Compilation of Implementation Strategies • 6 process • 68 implementation strategies and definitions Powell BJ, McMillen JC, Proctor EK, Carpenter CR, Griffey RT, Bunger AC, . . . York, J. L. (2012). A compilation of strategies for implementing clinical innovations in health and mental health. Medical Care Research and Review: MCRR, 69(2), 123-157.
Examples of Strategies Powell et al. (2012)
Characteristics of the Evidence-based practice/Innovation • Advantages • Compatibility with values and needs • Complexity • Feasible • Cost Titler (2008)
Communication • Mass media • Opinion leaders –local, respected, influential, competent, trusted to evaluate knowledge • Change champions- local, expert clinicians, passionate, committed to improve quality, positive working relationships • Consultation by experts • Hallway chats, one-to-one
Users • Stakeholders • Adoption of practice varies • Audit and feedback changes behavior • Opinion leaders • Change agents
Social System • Organizational resources • Organizational size • Organizational culture • Readiness for change • Structure supporting EBP • Leadership support
implementation Example EBP: Uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact at birth Map: Integrated quality improvement and translational research model
Define Measure Analyze Improve Innovation Communication Social System Users Control Feedback Feedback Adoption
Problem Statement • In January of 2014, The Joint Commission began mandating that hospitals with > 1,100 births per year, report the percent of newborns that were fed breast milk only from the time of birth to the time of discharge. • From July 2012 to December 2012, 53% of eligible newborns at TNMC were fed breast milk exclusively.
Define • Data recorded manually by Lactation Consultants for every newborn until automated in August 2013 with OneChart report • Goal: top 10th percentile of UHC • Top 10th percentile value unknown as new core measure and comparison data not yet available
Measures Exclusive breastfeeding # Newborns fed breast milk only since birth # Single, term newborns discharged alive Skin-to-skin contact at birth # Newborns with immediate, uninterrupted SSC until after 1st feed # Term, singleton, healthy newborns
Analyze Supplementation • 50% of breastfed newborns were supplemented with non-breastmilk (Jan’13) Skin-to-skin contact (SSC) at birth • Literature review for evidence-based best practices revealed SSC to be the hospital practice most highly correlated with exclusive breastfeeding during hospitalization • 20% of healthy term newborns received skin-to-skin contact at birth (mother interviews, Jan’13)
Analyze Benefits of skin-to-skin contact at birth • Physiologic stability • Respirations, temperature, glucose levels, decreased crying & stress • Promotes attachment behaviors • Short-term and long-term • Increased exclusive breastfeeding in hospital • Longer duration of breastfeeding
Improve – Characteristics of Innovation • Skin-to-skin contact at birth has been recommended by leading health organizations since 1998 (WHO, AAP, ABM, NRP) • Relatively simple • Requires change in work flow • Numerous benefits
Improve - Communication Increase understanding of advantages of innovation • You-tube videos of SSC • Emails • Links to websites • Research abstracts • Unit meetings • Class for professionals • One-to-one discussions with change champions/opinion leaders • Bulletin boards
Improve - Users • Nurses & Providers • Opinion leaders • Change champions
Improve – Social System Provided structure for innovation: • Shared governance structure • Quality triad • Policy/procedure
Control – July 2013 • Audit-feedback • Skin-to-skin contact weekly, individual • Monthly exclusive breastfeeding %
Control – January 2014 • Monthly/Quarterly skin-to-skin percentages • Feedback for individual trends • 10th percentile – Are we there?
