1 Preventing Medical Errors Presented by Debra Chasanoff, MEd, OTR/L FOTA Annual Conference - November 9, 2013 This program was designed to meet the criteria in section (7), Florida Statutes, which mandates that two hours of continuing education in medical errors prevention is required for licensure renewal in the state of Florida. Participants will be able to identify how to apply a systems approach to identify and reduce the risk for medical errors in the clinical environment to improve patient safety. Course Objectives 1. Describe why the reporting and analysis of medical errors and adverse conditions are critical to patient safety. 2. Detail the current laws, requirements and regulations relating to patient safety and the prevention of medical errors. 3. Identify factors that impact the occurrence of medical errors and frequently encountered error-prone situations. 4. Understand the terms and definitions commonly used in the field of medical errors. 5. Understand the components of and techniques associated with a successful root cause analysis and corrective action plan. 6. Identify ways in which environmental risk patterns, practice risk patterns and the safety needs of populations at risk for medical errors can be addressed in order to avoid medical errors. This course has been reviewed and approved by the Florida Department of Health Board of Occupational Therapy.
2 Preventing Medical Errors Debra Chasanoff, MEd, OTR/L Last Chance Workshop State College of Florida July 11, 2013 MEDICAL ERRORS are one of the nation s leading causes of injury and death! Statistics from National Academies Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report and CDC To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System (1999) One in every four Medicare patients who were hospitalized from 2000 to 2002 and experienced a patient-safety incident died. Patient safety incidents with the highest rates of per 1000 hospitalizations were failure to rescue, decubitus ulcer and postoperative sepsis, which accounted for almost 60% of all patientsafety incidents that occurred. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) estimates that 44,000 to 98,000 Americans die each year not from medical conditions they checked in with, but from preventable medical errors. Medical Errors Cause: A loss to the national economy Loss of trust in the system Psychological and emotional distress Diminished satisfaction of care Lower levels of the population health status walking wounded What is a Medical Error????? The failure to complete a planned action as intended or the use of a wrong plan to achieve an aim. The error occurs in either the planning or execution stage. What is an Adverse Event? An Adverse Event is defined as: an injury caused by medical management rather than by the underlying disease or condition of the patient. Adverse events resulting in medical errors should be preventable - The Institute of Medicine What can be done????? A cultural change within the health care environment. A Radically Different Approach Shift from character- and people-related flaws to system and process flaws. Time to discard the need to blame and to embrace a blameless exploration of systems, processes, and mechanisms that have failed to prevent human error and near misses. In the Past. Healthcare workers reported: non-intentional acts of commission acts of omission other acts that led to an unfavorable outcome
3 New Paradigm: DEFINITIONS Error Requires the reporting of: Serious acts of commission Acts of omission Actions that do not achieve their intended effect or outcome NEAR MISSES PROCESS VARIATIONS THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE OUTCOME BUT COULD LEAD TO AN ADVERSE OUTCOME IN THE FUTURE (according to JCAHO) An unintentional act, either of omission or commission, or an act that does not achieve its intended outcome. Errors of Omissions Result when actions are not taken to prevent injury to patient and the injury occurs. Sentinel Event An unexpected occurrence involving death or serious physical or psychological injury or the risk thereof. Serious injury includes: Loss of limb or function or the risk thereof Any process or variation for which a recurrence would carry a significant chance of a serious adverse outcome. Near Miss Any process variation which did not affect the outcome, but for which a recurrence carries a significant chance of a serious adverse outcome. Hazardous Conditions Near miss falls within the scope of the definition of a sentinel event Any set of circumstances (exclusive of the disease or condition for which the patient is being treated) which significantly increases the likelihood of a serious adverse outcome. Examples: Tool for Prevention and Analysis Root Cause Analysis The primary technique used to knowledgeably correct faulty systems and to identify opportunities for improvement. Aims to identify the multiple underlying factors that have, or could have, contributed to the medical error. Is a goal directed and systematic process that uncovers the most basic underlying factors that have contributed to or have the potential to contribute to a sentinel event. The purpose is to identify what changes or processes or mechanisms can be initiated or reengineered to prevent a recurrence of the sentinel event or to reduce the risk of future close calls.
