Act revise and standardize the changes Incrprating Staff Recmmendatins Staff views and recmmendatins are sught thrugh staff surveys, staff meetings, and with leaders thrugh nminal grup studies. Multidisciplinary teams cnsisting f frnt line staff cnduct prcess imprvement activity. Brainstrming is used t clarify the current prcess and select the prcess(es) t imprve. The teams priritize the prcesses t imprve and develp the actin plan. Changes are made t the imprvement plan based upn the findings, grup discussin and suggestins frm the Perfrmance Imprvement Team. Educatin and Training T facilitate the develpment f peratinal expertise, cmmunicatin skills, knwledge and cmpetency related t Prcess Imprvement fundamentals and safety; educatin and training prgrams are made available and prvided in the frm f: 7
8 rientatin prgrams fr new staff perfrmance imprvement educatin prgrams and wrkshps fcus prgrams fr managers and leaders Imprving Upn Perfrmance Imprvement As a result f the assessment prcess assciated with the review f indicatr data, evaluatins can be made regarding current levels f perfrmance and whether specific imprvement pprtunities exist which shuld be designated as pririties. The type and cause f variatin are presented by using statistical tls and methd in the reprting frmat. Intense analysis f the data by drilling dwn t arrive at the rt cause f variatins is used t identify changes that need t be implemented. Perfrmance Imprvement Pririties Perfrmance imprvement pririties are determined annually. Pririty cnsideratin is given t: The visin, key strategic planning initiatives Key stakehlder feedback High vlume activities High risk activities r prcesses which place patients at risk if nt perfrmed well, if perfrmed when nt indicated r if nt perfrmed when indicated Prblem prne activities High cst activities Sentinel/near miss events r sentinel event alerts System initiatives High rganizatinal impact Critical steps in a least ne high-risk prcess will be measured and analyzed n an nging basis Patient Safety issues Natinal Patient Safety Gals Because UPMC St. Margaret and UPMC St. Margaret Harmar Outpatient Center are sensitive t the ever changing needs f the rganizatin, pririties may be changed r re-priritized due t: Identified needs frm data cllectin and analysis Unanticipated adverse ccurrences affecting patients Changing regulatry requirements Significant needs f patients and/r staff Prcesses identified as errr prne r high risk regarding patient safety Criteria t institute a practive risk assessment (i.e., sentinel alerts, infrmatin in prfessinal jurnals) Changes in the envirnment f care Changes in the cmmunity Sustaining Imprvement Once perfrmance imprvement pririties are identified, apprpriate resurces and changes needed in a prcess are implemented either n a pilt basis r acrss the rganizatin. Perfrmance measures are then selected t determine the effectiveness f the change and whether the imprved results are sustained. 12. DESIGNING NEW AND MODIFIED PROCESSES/FUNCTIONS/SERVICES UPMC St. Margaret and UPMC St. Margaret Harmar Outpatient Center design and mdify prcesses, functins, and services with quality and safety in mind. When designing r mdifying a new prcess the fllwing steps are taken: An expert within the rganizatin is assigned the respnsibility f develping the new prcess. Key individuals, wh will wn the prcess when it is cmpleted, are assigned t a design team led by the expert. The design team develps r mdifies the prcess utilizing infrmatin frm the fllwing cncepts: It is cnsistent with ur missin, visin, values, gals, bjectives and strategic plans 8
9 It meets the needs f individuals served, staff and thers It is clinically sund and current It is cnsistent with sund business practices It incrprates available infrmatin frm within the rganizatin and frm ther rganizatins abut ptential risks t patients, including the ccurrence f sentinel events, in rder t minimize risks t patients affected by the new r redesigned prcess, functin r service It includes analysis and/r pilt testing t determine whether the prpsed design/redesign is an imprvement It incrprates the results f perfrmance imprvement activities It incrprates the cnsideratin f patient safety issues Perfrmance expectatins are established, measured, and mnitred. These measures may be develped internally r may be selected frm an external system r surce. The measures are selected utilizing the fllwing criteria: They can identify the events it was intended t identify They have a dcumented numeratr and denminatr r descriptin f the ppulatin t which it is applicable They have defined data elements and allwable values They can detect changes in perfrmance ver time They allw fr cmparisn ver time within the rganizatin and between ther entities The data t be cllected is available Results can be reprted in a way this is useful t the rganizatin and ther interested stakehlders 13. PROACTIVE RISK ASSESSMENTS At least ne high-risk prcess will be selected fr risk assessment and hazard analysis. Selectin will in part be based n infrmatin published by The Jint Cmmissin that identifies the mst frequently ccurring types f sentinel event: The prcess is assessed t identify steps that may cause undesirable variatins, r failure mdes Fr each identified failure mde, the pssible effects, including the seriusness f the effects n the patient are identified Ptential risk pints in the prcess will be clsely analyzed including decisin pints and patient s mving frm ne level f care t anther thrugh the cntinuum f care Fr the effects n the patient that are determined t be critical, a rt cause analysis is cnducted t determine why the effect may ccur The prcess will then be redesigned t reduce the risk f these failure mdes ccurring r t prtect the patient frm the effects f the failure mdes The redesigned prcess will be tested and then implemented. Perfrmance measures will be develped t measure the effectiveness f the new prcess Strategies fr maintaining the effectiveness f the redesigned prcess ver time will be implemented Risk assessments are cnducted t practively evaluate the impact f buildings, grunds, equipment, ccupants, and internal physical systems n patient and public safety. Onging hazard surveillance runds including Safety Surveillance Runds, Security Runds, and departmental mnitring are cnducted t prvide a cmprehensive nging surveillance prgram. The Safety Officer and Envirnmental Safety Cmmittee review trends and incidents related t the Safety Management Plan. The Envirnmental Safety Cmmittee prvides guidance t all departments regarding safety issues. These trends and incidents are identified frm incident reprt frms, Safety Surveillance Runds, Security Runds, and department questins. 14.
