National Patient Safety Goals
• The purpose of the National Patient Safety Goals is to improve patient safety. The Goals focus on problems in health care, safety and how to solve them.
Why Performance Improvement?
• The purpose of the Performance Improvement Program is to do the right thing at the right time, and for the right reasons, for our patients.
• The Interdisciplinary Performance Improvement Program supports hospital departments and staff in achieving standards of “Excellence” and Patient Safety
Dimensions of Performance
Doing the Right Thing• Efficacy – Are we
producing the desired effect?
• Appropriateness – Are we doing the proper thing?
Dimensions of Performance
Doing the Right Thing WellAre we doing the right things
• Timely• Effectively• Safely• Efficiently• With Respect
and Caring
Patient Safety Facts
• Institute of Medicine reported that 44,000 to 98,000 people die in the US hospitals each year as a result of medical errors.
Medical Error
• Medical Errors happen when something that was planned as part of medical care doesn’t work out, or when the wrong plan was used in the first place
• They can happen during even the most routine tasks
• Most errors result from problems created by today’s complex healthcare system; but errors also happen when we don’t communicate well

NPSG - Improve the Accuracy of Patient Identification
• Use two patient identifiers when providing care, treatment or services (administering medications, handling specimens, during surgery, blood transfusions, procedures and other treatments).
• It is necessary to know what the institution you are in is using as their two identifiers. Additionally you must know how the institution handles those who are hearing impaired or non-verbal. – Ask patient to state name and date of birth– Check information against a source document– Utilize the Surgical & Invasive Procedure Protocol
Perioperative Check List and Verification, Surgical Site Marking, Time-out
– Specimen Containers are labeled in the presence of the patient– Two persons verify blood transfusions
Never use the patients room number or physical location as an identifier!
NPSG – Improve the Effectiveness of Communication Among Caregivers
• Telephone Orders and Test Results are written down and verified with a “Read-back” – get confirmation!
• Do Not Abbreviate: Morphine, Magnesium, Daily, Every Other Day, Heparin, Coumadin, Unit, International Units, Both Eyes, and
• Always Use Leading Zeros, Never Use Trailing Zeros• Measure and Improve the timeliness of reporting and
receipt by the caregiver of Critical Test Results & Critical Values.
• Standardize approach to “hand off” communication & includes opportunity to ask and respond to questions; verifying information was understood
NPSG - Improve the Safety of Using Medications
• ‘Look-alike/Sound-alike’ drugs used in the organization are identified & actions taken to prevent errors involving the interchange of these drugs.
• Label all medications, medication containers (e.g., syringes, medicine cups, basins), or other solutions on and off the sterile field. Discard unused liquids.
NPSG - Improve the Safety of Using Medications
• Reduce the likelihood of patient harm associated with the use of anticoagulation therapy.– Defined anticoagulation management program– Use oral unit-dose or pre-mixed infusions– Establish monitoring practices – Use approved protocols– Utilize INR for monitoring– Utilize a food/drug interaction program– Assess baseline and ongoing laboratory testing– Staff, patients and families are educated to anticoagulation
therapy– Anticoagulation Safety Practices undergo evaluation
Reduce the Risk of Healthcare Acquired Infections
• Comply with current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Hand Hygiene guidelines.
• Manage as sentinel events all identified cases of unanticipated death or major permanent loss of function associated with a healthcare acquired infection.
• Implement evidence-based practices to prevent – health care-associated infections due to multi-drug
resistant organisms in acute care hospitals.– central line associated infections.– surgical site infections
NPSG- Accurately and Completely Reconcile Medication Across the Continuum
of Care
• Obtain and document patient’s current medications upon admission/entry
• Compare the list to those ordered and resolve discrepancies
• Communicate a complete list of the patient’s medications to the next provider of service when transferred to another setting, service, practitioner or level of care within or outside the organization. The next provider checks the medication reconciliation list again to make sure it is accurate and in concert with any new medication to be ordered/prescribed.
