Goals of Talk Welcome old and new on our shared journey Recapitulate context, history, issues, beliefs, energy Keep moving forward Exciting agenda Focus on tasks at hand Invoke an operational tempo of positive change and inevitability of improvement Zoom in Details Low hanging fruit Zoom out Strategic impact action Provoke controversy Questions for CEO s Been there done that (2008) It worked Alternative Options: Ad Hoc Audit (specific metrics) Formal Data Platforms (NQF 2012)
Topics Dramatic Improvements in Quality and Safety Vignettes from the Sharp End Infusion Device Invention, Innovation, Local Success (1985 2004) Crisis, Conferences, and Successes (2010 2012) How Meaningful Use is driving IV/IT Integration The Future is Not Evenly Distributed > Adoption!! Questions for CEO s or more assertive
DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENTS IN QUALITY AND SAFETY
Airlines: Technology PLUS Policy
Business Process Re Engineering, Deregulation, Consolidation SABRE ALFRED E. KAHN, KENNEDY Airline Deregulation Act of 1978
Analogy: Airlines to Healthcare SABRE = EPIC Expensive, complex technology to massively scale an activity while increasing quality and safety Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 = Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 Increased competition focused on value and outcomes Intense Consolidation Cost of quality (infrastructure) is very high Amortize those costs by acquisitions

Tech Push and Clinical Pull In 1972.. a letter requesting one [xxxx] Infusion Pump, Model No. xxx, for $750, for each of the two cardiac operating rooms. The vasoactive roller coaster became far less common. Edward Lowenstein: A Journey of the Heart This is No Humbug 2003 Kitz et al.
Critical Care These first generation IVAC devices were effective but bulky. when we arrived at the SICU, the entire system of infusions was changed to conform to SICU protocols, often leading to another period of instability. This effect was particularly vexing since the monitoring was being changed to the ICU system at the same time. Nursing protocols insisted drug infusion solutions be prepared by ICU nurses in the Unit. Furthermore, the drug concentrations employed in the Unit were often greater than in the OR in order to avoid post operative positive water balance. [Lowenstein]

Industry: Tech Push 1987 Tech Push vs Clincal Pull
Clinical Pull : Multiple Lines for O.R. and ICU 1988 1 syr; 3 modes; Std Drugs; Color Labels Tech Push vs Clincal Pull
Avoiding the Vasoactive Roller Coaster Tech Push vs Clincal Pull
ANESTHESIOLOGY NEWS MAY 1989... Can be programmed for any of three infusion modes. In Standard Mode, concentration is programmed in mg/ml and dose in mcg/min... Once a dose has been entered, the pump automatically calculates the effective rate in ml/h and displays it as well... Tech Push vs Clincal Pull

2014!! MU Stage 2 > Pump Integration 2014 EHR Certification Criteria (45CFR170.314) 314(a)(1) CPOE provider order entry 314(a)(10) DRUG FORMULARY CHECKS Access to at least one internal or external formulary 314(a)(16) EMAR electr med admin record Track medications from order to administration using assistive technologies in conjunction with emar If 1,10,16 in place then inherently drug libraries MUST be harmonized with the standard formulary (Sims) Happening at Partners Healthcare today: one formulary, one order set, one drug library, one standard concentration, common limits (etc)
DO WE NEED QUESTIONS FOR CEO S, OR CLINICAL QUALITY INDICATOR METRICS DRIVEN BY DATA PLATFORMS FROM PUMPS
Questions for CEO s Have you had an IV drug harm patient harm incident with death, patient injury, or ICU transfer requiring reporting or deliberations of a senior committee? Have you been cited by Joint Commission for syringe or drug labeling non compliance or any other IV medication issue? With what frequency are Drug Library Updates performed wirelessly using enterprise security and authentication standards? Are you tracking % utilization of Drug Libraries?
Questions for CEO s Are you compliant with Meaningful Use Stage 2 for Standard Formularies, CPOE, and emar with assistive technologies? Is Drug Library Management done by a multidisciplinary team? Are Drug Library entries harmonized with POE, emar, and the Standard Formulary (audit item!!!)
Data from Pumps >> Clinical Quality Indicators Percent of smart infusion pumps linked to a wireless network; Proportion of smart infusion pumps in the institution; Timeliness of drug administration; Compliance with use of pump data gathering and/or safety features; Percent of scanned nurse IDs at the point of care; and Rates of averted adverse events.
