1 Respiratory Clinical Review of Patients with Community Acquired Pneumonia DrPeter Wu Staff Specialist Department of Respiratory & Sleep Medicine Westmead Hospital Western Sydney Local Health District
2 How To Utilise Clinical Data to Improve Clinical Outcome? The Westmead Experience
3 Clinical Leadership Program A program ran by Clinical Excellence Commission Part of the project requirement for completion of program An opportunity to improve clinical performance and clinical outcomes
4 HRT Data
5 Evidence of a Problem Respiratory infection/inflammation (E65A, E65B & E65C) makes up 30% of admissions Number 5, 4 & 2 of top 10 categories by episodes Number 4, 7 & 9 of top 10 categories by bed days Relative stay index all significant above benchmark E65A = 142.2% E65B = 117.6% E65C = 132% Most admissions made up of community acquired pneumonia
6 Meeting with Senior Respiratory Clinicians Problem with coding? Our patients are more complex? Our patients are more complex or present later due to lack of access to general practice and hence have more complications? Our patients are from a lower socioeconomic background? Our patients have less access to general practitioners and present sicker or utilise hospital presentations to access health care?

10 High Level Flow Referral Client to Emergency comes into Department prison Triage & Diagnosis Initial Treatment & Disposition & n Community Acquired Pneumonia Discharge Home on Oral Antibiotics? Yes Community Acquired Pneumonia Initial Treatment in Emergency Department No Current status Admission to Appropriate Medical Unit According to Severity No Intravenous antibiotics Improving from Community Acquired Pneumonia? Treatment & Discharge Planning Discharge Home with Appropriate Follow Up Need further investigations or intervention Yes Discharge & Post Discharge Follow Up Discharge Planning Change to Oral Antibiotics & Mobilise
11 Pareto Chart Treatment & Discharge Planning Number of Votes (%) 0 Prolonged Use of IV Antibiotics Significant Variation in Practice Lack of Weekend Ward Rounds Timing of Consultant Ward Rounds Age of Patient Incorrect Use of Physiotherapy Lack of Consultant Involvement in Decision Making Incorrect Interpretation of Severity Factors in Cause Analysis
12 Audit of Antibiotic Usage Matching data of patients with diagnosis of CAP with IV and oral antibiotics Exclude patients with 1) Malignancy 2) Immunocompromised patients 3) Aspiration pneumonia 4) Lung abscess 5) Empyaema 6) AECOPD
13 Intravenous & Oral Antibiotic Usage Total CAP patients 184 Matched iv drugs Community Acquired Pneumonia - Westmead FY0910 (n = 184) 102 Matched tablets 165 Matched IV followed by oral AB Unmatched IV followed by AB oral Matched IV followed by oral AB - IVx 1 day 102 out of 137 IV followed by AB oral - IV x 1 day
14 Variance in Practice Doctor Cases Average LOS Avg IV Antibiotics Duration* Avg Oral Antibiotics Duration Dr C Dr B Dr H Dr D Dr A Dr G Dr F Dr E Total *Avg Tablet duration calculated first, then ALOS Tab duration to get IV duration
15 Lack of Weekend Ward Rounds Number of discharges Lack of Saturday ward round clearly affected discharges on Saturdays 10% of discharges on weekends Days of the Week