4 There are two types of Root Cause Analysis: Proactive: Reactive Studying potential areas where errors could likely occur and putting into action a plan to prevent them. Occurring after the fact or after the error has occurred. This includes defining the error, asking why, and then repeatedly asking why until all possibilities for the error are exhausted. Root Causes can be grouped into categories. Root Cause - Human Orientation and continuing education of staff & others Competency assessment & other credentialing of staff & others Staffing levels Supervision of staff Root Cause - Communication Among healthcare members With pt. and family Adequacy of technical support to communicate pt. information Availability of information relating to pt. assessment, plan of care, care rendered, outcome of care. Root Cause - Environment Physical environment: Security Systems & processes Root Cause Supplies & Equipment Maintenance & management of equipment Electrical safety of pt. medical devices & equipment Control & storage of and access to medications. Labeling of medications. Root Cause Policies & Procedures Physical assessment Behavioral assessment Pt. identification process Care planning Pt. observation procedures Documentation & reporting So, Why Do People Make Mistakes.. Fatigue Illegibility Using Past Solutions Inattention/Distraction Communication Gaps Familiarity Causing Blindness Equipment Failure
5 Unfamiliar Situations New Problems Equipment Design Flaws Poor Working Conditions Mislabeling/Instructions Rapidly changing technology Failure to maintain Competency through Continuing Professional Education Misinterpretation of Medical Orders Processes That May Fail and Lead to Errors Creating Change and Improving Safety - Process Changes to Consider The Florida Statues There is no nationwide regulations for mandatory reporting of medical errors, however, Florida is one of the states that does require it. Florida Statutes Title XXIX Public Health, Chapter Hospital Licensing and Regulation, Part I Hospital and Other Licensed Facilities state: (6)(a) Each licensed facility subject to this section shall submit an annual report to the agency summarizing the incident reports that have been filed in the facility for that year. The report shall include: The total number of adverse incidents. A listing of the types and numbers of operations, diagnostic or treatment procedures or other actions causing injuries. A listing of the types of injuries caused and the number of incidents occurring in each category A listing of health professionals (by code number) directly involved Description of all malpractice claims filed against the licensed facility, including pending and closed claims The licensed facility shall notify the agency no later than 1 business day after the following adverse incidents have occurred: The death of a patient Brain or spinal damage to a patient The performance of a surgical procedure on the wrong patient The performance of a wrong-site surgical procedure The performance of a wrong surgical procedure. Florida Statues: Patient s Right to Know Florida passed the Patient s Right to Know About Adverse Medical Incidents Act Florida Statutes XXXIX, Public Health Chapter 381, Statute The purpose of this act is to allow patients access to records of adverse medical incidents when these records were made or received in the course of business by a health care facility or provider The USP MER Program (USP United States Pharmacopeia) Has a nationwide program called the MER or Medical Errors Reporting Program Designed for health care professionals to report errors or potential errors confidentially.
