5 TeleSitter FMEA 2017 Stacey Cajimat RN Clinical Analyst and Kari Knudsen RN Director of Post-Surgical Care

6 TeleSitter Program

7 Pre FMEA Data Trends Identified 14 events TeleSitter Related Events 10/14/ /06/ Falls with Telesitter Pulled Out Lines Falls-No Telesitter

8 What is an FMEA? Tool used to help with risk prevention Identifies possible risks, ranks them based on occurrence, detection and severity and generates risk priority numbers to help in assessing and preventing risks. Designed to reduce the chances of failure by driving actions for improvements TeleSitter program selected for FMEA to review the new program and related patient care events

9 Pareto Chart 80/20 Rule 80 percent of effects always come from 20 percent of the causes Separate the vital few from the trivial many

10 #1 Highest Risk Priority Area Delay in response to patient with unsafe behavior and/or delay in initiation of telesitter TeleSitter distracted Unable to view patient (curtain pulled) Privacy mode initiated and not resumed TeleSitter order not received

11 Actions for #1 Highest Risk Priority New expectations set for TeleSitters and agreement signed Department relocated to quiet room with less distractions Implemented visual confirmation process of viewing the correct patient TeleSitters perform a quick look to see if privacy mode if on and still needed

12 #2 Highest Risk Priority Area Communication and redirection of patient not working Patient ignores the TeleSitters attempt to redirect them Patient s preferred name not used Patient hard of hearing, confused Patient refuses to listen to TeleSitter s redirection

13 Actions for #2 Highest Risk Priority Preferred name on TeleSitter form, staff confirms form is complete If patient requiring redirection (3 times in 30 minutes) and or use of STAT alert alarm (more than 3 times in 30 minutes) to obtain physical sitter TeleSitter to contact charge nurse and/or house supervisor for physical sitter

14 #3 Highest Risk Priority Area Alerting Staff Unable to hear STAT alarm Staff not near room Other alarms going off at same time Staff busy with other patients

15 Actions for #3 Staff remain in pod close to high risk patients Alarm fatigue continually being improved TeleSitters to contact CNA first if patient not responding to redirection

16 #4 Highest Risk Priority Area Physical Need for Sitter Sitters are limited Staff hesitant to ask for sitter and do not want to pull resources off the floor Physical sitter not placed but continue to have TeleSitter

17 Actions for #4 Use chain of command if physical sitter not available

18 Conclusion FMEA lessons learned shared with TeleSitter staff No events identified since conclusion of FMEA FMEA concluded September 2017 Continue to monitor event data

