Agenda

SSM Health Care and MBNQA

Patient safety improvement

SSM Health Care (SSMHC)

Large Catholic health care system - St. Louis21 Hospitals, 3 nursing homes, home health care 4 Midwestern states5000 Physicians23,000 Employees$2 Billion revenue / year

1990 - CQI model adopted

1995 – MBNQA criteria added

1999 – MBNQA applications

The MBNQA Effort

Strong, committed leadershipMission centeredPerseveranceAttention to MBNQA feedback Conviction that the pursuit made us better

The Precursors of The MBNQA

Through our exceptional health care services,we reveal the healing presence of God

SSMHC’s Mission

Attend to our missionHave goals consistent with our missionHave mature improvement processesImplement effective system improvement initiativesUse comparisons to “best in class”

Achieving Exceptional Safety in Health Care (AES)

Jan., 2002 .........Goal for the collaborativeTo have each entity adopt and implement 16 + recommended safety practices 3 year collaborative with 22 entities enrolled

16 + Recommended Practices1. Implement a near miss reporting system2. Eliminate dangerous abbreviations3. Design and implement an accurate patient medication list at

admission and discharge and avoid "home" medication and blanket orders

4. Implement an effective disclosure of unanticipated outcomes process

5. Provide and use protocols for high risk medications6. Implement a fall reduction process7. Implement a sentinel event review process8. Establish an entity Safety Center Team

16 + Recommended Practices9. Provide pharmacy rounding in ICU's10. Implement all recommended safety information technology

advances11. Implement 24 hour pharmacy coverage12. Provide a quarterly "state of safety report"13. Develop a protocol for proper timing of surgical antibiotic

prophylaxis14. Institute a needleless IV system15. Implement a protocol for glucose management of diabetic

patients undergoing surgery16. Implement a surgical site marking procedure to avoid

wrong limb surgery17. Effectively implement all JCAHO National Patient Safety

Goals18. Improve hand washing

SSMHC Use of blanket orders

Near Miss Reporting and Safety Process Changes

Stimulate near miss reportingDemonstrate safety process changesMagnify benefits by collaborative sharing

Achieving Exceptional Safety in Health Care (AES)

Near Miss Safety Process Changes

Pharmacy staff re-educated on placement of narcotics in Pyxis

Enforced the transfer checklist that includes the process of discarding old labels on 3ICU

Near miss involving two look alike injectables being next to each other in Pyxis led to moving one of the meds to a different drawer

Separated out the different types of insulin in Pyxis, into different bins so staff are sure to pull the right type of insulin

Reviewing process use to document patient weights; changes recommended are to remove “lbs” and use “kg” on all forms andcomputer systems.

Achieving Exceptional Safety in Health Care (AES)

Near Miss Safety Process ChangesLiquid theophylline is available in pharmacy, as only thenonalcoholic type, to prevent the alcohol type being given toinfants/pediatric patients

Orange stripe on NG tube to avoid confusion w/ IV lines

Better identification of patients in “A” bed and “B” bed

Noted confusion re: acute coronary syndrome orders andthrombolytic orders, so revision of orders and education of staff was done

Stopped the practice of staff being able to override the lockout mode on PCA pumps.
