Opportunity for ImprovementOpportunity for Improvement
To improve the rates of quality measures specific to the Pneumonia Core measure:
• Antibiotic Timing• Appropriate Antibiotic Administered• Blood Culture Collection • Oxygen Level Assessment• Pneumococcal Vaccination: > 65 years • Influenza Vaccination: > 50 years• Adult Smoking Cessation Counseling
GoalsGoals• Initial antibiotic administered
within 4 hours of arrival at hospital
• Appropriate antibiotic administered
• Blood cultures collected prior to initial antibiotic dose
• Oxygen level assessed within initial 24 hours of arrival
• Pneumococcal Vaccine administered to patients > 65 years old prior to discharge
• Influenza Vaccine administered to patients > 50 years old prior to discharge
• Smoking Cessation Counseling completed prior to discharge
PlanPlan• Improve initial antibiotic dose timing by providing appropriate antibiotics
in Omni-Cell in ED and as floor stock in hospital
• Meet with resident staff regarding ordering medications as “STAT” or ‘NOW” for initial therapy
• Improve blood cultures drawn prior to antibiotic administration timing
• Revise Pneumococcal and Influenza Standing Order Policy after review of CDC recommendations and estimation of influenza vaccine supply is determined.
• Re-education of hospital units/departments
Plan • Influenza Vaccination posters placed in patient rooms, general population
areas and all Out-patient sites. (October-February)
• Vaccination audit project for proper screening for 2 NEWS, 3 NEWS, 6NE, 7SW. Analyze and provide unit and nurse specific performance data to managers
• Provide monthly outlier reports to stakeholders to identify trends and opportunities for improvement
• Provide monthly reports to units with department specific results
• Provide overall performance data to the Pneumonia Task Force, General Medicine Service Line, and National Hospital Quality Measures Committee
Next StepsNext Steps• Revise Standing Pneumonia Orders. Transition from CAP to general
pneumonia• Nursing Home Patient Initiative: Floors/ICU• ED QI Project: On-going• Participation on Stroke Team: Disease Specific Certification through
JCAHO. Pneumovax Screening required. • Standard verbiage for Smoking Cessation on discharge forms• Smoking Task Force Reconvene• Pneumovax/Influenza In-service to inpatient units• Participation in the UHC Core Measures Networking Collaborative
2005-2006
Definition: Pneumonia patients who had an assessment of arterial oxygenation by arterial blood gas measurement or pulse oximetry within 24 hours prior to or after arrival at the hospital / All pneumonia patients.
Data Source: Original data extracted from LUMC charts by RNs.
Analysis: LUMC pneumonia patients receive oxygen assessment as a standard of practice. LUMC performance is stable with an average of 100%.

Definition: Pneumonia patients who receive initial antibiotic within 4 hours after hospital arrival / All pneumonia patients who received antibiotics within 36 hours after arrival.
Data Source: Original data extracted from LUMC charts by RNs.
Analysis: LUMC performance is at 66%. A temporary improvement occurred from February to September 2005. A team of physicians and nurses are actively working to ensure that all patients with pneumonia receive initial antibiotics within 4 hours of arrival.

Definition: Pneumonia patients age 50 and older who were screened for influenza vaccine status and were administered the vaccine prior to discharge, if indicated.
Data Source: Original data extracted from LUMC charts by RNs.
Analysis: LUMC performance is at 61%. National shortages of 2004/05 and local vaccine supply delay in October 2005 should be considered during analysis.
