1 Effective Patient Handovers at OU Medicine Leadership Development Institute August 6, 2010
2 Quality and Patient Safety Realize OU Medicine s position with respect to a culture of safety and quality. Improve quality and patient safety outcomes by optimizing handover communication processes across the care continuum. Standardize methods of communication about patient safety concerns and/or risks. Enhance multidisciplinary teamwork to improve quality and ensure patient safety. Implement system and behavioral changes that improve work flow processes, enhance critical thinking in at various points in the clinical decision-making process and promote best practices and accountability for patient safety. 2
3 Quality and Patient Safety Framework Create a structure that positively affects quality and patient safety e.g. culture of quality e.g. culture of safety Develop processes of care that positively impact quality and patient safety e.g. standardized/streamlined handover communications Produce outcomes exhibiting provision of high quality and safe care e.g. zero defects, decreased medical errors, etc. These are the things that we want to and need to improve 3
4 Why the Push Towards Standardized Why the Push Towards Standardized Handover Communication?
5 Medical Errors in the U.S. According to the IOM report To Err is Human, between 44,000 and 98,000 deaths are recorded each year as a result of preventable medical errors 1. According to HealthGrades' fifth annual Patient Safety in American Hospitals Study, patient safety incidents cost the federal Medicare program $8.8 billion and resulted in 238,337 potentially preventable deaths during 2004 through IOM Report, To Err is Human;
6 Communication Breakdowns Complaints and Legal Issues Each one point decrement in patient satisfaction scores is associated with a: 6% increase in complaints (RR 1.06, 95% CI ;p<.0001). 5% increase in risk management episodes (RR 1.05, 95% CI ;p<.008) 1. Communication breakdowns have been documented to occur in nearly 80% of medicolegal cases 2. Faulty handoffs are specifically implicated in up to 24% of malpractice claims in the ED Stelfox HT, et al, The American Journal of Medicine 2005; 118: Levinson W. Physician-patient communication: a key to malpractice prevention. JAMA. 1994;272: Kachalia A, Gandhi TK, Puopolo AL, et al. Missed and delayed diagnoses in the emergency department: a study of closed malpractice claims from 4 liability insurers. Ann Emerg Med. 2007;49:
7 Communication Issues Leading Factor in Root Causes Source: Joint Commission Sentinel Event Database,
8 Communication Breakdowns According to The Joint Commission s Sentinel Event Database, communication breakdowns were the root cause of more than 65% of 3,811 sentinel events. Of those communications breakdowns, approximately 75% result in the patient s t death. More than half of these communication breakdowns were associated with patient handoffs 1.

10 JC Implementation Expectations Systems and processes in place for effective handover communication include the following: Allowance for questioning between the giver and receiver of patient information. Up-to-date information regarding the patient s care, treatment and services, condition and any recent or anticipated changes. A process for verification of the received information, including repeat- back or read-back, as appropriate. An opportunity for the receiver of the hand off information to review relevant patient historical data, which may include previous care, treatment, and services Source: Joint Commission 2008 National Patient Safety Goals Requirement 2E. 10
11 Education Issues In a survey of 125 U.S. medical schools, only 8% teach how to hand over patients in a formal didactic session 1. Due to the reduction of residency duty hours to 80 hours per week, increased handovers and reduced continuity of patient care are a considerable concern Solet etal. Lost in Translation: Challenges and Opportunities in Physician-to-Physician Communication During Patient Handoffs. Academic Medicine: 80 (12); December Riesenberg etal. Residents and Attending Physicians Handoffs: A Systematic Review of the Literature. Academic Medicine: 84 (12); December
12 Communication Breakdowns Inpatient-Outpatient Physician Discontinuity About 75% of the time, discharge summaries have not yet arrived to the PCP at the time of the patient s first follow up. In another investigation, PCPs reported being unaware of 62% of the pending test results that returned after discharge, of which 37% were considered actionable. Source: Kripalani et al. Transitions of Care at Hospital Discharge. Journal of Hospital Medicine 2007; 2:
13 Handover Communications Benefits of Standardizing/Streamlining Handover Communications: Improve quality, safety and continuity of care during care transitions Improve handover communication and transfer of information Decrease medical errors Reduce the number of duplicated tests Decrease readmissions Increase patient satisfaction Reduce patient complaints and litigation Save staff time and reduce provider frustration 13
14 Where Must We Start?
15 Create a Culture of Safety Create an organizational culture of safety that: Focuses on patient safety and the prevention of errors Is aware and knowledgeable about patient safety and error prevention Focuses on improvement and prevention rather than blame Fosters collaboration and communication between departments, teams and individuals Provides organization-wide patient safety education and policy development that includes practitioners, staff, patients and families Recognizes unexpected outcomes and medical errors through data collection and analysis with appropriate reporting, follow-up and action 15
16 AHRQ Survey Measures The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture is designed to measure: Four overall patient safety outcomes: 1. Overall perceptions of safety 2. Frequency of events reported 3. Number of events reported 4. Overall patient safety grade 16
17 Survey Methodology On July 13, 2010, the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture was distributed to LDI invitees via and Survey Monkey link. 434 total individuals surveyed 209 respondents (48.2%) 184 completed surveys (42.4%) 4%) Note: Since not all questions were responded to, the totals for each survey question will not equal 209. The percentages are based on the number of respondents to each specific question. 17

32 Communication Tools: Communication Tools: A Refresher
33 Handover Communication Tools AIDET (Communication for Safety) SBAR Crew Resource Management (CRM) Checklists Rounding 40
34 AIDET Used with SBAR AIDET (Communication for Safety) Acknowledge Introduce Duration Explain utilizing SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) Format Thank you SBAR Situation: Briefly describe the current situation. Give a clear, succinct overview of pertinent issues. Background: Briefly state the pertinent history. What got us to this point? Assessment: Summarize the facts and give your best assessment. What is going on? Use your best judgment. Recommendation: R d What actions are you asking for? What do you want to happen next? 41
35 SBAR Example SBAR Communication Use the following SBAR steps to communicate issues, problems or opportunities for improvement to coworkers or supervisors. SBAR can be applies to both written and verbal communications. Situation State what is happening at the present time that has warranted the SBAR communication. Example: A Primary Care Physician makes an after hours phone call to the hospital ER physician on duty to let him know that she has advised one of her patients to go to the ER urgently for evaluation. Background Explain the circumstances leading up to this situation. Put the situation into context for the reader/listener. Example: The patient is a 65 year old man who is three years post coronary artery bypass surgery. He has had no chest pain since surgery and has been working full time. He has type II diabetes and hypertension, both of which have been well controlled. Over the past two days he has experienced pressure across the front of his chest and aching in the left arm with exertion. Symptoms seem to be progressively noticeable. Assessment What do you think the problem is? Example: Symptoms are compatible with crescendo angina. Recommendation d What would you do to correct the problem? Example: Please take a good look at him and give me a call. 42
