Medical Center Navicent Health Macon, GA 637 beds, 5 adult ICUs (86 beds) 2015-94 VAE, 2016-74 VAE 2015-10 VAP, 2016-8 VAP
Aim and Background Aim How much improvement? By when? For whom? By 9/30/17, decrease Ventilator Associated Events 30% (from 74 to 52) in the five adult ICUs. Background Why this project and why now? While VAP rate <10, the five adult ICUs underperformed compared to NDNQI and HRET HIIN benchmarks. Ventilator utilization rates on the rise with higher acuity; need to focus on preventing VAE. 9
But, our PVAP rate is low! Resting on our laurels of low VAP for several years complacency in 5 adult ICUs (86 beds) In 2013, CDC criteria changed to VAE= VAC+ IVAC+ PVAP PVAP no longer the only issue- keeping up with the change Impact of bench-marking: 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% HRET HIIN: our VAE rates nearly double average of hosp average NDNQI-4Q under-performance % ICUs that outperform NDNQI >500 bed mean 0% 10 1Q15 2Q15 3Q15 4Q15 1Q16 2Q16 % out-perform target
Methodology VAE task force with MD, executives, interdisciplinary Use of 6 sigma DMAIC and PDSA/ rapid cycle change Deep dive RCA trends Data- benchmark HRET HIIN, NDNQI Process and outcome measures Multi-modal education Front line and leader engagement Participation in HRET HIIN AI fellowship
Key Performance Measures Outcome Measures: How is the system performing? What are the results? VAE incidence overall and by unit VAC, IVAC, VAP incidence rates Benchmark comparisons: GHA HEN, HRET HIIN, NDNQI Process Measures: Are the parts or steps in the process or system performing as planned? CLRT, Turn q 2 hr, HOB 30, CHG, oral hygiene, hi-lo ETT, separate oral/ ETT suction- observation/ interview/ documentation audit Balance Measures: What happened to the system as we improve the outcome and process measures? Ventilator days LOS for ventilator patients Mortality rate for ventilator patients 12

ICU mobility: with a smile on his face!
Cost savings Reduced VAE by 60% (2016-78, 2017-31) Met GHA HRET HIIN two year 20% target reduction in year one (our baseline was 84) HRET HIIN cost calculator= $ 21,000 / VAC Total estimated savings due to VAE: $987,000
Benchmarking HRET HIIN benchmarks both IVAC and VAC (=CDC VAE definition which includes VAC, IVAC, VAP) VAC- FiO2 and/or PEEP for 2 days IVAC- FiO2 and/or PEEP for 2 days, infection S/S (T >38, wbc>12,000), antibiotics started in infection window/ continued for 4 days

Celebrating milestones Respiratory staff and managers- Pay for performance- BPR goals Individual and group Good Catch, +feedback re posted data Admin and leadership rounds- observations and feedback Huddles, staff meetings, interdisciplinary rounds Pizza party for overall reduction in VAE and bundle compliance
Goal vs Outcome Goal Results Stat us VAE in five adult ICUs by 25% in 12 months by 44.6% (from 74 to 41) met transport-related VAE by 25% by 79% met Achieve ventilator bundle compliance >90% Out-perform benchmark NDNQI the majority of quarters from 4Q16-4Q17 Out-perform benchmark HRET HIIN majority of months since October 2016 Average 98%.

Reflections/ Lessons Learned Lessons Learned Overcoming key barriers build in EMR- refocus IT and engage Executive Sponsors cultural change to embrace need to reduce VAE- leadership change, benchmark comparison, reporting through HARM Committee structure prior unsuccessful attempt to implement mobility and PAD- nurse-driven mobility protocol, PAD in EMR Surprises Key clinical leaders reluctant to adopt changes Failure of timely documentation triggered VAEs Insufficient working suction regulators, bedside patient chairs, among others LOS and vent days did NOT drop as VAE rate decreased. We did see a 12% in vent 3d mortality Advice Lessons Learned Complete RCAs and establish trends, use national benchmarks to drive initiatives Evaluate documentation to assure not causative of VAE Develop transport protocol to eliminate procedure related breaks in circuit Keep an eye on all KPIs 37
2018 action items: Firm up PAD utilization via intensivists, Pharmacy, Nursing staff Implement mobility protocol Build EMR reports for PAD/ mobility Expand usage of hi-lo ETT. Regular status check with front line staff re barriers and needed resources. 38
2018 continued Real time hip phone for alerts for vent setting changes in PEEP and FiO2 Expand electronic hand hygiene monitoring system from CVICU to all ICUs Ongoing education and monitoring Intensivist model, including NP, expanded to 3 of 5 ICU s Dedicated ICU PT s to support mobility
