Wachter, M.D., Professor and Associate Chairman of the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco and Author of Understanding Patient SafetyDr. Wachter will trace the history of the “value” movement in American healthcare, beginning with pressures to improve quality and safety (driven by IOM reports published a decade ago) and now encompassing patient satisfaction and cost reduction. All healthcare organizations need a new focus on systems improvement and higher degrees of physician-hospital integration and collaboration than in the past.

A Community Collaborative Approach to Preventing Healthcare Associated Infections: MDROs and Antibiotic StewardshipRobert M. Wachter, M.D., ModeratorGary Heseltine, M.D., M.P.H., Epidemiologist, Texas Department of HealthJulie Sulik, RNC, THCA Nurse Council Chair, Sulik Sheridan Navasota, Inc.Hennie Garza, M.S., R.Ph., C.D.E., Director Pharmacy Utilization & Outcomes, Senior Care Centers Management, LLCCristie Columbus, M.D., North Texas Infectious Disease Consultants, Outpatient Infusion Therapy and Medical Education at Baylor University Medical Center, Vice Dean of Dallas Clinical Training Program – Texas A&M Health Science CenterPanel will highlight and discuss the need for collaboration across the continuum of care to improve infection control and reporting within all healthcare organizations.

From the information gained during this presentation, we encourage care teams to collaborate, take action and get involved in the implementation of best practices. 12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. Networking Lunch 1:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Afternoon Sessions & Faculty A Survivor’s Story: Patient Perspective and Ongoing Battle with Necrotizing FasciitisAlicia Cole, Survivor of Necrotizing Fasciitis and Patient Safety Advocate Ms. Cole is still recovering seven years later.

Surgical Site Infection Prevention and The Launch of New Comprehensive Surgical Unit Safety Program (SUSP)Chris Goeschel, Sc.D., M.P.A,. M.P.S., RN Assistant Professor and the Director of Strategic Development and Research Initiatives for The Quality and Safety Research Group (QSRG) in the School of Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, Johns Hopkins School of NursingThe presentation explains how SUSP supports evidence-based efforts to improve care in surgical programs. The program is based on the principles of Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP), which was developed at Johns Hopkins, and is now widely use around the world. The focus of CUSP is on process not people. Critical to success is frontline staff engagement and ownership, and through focus, improvements in patient safety are achieved. Hospital Associations, Hospital Engagement Networks (HENs) and state level coordinating groups play a key role in organizing and facilitating the work in their networks of organizations. The information will provide valuable insights for all organizations. What We Need to Know and Do to Cure Our Epidemic of Medical MistakesRobert M. Wachter, M.D.Professor and Associate Chairman of the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco and Author of Understanding Patient SafetyWhy are errors so common in American medicine? Dr. Wachter will address what needs to be done to improve patient safety. He will draw on powerful cases from clinical medicine, as well as analogies from other industries ranging from car manufacturing to take-out restaurants. Audiences will leave with a deeper understanding of the nature of the problem, and with practical tips for patients, care providers and healthcare leaders.

Welcome and Opening Remarks

Quicker and Sicker? Length of Stay, Readmission Risk and the Role of Health Information Technology Indranil R. Bardhan, Ph.D., Associate Professor Information Systems and Operations Management, The University of Texas at DallasAdequate length of stay during hospitalization is not only a critical determinant of the quality of care, it is critical in reducing the risk of future readmissions. Dr. Bardhan will share result of his Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) research relating to length of stay (LOS) and patterns of readmission. Insights gained from his research focus on the deviation between actual LOS and the Geometric Mean LOS as it relates to future readmission.

Why the Solution to Readmissions is Community Collective ActionJane Brock, M.D., M.S.P.H., Chief Medical Officer for the Colorado Foundation for Medical Care, the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization for Colorado and the lead support contractor for the CMS Readmissions InitiativeComprehensive presentation featuring an overview of care transitions quality improvement and how we define it using Medicare data. Dr. Brock will touch on readmission drivers and five important learnings from care transitions. In closing, she will address QIO workings relating to integrated care of populations and communities. An Automated Model to Identify Heart Failure Patients at Risk for 30-Day Readmission or Death Using Electronic Medical Record DataGeorge Holt Oliver, M.D., Oncology Fellow, Johns Hopkins MedicineA real-time electronic predictive model that identifies hospitalized heart failure (HF) patients at high risk for readmission or death may be valuable to clinicians and hospitals who care for these patients. Clinical and social data is extractable from the electronic medical records (EMR) and may predict mortality and readmission at 30 days. Incorporating complex social factors increased the model's accuracy, suggesting that such factors may enhance risk adjustment models designed to compare hospital readmission rates. Impact of Post Acute Care Delivery in Readmission Rate ReductionMari Tietze, Ph.D., RN-BC, FHIMSS, Associate Professor, T. Boone Pickens Institute of Health Sciences – Dallas Center, The Houston J. and Florence A.
