9 Today s Agenda 9 Introductions Debrief: Action Period Assignment Promoting a Culture for Optimal Antibiotic Use Action Period Assignment

10 Expedition Objectives 10 At the end of this Expedition, participants will be able to: Describe the impact of overuse and misuse of antibiotics on costs of care, antimicrobial resistance and patient complications, including Clostridium difficile. Establish a multidisciplinary focus to embed antibiotic stewardship into the process of care. Identify and begin improving at least one key process to optimize antibiotic selection, dose, and duration of antibiotics in the patient care setting.

11 Schedule of Calls 11 Session 1 Making the Case for Antibiotic Stewardship Date: Thursday, March 20 th 2:30 PM 4:00 PM ET Session 2 Promoting a Culture for Optimal Antibiotic Use Date: Thursday, April 3, 3:00 4:00 PM ET Session 3 Our Learning Journey: IHI & CDC Partnership Date: Thursday, April 17, 3:00 4:00 PM ET Session 4 Embedding Stewardship Processes into Care Delivery Date: Thursday, May 1, 3:00 4:00 PM ET Session 5 Focus on: 72 Hour Antibiotic Time-out Date: Thursday, May 15, 3:00 4:00 PM ET Session 6 What Are We Testing & Learning?

Identify one specific intervention to focus on during the expedition Identify a group of people/providers that you re not currently engaging with that you will create a partnership with to support stewardship

14 Core Elements for Antibiotic Stewardship Programs Leadership commitment from administration Single leader responsible for outcomes Single pharmacy leader Specific improvement interventions Antibiotic use tracking Regular reporting on antibiotic use and resistance Educating providers on use and resistance

15 Action Period Assignment 15 One specific intervention you plan to focus on during the expedition related to one of the Core Elements - Use the Chat Box to share - If you re connected by phone, raise your hand to discuss

16 Action Period Assignment 16 Identify the group of people/providers that you re not currently engaging with that you plan to create a partnership with to support stewardship - Use the Chat Box to share: who? what unit? what discipline?

19 Learning Points Engaging physicians Making teams work Moving ideas into practice

20 Antibiotic Stewardship Strategic efforts to optimize antibiotic prescribing Multidisciplinary Organizational approach Facility-specific

21 Core Elements of Hospital Antibiotic Stewardship Programs Leadership Commitment Accountability Drug Expertise Action Tracking Reporting Education

22 Core Elements of Hospital Antibiotic Stewardship Programs Leadership Commitment Accountability Drug Expertise Action Tracking Reporting Education

23 Antibiotic Stewardship Leadership The art of getting someone to do something because he or she wants to do it Culture A set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterize an organization

24 ENGAGING PHYSICIANS

25 Engaging Clinicians 2007 IHI White Paper Framework for physician involvement in quality improvement

26 Discover Common Purpose Improve patient outcomes through reduced C. difficile infections Adverse effects related to antibiotics Antibiotic resistance leads to higher mortality

27 Reframe Values and Beliefs Promote both system and individual responsibility for quality improvement System Prescribing is an act within a system Successful approaches reach beyond the prescriber Individuals The responsibility to optimize antibiotic use relies on individuals

28 Segment the Engagement Plan Use the 20/80 rule Identify and activate champions Educate and inform structural leaders

29 Ways to Improve Engagement Standardize what is standardizable Generate light, not heat, with data Make the right thing easy to try, and Easy to do

30 Adopt an Engaging Style Involve physicians from the beginning Make physician involvement visible Communicate candidly, often

31 MAKING TEAMS WORK

32 Antimicrobial Stewardship Multidisciplinary Team Infection Preventionists Risk assessment and prevention planning skills Collect, analyze and report antibiotic-related data Laboratory Input into specimen collection and proper use of relevant tests Review information flow of results to clinicians Create and interpret a facility antibiotic resistance report Nursing Review medications as part of their routine duties Could contribute through prompting discussions of antibiotic treatment, indication, and duration Information Technology (IT) Create ways integrate guidelines and policies with decision support at point of care Track antibiotic use through medication administration records

33 Making Teams Works Clear, common vision Stewardship and improve use are ambiguous Need to identify specific, measurable goals Clarify member skills and responsibilities What value does each member bring? What role can their discipline have in improving practice?

34 Growing a Team Willingness to explore ideas Use disagreement constructively Share success, learn from failure Accomplishments reinforce efforts Problem-solving builds purpose

35 MOVING IDEAS INTO PRACTICE

36 Diffusion of Innovations Theory Everett Rogers rural sociologist (1962) Factors that impact spread of new ideas and changes in practice Four elements Idea (Innovation) Process of adopting the idea Time Social system

37 Diffusion of Innovations Five stages of adoption of a new idea or practice Factors influencing adoption Knowledge Persuasion Decision Implementation Confirmation Fit with existing values and practice Simplicity Ease of use Ability to try and experiment Visible results Rogers E. (1962, 1983) Diffusion of Innovations. NY: Free Press

38 Categories of Adopters Innovators Diffusion of Innovations Early adopters Early majority Late majority Laggards Rogers E. (1962, 1983) Diffusion of Innovations. NY: Free Press. Graphic: Wikipedia

39 Diffusion of Innovations Applied to Antibiotic Stewardship Knowledge through education Persuasion through antimicrobial policies Decision and implementation of ideas by choosing activities based on factors that influence adoption Confirmation through tracking and reporting Support dissemination of successful practices Moving from early adopters to early then late majority Highlighted words are core elements of stewardship program

40 Core Elements of Hospital Antibiotic Stewardship Programs Leadership Commitment Accountability Drug Expertise Action Tracking Reporting Education

41 Summary Successful antibiotic stewardship programs depend on leadership and culture Key factors that promote a culture of optimal antibiotic use are: Engaging physicians Energizing a team Understanding factors that influence the adoption of new practices
