  1. QSource Update: Reducing Hospital Infections Manoj Jain, MD, MPH Medical Director, QSource 11 March, 2009 - Memphis 17 March, 2009 - Knoxville 26 March, 2009 - Nashville

  2. Objectives for Today: • Vision/Mission • Major Initiatives in TN by QIO and TN Center for Patient Safety (TCPS) on MRSA/SCIP • QSource/TCPS MRSA/SCIP Crosswalk • Model for Change Within the MDRO Module • Other Present and Future Initiatives • Preparing for the Future

  3. CMS Vision Statement for the National Healthcare Quality Improvement Program “The right care for every person,every time.”

  4. Safe Timely Effective Efficient Equitable Patient-centered The Institute of Medicine The “Right Care”

  5. History Recruitment Measures Intervention Evaluation MRSA and SCIP – QSource and TCPS Two Parallel, Overlapping, andSynergistic Initiatives

  6. Historical Perspectives: • Aug 2008 thru July 2011 – 3 year timeframe • Funding from CMS through QIOs • Clinical Advisors - Manoj Jain, MD, MPH; Marion Kainer, MD • Team Leaders – QSource Patient Safety Team • Jan 2008 thru Jan 2010 – 2 year timeframe • Funding from TN BC-BS Health Foundation thru THA TCPS • Clinical Advisors – Peter Pronovost, MD & Chris Goeschel; Marion Kainer, MD • Team Leader - V/P and Director TCPS

  7. Recruitment Outcomes: • MRSA 30 Hospitals • SCIP 22 Hospitals • MRSA 63 Hospitals • SCIP 69 Hospitals

  8. SCIP Measure Comparisons: • SCIP Inf-1 Antibiotic Administration within One Hour Before Incision • SCIP Inf-2 Use of Antimicrobial Recommended in Guideline • SCIP Inf-3 Antibiotic Discontinuation within 24 Hours of Surgery End • SCIP Inf-4 Glucose Control in Cardiac Surgery Patients • SCIP Inf-6 Appropriate Hair Removal • SCIP-VTE-1 Recommended VTE Prophylaxis Ordered • SCIP-VTE-2 Received Appropriate VTE Prophylaxis within 24 Hours After Surgery • SCIP Inf-1 Antibiotic Administration within One Hour Before Incision • SCIP Inf-2 Use of Antimicrobial Recommended in Guideline • SCIP Inf-3 Antibiotic Discontinuation within 24 Hours of Surgery End • SCIP Inf-4 Glucose Control in Cardiac Surgery Patients • SCIP Inf-6 Appropriate Hair Removal • SCIP Inf-7 Normothermia • SCIP-VTE-1 Recommended VTE Prophylaxis Ordered • SCIP-VTE-2 Received Appropriate VTE Prophylaxis within 24 Hours After Surgery

  9. MRSA Measure Comparisons: • MRSA-1 MRSA Infection Rate – MRSA healthcare-associated infections that are not present or incubating on admission to the identified unit • MRSA-2 Hospital Onset MRSA Incidence Rate Based on Clinical Cultures – a proxy measure of MRSA infections based on clinical cultures that have a hospital-onset Required: • # of Admissions to Specific Unit During Reporting Period or Facility Wide • # of Patient Days in Specific Unit During Reporting Period or Facility Wide • Hospital Onset MRSA (all cultures) Optional Measures Also Reportable (See Crosswalk)

  10. MRSA/SCIP Intervention Similarities: • Intensive Approach • Onsite visits • Assistance with AHRQSurvey • Teach TeamSTEPPSMethodology • Conference Calls • Webinars • Broader Approach • Regional Workshops • Statewide Meetings • Monthly Conference Calls • Assistance with AHRQSurvey • Webinars

  11. MRSA/SCIP Parallel Reporting Techniques: • SCIP – monthly throughTCPS Website • MRSA – monthly throughMDRO Module • SCIP – monthly throughTCPS Website • MRSA – monthly throughTCPS Website

  12. MRSA/SCIP Evaluation and Feedback Comparisons: • Monthly data feedback with comparisons/benchmarks • Monitor closely andintervene as needed • Monthly data feedbackwith comparisons/benchmarks • Provide assistanceas requested

  13. Summary of Parallel Initiatives: • Collecting Many of the Same Measures • AHRQ Survey • Monthly Reporting of Measures • Conference Calls with Clinical Advisors • Monthly Feedback of Data with Benchmarking Data/Comparison to Other Collaborators

  14. Health Research and Educational Trust (HRET) • Effort to Replicate Successes of Michigan Keystone Project Nationally • Conducting in Conjunction with American Hospital Association (AHA) • Comprehensive Unit-Based Safety Program (CUSP) – Can Be Focused on Any Topic • To Pilot Soon in 10 States Through QIOs and State Hospital Associations • TN is Ahead of the Game Thanks to THA/TCPS!

  15. MDRO Module – Present CDC/CMSModel for Change

  16. Key Elements of MDRO Module • Use of Module to Monitor at Least One Inpatient Unit with High MRSA Rates • Enables Hospitals to Conduct MRSA “Infection Surveillance” and Lab-ID Event Reporting” • Enables Hospitals to Collect Data on Process Measures (Hand Washing, Barrier Precautions, etc.) • Hospitals Can Also Choose to Collect Data on CDAD

  17. When MDRO Module goes “Live”: • Statewide QSource Trainings in Collaboration with Dr. Marion Kainer on the Electronic Tool/Module • Tentatively Scheduled for April 2009 • To be Held in 3 Cities Across the State • CMS Baseline Timeframe Began 2/1/09 • Monthly Data Entry Expectation

  18. Other QSource and TCPS Initiatives: QSource: • Crossing the Continuum – NH and Hospital Pressure Ulcer Project • Drug Safety – Looking at Potentially Inappropriate Medications and Drug-to-Drug Interactions in Part D Data TCPS: • Central Line Blood Stream Infections (CLBSI)

  19. Reporting Hospital Quality Data for Annual Payment Update (RHQDAPU): • March 12th THA/QSource Webinar on the Release of the Dry Run Version of Hospital Specific Reports on AHRQ Measures • Latest HQA Preview Report for Discharge Quarters Q3 07 through Q2 08 – Withholding Period Ended 2/17/09; to go Live on Hospital Compare March 2009

  20. Next QSource Statewide Abstraction Clinic: • March 19, 2009 from 9:00-10:30 CST • To Highlight Changes to Q2/Q3 2009 Specifications Manual and Abstraction Guidelines

  21. Why Do Some Hospitals Succeed?JAMA May 23/30, 2001 vol285, No 20 • Shared Goals for Improvement • Substantial Administrative Support • Strong Physician Leadership • Credible Data Feedback

  22. 5 Strategies to Stay Off “The List”! • Prepare – Know Your Numbers • Have a Team to Deploy/Assist with Efforts • Learn and Teach QI to All – IP/Nurse Manager/ Front Line Staff • Make a Business Case for Infection Prevention • Get Leadership Engaged and Boards on Board

  23. What QI/IP Staff Need to Be Doing NOW • You are the Change Agent and Knowledge Base for Quality Improvement and Infection Prevention in Your Institution. • Culture Change/Work Together • Institute Concurrent Care Management • Standardize Infection Processes (Use “Opt Out” Approach for Order Sets) • Conduct Informal “RCA” of Cases that Fall Out • Engage Physicians • ASK Frontline Staff and Feedback Data Regularly
