2014 GHA Board of TrusteesPatient Quality and Safety Commitment
• Your accomplishments resulted in Georgia being one of only six recipients of the Leading Edge Advanced Practice Topics funding.
• With third-year funding comes a greater emphasis on: – patient and family engagement
– eliminating health disparities – enhanced rapid cycle improvement to reduce Catheter
Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) and readmissions.

Georgia Hospitals Recommit to Goals and Focus Areas
• Safety Across the Board
• Meeting 40/20 Goals
• Reduce Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI)
– Address the hospital’s culture, criteria, care, competency and communication in reducing CAUTIs.
• Concentrate on patient and family engagement
• Reduce Readmission– Use of the 12 point bundle of project RED shown to reduce
readmissions which includes, patient education, medication management, and follow-up.

Georgia Hospitals Recommit to Goals and Focus Areas
Enhance Patient and Family Engagement (PFE) in Eliminating Health Disparities•Prior to admission, hospital staff provides and discusses a discharge planning checklist with every patient who has a scheduled admission, allowing questions or comments from the patient or family (e.g., the planning checklist may be similar to the CMS Discharge Planning Checklist)
•Hospital conducts shift change huddles and does bedside reporting with patients and family members in all feasible cases.
•Hospital has a person or functional area, that may also operate within other roles in the hospital, that is dedicated and proactively responsible for patient and family engagement and systematically evaluates
•PFE activities (e.g., open chart policy, PFE trainings, establishment and dissemination of PFE goals).
•Hospital has an active PFE Committee OR at least one former patient who serves on a patient safety or quality improvement committee or team.
•Hospital has at least one or more patient(s) who serve on a governing or leadership board and serves as a patient representative.

Focus 2014: Stop CAUTI!!
• Rapid cycle change to further decrease unnecessary urinary catheter utilization including nurse removal process
• Focus on ED and OR utilization
• Adopt then adapt
• Urinary catheter focus during rounding and bedside handover
• Observation and inquiry every day to assess necessity
• Fully engage staff, patients and families in this work

Fighting Sepsis:Actions You Can Take Today to Save Lives
Implementing the Surviving Sepsis Campaign Bundles can reduce the
mortality from severe sepsis an septic shock.
•Identify local champions and form a multidisciplinary committee to support
bundle implementation:
– Consider the ED, Inpatient Staff, ICU, Administration, pharmacy,
pediatrics, nursing and infection prevention, etc.
•Educate your staff and present the evidence.
•Break it down into manageable pieces and pick an area of focus:
– Measure lactate at time of triage for patients who meet SIRS criteria
– Reduce time to antibiotics
– Administer at least 30ml/kg fluid bolus within three hours
11/20/2013 36
Fighting Sepsis:More Actions You Can Take Today
• Time is critical!
• Prioritize pts with SIRS criteria from triage
• Create protocols and order sets which empower nurses and
reduce delays
• Don’t let a prolonged search for source delay the
administration of antibiotics
• Track your data and provide feedback to providers
• Let staff know how they are doing & celebrate success
11/20/2013 37
Fighting Sepsis:More Actions You Can Take Today
• Implement ‘Code Sepsis’ to emphasize the importance of immediate treatment.
• “Say Sepsis” - use the word sepsis early.
• Utilize your EHR to create sepsis alerts and order sets
– e.g., Link lactate order with blood culture orders so you have to opt out of the lactate measurement
• Create posters with your sepsis protocol and post them prominently
• Educate families on red flags–make them a member of the team.
