3 3 Introduction Efforts to transform quality and patient safety in hospitals are sweeping across the country through the Partnership for Patients (PfP) initiative. As part of this initiative, The Hospital & Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP) was awarded a federal contract to create the Pennsylvania Hospital Engagement Network (PA-HEN) to promote strategies that foster a culture of safety and reduce adverse events. Those hospitals that joined the PA-HEN were given the opportunity to complete the Organizational Assessment Tool (OAT), a self-assessment tool that was developed by the National Content Developer (NCD), the PfP technical contractor. This self-assessment tool was comprised of 138 questions that addressed ten content domains that affect quality and patient safety. These domains include Safety Culture, Leadership, Measurement, Medication, Purchasing Practice, Procedural, Risk Management, Nursing Practice, Communication, and Infection Control. The OAT was meant to assist hospitals in identifying the use of quality and patient safety evidence-based best practices within their hospitals, as well as new areas of opportunity where suggested practices could be implemented. Many hospitals found that simply completing the OAT helped them to discover gaps in their organizational culture and areas of practice that needed to be re-evaluated. The OAT also can help hospitals identify cultural and leadership factors that affect patient safety and quality initiatives. Evaluating your facility s culture and administrative systems will help hospital leaders determine the facility s readiness for change. In order to assist hospitals in this process, the PA-HEN leadership developed the following toolkit. This toolkit includes a high level aggregate analysis of how you and other hospitals in the PA-HEN responded to the OAT questions, and provides other analytic tools that can be used to identify strong areas of practices as well as opportunities for improvement. In reviewing the average domain scores, there were three domains that represented the highest areas of success and three that represented the greatest opportunity for improvement across the PA-HEN. The three highest scoring domains were Measurement, Nursing Practice and Purchasing Practice. The three lowest scoring domains were Leadership, Safety Culture, and Communication. Not only do these lowest scoring domains represent the greatest areas of opportunity across the PA-HEN, but they are also the keystones to many other facets of hospital operations and patient outcomes. Many of the components within the Leadership, Safety Culture, and Communication domains greatly affect your hospital s patient safety culture, and we are now discovering that patient safety culture affects more than just patient outcomes it also affects patient experiences. There is a growing body of research that demonstrates a link between the AHRQ Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPS) scores and Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers Survey (HCAHPS) scores. Furthermore, there is a great deal of evidence that demonstrates how important culture can be to the safety and reliability of an organization.
4 While PA-HEN leadership recognizes the value of the OAT, the tool does have its limitations. Although the contents of the OAT focus on evidence-based best practices, the format of the OAT is more of a self-assessment tool rather than a validated survey. The aggregate data from the OAT results cannot be used for statistical analyses across facilities. However, PA-HEN leadership does believe that reviewing your results and comparing your responses with other PA- HEN hospitals may help to facilitate discussion and identify areas of opportunity for action regarding patient safety and quality at your hospital. Because the OAT was self-reported, responses to OAT questions contain bias and may not accurately depict the patient safety environment of the hospitals. In reviewing the OAT, and when analyzing your hospital s responses with an interdisciplinary team, it is important to ask and discuss the following thought-provoking questions, Does this response accurately represent the practices or environment in our hospital? and If you asked five front-line staff on a unit about X, what would be their response? Answers to these questions will help guide your next steps and your investigation into whether decisions and policies that have been made by leadership have affected patient care as intended. While there are some limitations with the OAT, these limitations do not negate the value that can come from analyzing your OAT results. After moving through the analysis toolkit, hospitals should be able to identify the practices within the domains that may be contributing to a lower overall domain score. Hospitals also should have a full discussion about patient safety culture, communication and leadership engagement within their facility with the use of the Top 22 questions. Not only are these domains important for performance improvement and sustainability, these three domains represent the greatest opportunity for improvement across the PA-HEN. After discussing these factors, hospitals can then use the toolkits that are provided in the Resources and Toolkits section to determine how to proceed and to implement those actions and changes that are necessary to support quality and patient safety transformation. Thank you for participating in the PA-HEN and for helping to transform quality and patient safety across Pennsylvania. All Pennsylvania hospitals and the patients they serve can benefit from the sharing of each other s practices, experiences, and lessons learned, no matter the size of the facility or where they are on their quality and safety journey. Collaboration, networking and shared learning are vital and valuable components for success in achieving the national Partnership for Patients goals, and are fully embodied in the PA-HEN and The Hospital & Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania philosophy of Achieving More Together. 4
