicine 23

24 Questions asked of Patients via PxP Is the staff answering the call light? (Yes, I Don t Know, No) How is the hospital staff doing controlling your pain? (Great, Ok, Not Good) Is the noise outside your room keeping you awake at night? (Yes, I Don t Know, No) Have your nurses listened and explained things to you? (Yes, I Don t Know, No) ( PICU Only)Have your doctors listened and explained things to you? (Yes, I Don t Know, No) (NICU Only) Is the hospital staff teaching you about your medications and the side effects? (Yes, I Don t Know, No) 24

25 Staff Experience Notifications and Scorecard If the patient/ family selects the negative response (Not Good/ No) a notification is sent for follow up to: - The Nurse Manager and Charge Nurse - The Patient Relations team All patient responses are tracked and trended in the PxP scorecard on the Management Console for GetWell Network 25

31 Vocera Good to Go - Update 9 west - Currently used for patients. ACTIONS - Continuing support to department to increase the number of patients whose discharge instructions are being recorded. - Provide monthly management information - Conduct staff walkthroughs Diabetes Nurse Educators - Highly motivated to use tool. - Department wishes to have an educational library installed in Vocera prior to start using tool. CONCERNS: the department would like to use videos that are currently being offered in Get Well Network. It s unclear if UCM is allowed to use these videos in Vocera, and /or if it s technically possible to use these videos. ACTIONS: - support department in building educational library. - exploring other sources of information than GWN to build library. - Exploring options to use tool prior to library being ready. - Working with GWN and Kari Petzold on finding solution for use of GWN videos. Identify other departments - Cardiology (5SW) - Interested in using tool. - Potential other departments: - COPD / Asthma - Transplants 31

35 Leader Rounding 35

36 Leader Rounding: Approach Challenges Lack of structured rounding Lack of clarity on standard practice Needed to streamline accountability Limited ability to capture patient complaints or compliments Unable to track or address trends Solutions Standardize rounding with ipad technology Create alert process for support departments Capture, act on complaints and compliments in real time Outline expectations and ensure accountability Report rounding trends Reward and recognize staff 36

37 Leader Rounding: Approach Identified 29 Units Conducted leader education on tactics and importance of rounding Engaged frontline staff and leaders to design proper rounding process Adult Inpatient Pediatric Inpatient Adult Emergency Department Pediatric Emergency Department NICU PICU Child Life Implemented Care Rounds technology to streamline, standardize, and track real-time rounding using an ipad Took action and rewarded leadership and staff immediately for wins 37

39 Leader Rounding: Transparency and Accountability Collect - Analyze Share Learn - Act 39

40 Leader Rounding Engage and excite leadership by explaining potential for standardizing and tracking meaningful rounds Educate and involve frontline staff early in the training and development process Create a culture for cross-departmental coordination Reward and recognize employees throughout new process training Consistently track, report, act and improve Hardwire experience improvement strategies with technology 40

41 Mean Score Rounding Effectiveness: Nurse Manager Check Overall Rating of Care Mean Score Point Difference n= 581 Nurse Manager Check on you Daily- No n= 1997 Nurse Manager Check on you Daily- Yes Mean Score Mean Score Press Ganey Associates, Inc. 41

42 Discharge Care Call Center Goals: Elevate service to reduce readmission rates Extension of the service team and caring to home Coordinate feedback related to service experience Functions: Call DCAM and CCD ambulatory surgery patients post discharge to home Calls places within 3 to 5 business days post discharge, unless otherwise notified Forward compliments and complaints to management and Patient & Family Insights team Practice service recovery for patients and families Confirm post op and additional follow-up appointments Connect patients with specific clinical services for follow-up Coordinate with clinical services on follow-up calls and clinical issues Support a smooth transition for patients and families that extends to the home 42

43 Patient Feedback Discharge Calls Service Inpatient Inpatient Inpatient Comment People who served food as well as those who answered phones and took orders were extremely courteous. This was the best hospital experience of my life largely due to the work and attitude of my nurses. They were, without exception, wonderful. Nurse Cathy was wonderful - very caring and gave me all the information I needed to care for myself at home. Outpatient Oncology Outpatient Oncology Each & every time we needed to call WE WERE ABLE TO REACH them or they would call back in 10 min. One time, wonderful Dr. Hahn actually answered the call herself. If not, Tara would call back in 10 mins, Johanna too. They always let us know what's going on and how long to hook up. Very considerate. If my shoulder shows they close the drape. Outpatient Services Outpatient Services Inpatient Pediatric Inpatient Pediatric Emergency Department Emergency Department 2015 Press Ganey Associates, Inc. My medical practitioners, assistants & staff address not only immediate concerns, but exhibit extreme patience when I have questions in reference to complete care & options, by providing me with as much time needed. Their undivided attention is given to me prior to my discharge...to contribute to "calm departure". Over the phone communication was excellent (Chris was very informative, courteous, and professional, felt comfortable with his instructions. Informative. Nurse service was excellent start to end. Everyone from registration, to doctors and nurses were extremely informative & super friendly! Talked me through every step that was going on, the medicine that was administered and the way it will help. Reg[istration] staff was very courteous and professional. 43
