So what does top management need from a quality programme?
Do no harm!!!!
BUT HOW????
6
What is quality of care?
In short:1. The outcome is what you expected (no mistakes, no surprises)2. Service intervention (treatment) is based on the best available
evidence (appropriate care)
(Institute of Medicine, Committee to Design a Strategy for Quality Review and Assurance in Medicine, 1990)
“Degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge”

Clinical Pathways

First, define quality at your place (cont’d)
Appropriate management checkliste.g. adult patients with acute stroke
• Received treatment in an ASU • Received CT/MRI of brain ≤12 hrs of A&E registration• Not to give short acting antihypertensive (nifedipine) ≤3 days of
admission• 7-day case-fatality• Screened for swallowing disorder ≤24 hrs of admission• Received aspirin/plavix ≤48 hrs of admission• Received warfarin for AF• Assessed by PT ≤
3 days of admission• Assessed by OT ≤
7 days of admission• Prescribed aspirin/plavix on discharge

Standards

Second, diagnose qualityIncident reporting system
14
Essential local management tool for dealing with individual incidents, but how can this
information improve system quality?
Second, diagnose quality (cont’d)
Advanced Incident Reporting System (AIRS)
15
Advanced Incident Reporting System:
13,000 incidents per annum

17
Second, diagnose quality (cont’d)
Mandatory reporting of 9 types of Sentinel Events
1. Surgery / interventional procedure involving the wrong patient or body part.2. Retained instruments or other material after surgery / interventional procedure requiring re-
operation or further surgical procedure.3. Haemolytic blood transfusion reaction resulting from ABO incompatibility.4. Medication error resulting in major permanent loss of function
or death of a patient.5. Intravascular gas embolism resulting in death or neurological damage.6. Death of an in-patient from suicide (including home leave). 7. Maternal death or serious morbidity associated with labor or delivery.8. Infant discharged to wrong family or infant abduction.9. Unexpected death or serious disability reasonably believed to be preventable (not related to
the natural course of the individual’s illness or underlying condition). Assessment should be based on clinical judgment, circumstances and context of the incident.

• Report within 24 hrs• Investigation team within 48 hours &
may include external experts• Root Cause Analysis within 6 weeks• Final report by hospital CE to HAHO
within 8 weeks• Local follow-up action• Publication of learnings

e.g. Esophagectomy audit showed 11% mortality at first audit (1997 to 2001). This improved to 5% in the second audit in 2006.

“3 checks, 5 rights”
• Nurses from 7 hospitals (n = 64)1st check:10 different interpretations 2nd check:11 different interpretations 3rd check:11 different interpretations
1st CHECK 2nd CHECK 3rd CHECK
Check Patient Check drug Check dosage
Take MAR Check when taking drug from trolley Check 5Rs
Check doctor’s prescription for 5 Rights
Check drug in patient’s bin for 5R Before pouring out drug
Take drug from cupboard to trolley
Check drug bottle against MAR After pouring drug
Take bottle from trolley Take drug from pack / bottle / container
After returning drug to trolley and before giving to patient
Take drug from bottle / packs Check when removing cap When closing the bottle
Check before taking drug from patient’s bin / cupboard / trolley / container

Before giving drug to patient
Check the drug pack Check after taking / pouring drug out Check MAR when giving drug to patient

“3 checks, 5 rights”– not even the experts agree
Authors 1st check 2nd check 3rd checkBigelow-Kemp & Pillitteri
Read the label for name, dose, and route as select the bottle or package
Recheck the labe l before pour it or open the package
Recheck the label against the order before return the stock bottle to the shelf or dispose of the package
Houghton & Whittow
Read the label on the bottle before removing it from the shelf
Read the label on the bottle before pouring out the dose
Check once more (right medicine & right dose) to ensure taking it to right patient
Taylor et al Select medication from the drawer compare with the medication order. Check expiration dates
Check each medication package, card, or preparation with the order as it is poured
Recheck all medications once again (for one patient) with the medication order before taking them to patient
Verolyn Barnes Bolander
Compare medication label with medication card, read entire label, including expiration date
Make certain dose has been calculated accurately.
Check medication card against medicine bottle again when return it to storage

Third, do something – programmes and systems to improve quality (cont’d)
Numerous other HA programmes to improve quality, for example:• HA Drug Formulary to ensure appropriate use of medication• Hand Hygiene program• Electronic prescribing• Consistent bar coding to reduce risk of patient identification error• Patient consent systems• Patient falls programme• Pressure sores programme• Engineering risk management
29
Incentives for quality
• US Medicare Pay for Performance• 33 clinical indicators over 5
conditions• 250 hospitals• 2% or 1% bonus if perform well• Led to significant savings through
reduced length of stay, less complications, less readmission
Defined evidence-based, consensus clinical measures•Acute myocardial infarction (AMI)
•Aspirin at arrival•Aspirin prescribed at discharge•ACEI for LVSD•Smoking cessation advice/counseling•Beta blocker prescribed at discharge•Beta blocker at arrival•Thrombolytic received within 30 minutes of hospital arrival•PCI received within 120 minutes of hospital arrival•Inpatient mortality rate
•Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)•Aspirin prescribed at discharge •CABG using internal mammary artery •Prophylactic antibiotic received within one hour prior to surgical incision •Prophylactic antibiotic selection for surgical patients •Prophylactic antibiotics discontinued within 24 hours after surgery end time •Inpatient mortality rate•Post operative hemorrhage or hematoma•Post operative physiologic and metabolic derangement
•Heart failure•Left Ventricular Systolic assessment •Detailed discharge instructions •ACEI or ARB for LVSD
•Smoking cessation advice/counseling

Finally, monitor progress
Three key means:1. Clinical KPIs2. Patient survey, patient complaints3. Ongoing audit (not only one-off)
31
Finally, monitor progress (cont’d)
Clinical KPIs routinely used for monitoring Cluster and Hospital quality performance:• Standardised admission rate for A&E Patients• Utilisation of big gun antibiotics in acute general hospital (per 1,000 beddays)• Unplanned readmission rate
- Unplanned readmission rate for fracture hip- Unplanned readmission rate for stroke
• MRSA bacteraemia per 1,000 patient days• Surgical site infection (SSI) rate (under development)• Catheter associated bloodstream infection (SABSI) rate in ICU per 1,000 catheter days• % diabetes mellitus patients in outpatients with HbA1c checked in 12-month period• Day surgery and same day surgery rates• % of cancer patients requiring radical radiotherapy started within 28 days• % of adult acute stoke patients with CT scan of brain performed within 12 hours of A&E
registration• % of patients indicated for surgery on fracture hip with surgery performed within 2 days after
admission through A&E• Various waiting time indicators
32
Finally, monitor progress (cont’d)
• Next phase of surgical clinical audit is 30,000 operations, using web-based data form, and 30 day post-operation check, adjusting for patient risk