5 5 OAT Analysis Roadmap Many respondents found that completing the OAT was useful in helping to reflect on quality and patient safety within their facilities. Hospitals responses and domain scores, and overall PA- HEN level scores and response frequencies also should provide a basis for greater review and deeper analysis of quality improvement efforts within facilities. The following steps are meant to generate discussion and give insight as to where efforts should be focused, and how to support PA-HEN initiatives within facilities. 1. Develop and convene an interdisciplinary team to review the OAT. Quality improvement cannot be the sole responsibility of one person or one department. Systemic approaches that include hospital leadership, clinicians, administrators, quality improvement directors, patient safety officers, and front-line staff are most effective in improving and sustaining quality. 2. Review your hospital s domain scores in the Executive Summary on page 7 with your team. The domains that are shown in Exhibits 1 and 2 represent ten areas of focus that affect overall quality and patient safety. Exhibit 1 is meant to give a quick overview of your hospital s highest and lowest scoring domains. To identify possible areas for improvement, hospitals should then compare their domain scores with the average and maximum PA-HEN scores that are provided in Exhibit 1 and Exhibit Closely review the OAT questions that are provided in the Top 22 Questions section. These questions highlight elements of safety culture, leadership, and communication which are vital to the success and sustainability of performance improvement projects. Reviewing these OAT questions will help hospitals identify cultural, structural or administrative obstacles that may affect your PA-HEN projects and other hospital operations. When reviewing your responses to the Top 22 Questions, the following questions may be useful in generating discussions: Does this response accurately represent the practices or environment in our hospital? If you ask five front-line staff on a unit about X, what would their response be? When was the last time that you used policy X, and was it effective in achieving the intent of the policy? Included in the Top 22 Questions section are examples of suggested practices to consider for implementation. Further information about these practices can be found in the Resources and Toolkits section.
6 4. Drill down into the domains where you have identified opportunities for improvement. Questions from the OAT and the overall PA-HEN level response frequencies are included in the OAT Survey and Results section. Hospital key contacts also have been provided with a PDF copy of their OAT responses as a separate attachment. This attachment can be used as a reference to see how your hospital responded to OAT questions. Responses can then be compared to the frequency of responses by other PA-HEN hospitals. This exercise will help hospitals to determine what items, within their lowscoring domains, that they can improve upon. 5. Discuss your above average domain scores and sustainability plans. Reviewing areas of success are important for identifying what your facility does well and for identifying areas where your quality improvement efforts have been sustained. Explore successful strategies and interventions that can be used for addressing identified opportunities in the low scoring domains. 6. Revisit those questions that ask about the perceptions or practices of front-line staff. Asking front-line staff about culture, best-practices, and patient safety is a good way to investigate whether leadership decisions and organizational policies have affected the patient care that is being delivered. OAT questions that ask about the practices and perceptions of front-line staff include numbers 17, 25, 27, 29, 103, and Use the resources and toolkits to develop a plan of action for identified improvement opportunities. At the end of this toolkit is the Resources and Toolkits section. The resources and toolkits provided can help determine the approaches and tools that would best fit with your hospital in addressing opportunities for improvement. Within this section you can find links to the Implementation Support Packages that were developed by the National Content Developer (NCD). Within these support packages there are guides, articles, and tools that you can use to implement patient safety culture, better communication, and stronger leadership engagement within your facility. To best execute the practices within these support packages, PA-HEN leadership encourages senior leaders to adopt the units where these action plans are being implemented. There also are other resources listed from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), information on the Board of Trustee Quality Curriculum that is offered by HAP and information and a link to the PA-HEN PassKey collaborative workspace being utilized to support the PA-HEN initiatives. 6
