5 Background: Disparities, LEP and Patient Safety Approximately 24 million (8.5% of the U.S. population) are defined as having Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Adverse events affect LEP patients more frequently and severely than they affect English speaking patients LEP patients more likely to experience medical errors due to communication problems than English speaking LEP patients more likely to suffer from physical harm when errors occur Project Overview Goal: Develop, test, and implement two new tools to reduce patient harm due to language barriers and cross-cultural care communication problems Hospital Guide on preventing, identifying, and reporting medical errors due to language barriers and cross-cultural communication problems A new training module, focused on team behaviors to improve safety in LEP and culturally diverse patient populations Funded by the Agency for HealthCare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and conducted by Abt Associates, Inc. and the Disparities Solutions Center at Massachusetts General Hospital 5

7 Adverse Events Database From , 840 events in LEP patients (of 16,708 total) LEP patients more likely to have adverse events attributable to medication errors (57% vs 50%) and procedure consent errors (.12% vs.07%) compared to English speaking patients* ercent pe Adverse Events Attributable to Medication Errors in English Speaking and LEP Patients 58% 56% 54% 52% 50% 48% 46% English speaking Limited English proficiency rcent per Adverse Events Attributable to Procedure Consent Errors in English Speaking and LEP Patients 0.15% 0.10% 0.05% 0.00% English speaking Limited English proficiency Betancourt JR, Renfrew MR, Green AR, et al. Improving patient safety systems for patients with limited English proficiency: a guide for hospitals. (Prepared by the Disparities Solutions Center, Mongan Institute for Health Policy at Massachusetts General Hospital and Abt Associates, Cambridge, MA, under Contract No. HHSA I). Rockville, MD: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; July AHRQ Publication No September MGH Interpreter Pilot Project Overview of Key Themes Misuse of interpreter services No interpreter present, use of family members, providers using poor language skills) Miscommunication between patients and providers Poor communication skills, not listening to patients complaints, lack communication between patient and broader care team Cultural issues Inappropriate questions posed to patients (e.g. religion); Providers lack of understanding Professionalism Rudeness to interpreters and not respecting or understanding their role Informed Consent Consent signed without interpreter present 7
8 Broad Key Themes Interviews & Town Hall Meeting: Current Hospital Strategies/Efforts to Address Linguistic and Cultural Sources of Error Language data collection not systematic or routine across hospitals Safety reporting systems often do not include fields to identify language or interpreter as playing a role precludes stratification of errors and impedes root cause analyses Hospitals do not routinely monitor medical errors for LEP and rarely generate reports for high risk scenarios Challenges with data collection (merging of databases not designed for this purpose) Broad Key Themes Interviews & Town Hall Meeting: Common Causes of Medical Errors for LEP Use of non-qualified interpreters Use of family members/friends or house staff Provider use of basic language skills to get by Cultural beliefs/values impacting patient care 8
9 Broad Key Themes Interviews & Town Hall Meeting: High Risk Scenarios Medication Reconciliation Informed Consent Processes Patient Discharge Emergency Department Visits Pre, Peri and Post-Operative Care Hospital Guide Educate leaders with background and evidence on medical errors that occur due to LEP Present strategies and training tools to create systems and an organizational culture to better identify, report and prevent medical errors that occur due to LEP in a variety of hospital settings Provide a set of practical case examples that solidify learning Provide resources which can be useful in developing an LEP patient error reporting and response system 9

11 Health Care and Teamwork Communication failures account for the overwhelming majority of adverse events Medical care is complex and human performance has inherent limitations Effective teamwork can prevent mistakes Embedding evidence-based training and team behaviors can enhance safety Team training has a positive impact on work force retention Mod Page 21 AHRQ/DoD Partnership Activities began in 2002 Expert Panel Comprehensive literature review and case study analysis Clinical measures of teamwork Medical Team Training Curriculum Edited Handbook National Implementation Principles and Guidelines Tools for Training and Measurement Evidence- Based Methods Mod Page 22 11