6 These reports can contribute to improved patient safety and the development of educational services for the prevention of future errors. USP reviews each report and send the information to the FDA and the product manufacturer They will also act as a liaison with the FDA/product manufacturer for anyone who submits a report anonymously The Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 Signed into law on July 2005 Public law enacted by the federal government in response to concerns about medical errors in the US and the IOM s 1999 report To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System Purpose: to improve patient safety by encouraging voluntary and confidential reporting of events that adversely affect patients. Ethics and Disclosure Disclosure vs. Nondisclosure Medical errors have important implications for trust in the health care professional and institutional integrity A medical error does not necessarily mean improper, negligent or unethical behavior but the failure to disclose the incident may. The OT Code of Ethics and Ethical Standards 2010 Health Literacy and Patient Safety JCAHO and AMA have recognized the link between patient safety and communication with patients. Health Literacy The degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions. Requires a complex group of reading, listening, analytical and decision making skills and the ability to apply these skills to health situations. Special Populations Age Specific Considerations The very young Hospitalized children who s medication is calculated for their weight Medical Errors in Schools Elderly patients, patients with diminished cognitive function, Developmental or Learning Disabilities Psychiatric Patients May be unable to fully participate in their medical care of treatment plans. Often delusional or depressed and are often under a medical regimen of psychotropic or sedating medications that may impair their their perception of reality. Special Populations Chronically ill patients with multiple conditions Patients with renal or liver impairment Patients with immune system impairment (oncology, AIDS, transplant)
7 Error-Prone Situations High Risk Areas for Medical Errors Related to the practice of Occupational Therapy Heat/Cold Applications Splints/orthotic applications Assistive Devices Hydrotherapy Therapeutic Exercise Improper diagnosis and/or intervention Unpredictable patient/family Failure to consider and follow Precautions and Contraindications Any of the above can lead to an extension of an illness, an increase of severity of disease, further the degree of disability and cause additional secondary impairments. (Goodman & Snyer: Differential Diagnosis in Physical Therapy, 2000) High Risk Areas for Medical Errors Effective Patient/Client Management Failure to integrate clinical expertise and make a determination of when to treat, when to refer, and when to consult with other healthcare practitioners FALLS PREVENTION Assessment of patient s risk of falling Correct potential environmental dangers Patient/family education Continuous monitoring Implementation of a patient specific plan Restraints Side-rails Exercise Assistive Devices Medications Medications that may lead to falls and/or impact therapy Anti-hypertensives Sedatives Hypnotics Anti-depressants Anti-psychotics Corticosteroids Muscle Relaxers Diuretics Anticoagulants Diabetic Medications
8 IMPORTANT QUESTIONS WHAT medication? (HOW many?) 3 or more medications increases risk for falls WHEN are or were they taken? FOR WHAT condition/problem are they taken? WHAT are the potential side effects? Potential Patient Related Safety Issues: Cognitive Deficits Sensorimotor Deficits Family Dynamics Socioeconomic Situation Cultural or Religious Practices or Beliefs Personal Practices or Beliefs Potential Provider Issues : Competency of Provider Equipment Safety Physical Plant Safety Confidentiality & Trust Biases & Prejudices Level of Fatigue Distractions Physical Comfort (too hot, cold, pain, etc) Anxiety, Fear, Frustration, Boredom JCAHO = 2013 National Patient Safety Goals 1. Identify patients correctly Use at least 2 patient identifiers when providing care, treatment or service 2. Improve staff communication Get important test results to the right staff person on time. 3. Use medicines safely Record and pass along correct information about a patient s medicines Take extra care with patients who take medicines to thin their blood 7. Reduce the risk of health care-associated infections Comply with WHO Hand Hygiene Guidelines, and CDC hand hygiene guidelines Preventing multidrug-resistant organisms infections Preventing central line-associated blood stream infections Preventing surgical site infection
9 Prevent infections of the urinary tract caused by catheters 9. Reduce the risk of patient harm resulting from falls a. Identify which patients are most likely to fall b. Take action to prevent falls. 15. Identify patient safety risks a. The organization identifies patients at risk for suicide Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Hand Hygiene Guidelines Health care professionals should not wear artificial nails (required) and.. should keep natural nails less than one quarter of an inch long if they care for patients at high risk of acquiring infection (recommended) Full Report: Patient Rights and Protection Patient s Rights in Preventing Medical Errors Preventing Medical Errors = Designing Safe Systems Leadership Changing Organizational Culture Respect Human Limits Multidisciplinary Teams Proactive Approach Learning Environment Incompetent people are, at most 1% of the problem. The other 99% are good people trying to do a good job who make very simple mistakes and it s the processes that sets them up to make these mistakes. Dr. Lucien Leape, Harvard School of Public health
