1 Public Health Needs: Quality of Care and Sustainability an International Overview Dr. David Jaimovich President
2 Presentation Outline Present sustainable targeted projects that led to improvement in hospitals with limited financial resources Describe outcomes that: Successfully reduced waste of tangible and human resources Increased patient and personnel satisfaction Improved quality of care and patient safety Review how these strategies can be replicated in any setting
3 How Do We Select Projects? Leadership must be committed What are the needs of the organization? What will provide greatest return on investment? Is project aligned with the strategic plan and vision? Does this project have clear parameters and clearly defined goals? Will there be visible, measurable benefits for the client?
4 How Do We Select Projects? Cont. Targeted projects Realistic challenging but achievable goals Measurable results Start with a project that will be non-controversial and will not eliminate jobs Selection team leading the project Engagement of staff
5 Core Elements Education Team leading project Hospital staff Self-assessment standards Project design using healthcare Six Sigma methodology Measurement tools and tracer methodology Focus on solutions with the most return on investment
6 PDSA Cycle Quality Management System If goal is not reached introduce corrective and preventative actions Act Plan What do we want to do? How to do it? Track the performance of process Complete data analysis Verify correlation plan/results Study/Verify Do Do as planned Implement process and operational standards

10 Chinese Hospital Association (CHA) Two year multi-hospital Quality and Safety Project Tier 3 hospitals selected by the CHA Hospital projects focused on: Medication Management IV Safety Hospital Acquired Infections Expanded to an additional year to include more hospitals
11 Multidisciplinary participation Educational Seminars Opportunity to collaborate applying basic and advanced tools Applied practical real-life examples Interaction amongst represented institutions
12 Solution Oriented Projects Used standardized project documentation and data collection tools: Project form Flow Diagram Process map Gnatt Chart Chronogram Function Deployment Matrix Pareto Chart Cause-Effect Diagram Strategic Plan Indicator Sheet Improvement Plan
13 Project Form Samples
14 Solution Oriented Projects Collected baseline data Used Six Sigma methodology to find defects Finalized and implemented improvement plans Confirm core processes and key customers Define customer needs Baseline measurement phase Analyze and set goals Implement improvements Control April May June July August September October November December Ongoing data collection to measure improvement over time
15 Validation Study Visits to each hospital by expert QRIntl consultants to review and validate data Validation reports were completed for each of the hospitals visited Included action plan report using the self assessment standards Recommendations for improvements based on findings
16 Closing Conference Focused on sustainable strategies for on-going quality and safety improvement Presentations by each hospital on their individual project and outcomes Educational Seminar - Yellow Belt Six Sigma certification training
17 The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step Lao Tzu Examples of Projects
18 Hospital Quality Improvement Project Reduce Hospital-Acquired Infections Improve Hand Hygiene Compliance Among ICU Staff Tianjin Third Central Hospital
19 Baseline Observations and Implemented Measures Developed a hand hygiene questionnaire Learn about hand hygiene conditions Influencing factors (according to questionnaire responses) of hand hygiene practice Unannounced observers collected data on hand washing practices
20 Baseline Observations and Implemented Measures (cont.) Provided feedback for survey respondents implemented solutions as appropriate Example I: Busy work schedule Examined manpower distribution Calculated the time for performing hand hygiene Calculation was based on the total time spent on hand hygiene/day/healthcare personnel: = 2160 seconds = 36 minutes (Each person is in charge of 3 beds and is expected perform an average of 48 hand hygiene procedures, each taking 15 seconds) Demonstrated that caseload should allow for time needed for adherence to hand washing
21 Baseline Observations and Implemented Measures (cont.) Example II: Water temperature is low in winter and hands are cold after hand washing or Frequent hand washing is damaging to the skin Provided the feedback to leadership - water temperature adjusted Added quick-drying, gel or disinfectant for hands with skin lotion added Provided training to share facts and eliminate concerns
22 Implemented Measures Provided education and added hand washing posters Designated personnel from the Department of Infectious Diseases perform monthly unannounced on-site inspections Nursing representatives monitor hand hygiene performance in the video surveillance room (periodically, unannounced) Head nurses report results of unannounced inspections to their staff Results of surveillance and the consumption of hand disinfectants and sanitizers are integrated into the staff performance assessment
23 Comparison of Hand Hygiene Compliance Before and After Intervention Utilized SPSS 11.0 for statistical analysis and compare the data between groups by using χ 2 test. A p<0.05 indicates the difference is statistically significant Group Times hands were washed Times hand were not washed Times hand washing was required Hand hygiene compliance Before intervention % After intervention % The compliance rate after the intervention was higher than before the intervention (p<0.05) Group 7:00 AM - 10:00 PM 10:00 PM - 7:00 AM Times hands were washed Times hand were not washed Times hand washing was required Hand hygiene compliance % % Comparison of Hand Hygiene Compliance Between 7:00 AM - 10:00 PM, the hand hygiene compliance rate was 68% Rate between 10:00 PM - 7:00 AM was 44% Hand hygiene compliance rate at night is lower (p<0.05)
24 Snow Ball Effect Added hand hygiene training for new staff, including advanced students, interns and visiting scholars Expanded to all departments Continuing to refine the hand washing surveillance system and explore effective surveillance methods hospital wide
