2 I. Introductions II. III. IV. Marshmallow Challenge Why Teach Patient Safety? Barriers to Teaching Patient Safety V. Components of a Patient Safety Curriculum (ex. Goals, RCA) VI. Questions & Comments Patient Safety is Not a Gadget, but a State of Mind: Implementing a Patient Safety Education Curriculum

3 Describe common causes of medical errors Identify potential barriers to learning and teaching a patient safety curriculum Define the components of a patient safety curriculum Practice a mock root cause analysis

4 THE MARSHMALLOW CHALLENGE Goal: Develop skills to improve effective communication and teamwork Task: Work as a team to build the tallest tower with only the resources given at each table Resources: 20 Spaghetti sticks, 1 yard of tape, 1 yard of string, 1 large marshmallow. Rules: Can only use the materials provided and must be attached to the flat surface of table. Measurement will be from table to the marshmallow. The entire marshmallow must be on top. *Must be free-standing at 8 mins. **Tower RECORD 33

5 KEY POINTS Main teaching point- Pool Your Supplies & Brains Well Defined Roles Be Resourceful Promote Creativity Build Trust Teamwork through Communication Leadership

19 COMMON TYPES of MEDICAL ERRORS Diagnosis or Evaluation Medical Decision-Making Treatment Medication Procedural Complications Faulty Communication Inadequate Supervision Interns gone wild Reliance on upper level residents Assumption that residents ask for help when they need it

20 COMMON CAUSES of MEDICAL ERRORS Ignorance Inexperience Faulty Judgment Fatigue & Job Overload Failure to Monitor System Flaws Lack of Leadership Electronic Health Records Increasing Complexity of Medicine

21 COMMON CAUSES of MEDICAL ERRORS Ignorance Not as bad as they say I m a doctor I know how to keep my patients safe No Harm No Foul mentality Inexperience Faulty Judgment

22 COMMON CAUSES of MEDICAL ERRORS Ignorance Inexperience New intern syndrome New attending syndrome Faulty Judgment

23 WE DID THIS? I GUESS WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO OPERATE? NO. WAIT AND HOPE THINGS IMPROVE.

24 COMMON CAUSES of MEDICAL ERRORS Ignorance Inexperience Faulty Judgment Fatigue & Job Overload 80 hour weeks Multiple roles and responsibilities Intern syndrome Failure to Monitor System Flaws Lack of Leadership Electronic Health Records Increasing Complexity of Medicine

25 COMMON CAUSES of MEDICAL ERRORS Ignorance Inexperience Faulty Judgment Fatigue & Job Overload Failure to Monitor/Lack of Leadership Lack of emphasis on the importance of patient safety Disengaged leadership Interns gone wild System Flaws Lack of Leadership Electronic Health Records Increasing Complexity of Medicine

29 Barriers Encountered at ECU Attitude Blame The Coolness Factor Technology Time pressures Individuals Leadership Trainees Cultures Formal curriculum

30 Top seven barriers to implementing patient safety systems: Competing priorities for scarce resources in a system where patient safety is not considered a top priority Lack of resources: inadequate staffing and work overloads Availability and cost of patient safety technology Resistance to change (the assumption that providers are already providing safe care) Culture of blame (current healthcare culture is punitive in nature) Lack of senior leadership understanding of and involvement with patient safety issues Culture of healthcare workforce perceptions, attitudes and behaviors of error cover up Akins RB, Cole BR. Barriers to implementation of patient safety systems in healthcare institutions: leadership and policy implications. J Patient Saf 2005; 1:9-16.

31 Starts with YOU! Create a culture of emphasizing patient safety Recognizing pervasiveness throughout patient care encounters Training individuals Faculty Chief Resident of Patient Safety Residents and mock root cause analyses (RCAs) Design a formal curriculum Using a variety of educational methods Didactics Role model on service Small groups and role play Collaborative process HOW DO WE FIX THESE ISSUES?

32 CURRICULUM GOALS Assumption that errors will occur Emphasis on systems rather than individuals Emphasis on the multifactorial nature of error Emphasis on caregiver interactions Emphasis on a non-punitive environment Balance between positives & negatives Leadership from the top down

43 ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result -Albert Einstein

44 RCA: Definitions *RCA is a tool designed to help identify not only what and how an event occurred, but also why it happened 1. Root causes are specific underlying causes 2. Root causes are those that can reasonably be identified 3. Root causes are those management has control to fix 4. Root causes are those for which effective recommendations for preventing recurrences can be generated

45 RCA: ESSENTIAL STEPS 1. Data Collection 2. Causal Factor Charting Individual System 3. Root Cause Identification 4. Recommendation Generation & Implementation

46 RCA: SIMPLE EXAMPLE Available at: Accessed April 27, 2015

47 Scenario RCA: DATA COLLECTION 45 y/o patient with stage IV colon cancer admitted to surgical oncology on 6/30/14 with abdominal/back pain, jaundice, and increased liver functions test levels indicating possible obstruction. Patient has had complicated course over the past year with multiple procedures and brain metastasis with subsequent seizure activity (5/2014). As a result, patient started on levetiracetam. On admission, levetiracetam was not started on day of admission. On 7/6/14, patient experienced seizure activity and required transfer to ICU. Levetiracetam then restarted. Patient continued to have complicated course and ultimately decided to pursue DNR/DNI with eventual demise.
