MLHS Falls PreventionMLHS Falls Prevention

• Critical Assessment and re-assessment, include input from Pharmacy & Physical Therapy

• Falls risk communicated at handoffs• Evaluate unit equipment: alarms, low bed use, mats • High Falls Units

� Redesign unit care model (rounding, staffing, shift time) based on time of falls

� Re-institute Fall Huddle and post fall debriefing

• Consider � Bedside reporting, collaborate on risk, assess environment

• Hospital/Unit Falls Champions• Post “# days since (date of) last fall”

MLHS Pressure Ulcer PreventionMLHS Pressure Ulcer Prevention

• Pressure ulcer risk assessment for every patient on admission

• Reassess risk for all patients daily

• Inspect skin of at-risk patients daily

• Manage moisture

• Optimize nutrition/hydration

• Minimize pressure

• Experienced wound nurses to lead/educate

• Actively engage medical staff - documentation of ulcer ‘present on admission’ is critical

challenging!challenging!

• Identify the need for change using data

• State the problem concisely with a relevant description of problem / desired outcome

• Get the right people involved

– Identify a sponsor, multidisciplinary champions, expert facilitator, and leaders (possibly one from each discipline)

– Get management’s buy-in for project then commitment for their staff to

participate

• Back your request for change with data: pertinent studies, statistical rigor, their own patients’ information

� Femoral line utilization point prevalence

� ANOVA for SCIP (antibiotic timing)

� No Razor Campaign

Driving ChangeDriving Change……where to beginwhere to begin

• Find out what physician and team member priorities are…then align your requests with their needs

� Best outcomes for their patients

� SPEED, efficiency

� Research support

� Financial re-numeration

• Explain process (what, how, why?)

• Explain roles and responsibilities clearly

SCIP: PostSCIP: Post--intervention state intervention state

Interventions:•Colorectal pre-op and post-op standing orders were revised to reflect SCIP

guidelines

•Roles were clarified

� Surgeons are responsible for writing pre-op antibiotic orders

� Anesthesia staff are responsible for administration of pre-op antibiotics•An antibiotic question was added to the surgical “time out”

•A method was developed for rapid electronic feedback of individual service

compliance rates to surgeons/anesthesiology

Next steps:• Roll out to all surgical services

• Develop control plans to sustain gain for colorectal services

• Electronic method to monitor post-op glucose in cardiac pts.

• Electronic method to monitor core temp in colorectal surg. pts.

Fundamental Principles of PersuasionFundamental Principles of Persuasion

The Process of Persuasion: 4 StepsThe Process of Persuasion: 4 Steps

1. Establish credibility through expertise and relationships

2. Frame goals on common ground - describe benefits of your position; if you can’t find shared advantages, adjust your position: compromise

3. Vividly reinforce your position, don’t use ordinary evidence; make numerical evidence more compelling with stories, examples and metaphors that have emotional impact.

4. Connect emotionally – adjust your emotional tone to match the audience’s ability to receive your message. Learn how people have interpreted past events and predict how they will probably interpret/react to your proposal.

Effective CommunicationEffective Communication

• Handoffs and transfers are most critical time to ensure effective communication to prevent harm

• Organize your thoughts in bullet points

• Be concise, accurate and relevant

“Nancy Drew room 11103A…

Her mental status has changed. When I

went to check on her just now she was

awake and talking to me but not making

any sense.”

BackgroundBackground• Pertinent medical history

• Important events to date

“She is an 83 yo with a hx of PVD and is POD #1 from a thromboembolectomy of a left leg artery.

I was in her room about 45 minutes ago to bring her meds to her – metoprolol and Zocor – and she seemed perfectly lucid then.

She has no hx of dementia. I haven’t heard anything about mental status changes from her previous nurse.”

•• BB

AssessmentAssessment

• What is going on now

• Vitals

• Pertinent labs

“I took her vitals and they look fine: Temp 37.1, P 72, R 12, BP 114/68, O2 sat 97% RA, Accu check is 102

I’m worried she might have had a stroke”

•• AA

RecommendationsRecommendations

• What you think needs to be done

“I’d like you to come see her right away.

Is there anything else I should do right

now?”

Personality and Organization, New York, NY: Harper and Row, 1957

……know when negotiatingknow when negotiating

• Autonomy: they want to take care of their patients without interference and retain control over daily

operations; often leads to resistance to standardization

• Protection: they want administration to be buffer between them and market forces and change.

Leads to resistance to participation.

• Entitlement: I “give” you my patients; I want to “get”

what I need to take care of them. “I bring patients so it’s your job to make everything else work.”

Leads to resistance to participate and standardize.

Tools to Facilitate ChangeTools to Facilitate Change

• Clinicians, especially physicians, are into outcome,

not process

• They must understand the tools being used

• Make it fun, but relevant

• Lean and Six Sigma are stimulating, hold interest

Performance ImprovementPerformance Improvement

Six Sigma and LeanSix Sigma and Lean

• Both methodologies attack complex problems with a team that follows a logical thought process, utilizes data and makes fact-based decisions to solve a problem

• Both are customer focused

• Hybrid between a Six Sigma project and Lean combines aspects of both methodologies

• Individually, both methodologies are effective for problem solving; together, they become much more powerful

Six Sigma DMAIC FrameworkSix Sigma DMAIC Framework

Define high-level project goals and the current process.

Measure key aspects of the current process and collect relevant data.

Analyze the data to verify cause-and-effect relationships. Determine what the relationships are, and attempt to ensure that all factors have been considered.

Improve or optimize the process based upon data analysis using techniques such as design of experiments, analysis of variance (ANOVA).

Control to ensure that any deviations from target are corrected before they result in defects. Set up pilot runs to establish process capability, move on to production, set up control mechanisms and continuously monitor the process to sustain the gains.

Basic Elements of Lean Basic Elements of Lean Flow: The continuous creation or delivery of value without

interruption

5S: A complete system for workplace organization, including the process for sustainment

Visual Management: Using visual signals for more effective communication

Pull: Working or producing to downstream demand only

Standard Work: Identifying the “best practice” and standardizing to it, stabilizing the process (predictability)

1 by 1: Reducing batch size to one whenever possible to support flow

Zero Defects: Not sending product or service to downstream customer (internal or external) without meeting all requirements

EXECUTIONEXECUTION

“The most creative visionary strategic

planning is useless if it isn’t translated into

action. Think simplicity, clarity and focus –

and review your progress relentlessly.”Melissa Raffoni

Three Keys to Effective ExecutionThree Keys to Effective Execution1. Maintain your focus

– Realistic: align goals and resources; map actions out on time chart and make sure all is doable

– Simplicity: prioritize the “vital few”, communicate simply and often

– Clarity: everyone is clear about their role in driving goals; use stories/examples to clarify what needs to be done (or not!)

2. Develop tracking systems that facilitate problem solving– Metrics must be visible to everyone responsible for goals

– Keep asking “why?” to get to root cause of barriers to success

– Track process (Behavior) and outcomes

– Assign key success factors to only one accountable “owner”

3. Set up formal reviews– Review process/outcome metrics and discuss barriers routinely

– Personnel and resources should be at the top of the agenda
