OB Adverse Event Measures Beyond EED, HENs are primarily reporting on birth trauma and OB trauma through PSI measures (PSIs 17, 18, and 19): 22-23 HENs C-Section rate (of some sort): 6 HENs OB Hemorrhage measures: 4HENs Only one HEN is reporting any measure for pre-eclampsia 11
OB Adverse Event Metrics on Pre- Eclampsia and OB Hemorrhage Pre-Eclampsia Percentage of women age >= 18 years in Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium with Preeclampsia/Eclampsia: Premier baseline for 238 hospitals =3.92% OB Hemorrhage Peripartum hysterectomy/total # mothers: Carolinas baseline for 14 hospitals =.12% Hysterectomies/total deliveries: Dignity baseline for 29 hospitals =.17% OB Post-partum hemorrhage from billing data: LifePoint baseline for 40 hospitals= 1.4% Percentage of women age >= 18 years in Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium with Maternal Hemorrhage: Premier baseline for 238 hospitals = 2.3% 12
Rate of Birth Trauma-Injury to Neonate (PSI-17) per 100 Births, Improvement from Baseline
Rate of Obstetric Trauma-Vaginal Delivery With (PSI-18) and Without Instrument (PSI-19) per 100 Deliveries
Leading HENs Ascension: Meeting benchmark on birth trauma (PSI- 17) and strong improvement on brachial plexus and neonatal mortality, with 47-49 hospitals (pictures next) Carolinas: 27% improvement on PSIs 18 and 19 and sustaining benchmark on PSI 17 w/18 hospitals Ohio: 26 and 23% improvement on PSIs 18 and 19 w/53 hospitals Nevada: 0 injuries to neonate in 4 of past 6 months; 34% decrease on PSI 18 w/12 hospitals LifePoint: 22% decrease in overall OB harms 15
Nevada: Top HEN Improver and Lowest 3-month Rate for PSI-18 16
Ascension: Brachial Plexus 17
Ascension: Neonatal Mortality Decrease 18
LifePoint: Overall OB Harms (billing data) 19

Copyright, The Joint Commission Under Consideration: PROPOSED Sentinel Event Definition A patient safety event (not primarily related to the natural course of the patient s illness or underlying condition), that reaches a patient and results in any of the following: Death Permanent harm Severe temporary harm * Intervention is required to sustain life * As defined by AHRQ: bodily or psychological injury that is not permanent (including pain and disfigurement) that interferes significantly with functional ability and quality of life.
Copyright, The Joint Commission Under Consideration: PROPOSED Ob Reviewable Sentinel Events An event is also considered sentinel if it is one of the following (even if the outcome was not death, severe temporary or permanent harm, or intervention required to save life)---
Copyright, The Joint Commission Severe Maternal Morbidity Definition ACOG, CDC, and SMFM: A patient safety event that occurs in the perinatal period (prenatal, intrapartum, and up to 24 hours postpartum) that requires the transfusion of 4 or more units of blood products (fresh frozen plasma, packed red blood cells, whole blood, platelets) and/or admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Note: Admission to the ICU is defined by the World Health Organization as admission to a unit that provides 24-hour medical supervision and is able to provide mechanical ventilation and continuous vasoactive drug support.
