practice
PROGRAM'S PURPOSE
> 1 % reduction in hospital admissions due to
falls, over a five-year period, economic analysis indicates over 700 falls could be prevented, saving $6 million and freeing up almost 6,000 bed days*
> Reduction in-patient falls
> reduce pressure injuries prevalence to <10% *Stephen Begg from Economic Analysis Unit (2010)

THE COLLABORATIVE
> Formed in 2006 in response to 2003 state-wide audit analysis revealing a prevalence of 14% hospital acquired pressure injuries
> 23 members following EOI > Multidisciplinary: consumer, senior nurses, specialist
nurses, clinical nurses, allied health, orthotics, medical, equipment funders, patient safety reps, program manager
> Public and private facilities > Community and inpatient sectors > Rural, regional and metropolitan representation
Every person at the table had passion for PI prevention
OBJECTIVES
Supporting QLD health services with: > Education > Equipment review > Review and expansion of resource guidelines for
use across the state and the health continuum > Standardise risk assessment tool > State-wide prevalence audits > User and data friendly reporting tool > Research > Keep resources current > NSQHS standards, accreditation support, iEMR
WHAT HAVE WE DONE: EDUCATION
> Brochures > Train the Trainer forums in regional
centres > Forums > Satellite Education broadcasts > Lanyard cards > Posters > Electronic training modules > Resource library development > Consultation support > Videos
TOOLS AND RESOURCES
WHAT HAVE WE DONE: EQUIPMENT
> Special grant of $1.5 million to change all mattresses in QLD Health to pressure relieving/reducing. Private facilities also participated in the upgrade
> Medical Aids Subsidy Scheme reviewed and changed prescribing criteria for community based equipment
> Participate in Standard Offer of Arrangement reviews for mattress, bed etc.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE: GUIDELINES
> Qld guidelines 2004 > Special health groups’ fact
sheets – bariatric, spinal, paediatric, operating theatre
> Pan Pacific guidelines 2011
> International guidelines
WHAT HAVE WE DONE: ASSESSMENTS
> Risk assessment > Standardise the risk tool recognising each
facility’s requirements > Develop forms for use
> Skin assessment > Pressure injury assessment
> rework educational material with the change to categorisation of pressure injuries
WHAT HAVE WE DONE: AUDITS
> Yearly state-wide patient safety audit QBA– risk assessment, skin inspection, pressure injury, reporting
> Review data collected to direct the collaborative’s focus and support local facilities
WHAT HAVE WE DONE: RESEARCH
> Recently welcomed Fiona Coyer, Professor of Nursing to the collaborative
> Collaborative members have contributed to PIP research – Dr Merrilyn Banks extensive contribution to the impact of nutrition in pressure injury
> Literature review: effective ways to educate and target nurses
WHAT HAVE WE DONE: OTHER
> Electronic medical record > Incident reporting tool > Activity Based Funding > QBA – pressure injury component > National Standards > Assist specialty areas to develop/ adapt tools to meet
their needs > Ongoing development of educational material > Other organisation linkages
WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED The statewide inpa*ent hospital-‐acquired pressure injury prevalence has decreased from 14% in 2003 to 4% in 2015
OUR FUTURE
> Develop tools to assist with management of Pressure
Injury
> Continue to build and strengthen community – QLD health
interface
> Empower consumers: PIP@home information
> Continue advocacy on the vital importance of Pressure
Injury Prevention
> Continue to provide education opportunities
THE FUTURE
> All staff able to correctly:
> Assess every client/ patient
> Identify skin conditions (not just
PI)
> Manage any PI encountered
> No hospital acquired pressure
injuries in our service

WHAT HAVE WE DONE: AUDIT
QBA RESULTS
Statewide results from 2012 to 2015 showed that:
> Falls screening on admission and falls risk assessment on admission improved by 7% (77% to 84%) and 5% (78% to 83%) respec*vely.
> These sta*s*cally significant results indicate a concentrated mul*disciplinary effort that focuses on a culture of pa*ent safety and improved quality outcomes for pa*ents.
OUR FUTURE
> Support HHSs to meet NSQHS standards 10 Preventing falls and harm
from falling and the transition to the new standards
> Education for both Health Professionals and Patients in Hospital settings
> Reduce functional decline – focus on exercise e.g. Otago Exercise
> Programme and patient education on discharge planning
> Promote and support research activities in falls injury prevention
> Resource development and maintenance, QBA support, Be Safe, Stay On

WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED
Multi-level coordinated approach > Persistence, Patience, Positiveness > Collaboration > Communication > Champions and executive leadership – top down/bottom up > Flexibility > Integration/Embedding > Dedicated capacity (short term) > Pre-packaged > Maintenance and sustainability – ongoing access to updated
materials > Focus and targeted > Implementation can be achieved with limited funding
NEW FOCUS
> Comprehensive care
> The final version 2 of the NSQHS Standards is scheduled for release in late-2017.
> Late 2017 identify gaps in resources provided by the Commission and what’s available QH
> 2018 – systematically address the gaps in resources, tools to support HHS
> Assessment to version 2 of the NSQHS Standards is planned to commence from 1 January 2019, with flexible transition arrangements for the first round of health
DIRECTIONS / WHAT'S NEXT
> Determine WHO we are assisting
> Determine WHAT assistance is required
> Determine HOW the assistance can be delivered
> Maintain momentum, integrate with existing programs and sustain the right components, engage clinical leaders
All within:
> Budget constraints
> Resource constraints – staff, time, mechanisms
