Improving Infusion Pump Safety: A Systematic Approach July 18, 2016
None Disclosures
Presentation Outline Background Compliance Library Optimization Alerts Overrides Edits Good Catches Alert Effectiveness Library Content Sustainment Lessons Learned 9/25/2013 11
Baylor Scott & White Health More than 900 patient care sites including 48 hospitals 5.1 million patient encounters annually More than 40,000 employees More than 6,000 affiliated physicians Scott & White Health Plan $9.7 billion in total assets $7.5 billion in total operating revenue 12
Project Background Between December 2005 February 2013 BSWH launched over 4,000 smart pumps in 12 facilities November 2012 Executive report from vendor indicated very low compliance with the dose error reduction systems (DERS) and high number of over ride alerts Historical data for implementation, training, policy, and quality data was limited No systematic approach for assessing metrics or communicating the benefit of DERS system
Strategies to Address Interdisciplinary team formed and charged with the following: Improve Utilization of the Pump Library Increase patient safety (Program Edits = Good Catches) Decrease the number of Alert Overrides (Alert Fatigue) 9/25/2013 15
Project Team Project Team ROLE Executive Sponsor Co-Team Leads Team Members Ad-Hoc members TITLE VP of Patient Safety / CPSO Director, Patient Safety Pharmacy Director- Medication Safety Director of Human Factors Clinical Technology Team Lead VP Nursing Operations VP Nursing Workforce VP of Professional Development Director of Clinical Nursing Excellence Vendor Clinical Nurse Consultant Vendor Pharmacy Consultant Staff nurses / managers for specialty councils 4
Human Factors Identified Barriers to Compliance Programming errors data entry & calculation Usability of the pumps Takes too long to program Not familiar with key steps in using the pumps Usability of the drug library Commonly used drugs not easily located Items not descriptive / intuitive Common doses not included in library Too many alerts Organization support No clear expectation about using the drug library No organized ways to learn
Process Modeling Fishbone Diagram
Lack of Drug Library Optimization Resulted In: High numbers of over rides and alerts and alert fatigue 22.3% overall rate of ALERTS / 100 programs 21.3% overall rate of OVER RIDES / 100 programs 60% of all alerts were from ten ISMP drugs Low number of drugs with hard limits Only 23% of the drugs had hard upper limits (HUL) Only 0.2 % of the drugs had hard lower limits (LUL) No scheduled library updates or owner No on-going formal process to access drugs
Rapid Cycle Methodology Overview Identify opportunities for improvement Identify barriers to use Identify best practices Target ISMP High Risk drugs 1 st Plan vendor report was source of problem identification Do several rapid cycle changes Reviewing a set of drugs Schedule drug library updates Remove non-formulary drugs Remove unused library CCA System-wide retraining Creating generic antibiotic selections System goals set and shared Champions identified Spread Good Catches Facilities developed improvement teams Act after reviewing the results Check - Monthly reports Share results w/ leaders and users Review feedback from users emails
Sharing and Spreading Communicate Results and Findings: To leadership, CNO s, managers, nursing councils Enhance communication to pharmacy leaders Post results in central location on system intranet site Discuss at specialty councils: Patient Safety Officers, Risk Managers, Professional Development, Critical Care Share at Safety and Best Care meetings Metrics added to the monthly dashboard report Set up email address for users to provide feedback On going dialogue with vendor to benchmark with other national users

Compliance is up and alert overrides are going down but are we safer?
100.0% 80.0% 17.1 Journey of Infusion Safety - BSWH/NTX Compliance increased by 129% and alerts 528% more effective Resulting in 217% more errors were avoided # of Errors Avoided Compliance to Drug Library Use Alerts effectiveness (# of alerts per avoided error) 4000 3500 3000 60.0% 2500 2000 40.0% 1500 20.0% 1000 2.7 500 0.0% 0
Sustainment Sustainment Hardwiring the improvement : Include Pump training with focus on why during orientation, Provide elearning option, just in time review Shift Huddles / rounding, Ongoing sharing of data with leaders, users, and committees Performance goals by CCA (i.e. Critical care, ED, etc.) Super user huddles started Created short demo videos Sharing good catch reports to front line staff Process Owners: Being defined by role / facility and assigning Receiving update to the pump CCA drug list Drug limits Running reports Orientation 16
Next Steps \ Lessons Learned Next Steps / Lessons Learned Next PDCA Cycle: Identify the most frequently used drugs by CCA Optimize pump screens so top 10 drugs are on the first screen Train facility person to run Med Net Data Develop can report to provide facilities routinely / automatic Reduce number of nuisance alarms Lessons Learned Through the Improvement Process: Communication for keeping users informed real time of compliance. Present data in a simple fashion Identify best practices among facilities and share Unintended consequences with software updates Unintended consequences of drug library optimization Ongoing support for facility teams to problem solve and maintain high compliance and engagement 18