19 2a. Risk Priority Assessment.xlsx 1 Steps Process Step Failure Mode Cause(s) Failure Effects (All effect have potential harm to patient or removal of medical devices) Occurrence Likelihood (1-10) Detection Likelihood (1-10) Severity (1-10) Risk Priority Number (RPN) Action 10 Patient displaying unsafe behavior Not seen timely. TeleSitter re-directing another patient/distracted Patient not monitored New TeleSitter expectations set & reviewed at staff meeting- March 2017 All TeleSitters signed agreement & understanding of new expectations- March 2017 Department relocation to private area update on Monday 06/5/17. Move planned beginning of August TeleSitter move complete 08/23/ Set-up camera: plug-in, Two patients in the room. position to view patient. If patient is in danger of immediate physical harm, TeleSitter activates STAT alarm (alarm sounds only in the patient's room). Camera placed on privacy mode. Patient displaying unsafe behavior Obtain camera (wall or rolling camera). Total of 22 wall and 7 rolling cameras. Staff unable to hear alarm & does not respond. TeleSitter not notified to turn on camera Patient too quick displaying unsafe behaviors. Staff prefer rolling cameras and may not use wall brackets. TeleSitter does not know which patient to monitor or monitoring the wrong patient. Staff not near room. Other alarms going off. Too noisy to hear. Staff busy/forget No time to respond Staff may say "never mind" to request of TeleSitter if rolling camera not available. Wall bracket cameras set-up process cumbersome. Not monitoring patient Alarm not heard Patient not monitored. Potential harm/fall TeleSitter not placed/delayed Evaluate area on 3W- Who: Chuck- Complete Assess current placement of wall brackets - Who: Chuck- Complete Collaborate with 3W manager regarding need for more wall brackets and/or different placement of current brackets- Who: Susan- Possibility of having brackets placed in more of the single occupancy rooms. Add criterion for admitting to single rooms with existing brackets to include consideration for patients who need TeleSitters. Initiate fail safe process where Q shift staff stand by pt being monitored by TeleSitter (to confirm right pt being monitored and/or which pt in room A & room B)- On hold for now. Possibility of placing lamented signage close to wall bracket which includes which bed is being monitored by tele sitter. In place of having additional brackets installed on 3W and adding signage, the fail safe process will be initiated, when tele sitter is initiated in the double occupancy rooms staff will be asked to stand in the cameras view to identify that the correct patient is being monitored and correct bed (A or B). Susan will educate TeleSitters during staff meeting on 09/19/17 about this new process. Susan educated TeleSitter staff on 09/19/17 at staff meeting regarding the change to have 3W staff stand and wave to the camera when patient is set up with TeleSitter in double rooms. Check if Stat alarm has varying volume settings- Susan- Complete. Only one volume available. Staff sit in PODS close to high risk pts- Ongoing Alarm fatigue committee discuss dynamics of Stat alarms- Ongoing TeleSitters to do quick look after 7 min privacy window exhausted- Already being practiced by some TeleSitters but will be the new expectation. Privacy mode always used when PT working with pt- Susan to discuss with Jag. Susan met with Molly Niederreiter, PT Manager. Molly will educate her staff regarding appropriate use of privacy mode. Stacey will follow up with Molly to verify all staff were educated. Molly educated her staff during May & June 2017 staff meetings. Follow up with Tele sitters to verify that PT staff are using privacy mode appropriately post education. Susan informed Molly after our July 26th meeting that therapy staff continue to use privacy mode despite education. Molly reeducated staff about appropriate use of privacy mode again but the practice continues. Will brainstorm new ideas to determine barriers. PT staff continue to use privacy mode anytime PT works with the pt. Susan will follow up with Molly. Update from 09/19/17 TeleSitter staff meeting, proper use of privacy mode by therapy staff has improved. Care of impulsive patient included in current policy Establish par levels of brackets on all units except 2S & 3S-Kari & Susan. Kari ed all her managers responses pending. Susan to follow up with 4N. BP, 3N, 4S, 2N and 4T have brackets set up in all rooms. Nurse managers to assess need for additional wall brackets- Kari & Susan Occurrence likelihood: 1-10; 10 Very likely to occur.

Request by staff due to providing assisted care (ADL). Patient not monitored. Occurrence Likelihood (1-10) Detection Likelihood (1-10) Severity (1-10) Risk Priority Number (RPN) Action The use of TeleSitter service for pts that are frequently monitored on and off during their hospital stay will be discussed at PCM by Susan on August 3. Susan presented at PCM on August 3rd, no additional follow up necessary. Reinforce the use of the chain of command if patient requiring frequent redirection or use of stat alarm (3x in 30 min) and if issue not addressed contacting Susan directly.- Susan to educate TeleSitters during Sept 19th staff meeting. Susan reinforced use of the chain of command during TeleSitter staff meeting on 09/19/17. Require that the preferred name field on form be completed by staff and if not completed TeleSitters to contact staff for information. Susan to take to PCM on Aug 3rd and educate TeleSitters at staff meeting on Sept 19th. Susan presented to PCM, which has increased completion of the preferred name field and TeleSitters will follow up with staff if incomplete after educated during staff meeting Sept. 19th. Susan informed TeleSitters on 09/19/17 during staff meeting to follow up with staff if preferred name field is incomplete Reinforce the use of the chain of command if patient requiring frequent redirection or use of stat alarm (3x in 30 min) and if issue not addressed contacting Susan directly.- Susan to educate TeleSitters during Sept 19th staff meeting. Susan reinforced use of the chain of command during TeleSitter staff meeting on 09/19/17. CNA will be the first line of contact. Once fax is received the pt is set up by TeleSitters and monitored regardless if staff call or not. Problem is that fax machine does not alert TeleSitters when fax received. Susan will follow up to make sure that fax in new location rings. TeleSitters moved to new location 08/23/17 and fax machine is being made to ring when faxes are received. TeleSitter department location is very quiet and fax machine is heard now Occurrence likelihood: 1-10; 10 Very likely to occur. Detection likelihood: 1-10; 10 = very unlikely to detect. Severity: 1-10; 10 = most severe effect, RPN = product of 3 scores
