INTERDISCIPLINARY ROUNDS ON MEDICAL UNITS Kim Salee MSN, RN, AGCNS-BC, CWOCN Mary Moll MSN, RN, CMSRN, NEA-BC
OBJECTIVES Describe one benefit of Interdisciplinary Rounds Describe the impact Interdisciplinary Rounds are having on quality of care and patient safety
ST. MARY S MEDICAL CENTER St. Vincent s Indiana/Ascension Health System Magnet Designation 2011 & 2016 480 licensed beds 18,576 Inpatient admissions 332,971 Outpatient visits 51,649 Emergency Department visits 54% BSN 46% Certified RNs
BACKGROUND Executive Director attended presentation by Kennestone Regional Medical Center on Interdisciplinary Rounds at AONE conference April 2014 Hospitalist Champion, CNS and Case Manager had initiated Interdisciplinary Rounds in the Medical ICU at St. Mary s January 2014 Organization support for expanding Interdisciplinary Rounds to additional nursing units
ISSUE/ PROBLEM STATEMENT High patient acuity and complexity requires a multidisciplinary team effort to address patient care needs. Current process lacks structure and consistent team members, creating rework and inefficiency. This results in increased length of stay (FY14 O/E 1.16) and increased cost per case (FY14 O/E 1.04), increasing hospital costs by more than $350,000 per year on the medical pulmonary unit
Background/ Measurement FY2014 Pulmonary Medical Unit hospitalist attending total cases: 1,049 (87% of total) Arithmetic Cost/Case Observed: $9, 186 Expected: $8, 844 Arithmetic Length of Stay Observed: 4.85 Expected: 4.19
TEAM MEMBERS Hospitalists- Gather information and summarize plan of care for the day and identify needs for discharge Clinical Nurses- Discuss patient progress, any concerns from previous 24 hours, bring forward patient input to the team and review team discussion with the patient following IDRs Pharmacists- Discuss and enter medication orders (IV to PO conversion), monitor therapeutic levels, antibiotic stewardship, ensure DVT and GI prophylaxis Therapy- Coordinate early mobilization and identify patient limitations and needs for safe discharge Case Management- Coordinate discharge needs and ensure patient transition to appropriate/ safe discharge environment
TEAM MEMBERS CNS- coordinate the team and enter orders real-time to avoid delays in care, provide coaching and feedback to clinical nurses Clinical Supervisor- Ensure timely progression through IDRs (time keeper), enter orders real-time to avoid delays in care, provide coaching and feedback to clinical nurses Dieticians- Address nutritional needs for high risk patients, modify diets for renal failure, heart failure and diabetes Palliative Care- Identify patients who would benefit from additional support services Pastoral Care- Provide spiritual and emotional support to both patients and care team
GOAL By November 2014 we will develop and implement an interdisciplinary rounding model which improves communication/coordination and eliminates inefficiency and rework. We expect to see a decrease in LOS and cost per case by June 2015.
CURRENT CONDITION Limited attendance Subjective concerns Missed quality improvement opportunities Results in some missed opportunities Daily patient huddle RN gives update on patient Discharge Planning Recommendations made Patient discharged Case Management/ Social Worker hunts down physician for any forms that need signed RN contacts Physician for orders Patient discharged with missed quality and safety opportunities Delays in transition at discharge Physicians often paged multiple times by multiple caregivers
ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS Our patients are discharged with missed quality and safety opportunities WHY? Patient care is focused on discipline specific priorities WHY? Our complex Electronic Health Record (EHR) and limited resources make it difficult for individual disciplines to search out pertinent interdisciplinary information needed for more comprehensive patient care. WHY DO CAREGIVERS NOT COMMUNICATE THIS VITAL INFORMATION DIRECTLY WITH EACH OTHER? It is nearly impossible to coordinate availability with the multiple disciplines each nurse needs to talk to in order to improve patient care. WHY DON T WE HAVE A CONSISTENT, STRUCTURED PROCESS TO MEET THIS NEED? Limited resources (knowledge, time, personnel, tools)
TARGET CONDITION Attended by all Interdisciplinary Team members Opportunities don t get missed No delays in care Decreased LOS Interdisciplinary Rounds Checklist driven agenda Orders entered and forms signed at rounds Plan for next day discharges Discharge Leadership rounding RN updates patient on Plan of Care Validates patient involved in POC Improved communication and patient satisfaction
COUNTERMEASURE Develop and implement a structured process to be followed in all interdisciplinary rounds
Interdisciplinary Rounds Checklist CNS/Clinical Supervisor Enters verbal orders Facilitates participation/ Collaborates with nursing Nursing 2-3 min Pharmacy <1 min Case Management Code Status/ POA Patient presentation/ Review of systems Specific content for each system Antibiotic use/need Culture status VTE prophylaxis Facilitates transitions Insurance/Social DME orders Pain PUD prophylaxis Discharge needs/barriers Mobility Steroid use/need PT/OT needs VTE prophylaxis IV/PO readiness IHI risk score Home med issues Respiratory Therapy <1 min O2 needs Respiratory treatments Dietary < 1 min Nutrition status Nutrition treatments Physical Therapy <1min PT/OT needs Activity level Mobility category Physician 1-2 min Anticipated d/c date Anticipated d/c location Plan of care Palliative Care needs
ACTION PLAN What Who By When Modify ICU checklist Team 11/4/2014 Set schedule and attendance for Interdisciplinary Rounds (IDR) Team 11/4/2014 Define participant roles Team 11/4/2014 Educate and engage RNs Educate and engage physicians Exec Director, Director, Clinical Supervisors, CNS 11/4/2014 Hospitalist Champion 11/4/2014 Conduct mock rounds Team 11/5/2014 & 11/7/2014 Go-live Team 11/24/2014
ACT/ ADJUST In April, 2015 staff meetings were held to increase understanding of IDR and participation of all clinical nurses on all shifts and to identify barriers to this process. In addition, we began working more closely with physicians to clarify expectations. Nurses need daily coaching and affirmation IDRs work best when there is a consistent leader Physicians must be actively engaged and encourage use of the checklist Start on time and have a defined ending time
OVERCOMING BARRIERS Physician engagement Checklist utilization Environment Patients split between multiple hospitalists Pharmacist needs to have a computer Time requirement for all participants

IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE IDRs build professional relationships between RNs, physicians, and ancillary staff creating a healthier work environment RNs develop enhanced skills in assessment, case presentation and analysis IDRs lead to efficient patient-centered care with a multidisciplinary Plan of Care which leads to improved clinical and financial outcomes
