Real-time feedback system
for improving
clinician performance

CHARMERS
Project Aim
To improve compliance
with Q-ADDS utilisation
through ongoing audit
and instant, comparative
and meaningful
feedback reports.
CHARMERS
Background
• GCHHS has 3 inpatient facilities – Carrara Health Centre – 63 bed
– Robina Hospital - 364 beds
– GCUH - 750 beds
(opened Sept 2013)
• Staffing – Nurses- 2542 FTE
– Medical- 858 FTE
(up by 17% in the last year)
CHARMERS
Background
• In preparation for the move to the new
university hospital
– Identified need to use and ensure correct use of
an early warning tool
• In July 2011, replaced 13 observation charts
with the one vital sign chart, Q-ADDS
(Queensland Health’s Adult Deterioration
System)
CHARMERS
CHARMERS
Background
• At Q-ADDS
implementation,
local auditing
was commenced
to track and
maintain quality
of charting
CHARMERS
The problem with auditing …
• Resource intensive for collection and analysis
• Difficult to collate & analyse
• Delayed reporting & feedback distribution
• Identified areas for improvement became irrelevant
CHARMERS
The Annual Queensland Bedside Audit (QBA) 2012
identified GCHHS issues in Q-ADDS charting

CHARMERS
Local plan to improve quality
• Frequent ongoing audits instead of a
single bulk audit
• Real-time feedback on results to promote
local quality improvement
• Desire to use technology for the process
• Consistent, standardised audit approach

Audit
Report

Educate
Solution: CHARMERS Charts, Audits, Records and Medical Emergency Report/Review System
Online & fun
Blocks poor data entry
Consistent with procedure
Takes 1 minute per chart
Min 10 per week
Automatic reports generated
Different level reports
Immediate feedback
Local review identifies
low-risk issues weekly.
High risk issues are reported
daily.
Result-based
improvements
Shows rapid, visible
change.
CHARMERS
• The audit is designed to take no more than
1 minute per chart
• We aimed for 10 audits per IPU, per week
(10 minutes work!)
• Natural competitiveness between IPU’s
helps us with maintaining the number and
quality of audits!
Q-ADDS Audit
CHARMERS
CHARMERS Audit
• The questions are designed
to rapidly identify poor
practice in Q-ADDS use
– Missed deterioration and
missed escalation
– MET criteria reached but
not acted on
• These type of practices are
then specifically identified on
the reports
• The questions directly relate
to and reinforce the GCHHS
Vital Signs Procedure
CHARMERS
CHARMERS
CHARMERS
Report and Review
• Daily, weekly and monthly reports are
automatically sent by CHARMERS to relevant
parties
– Giving real-time feedback to NUMs and
educators, which helps to improve local practice
• Staff can give their time to acting on the
reports, instead of collating and analysing the
data

Educating and improving
• Closing the quality/education loop by using
these reports effectively at IPU level
– instant feedback and capability of showcasing
local results.
• Timely reporting is critical to this process
– Events and outcomes can easily be linked

Summary
• CHARMERS is demonstrating the
effectiveness of frequent audits and high
quality real time reporting
• Positively impacting clinician behaviour in
regards to quality in patient safety initiative
– Improving vital sign charting and escalating
clinical concerns with use of Q-ADDS and
associated EWTs
CHARMERS
Leading through governance…
• with strong nursing leadership driving innovation,
• with establishment of norms and directing
expectations in the correct use of the vital signs
charting and escalation of clinical concerns aligning
to local procedures,
• with engaged participation at local level in auditing,
reporting and quality improvement strategies, and
• with educational and procedural developments -
locally and health service wide, to enhance overall
clinical performance and patient care and safety.

Future plans
This audit and report system is being used (or in planning
for)
– Blood products (NSQHS Standard 7)
– Medication charts (NSQHS Standard 4)
– Resuscitation carts (NSQHS Standard 9)
– Code Blue/MET response (NSQHS Standard 9)
– Etc….
