1 Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare Patient Safety Plan Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare s (MAHC) three year patient safety plan is designed to support and promote the mission, vision, and values of its organization, with a special focus on the delivery of safe care and continuous improvement for all patients. This plan defines MAHC s safety priorities as well as the organizational infrastructure to support the delivery of safe quality care, including the mechanisms to respond to patient safety concerns and make system wide improvements. The patient safety plan supports MAHC s: mission of providing outstanding care, people focused. vision to provide quality and safety through the provision of outstanding care and service. strategy to commit to patient and provider safety and quality outcomes by focusing on process improvement, technology and the incorporation of evidence based best practices on an ongoing basis. Plan Objectives: The objectives of the plan are to: Encourage and promote a culture of patient safety at all levels across the organization. Promote organizational commitment to and accountability for safety through the selection of priority initiatives that are aligned with the organization s quality and safety goals and objectives and provincial patient safety priorities. Articulate the organization s safety and quality goals and objectives to all staff and physicians. Support the effective disclosure and reporting of events/incidents to help create a culture of openness and improvement. Encourage the ongoing monitoring of risks within the organization. Engage patients and their families in understanding their role in promoting patient safety. MAHC participates in the three year cycle of accreditation through Accreditation Canada. This plan will address and identify strategies for MAHC to meet and exceed Accreditation Canada s required organizational practices and patient safety goals.
2 Scope: The Scope refers to the types of incidents that will be addressed by the organization s plan. At MAHC, the patient safety plan will address the following types of events/incidents (as per Safety Incident Reporting policy ADM V 03 v.0): Occurrence: as defined by JCAHO is an unexpected occurrence involving the death or serious physical or psychological injury or risk thereof (near miss). This would include any event that is not consistent with the normal or usual operation of the hospital. Note: Injury does NOT have to have occurred. The potential for injury and/or property damage (financial loss) is sufficient for an occurrence to be considered an incident. Critical/Sentinel Event: Identifies a rare, adverse or potentially avoidable occurrence that has the potential to result in: Significant threat to patients, residents, employees, volunteers or visitors Imminent litigation Significant financial loss Significant damage to the reputation. Patient Safety Events (as defined in Safety Incident Reporting policy) Minor event: an event involving no harm or very minimal temporary harm to the patient Moderate event: an event that causes discomfort sufficient to interfere with usual activity and requires additional specific therapeutic intervention, but poses no significant or permanent risk of harm to the patient Major Near Miss: an event that would have resulted in death or serious physical or psychological injury but did not because it was caught or because of good luck. Major event: an event involving death or serious physical or psychological injury. These events should not be considered stuff that just happens. Nor should they be considered inevitable. Investigation, Analysis and Reduction of Risks All serious occurrences/incidents that have safety or major risk concerns or which result or could result in injury/illness must be documented and reported on the patient/visitor safety incident/near miss form. Safety reporting is the responsibility of all staff and medical personnel and provides an opportunity to identify and trend events as well as track their follow up. Knowledge generated from the reporting and review process provides MAHC with the opportunity to make system wide improvements. MAHC Senior Leadership must continue to support a culture of patient safety and encourage the reporting and full disclosure of patient safety incidents/events as well as support improvement strategies to prevent recurrence.
3 In accordance with the incident reporting policy, once an incident report has been completed, Administration will be responsible for creating a consolidated report of the types of incidents on a monthly basis, which in turn is reported to the Quality Council and Quality Committee. Information from the incident reports are analyzed and integrated into the hospital s performance monitoring tool, Quality Matters Balanced Scorecard. Moderate and Major Incidents are reviewed by the Quality committee and recommendations are made to improve practices to prevent similar incidents and communication of the recommendations to frontline staff will occur. Effective Oct st, 20 MAHC will start reporting all critical incidents related to medication/iv fluid that occur to the Canadian Institute for Health Informations(CIHI)National system for Incident Reporting(NSIR). MAHC will have thirty (30) days to initiate the report after disclosing the critical incident to the MAC, an administrator and/or a patient. The initial report requires only minimal information; additional details can be added over the next 30 days. Plan Structure (Roles and Responsibilities): It is generally understood that in a culture that supports and encourages safety, there is shared ownership for patient safety. However, for ongoing sustainability and improvement, best practice suggests that overall accountability and leadership for the achievement of patient safety goals be maintained at the Board and Senior Management levels. Management & Oversight The Chief Executive Officer will provide general oversight of the effectiveness of the patient safety plan. The MAHC Quality Council is responsible for providing monthly reports on the achievement of performance measures or targets, as defined in the patient safety plan, to the Board Quality Committee. The Quality Council will also be responsible for monitoring progress, measures, and risks and identifying additional priority areas. All incidents discussed at Quality Council are protected, as quality of care reviews, under FIPPA(Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act), 202. The Quality Committee of the Board of Directors, as defined through its Terms of Reference, is accountable for the quality and safety of patient care and service delivery. The Quality Committee, as per the Excellent Care for All Act will also be responsible for: Monitoring and reporting to the Board on quality issues and on the overall quality of services provided in the health care organization, with reference to appropriate data. Consider and make recommendations to the Board regarding quality improvement initiatives and policies.
4 Ensure that best practice information, supported by available scientific evidence, is translated into materials that are distributed to employees and persons providing services within the health care organization, and to subsequently monitor the use of these materials by these people. Oversee the preparation of and approve the annual quality improvement plans The Quality Council, as defined through its Terms of Reference, will: ) Provide leadership in identifying opportunities for improving quality of care 2) To promote the MAHC mission and strategic plan s goals and objectives in each of the hospital sites of MAHC and the CCAC 3) To gather, monitor and evaluate clinical quality indicator data 4) To gather, monitor and evaluate sentinel event reporting and track changes to systems and process to reduce the possibility of future occurrences 5) To initiate, monitor and evaluate cross functional CQI activities 6) Conduct risk assessments to identify potential risks and ways to eliminate them 7) To provide education to staff, physicians and volunteers to minimize and eliminate risk exposure 8) To carry on activities for the purpose of studying, assessing or evaluating the provision of health care with a view to improving or maintaining the quality of health care, or the level of skill, knowledge and competence of the persons who provide health care.
