Educational Implications from the Transforming Care at the Bedside Initiative Pat Rutherford, MS, RN Vice President Institute for Healthcare Improvement AACN 2009 Baccalaureate Education Conference November 21, 2009 Chicago, Illinois
Session Objectives Participants will be able to: Understand key features of a process for engaging front-line staff in innovation and prototype testing which is based on the approaches to innovation developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and IDEO Describe the key strategies that have been successful in transforming care at the bedside Identify high leverage changes (and tests of change) to begin transformation on medical and surgical units Describe practical strategies for integrating the how and what of TCAB into undergraduate nursing education
Transforming Care at the Bedside Launched in 2003, Transforming Care at the Bedside (TCAB) is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) that engages leaders at all levels of the organization to: improve the quality and safety of patient care on medical and surgical units increase the vitality and retention of nurses engage and improve the patient s and family members experience of care improve the effectiveness of the entire care team
Quality improvement begins with love and vision. Love of your patients. Love of your work. If you begin with technique, improvement won t be achieved. A. Donabedian, M.D.
Deming s Thoughts on Transformation Metanoia: Reorientation of one s way of life (The New Economics. Deming, p. 95, 1993) Begins with individual More than a change Develop new habits of mind
Transformative Learning Not spontaneous (requires work and discipline) Creates new meaning to life, events, facts, interactions with others Results in change in perception; knowing which requires different action or structure What is the learning that creates a new habit of mind? Change perspectives and paradigms Challenge and validate assumptions Critical self-reflection Include and integrate experiences
System-Level Redesign Every system is perfectly designed to achieve exactly the results it gets. New levels of performance can only be achieved through dramatic system-level redesign.

TCAB Themes and High Leverage Changes.the what of TCAB Transformational Leadership Safe and Reliable Care Vitality and Teamwork Patient-Centered Care Value-added Care Processes
Safe and Reliable Care Care for moderately sick patients who are hospitalized is safe, reliable, effective, and equitable. High Leverage Changes: Develop a rapid response team or early recognition system Develop hospice and palliative care programs Prevent patient injury from falls Prevent hospital-acquired pressure ulcers Reduce harm from high hazard drug errors
Safe and Reliable Care
Vitality and Teamwork Within a joyful and supportive environment that nurtures professional formation and career development; effective care teams continually strive for excellence. High Leverage Changes: Building capabilities of front-line staff in innovation and process improvement) Develop mid-level Managers and Clinical Leaders to lead transformation Implement a framework for professional nursing practice based on the forces of magnetism Optimize communications and teamwork amongst clinicians and staff
Vitality and Teamwork National RN Turnover Rates 2004 13.9% to 16.8% 2005 12.1% to 13.5%
Patient Centered Care Truly patient-centered care on medical and surgical units honors the whole person and family, respects individual values and choices, and ensures continuity of care. Patients will say, They give me exactly the help I want (and need) exactly when I want (and need) it. High Leverage Changes: Create patient and family-centered healing environments Involve patients and family members in QI Teams Create an ideal transition home Initiate multidisciplinary rounds involving patients and family members (customizing care to patient s values, preferences and expressed needs
Patient Centered Care
Go and See..
Value-Added Care Processes All care processes are free of waste and promote continuous flow. High Leverage Changes: Create acuity-adaptable beds Optimize the physical environment for patients, clinicians and staff Eliminate waste and improve workflow in admission process, medication administration, handoffs, routine care and discharge process
Value-Added Care Processes
The Leadership Challenge Model the Way Inspire a Shared Vision Challenge the Process Enable Others to Act Encourage the Heart The Leadership Challenge Kouzes and Posner, 2002
Transformational Leadership Successful changes on the TCAB units will be adapted and spread to all medical and surgical units. High Leverage Changes: Establish, oversee and communicate system level aims for TCAB units and the spread of TCAB innovations Align system measures, strategy, projects and a leadership learning system Build improvement capability at all levels of the organization Get the right team on the bus CEO, CNO, CMO, CFO, and COO
Transformational Leadership Results of the Leadership Survey: Because of TCAB, front -line staff more likely to initiate change. (18 of 19 agree) Because of TCAB, quality improvement department works more collaboratively.(13 of 19 agree) Because of TCAB, more collaboration among department leaders. (15 of 19 agree) After collaboration ends, nurses will be less involved in change. (16 of 19 disagree) After collaboration ends, meetings will continue. (17 of 19 agree) Pilot and spread unit managers agree that TCAB innovations developed could be implemented without TCAB unit teams, but unit staff involvement in decision making on adoption contributed or contributed greatly to improving care delivery. (16 of 18 agree)
