Index Patient Spring 2015
• RCA for a fall with Injury– Fall in the context of a disagreement with her nurse over timing of
pain medication– 47yo woman admitted for mild dyspnea related to volume overload.– Long standing dialysis. Long standing anticoagulation for recurrent
blood clots– 28 day hospital stay for factitious fever (22 days of unexplained fever)– Manipulating her heparin drip– Emotional outbursts over control of her care– General recognition that this type of situation is not unique.
– Something must be done to help hospital staff recognize and care for patients with challenging behaviors….
![Page 11: Challenging Personalities: Multi-disciplinary Strategies ... plan, in the form of ... Consistent floor for nursing care ... – images of wounds in record suggest mild infections](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030420/5aa70a177f8b9aee748b8be3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Something Has to be Done…
How do we utilize our collected information to create institutional memory for our care of challenging patients?
How do we re-direct our patients with disruptive behaviors into more productive interactions?
How do we protect our staff from burnout?
How do we provide higher value in caring for patients with disruptive behaviors?

Something Has to be Done…RCA Action Planning Session – Executive and Senior Leadership
• Developed a working definition of challenging behavior
• Challenging behavior profile patients: high volume of admissions, longer
LOS, high resource utilization, increased opportunity for error
• Acknowledged that staff may not know how to handle these behaviors
• Identified that there is a small but well-defined patient population with
similar characteristics to index patient

Case Two - Summary
• 34 year old man with 10 ED visits in 5 months for “infected wounds”
• Violent behavior when admitted, particularly around decision to discharge.
• Suicidal threats when not given pain medications• Evidence of self-mutilation to obtain medications• Using “make-up” to make wounds look worse
than they are.
![Page 22: Challenging Personalities: Multi-disciplinary Strategies ... plan, in the form of ... Consistent floor for nursing care ... – images of wounds in record suggest mild infections](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030420/5aa70a177f8b9aee748b8be3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Case Two9:00 AM 9:15 AM
![Page 23: Challenging Personalities: Multi-disciplinary Strategies ... plan, in the form of ... Consistent floor for nursing care ... – images of wounds in record suggest mild infections](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030420/5aa70a177f8b9aee748b8be3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example of a Behavioral PlanMedical History: • 35 year old with depression, PTSD, antisocial personality disorder• Presents to ED mainly for cutting himself. Suspect that he is there for
pain meds.• Has been seen by a psychiatrist in the community who prescribed him
Klonopin 1 mg 4x daily• Frequently admitted for "wound infections" that he will state are "failing
oral therapy“– images of wounds in record suggest mild infections
• Wounds often won't heal properly as patient picks at them, removes sutures, and does not take care of them.
• Has been prescribed oxycodone on a regular basis from local EDs• Circulates between the local hospitals to see where he can get admitted
and obtain meds
![Page 24: Challenging Personalities: Multi-disciplinary Strategies ... plan, in the form of ... Consistent floor for nursing care ... – images of wounds in record suggest mild infections](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030420/5aa70a177f8b9aee748b8be3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Example of a Behavioral Plan
Behavior History:• Can be aggressive when he does not get his pain meds• Threatens suicide to stay in hospital but has no history
of actual suicide attempts– psychiatry opinion in past has been that these threats are
manipulative• Regularly changes stories as to how injuries are
obtained• Mar 2016-used make-up or face paint to simulate the
findings of cellulitis to get admission.
![Page 25: Challenging Personalities: Multi-disciplinary Strategies ... plan, in the form of ... Consistent floor for nursing care ... – images of wounds in record suggest mild infections](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030420/5aa70a177f8b9aee748b8be3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Example of a Behavioral PlanInpatient Plan: • Admission criteria: admit for active signs of infection that
require IV antibiotics– "Failing outpatient therapy" is generally not sufficient (i.e. he
is likely not taking meds, or is causing injury to delay healing)• Suggest to always have nursing clean skin around wound
prior to admission (see Mar 2, 2016 admission)• Suggest no benzos; but if must use, administer 2x daily at
most• Avoid IV narcotics• Photo document his wounds at beginning and end of
hospitalization and put in patient chart
![Page 26: Challenging Personalities: Multi-disciplinary Strategies ... plan, in the form of ... Consistent floor for nursing care ... – images of wounds in record suggest mild infections](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030420/5aa70a177f8b9aee748b8be3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Example of a Behavioral Plan
Behavior Plan:• Staff to be firm and warn him that we will press
charges for harassment if he threatens the medical team
• Do not bargain with his suicide threats• Do not use 1:1 for suicidal threats, only use if
medically indicated• If threatens suicide to avoid discharge, obtain quick
psych consult• Have Security present at time of his discharge as he
may become aggressive
![Page 27: Challenging Personalities: Multi-disciplinary Strategies ... plan, in the form of ... Consistent floor for nursing care ... – images of wounds in record suggest mild infections](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030420/5aa70a177f8b9aee748b8be3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Example of a Behavioral Plan
Discharge Needs:• Address homelessness, does he have anywhere to go?
Note that he is adamant about not going to a shelter
Readmission Reduction Plan: • Contact outpatient psychiatrist and work in conjunction
with him. Consider decreasing Klonopin• Is he actually a veteran? If so could link with VA services.• Refer to Inpatient Chemical Dependency
![Page 28: Challenging Personalities: Multi-disciplinary Strategies ... plan, in the form of ... Consistent floor for nursing care ... – images of wounds in record suggest mild infections](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030420/5aa70a177f8b9aee748b8be3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Example of a Behavioral Plan
Family Dynamics:• Homeless; was staying with a friend's father but stole
money from that household and is not welcome back • Has some family (2 children) in Buffalo but no contact• Had a couple of friends visit him while in hospital.
Someone named Don, seems to care about his welfare.
• Possibly in jail recently

Example Three• 22 year old with paraplegia and traumatic brain injury after an
MVA. Repeated admissions for infected decubitus ulcers and wound care.– Abusive to nurses– Often refuses care, particularly dressing changes and then accuses
staff of neglecting him– Frequent requests to change physicians and/or nurses– Throws ostomy, food trays– Calls hospital operator and impersonates a physician, asking to be
connected directly to the personal cell phones of hospital physicians– Accuses staff of sexual harassment– Ranges from charming to hostile on any given day– Home pain medication regimen may not be adequate when he is
hospitalized

Example of a Behavioral ContractWhile you are hospitalized at ____________________ (fill in hospital) the staff will endeavor to be as sensitive to your needs as possible. Our goal is to provide you with the best care you will allow us to provide. In turn, we expect you will be courteous and respectful towards the staff who are caring for you. The following is a list of required behaviors:
• We believe that you have the ability to act in a cooperative and respectful manner.• You will be respectful of staff who are trying to provide care to you. You will not raise your voice or use
abusive language. You have the right to refuse care, but we expect you to do so in a calm and respectful manner.
• If you are verbally abusive, argumentative or raise your voice, staff has been instructed to leave the room until you are able to calm down.
• Security will be summoned if you remain verbally abusive.• You will not throw things at staff. The staff has been instructed to call the local police to press charges for
assault if you fail to comply with this provision.• You will not make direct phone calls to physicians or to any other care providers. You may not call the page
operator to page physicians to your phone. Impersonating a physician is a serious offense and will not be tolerated. If you wish to speak with a provider, you must utilize the normal channels to communicate—namely by asking your nurse to convey a message.
• Your phone will be confiscated if you do not comply with the above stipulation.• For your own safety, you may not change physicians during your hospitalization.

Review of Evidence
• Are patients with challenging interactions common?
• How do these interactions impact our ability to provide care?
