Improvement Plan: Focus on reducing opioid related harm

Background

Revelations from 2011 ADE data:• 30% of medication‐harm related to Opioids• 23% of all harm was Constipation• Risk highest on surgical wards

Forum to discuss findings (mid 2012)

Retrospective detailed analysis of a surgical ward requested

New Data Collection Tool

Baseline Data – Orthopaedic ward

N = 131Opioids = 114Harms = 49

Opioids implicated in Harm

Morphine Oxycodone Codeine Tramadol Other

Projects identified

Project A• Tackling high rate of opioid‐related constipation

Project B• Tackling opioid‐related oversedation

Change concepts and ideas – Project A

Idea for Testing in a PDSA Theory and prediction about what will happen when you test this idea

Regular Bowel charts for all patients on opioids

Regular bowel monitoring will identify problems early allowing for effective intervention earlier

PRN Laxatives charted in conjunction with opioids 

routinely

If bowel charts are working well then nurses will be alerted to administer laxatives early

Regular Laxatives charted in conjunction with opioids 

routinely

Laxatives to be administered in conjunction with opioids daily

Patient LeafletsLeaflet informing patients of constipation as an 

adverse effect of opioids and to let nurses know if bowels have not moved as per normal.

What didn’t work Changes that didn’t result in improvement

• No change to outcome measure (Constipation rate) • Improvement in use of full bowel chart but not sustained • Charting: no change • Administration: no change

Why? Needed better engagement to overcome barriers 

• Nursing• Medical Staff 

More drivers for the project• Increased presence on the ward• Needed engagement of pain team• Engagement of pharmacy 

Projects need to be short and sharp