7 7 Executive Summary The OAT was created as a self-assessment tool for hospitals to identify areas where they have successfully implemented best practices and to identify areas of opportunity where suggested practices can be implemented. Reviewing and comparing your hospital s scores and responses with overall scores and responses from the PA-HEN is an excellent way to evaluate your successes and areas of opportunity. The exhibits on the following page show a comparison between your hospital s OAT domain scores and the average and maximum PA-HEN domain scores. Exhibit 1 shows a table that displays your hospital s score, and the PA-HEN average and maximum scores for each of the ten domains. The two green domains indicate your two highest scoring domains. The two red domains are your two lowest scoring domains, and may represent your hospital s greatest opportunities for improvement. Exhibit 2 shows a comparison of your domain scores with the PA-HEN average scores using a comparative bar graph. Hospitals are encouraged to review this graph to determine the domains where they scored below the PA-HEN average and above the PA-HEN average. Identifying your above average scores is important in order to identify the practices or strategies that can be used to improve practices in your lower scoring domains. As the PA-HEN leadership team analyzed the overall PA-HEN domain scores and responses, one of the most interesting findings was that the three highest domains, based on average domain scores, were Measurement, Purchasing Practice, and Nursing Practice. The three lowest PA- HEN average domain scores were in Safety Culture, Leadership, and Communication. In creating the Top 22 Questions section that is found in this toolkit, PA-HEN leadership focused on questions from three of the lowest scoring domains, Safety Culture, Leadership and Communication. Not only is it important to focus on these domains because they present the greatest opportunity for improvement, these domains also include elements of culture that contribute to a hospital s overall patient safety culture. Moreover, there is an ever-growing body of evidence that demonstrates a relationship between improvements in patient safety culture, HSOPS and HCAHPS scores. For hospitals looking to improve their HCAHPS scores, in light of pay-for-performance programs, identifying opportunities for improvement in these areas may be one tactic for improving overall patient safety culture, patient care, and patient experiences. Furthermore, these actions and changes also are best implemented when senior leaders play an active role in the operations of a select unit. PA-HEN leadership recommends that senior leaders adopt a unit. When senior leaders adopt a unit, they play a leadership role in the quality improvement projects that are being implemented, and demonstrate to front-line staff that this quality improvement project and these patient safety values are priorities in their facility. If your hospital has scored above the average in any of the lower scoring aggregate PA-HEN domains, you should still analyze areas of opportunity within these three domains in order to
8 enhance your hospital s patient safety culture. Nevertheless, the exhibits that are included in this section of the toolkit are meant to give hospitals an overview of where they stand in terms of quality and patient safety practices as compared to other hospitals within the PA-HEN. To assist hospitals in identifying and addressing opportunities for improvement within their patient safety culture, PA-HEN, along with the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority, will be offering future educational programs. There also will be education on patient safety culture improvement included in the various PA-HEN projects as they continue over the next two years. The PA-HEN plans on re-administering the Top 22 questions that were identified as pertinent cultural questions before the end of the PA-HEN contract so that hospitals can assess their success in implementing best practices and addressing culture within their organization. 8

10 10 Scoring Methodology The National Content Developer, in partnership with IMPAQ, developed and completed the following scoring methodology for the OAT. The OAT was divided into ten domains that represent areas of importance in quality and patient safety. In order to standardize analyses, a scoring methodology was used for each question, and a score was then assigned to each response. Below is a brief description of how the overall domain scores were generated. 1. Each response was assigned a different weighted score, with the use of evidence-based best practices receiving the highest weighted scores and the absence of evidence-based practices receiving the lowest weighted scores, or a zero. 2. For questions that asked respondents to check all that apply, a score of one was assigned to each practice that was checked, and a score of zero was assigned to those practices that respondents did not check. 3. The individual scores for each question and within each domain were then summed. The sum of response scores were then divided by the total possible number of points available within the domain to create the percentages listed in the Domain Scores section.
11 11 Top 22 Questions This section includes the top 22 questions from the OAT that the PA-HEN leadership identified as important questions that represent an organization s overall culture. There are many questions that are included from the Safety Culture, Leadership, and Communication domains, as well as a few other questions from the other domains. Hospitals should move through each of the questions and discuss their responses, using the PDF copy of your OAT responses, and identify possible opportunities for improvement and action.