16 Timing of Consultant Ward Rounds Over-reliance on consultant ward rounds on Mondays & Thursdays?
17 Age of Patient No of cases Age group Length of stay(days) Long length of stays are not all necessarily patients >70
18 Incorrect Use of Physiotherapy 149 out of 184 patients (81%) received Physiotherapy intervention The code is non-specific and does not allow us to differentiate what type of intervention was given to the patient Chest physiotherapy is not a standard recommendation for community acquired pneumonia Difficulty obtaining data from the Allied Health system
19 Intervention
20 Interventions IV Ab& Age Prolonged use of IV antibiotics, despite being of the greatest concern to the team, seem to not be a significant issue according to the data Age of patient does not seem to be a consistent influence on the LOS
21 Interventions Weekend Ward Rounds Increasing staffing to have a Saturday ward round, in addition to the established Sunday ward rounds Re-orientation of focus on discharges No current data with regards to outcome of intervention
22 Interventions -Physiotherapy Incorrect use of physiotherapy No clinical indication for chest physiotherapy for community acquired pneumonia (CAP) 81% of patients with CAP requiring physiotherapy appear to be unusually high Require more data on utilisation of physiotherapy & source of referral/indications/referring patterns Staff re-educated with regards to indications for physiotherapy in CAP and to make a direct electronic referral including indication for referral
23 Community Acquired Pneumonia Pathway New pathway aimed at 1) Reducing variance in practice 2) Empowering junior staff to discharge patients with consultant involvement 3) Correct use of physiotherapy 4) Minimising prolonged IV antibiotic usage 5) Incorporating assessments of severity
24 Community Acquired Pneumonia Pathway Pathway for Management of Community Acquired Pneumonia Does the patient have community acquired pneumonia? 1 NO Manage As Per Diagnosis YES Does the patient have immunodeficiency, structural lung problems, lung abscess or suspicion of tuberculous, Staph aureus, gram negative infection or had recent travel in tropical areas/northern Australia? NO What is the CURB-65 score? 2 YES 0-1 Manage As Per Diagnosis Consider discharge if stable co-morbid disease & no concerns re social factors, discharge from ED +/- follow in Early Discharge Clinic 3 2 Admit and commence on Ceftriaxone 1g IV daily PLUS Azithromycin 500mg po/iv daily 4 If admitted, commence on EITHER Ceftriaxone 1g IV daily OR Benzyl penicillin 1.2g IV q4h/q6h AND Roxithromycin 300mg po daily 4 Day 1 Mobilise 5 Day 2 1) Temp <38 c for 16hr AND 2) Clinically improving AND 3) Sats 90% for 30min on RA AND 4) Able to tolerate oral Rx AND 5) Stable co-morbid conditions, social needs attended & mobilising NO YES Discuss with CMO with regards to further management plans 6 INDICATION FOR ONGOING IV ANTIBIOTICS SHOULD BE REVIEWED AT 48 HOURS & DISCUSSED WITH CMO. REGISTRAR SHOULD SIGN OF ANTIBIOTIC STICKER IN MEDICAL NOTES Consider discharge home on orals on Day 1 or when indication for admission is stable +/- PACC service +/- follow up in Early Discharge Clinic 3 Inform CMO & discharge home on orals +/- PACC service +/- follow up in Early Discharge Clinic. 3 **Remember to organise CMO, GP and radiological follow up**
25 Community Acquired Pneumonia Sticker
26 Community Acquired Pneumonia Pathway Staff buy-in crucial for pathway Based on best evidence and best practice Having a projected timeline Simple sticker as alerts to being outside the pathway Flexibility in pathway & ability to opt out Reduce variance of practice Reduce over reliance on consultant ward rounds to make decisions for those who fall within the pathway Encouraging involvement & communications with CMO Regular audit of stickers in monthly Quality Improvement Meeting to ensure ongoing compliance
27 Community Acquired Pneumonia Pathway Setting up of facilities to accommodate more outpatient management of lower acuity cases of pneumonia Early Discharge Clinic ED Discharge Clinic
28 Intervention -Coding Improvement in documentation to assist in coding with Weekly problem list Monthly audits of problem lists Improvement in electronic discharge summary Drop down boxes for diagnosis and complications Weekly review of a clinical cases in meeting Weekly review of files/discharge summaries in registrar meeting 4x a year review of cases with clinical coders
29 Outcome
30 HRT July-Dec 2010
31 HRT July-Dec 2012
32 HRT July-Dec 2013
33 HRT July-Dec 2013
34 HRT July-Dec 2013
35 Outcome Intervention resulted in ongoing and durable change! Ongoing and durable reduction in the overall LOS and hence cost the unit/hospital, despite workload staying relatively constant?increase in emergency re admissions Increasing weekend registrar ward round did not increase weekend discharges but now spread over Saturday and Sunday Consumer satisfaction not measured No patient satisfaction survey designed Little to compare to prior to introducing change.
36 Conclusion Importance of using clinical data to facilitate change Importance of undertaking a diagnostic journey in solving a systems problem Need to correct clinically relevant facility specific clinical data to allow for correct solutions to be formed for a systems problem Need to engage staff on all levels to allow for systems change
