1 The HHS Afghan experience with EmONC implementation science Wednesday, January 20, 2011 WHO- CARE Meeting Brian J. McCarthy, MD, MSc

2 Take home messages Two Questions you have to answer Have we chosen the right things to do? Are we doing those things right? The unit of operation is the chain Process for improving the quality of life & care Quality is a local product, everyone s responsibility, and is job #1 Get the count right.or at least close

3 The creation of the MIM Storyboard Management Future Plans Problem Definition Surveillance Performance Assessment + Standardization Monitoring & Evaluation Intervention Are we doing the right things? Are we doing things right? = The MIM Storyboard

4 The EmONC Chain Developing critical Public Health & clinical systems to make the chain safe At the community level, everyone counts!...so account for mother and newborn Labor Deliver y Recove ry OR Community Surveillance CARE OMID CBE Midwifery Maternity Care Center 3 Centering Pregnancy Groups (CPG) CPG CPG CPG CPG 1 CHC CHC+ 2 ER room District Hospital X OPD Recor d Newbor n RBH focus on EmOC a critical link for chain integrity; clinical care improvements are based on QA principles and techniques consistent with PH functions and services. 4 Postpartum Child The AHI PH Strategy supports development of MoPH capacity in MCH surveillance, performance assessment analysis, intervention. monitoring and evaluation. 5 RBH The chain is as strong as its weakest link

5 What are we going to do?

11 Assessing performance of one node in the chain

12 What is a POA? (Patient Outcome assessment) The POA is an adaptation of the CDC Patient Flow Analysis (PFA). Nine (9) facility observational posts are manned continuously 24/7 to collect data on all pregnant patients admitted to the hospital over a 28 day period. The purpose of the POA is to collect data on patient flow, clinical practices in the monitoring of labour, delivery, caesarean sections, post partum and neonatal care, in order to provide up-dated information to MOPH/RBH for decision making for improving the care of mothers and babies

13 POA III at RBH Outcome results for 28 POA III days 1244 women delivered 1273 newborns (25 twins, 2 triplet) 2 maternal deaths 77 total perinatal deaths 58 deaths in newborns 2500+g Perinatal Mortality Rate (PMR) Total (68.3/1000), real (~110/1000) (26.5/1000) Very high risk population 16.3% LBWR C-section rate 6.6% Vaginal delivery = 20.6/1000 C-section PMR = 75/1000 Multiple gestations 17% of all perinatal mortality Labor room 43% no BP or FHR monitored 63.8% no BP 56.2 no FHR Average patient to MW ratio is 10:1 Can be as high as 22:1 Delivery room 78.4 no BP or FHR monitored 85.8 no BP 89.8 no FHR Average patient to MW ratio is 8:1 Can be as high as 18:1 High risk births identified in the OPD Appropriate monitoring (PMR = 31/1000) Inappropriate monitoring (PMR = 120/1000) 55% of high risk delivered by Midwives C-section Decision to Incision (DI) time 12% in < 30 minutes 26% > 2 hours When decision made in the OPD, no DI < 1 hr

14 POA III (October, 2008) vs POA IV (February, 2010) 28% reduction in MMR associated with EmOC system Reversal of General Anesthesia to spinal anesthesia (95% to 5%, then 5% to 95%) DIT less than 30 min from 12% to 23% No change in the rates of monitoring in Labor and delivery room No reduction in BWSMR

15 The Chain takeaway messages The Chain is essential for achieving the maternal and newborn goals of MDG 4 & 5 Success is about planning, implementing, and evaluating the chain using the MIM Storyboard. The Chain is a system solution that is best described by 5 Rights, x 2, plus 1 Is best developed as a whole, and NOT in segments develop the infrastructure of the chain for coverage, matching skill with need, defining the referral pattern, altering risk factors through prevention. The Chain must be ethically guided No surveillance without service, no service without surveillance Do no harm Promote ethical equivalency in patient care along the Chain The Chain must: Get the count right...account for every mother and child Match skill with need Eliminate the 4 delays through its referral pattern Alter risk factors...have a prevention focus BE SAFE! Avoid outcome displacement Account for all mothers and newborns Link outcome indicators with process indicators. Assure & Assess EmOC package safety... Quality Improvement Process (QIP) helps assure the package is life saving, rather than life threatening. Safely, within 30, 24/7. The Chain s quality is a local product, is everyone s responsibility, and is job 1! Process for establishing a quality culture in the chain Process for developing the Local Indicator Matrix (LIM) LIM Scaled up using the IHI model for quality improvement collaborative (QIC) Quality services will require data being translated into information for local action at service faculties by empowered local staff.