• The complete list of medications is provided to the patient on discharged from the organization.
NPSG – Reduce the Potential of Patient Harm Resulting from Falls
• Implement a fall reduction program that includes
• An evaluation as appropriate to the patient, the setting and services provided;
• patient, family and staff education;
• and program effectiveness
NPSG – Encourage patients’ active involvement in their own care as a patient
safety strategy
• Define and communicate the means for patients and their families to report concerns about safety and encourage them to do so.
• Provide patients and families with information regarding infection control practices
• Describe to patients the methods used to prevent adverse events in surgery (Universal Protocol)
• Encourage patients to report concerns
NPSG – The organization identifies safety risks inherent in its patient population
• The organization identifies patients at risk for suicide and addressed the patient’s immediate safety needs and most appropriate setting for treatment
• The organization provides information such as a crisis hotline to individuals and their family members for crisis situations.
NPSG – Improve recognition and response
to changes in a patient’s condition
• The organization selects a suitable method that enables healthcare staff members to directly request additional assistance from a specially trained individual(s) when the patient’s condition appears to be worsening.
• The organization empowers staff, patients, and/or families to request additional assistance when they have a concern about the patient’s condition.
• Hospitals developed the Rapid Response Team (RRT) to attend to patients with a change in condition.
Universal Protocol to Prevent Wrong Site, Wrong Procedure, Wrong Person Surgery
• Pre-operative verification – active patient identification with 2 identifiers and source document
• Utilize the pre-operative checklist• The person performing the procedure should mark the
operative site for procedures involving right/left distinction, multiple structures (fingers/toes/lesions), or multiple levels (spinal surgery)
• Conduct a ‘Time Out’ immediately before starting the procedure – active communication among all team members to verify patient, procedure, implant and site.
Environment of Care
• The environment of care refers to key elements and issues that are significant in how the hospital operates related to patients, families, visitors and employees.
• Hospitals have a Safety Management Plan that addresses all Joint Commission, OSHA and NYS Department of Health requirements.
• The objective is to free of hazards and work performed in a safe manner with the have a physical environment reduced risk of injuries and hazards. This is accomplished through the EOC Committee whose purpose is to identify and reduce safety risks at each hospital.
Seven Areas of Environment of Care
Safety Management Security Management Hazardous Material and Waste Management Emergency Management Fire Prevention Management Medical Equipment Management Utilities Management
Safety
• Preventing Injuries is the focus of all Hospital Safety plans.
• If you are injured while in clinical , you should: • Notify both your faculty member and manager of unit.
Report to Employee Health Services (EHS) if the injury is not serious and it is during the week.
• If the injury is serious, report to the Emergency Department after informing your faculty member.
• You must complete an Incident Report form and any additional paperwork required by your school and return it to EHS.
• If the injury or accident involves a patient or visitor:• You must document the incident on a incident report and
the patient’s Medical Doctor should be notified.
Environmental Security
• The Security Program addresses security issues related to staff, patients and visitors on the grounds of the specific hospital. As students you are visitors to the facility and must adhere to all rules and regulations.
• To minimize security risks: • All students and faculty are required to wear ID Badges
at all times and the ID badge must be visible. • Please bring minimal personal belongings to the units
and leave valuables at home or locked in your car. • The Hospital Security staff is visible on the grounds and
conduct routine patrols.
Emergency Codes• Each hospital has different Emergency Codes• Your faculty member will review the following:• Medical Emergency• Fire Drill• REAL Fire • Bomb Threat • Abduction of a child • Decon Hazmat Team (Bioterrorism)• SECURITY EMERGENCIES• Internal/External Disasters
Class of Fires
• Class of Fires: A- B-C
• Class A: Fires are ordinary combustibles (wood, paper, plastic and rubber)
• Class B: Fires are flammable liquids/chemicals (grease, oil and petroleum)
• Class C: Fires are electrical fires (TV, VCR, computers, etc.)
