Problem A study released in 2016 estimated that communication failures in U.S. hospitals and medical practices were responsible at least in part for 30 percent of all malpractice claims, resulting in 1,744 deaths and $1.7 billion in malpractice costs over five years. Following the completion of a gap analysis on The Joint Commission s (TJC) Sentinel Event Alert relating to Handoff Communication, KDHCD leadership established a Quality Focus Team (QFT) to evaluate the quality of handoff. TJCs recommends the use of a standardized tool for handoff, KDHCD s new electronic medical record serves as a standardized tool. The initial goal of the QFT is to evaluate the quality of handoff pre and post KD Hub implementation. From this the QFT will be able to determine: a) The impact of KD Hub on the quality of handoff communication b) Determine areas of opportunity post implementation (scope of the teams work post implementation)
Collecting A Baseline Measure Pre-KD Hub The QFT will use TJCs TST Tool as a data collection tool (Targeted Solutions Tool). The TST tools are surveys that senders and receivers of handoff complete. The surveys consist of 14 questions, and include custom criteria expected during handoff at KDHCD RN to RN Handoff Scenarios measured: In the same unit (shift to shift handoff) In different departments (patient transfer/transition) Includes med/surg, critical care, mental health, emergency dept, maternal child health Resident Handoffs Measured Handoff within the same program (between Emergency Medicine, Psychiatry and Surgery residents)

Cullinan, Black Belt, Director, Application Development and Data Analysis. The Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare. Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois)
Next Steps Resident handoff data pending (surgery, psychiatry & emergency medicine) Review baseline data & analysis with stakeholders (May 10, 2018) to determine if there are any low hanging fruit to improve handoff based on comments from staff Post KHD Hub Implementation surveys set to be completed Sept/Oct 2018 Compare analysis pre and post KD Hub to determine and prioritize area(s) for opportunity in handoff

Quality Transparency Dashboard Definitions Medicare Hospital Compare Score: Hospital Compare provides information about the quality of care at over 4,000 Medicare-certified hospitals across the country. Hospital Compare was created through the efforts of the center for Medicare & Medicaid Services, in collaboration with organization representing consumers, hospitals, doctors, employers, accrediting organizations, and other federal agencies. Current Score: Based on internal data abstraction and analysis following national standardize definitions. See definitions below. CLABSI - Central line-associated Blood Stream Infection: A serious infection that occurs when germs enter the bloodstream through a central line. A central line is a special intravenous catheter (IV) that allows access to a major vein close to the heart and can stay in place for weeks or months. The value shown above is a Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR), which is the ratio of observed-to-expected infections during the measure period. SIRs below 1.00 indicate that the observed number of infections during the measure period was lower than would be expected under normal conditions, whereas values above 1.00 indicate that the observed number of infections was higher than expected. Limitation: In the calculation of the Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR), the CDC adjusts for differences between hospitals. However, patient risk factors are not taken into account. These patient-specific variables (e.g., poor skin integrity, immunosuppression) can increase the risk of developing a central line infection. Hence, the SIR for hospitals that care for more medically complex or immunosuppressed patients may not be adequately adjusted to account for those patient-specific risk factors. Colon SSI - Colon Surgical Site Infection: An infection (usually bacteria) that occurs after a person has colorectal surgery that occurs at the body site where the surgery took place. While some involve only the skin, others are more serious and can involve tissues under the skin, organs, or implanted material. The value shown above is a Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR), which is the ratio of observed-to-expected infections during the measured period. SIRs below 1.00 indicate that the observed number of infections during the measure period was lower than would be expected under normal conditions, whereas values above 1.00 indicate that the observed number of infections was higher than expected. Limitation: Some, but not all patient-specific risk factors are included in the adjustment of the SIR for these types of infections. However, not all relevant risk factors are included (e.g., trauma, emergency procedures). Hence, the SIRs for hospitals performing more complex procedures or with larger volumes of trauma or emergency procedures may not be adequately adjusted to account for those patient-specific risk factors.
NTSV - Nulliparous, Term, Singleton, Vertex Cesarean Birth Rate: The percentage of cesarean (surgical) births among first-time mothers who are at least 37 weeks pregnant with one baby in a head down position (not breech or transverse). Lower values indicate that fewer cesareans were performed in the hospital among primarily low risk, first-time mothers. Limitation: NTSV rates do not take into account certain obstetric conditions, such as placenta previa, that may make Cesarean delivery the safer route for both mother and infant. Sepsis Mortality: Percent of patients, with a severe infection, who die in the hospital. Most sepsis cases (over 90%) start outside the hospital. Lower percentage of death indicates better survival. Limitation: Use of discharge/administrative data is limiting since such data has lower specificity for diagnoses than clinical data. In addition, without risk adjustment for differences in patient-specific factors, comparing rates among hospitals is difficult. VTE - Venous thromboembolism: The measure of patients who develop deep vein clots who had not received potentially preventive treatment. Limitation: Although not adjusted to account for patient-specific risk factors, this rate is helpful in distinguishing a hospital s adherence to the best practice of administration of appropriate VTE prophylaxis to all appropriate patients. Total Knee/Hip Complications: Rate of patients electively admitted for primary total hip and/or knee replacement with a complication. Measured complications include heart attack, pneumonia, sepsis, surgical site bleeding, pulmonary embolism, mortality, joint infection, and wound infection. Limitation: Patient risk factors are not taken into account. Patient-specific variables (e.g., poor skin integrity, immunosuppression) can increase the risk of developing a complication. Patient Safety Indicator (PSI) 90: Overall score for serious complications is based on how often adult patients had certain serious, but potentially preventable, complications related to medical or surgical inpatient hospital care. This composite (or summary) measure Patient Safety and Adverse Events Composite is based on the following measures: (PSI 3) Pressure sores (pressure ulcers) (PSI 6) Collapsed lung that results from medical treatment (Iatrogenic pneumothorax) (PSI 8) Broken hip from a fall after surgery (in-hospital fall with hip fracture) (PSI 9) Bleeding or bruising during surgery (perioperative hemorrhage or hematoma) (PSI 10) Kidney and diabetic complications after surgery (postoperative acute kidney injury requiring dialysis) (PSI 11) Respiratory failure after surgery (postoperative respiratory failure) (PSI 12) Blood clots, in the lung or a large vein, after surgery (perioperative pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis) (PSI 13) Blood stream infection after surgery (postoperative sepsis) (PSI 14) A wound that splits open after surgery (postoperative wound dehiscence) (PSI 15) Accidental cuts and tears (unrecognized abdominopelvic accidental puncture or laceration)
Stroke Received Thrombolytic<3 Hours: Percent of acute ischemic stroke patients who meet criteria and arrive at the hospital with in 2 hours of last known well time and received clot busting medication within 3 hours of time last known well time. Providing timely evidence base treatment improves patient outcomes. Data is from American Heart Association (AHA), Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Patient Registry. Currently, CMS Hospital Compare does not collect this data. Overall Patient Rating: Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers (HCAHPS): A standardized survey instrument and data collection methodology for measuring patients' perspectives on hospital care. The HCAHPS Survey is administered to a random sample of patients continuously throughout the year to gain the patient's perspective of care. Hospital Compare Star Rating: Overall rating summarizes up to 57 quality measures across seven area of quality into a single star rating for each hospital. Hospitals report their data to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services through the Quality Reporting Program. Three star is the most common rating of a 1-5 star rating system.
