3 3 Spotlight: Second Victim Programs and How They Support Employee Health and Wellness

4 Northwell Health s Team Lavender Program Agnes Barden, DNP, RN, CPXP, Vice President, Patient & Customer Experience

5 5 Second Victim Phenomenon & Prevalence Second victims are healthcare providers who are involved in an unanticipated adverse patient event, medical error and/or a patient related injury and become victimized in the sense that the provider is traumatized by the event. It is estimated that approximately half of all healthcare providers will experience its impact at least once during the professional career. Can result in psychological harm and long-term impacts if not addressed

6 6 Connection to Culture of Safety 2000: Publication of Institute of Medicine To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System report. 2004: AHRQ releases Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture 2007: Joint Commission begins requiring hospitals to conduct staff surveys to specific to patient safety in order to assess and advance organizational safety cultures. Patient safety protocols and practices, such as root cause analyses, can have the unintended consequence of causing further distress to second victims if unconnected to support programs.

9 Using Culture of Safety Surveys to Assess Second Victim-related Issues Jared Bosk, Vice President, Survey and Outcomes Research, GNYHA

10 AHRQ Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture - Survey Dimensions Seven unit level safety dimensions Three hospital level safety dimensions Four outcome dimensions Supervisor/Manager Expectations & Actions Promoting Safety (4 items) Organizational Learning Continuous Improvement (3 items) Teamwork Within Units (4 items) Hospital Management Support for Patient Safety (3 items) Teamwork Across Hospital Units (4 items) Hospital Handoffs and Transitions (4 items) Overall Perceptions of Safety (4 items) Frequency of Event Reporting (3 items) Patient Safety Grade (of the Hospital Unit) (1 item) Communication Openness (3 items) Number of Events Reported (1 item) Feedback and Communication About Error (3 items) Nonpunitive Response to Error (3 items) Staffing (4 items)

11 Example Items Frequency of Events Reported When a mistake is made that could harm the patient, but does not, how often is this reported? Overall Perceptions of Safety Our procedures and systems are good at preventing errors from happening. Supervisor/manager expectations & actions promoting safety Whenever pressure builds up, my supervisor/manager wants us to work faster, even if it means taking shortcuts. Feedback and Communication About Error We are informed about errors that happen in this unit.

12 Survey Administration How often should the survey be administered? No specific guidance Best practice is every months Who should take the survey? Staff with direct patient contact Staff without direct patient contact but whose work affects patient care Physicians who spend significant time in the hospital Administration/Management What kinds of questions? 5 point scales Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree Never to Always Positively and negatively worded items How are respondents identified? Survey is anonymous Respondents include information on staff type, work area, and specific unit

13 13 Incorporating Second Victim Questions into Surveys Research Question Over time is there a difference in clinician perceptions related to patient safety among three groups of survey respondents (non-victims, second victims with support, and second victims without support)? Prevalence In the last 12 months, were there any patient safety events that caused you personal problems such as anxiety, depression, or concerns about your ability to do your job? Support If yes: Did you receive support from anyone within the [HOSPITAL/HEALTH SYSTEM]?

14 14 Findings Prevalence Approximately one-fourth (25%) of respondents self-identified as second victims Safety Culture Results Scores among supported second victims are similar to non-victims Unsupported second victims consistently score lower than supported second victims Conclusion Supported second victims help raise the overall patient safety grade within units and facilities that have higher levels of perceived support. Conversely, unsupported second victims can significantly lower the overall patient safety score.

15 15 How to Use Data Incorporate second victim questions into safety culture survey Measure Prevalence of Second Victims and Feelings of Support Stratify results to see what types of staff/areas of the hospital are most affected Measure again after second victim programs have been incorporated to see if feelings of support have changed
