Application of the Performance Improvement Model 26
Performance Improvement Model Integral component for success and sustainability Series of steps that assist in identifying opportunities for improvement and implementing changes to improve patient outcomes Provides a systematic way for providers to conduct an internal assessment to identify changes in care practices, processes and protocols to demonstrate improvement 27
Performance Improvement Model Form an Interdisciplinary Team People who are involved in directly impacting pressure ulcer assessment, management and prevention Involve direct care staff from different shifts, units, departments and disciplines, as well as the In-service Educator and a senior leadership representative Team Leader - guides the team to achieving established goals & objectives, keeps the team on track according to the defined action plan Team Facilitator - focuses on promoting effective group dynamics Members - contribute information, share knowledge and their expertise to drive decision making and change 28
Performance Improvement Model Effective Team Strategies Use agendas and stick to them Assign a recorder for each meeting Maintain accurate meeting minutes with distribution to all members of the team Focus on fixing problems and not people no blaming! Use data and the facts to drive solutions Develop a work plan for the team and review and update it at each meeting 29
Performance Improvement Model Define a Clear Aim Statement Clearly define the specific outcome(s) the team wishes to accomplish Be clear, realistic, and include measurable performance indicators The following is an example of an Aim Statement: To reduce pressure ulcers for all nursing home residents so that: X % will have been assessed at admission X% of patients at risk for pressure ulcer will have an individualized care plan within 24 hours of admission 30
Performance Improvement Model Establish Measures of Success Ongoing internal monitoring to ensure that the plan has been implemented and the changes put into place are effective improvements Baseline period Re-measurement period Include both outcome measures (doing the right things) and process measures (doing things right) Example Process Measure: % of patients with risk assessment upon admission Example Outcome Measure: % of patients with pressure ulcer at discharge 31
32
Performance Improvement Model Use the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Cycle as a trial & learning method to test changes on a small scale to determine the impact and outcome of the change 33
