1 Barbara Quinn, RN, ANCS-BC Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento, CA Are You Addressing the New #1 Patient Harm in Your Hospital? Pneumonia NOT Related to a Ventilator The story of May and how we began this journey May is a 57 year old grandmother who develops nonventilator hospital acquired pneumonia (NV-HAP) Why does this keep happening? Em m awinnhealthy Elderly s.surrey.ac.u k/nu tri tio na nd b one /swiss. htm l 2 We were familiar with VAP but was NVHAP flying under the radar? How much non-v entilator pneumonia was occurring in the hospital? Was it happening in other hospitals? Could it be prev ented? If so, how? 1

2 Incidence of NV-HAP: Three hospital sy stems study (2012 used 2010 data) similar results from Kaiser and the VA Sutter Medical Center (2010 data): 24,482 patients; 94,247 patient days 1.25/1000 pt days & 0.49/100 pts 115 NV-HAP Most on Med/Surg Units Total estimated annual impact: $4.6 million 23 deaths 1035 days Quinn, B., Baker, D., et. al. (2014). Basic nursing care to prevent nonventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia. Journal of Nursing Scholarship. 4 Summary of Recent Literature NVHAP is a National Problem Incidence: 2/100 admitted patients HAP Top HAI in U.S. (60% NVHAP) Mortality: 14 to 30% Length of Stay: 4-16 days Cost: 28K 40K Readmission: 20% Sepsis: 40-50% The Next Frontier 9(3). Davis & Finely (2012). Penn Pt Safety Authority, Giuliano, et al. (2016) AORN Poster 2016 Magill, et.al. (2014) NEJM. 370(13), p Micek, et. al. (2016). CHEST, 150(5), See, et. al. (2016). ICHE, 37, doi: /ice U.S. hospitals 1300 NV-HAP Cases IMPACT HAPPI-2 Preliminary Analysis Same mortality, LOS, Readmission data In addition: 60% occurred on Med/Surg units 26% transferred to ICU 34% admitted from home were discharged to a higher level of care Quinn & Baker, Publication Pending

3 In Addition HAIs New on Top 10 Public Health Concerns in U.S. NVHAP: The New Frontier CDC (2015 Prevention Status Report Klompas (July 2016) HCHE By reducing NV-HAP we address quality goals of every healthcare organization: Mortality Length of stay 30 day Readmission Af fordability Sepsis ICU utilization Long term morbidity How can we prevent pneumonia? P9 3

4 Germs Reduce harmful pathogens with: Comprehensive oral care Aspiration Reduce aspiration with: Swallow assessments Head of bed elevated Oral/ Nasal gastric Tube Care Host Increase host resistance with: Early mobility *Keep patients warm during surgery Pulmonary toilet *Glucose control Limit use of acid suppressive meds Quinn & Baker. (2014). J Nsg Scholarship, 46(1), Prevent Hospital Acquired Pneumonia 11 Most Pneumonia Starts in the Mouth Microbiome of Oral Cavity 200 billion oral microbes species 48 hours for HAP pathogens in mouth o If aspirated =100,000,000 bacteria/ml saliva into lungs / Loesche, W. 2012/ Sacnnapieco et al. (1992).CritCareMed, 20:

5 Microaspiration At least 50% of healthy adults micro aspirate Elev ating the head of the bed does not prev ent all aspiration or micro aspirations Gleeson K, et al. (1997) Microaspiration during sleep in healthy subjects. Chest. 111: Photo from : -of-the-human-body-respiratory-system-pictures-2/picture-of-the-human-body -respiratory -system -pictures -2/ Who is at most risk? Who is not at risk? 14 Who is at-risk? ALL patients in the hospital therefore a standard of care is required Scatter plot example 15 5

6 Why Oral Care as Primary Intervention? Systematic Rev iew & Meta Analysis 5 RCTs: Oral care to prev ent NV-HAP Risk Reduction for NVHAP (P=.02) RR for fatal NV-HAP (P=.002) Kaneoka (2015) ICHE Prev of HCAP w oral care Underused care associated with the development of pneumonia* Missed Achieved ELEVATED HOB 34% 66% MOBILITY 59% 41% ORAL CARE 73% 27% IS/C&DB 84% 16% Coker et al. (2016). Obs oral hygiene provided by nurses elder adults. Geriatric Nsg, dx.doi.org/ /j.g erin urs e ) *Kalisch, B. (2013). Am J Med Qual. Missed nursing care leads to poor pt outcomes. *Data from Sutter H APPI 1 study 17 What have we learned? Pneumonia - occurring in nonventilated patients in All types of hospital systems Patients are at risk on ALL types of hospital units Costing significant number of liv es and dollars Opportunities for prevention are unused Prev entive care not completed 18 6

7 I don t mind change; I just don t like to be changed Recommendations to Address NV-HAP & Post op pneumonia at your facility: Use a scientific model to change behavior Measure baseline NV-HAP Gather an interdisciplinary team Select Interventions based on Gap Analysis findings & EBP Recommendations to Address NV-HAP & Post op pneumonia at your facility: Focus on one intervention at a time, beginning with the most modifiable risk factors Monitor process and outcome measures; calculate ROI Provide feedback to staff and leadership Celebrate and share your successes 7

Between May 2012 and December 2014 we avoided 164 cases of NV-HAP 31 lives saved $5.9 million not spent extra days in the hospital avoided 8

9 NV-HAP #1 hospitalacquired infection, costing patient lives and dollars NV-HAP can be prev ented and harm to patients reduced Monitoring for NV-HAP and prevention programs must rise to the same level of attention as other HAIs 26 Courage One must always be aware, to notice, even though the cost of noticing is to become responsible.
