Staff Stability: Why this is Critical? Turnover has a significant effect on quality 13
Quality (higher value = lower quality) Staff Turnover Vs. Quality 140 Turnover Targets Based on Quality Figure 1: Hypothesized Quality-Turnover Relationship 120 100 20% 50% 80 60 40 20 Staff Stability is a Precondition of quality! 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 Turnover (percent) 14
Polling Question Do you know your rate of Turnover? Turnover Rate Less than 25% Between 25% - 50% Between 51% and 75% 52% 80% 2012 2013 Between 76% and 100% Greater than 100% 68% 2014 2015 75% 15
Increased Turnover = Decreased Quality Contractures Physical restraints Catheter use Pressure ulcers Psychoactive drugs Quality of care deficiencies Turnover Quality Castle, et al 2006 16
Increased Turnover = Decreased Quality CNA s report the task neglected when short staffed: Range of Motion Hydration Feeding Bathing Castle, et al 2000 17
Turnover Adds Up 18
Staff Stability: Why this is Critical? How much?? Centers frequently review turnover data but infrequently realize how much money is associated with that figure. Example: A nursing home choosing between operating at the 25 th percentile versus the 75 th percentile of turnover, i.e. between 38% and 78%, would experience a cost saving of $668,252. 19

[Name of Antipsychotic] is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis. 26
Staff Stability A NURSING HOME PROVIDER PERSPECTIVE Lynn McNicoll, MD, Consultant Physician Faculty for Healthcentric Advisors and Associate Professor of Medicine at Alpert Medical School of Brown University 2/10/2016 27
Provider Vulnerability Physicians, PA s, and NP s are reliant on the information from nurses and allied health providers Providers are usually not in the Nursing Home during a medical crisis or during significant clinical changes Nurses are our eyes and ears Decisions are made with information provided 28
Troubling Encounters for Providers Covering nurses: I m just here for the day Recurring patterns with the same nurse: I don t know why but when I am on, everything goes wrong Not being part of the solution: I don t know what s wrong with her, you tell me, you re the doctor 29
Proper Modes of Communication Be prepared to answer questions (labs, vitals, history, exam) Use proper judgement for urgent versus non-urgent calls Call immediately for head injury Avoid calling at 2 am to report iron tablet not given the day before Use SBAR Use INTERACT Tools 30
What Providers Value? Nurses who know the resident well and can distinguish between normal variations in behavior versus abnormal changes that need to be addressed especially important for residents with dementia Nurses who take ownership of process no turfing 31
What can providers do? Answer pages right away Be respectful, say hello, know their names Be patient and listen, don t interrupt If information not readily available, ask them to gather information and you will call back Encourage RN to provide their input (re: diagnosis, treatment options) Be thankful 32
Why is this important? Well-known impact that improved RN-provider communication has on patient safety and reducing medical errors Nurse satisfaction is directly proportional to the respect they receive from providers Stress levels can be greatly reduced with better communication among health care professionals NH are struggling to maintain provider coverage but that doesn t mean they should accept rude behavior from providers Improved RN satisfaction leads to better staff retention and engagement 33
