The HHS Afghan experience with EmONC implementation science Wednesday, January 20, 2011 WHO- CARE Meeting Brian J. McCarthy, MD, MSc
Take home messages Two Questions you have to answer Have we chosen the right things to do? Are we doing those things right? The unit of operation is the chain Process for improving the quality of life & care Quality is a local product, everyone s responsibility, and is job #1 Get the count right.or at least close
The creation of the MIM Storyboard Management Future Plans Problem Definition Surveillance Performance Assessment + Standardization Monitoring & Evaluation Intervention Are we doing the right things? Are we doing things right? = The MIM Storyboard

What is a POA? (Patient Outcome assessment) The POA is an adaptation of the CDC Patient Flow Analysis (PFA). Nine (9) facility observational posts are manned continuously 24/7 to collect data on all pregnant patients admitted to the hospital over a 28 day period. The purpose of the POA is to collect data on patient flow, clinical practices in the monitoring of labour, delivery, caesarean sections, post partum and neonatal care, in order to provide up-dated information to MOPH/RBH for decision making for improving the care of mothers and babies
POA III at RBH Outcome results for 28 POA III days 1244 women delivered 1273 newborns (25 twins, 2 triplet) 2 maternal deaths 77 total perinatal deaths 58 deaths in newborns 2500+g Perinatal Mortality Rate (PMR) Total (68.3/1000), real (~110/1000) 2500+ (26.5/1000) Very high risk population 16.3% LBWR C-section rate 6.6% Vaginal delivery 2500+ = 20.6/1000 C-section 2500+ PMR = 75/1000 Multiple gestations 17% of all perinatal mortality Labor room 43% no BP or FHR monitored 63.8% no BP 56.2 no FHR Average patient to MW ratio is 10:1 Can be as high as 22:1 Delivery room 78.4 no BP or FHR monitored 85.8 no BP 89.8 no FHR Average patient to MW ratio is 8:1 Can be as high as 18:1 High risk 2500+ births identified in the OPD Appropriate monitoring (PMR = 31/1000) Inappropriate monitoring (PMR = 120/1000) 55% of high risk delivered by Midwives C-section Decision to Incision (DI) time 12% in < 30 minutes 26% > 2 hours When decision made in the OPD, no DI < 1 hr
POA III (October, 2008) vs POA IV (February, 2010) 28% reduction in MMR associated with EmOC system Reversal of General Anesthesia to spinal anesthesia (95% to 5%, then 5% to 95%) DIT less than 30 min from 12% to 23% No change in the rates of monitoring in Labor and delivery room No reduction in 2500+ BWSMR
The Chain takeaway messages The Chain is essential for achieving the maternal and newborn goals of MDG 4 & 5 Success is about planning, implementing, and evaluating the chain using the MIM Storyboard. The Chain is a system solution that is best described by 5 Rights, x 2, plus 1 Is best developed as a whole, and NOT in segments develop the infrastructure of the chain for coverage, matching skill with need, defining the referral pattern, altering risk factors through prevention. The Chain must be ethically guided No surveillance without service, no service without surveillance Do no harm Promote ethical equivalency in patient care along the Chain The Chain must: Get the count right...account for every mother and child Match skill with need Eliminate the 4 delays through its referral pattern Alter risk factors...have a prevention focus BE SAFE! Avoid outcome displacement Account for all mothers and newborns Link outcome indicators with process indicators. Assure & Assess EmOC package safety... Quality Improvement Process (QIP) helps assure the package is life saving, rather than life threatening. Safely, within 30, 24/7. The Chain s quality is a local product, is everyone s responsibility, and is job 1! Process for establishing a quality culture in the chain Process for developing the Local Indicator Matrix (LIM) LIM Scaled up using the IHI model for quality improvement collaborative (QIC) Quality services will require data being translated into information for local action at service faculties by empowered local staff.

What is the best way for HHS to serve MOPH? WHO s 5 C s with all our partners (Collaborate, coordinate, cooperate, communicate, to build community) MOPH USAID H4+, JICA Short term (6 months) Strengthen EmONC safety program at RBH Assure RBH chain integrity Initiate development of the MCH FETP Implementation Science team Intermediate (6 18 months) Fully developed RBH EmONC safety program Initiate Kabul EmOC Safety program Initiate MCH FETP Long term ( 12 months to 36 months) Country wide EmONC safety program Established MCH FETP Competency based EmONC certification OB/GYN residency program Hospital accreditation process for EmOC services JCI collaboration
How can Dr Dalil help HHS serve the people of Afghanistan?
