1 Title: Nursing Chain of Command for Deterioration of Patient Condition and/or Medical Follow-up DESCRIPTION/OVERVIEW This procedure provides patient care staff guidance for ensuring effective communication and patient care when the usual chain is disrupted due to unusual circumstance. Three algorithms are discussed in this document: Chain of command: Provides nursing with the necessary direction to move up the chain as patient care warrants (Attachment A) Deterioration in Patient condition: Provides nursing with the necessary direction to escalate medical support (Attachment B) and seek immediate in-house medical back-up Activation of the Rapid Response Team (RRT): Provides nursing with the necessary direction to activate the RRT when a patient condition changes, or is suspected of changing, and the medical support is not readily available (Adult Attachment C, Pediatric Attachment D). REFERENCES Applies To: UNM Hospitals Responsible Department: Nursing Leadership, NEC Procedure Patient Age Group: ( ) N/A ( ) All Ages ( ) Newborns (X) Pediatric (X) Adult Protecting 5 Million Lives from Harm Campaign, Institute for Health Care Improvement (IHI), Rapid Response Team Decreases Code Events and Unexpected Patient Deaths Outside the ICU (IHI), retrieved April AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY Registered Nurse (RN) Primary care team Licensed Independent Practitioner (LIP) including cross cover Physician Assistant (PA) including cross cover 333 Operator Rapid Response Team (RRT) Administrative Supervisor (Admin Sup) PROCEDURE Changes in the condition of the patient are determined by assessments utilizing parameters defined in clinical practice guidelines, LIP or PA orders, the patient's previous condition, by patient safety factors, and by nursing judgment. Page 1 of 8
2 1. The RN notifies the responsible LIP or PA utilizing appropriate channels and chain of command. tify LIP or PA in the following order unless otherwise indicated by provider order, by routine or service, or as indicated by the patient condition (Attachment A): 1.1 Primary care team who is medically responsible for the care of the patient; 1.2 Licensed Independent Practitioners (LIPs) 1.3 Senior and/or Chief Resident and/or Fellow (if applicable); 1.4 Attending Provider 1.5 Medical Director 1.6 Service Chief/Department Chair 1.7 Executive Medical Director 1.8 Clinical Affairs On-call 1.9 Some services have additional resources (example: the on-call doctor with the medicine service, Intensivist for the ICUs) and those are considered within the procedure. 2. For ongoing concerns with provider response, the RN must notify appropriate nursing leadership for support and/or to pursue unresolved issues (Attachment A): Weekday Dayshift: RN Supervisor, Unit Director, Executive Director, and Chief Nursing Officer. Nightshift/Weekend Dayshift: RN Supervisor, Administrative Supervisor, Administrator On-call. 3. If there is no response and the situation warrants rapid intervention, call 333 to initiate the RRT for assistance and contact the Administrative Supervisor (Attachment B) 3.1. For all RRT calls initiated due to acute patient instability, the administrative supervisor is required to contact the attending and escalate the chain of command Patients who are actively and rapidly deteriorating may be moved to an ICU bed immediately. If no ICU bed is available on the appropriate service, the Administrative Supervisor will contact the T12 provider and then facilitate transferring the patient to T12, if room available. 4. Document in the medical record the date, time, and name of each LIP or PA notified, actions taken, and/or patient's response to treatment. 5. When the ICU team responds, the team will contact their fellow or attending for any situation in which they believe the patient does not need a higher level of care. In situations where the required level of nursing care will exceed the unit resources, the Administrative Supervisor will use the chain of command to resolve the situation. 6. The RN will perform an initial admission assessment that should be documented and serve as the baseline from which subsequent assessments should be compared in order to determine significant changes that warrant nursing intervention including notification of the LIP or PA. 7. The RN is responsible for communicating patient status, changes and/or any condition that may warrant additional treatment to the LIP or PA. 8. The RN should use the unit standards of care, LIP or PA orders for patient parameters, or RRT triggers for guidance as needed. 9. Condition changes that warrant notification of a LIP or PA may include, (but are not limited to): 9.1. Deterioration in level of consciousness 9.2. Alteration in temperature 9.3. Deterioration of vital signs 9.4. Alteration in urine output 9.5. Critical lab results Page 2 of 8
3 9.6. Evidence of bleeding or infection 9.7. Changes in cardiac rhythm 9.8. Chest pain/shortness of breath 9.9. Increased complaints of pain, despite medication 9.10 Continued deterioration in patient condition despite interventions 10. The RN should notify the LIP or PA if initial received orders and subsequent interventions do not resolve the patient condition. 11. The LIP or PA is responsible for responding in a timely fashion and giving clear direction. 12. If the RN has concerns with regard to the therapeutic interventions, these concerns should be shared with the LIP or PA, and then the next level of the medical team and nursing chain of command. The attending will be notified by the resident of there is a level of care transfer. 13. Documentation essentials; 13.1 Significant changes in patient status are documented in the electronic medical record (EMR) using status change notification: including the who, what, where and when of pertinent communications and outcomes Rapid Response Team members also complete a Rapid Response Log A Cardiopulmonary Arrest Record is completed for patients in cardiac arrest. te: If you feel that the LIP or PA interventions are insufficient to meet the needs of the patient continue to use the Nursing and Provider Chains to ensure the care provided is appropriate or if additional interventions are warranted. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INPATIENT AREAS Activate a RRT by calling 333 and contact the Administrative Supervisors to respond to deterioration in a patient s medical condition. Significant changes in patient status are documented in the EMR and the medical emergency response form. Such documentation includes the who, what, where and when of pertinent communications. The RRT and LIP or PA will determine if 911 needs to be called for assistance and ambulance transfer to an emergency room DEFINITIONS 333: UNM Hospitals Internal Emergency Management phone number Chain of Command (COC): the progressive escalation in seniority rank of personnel on the medical and nursing leadership teams. Rapid Response Team (RRT): the multidisciplinary team that responds to a staff call for assistance for a patient s whose condition has deteriorated.
