  1. ICU Collaborative Outcomes Congress Landmark Medical Center September 22, 2009

  2. Landmark’s Team

  3. Daily rounds included team lead, clinical pharmacist, and individual nursing staff. • The nurses voiced the following concerns: • Nurses interrupting patient care to give data to each discipline separately. This could cause a decrease in nursing care time spent at bedside • There was an opportunity for patient care to be fragmented when each discipline focuses on their own goals for the patient

  4. Disciplines will round together daily Projected Results: 1.Daily goals will be identified by utilizing input from all disciplines 2. Improved patient outcomes resulting from this collaboration of care 3. Increased SAQ scores in the areas of job satisfaction and teamwork.

  5. Potential Barriers 1. Intensivists keep varying hours 2. Coordination of disciplines to meet at one time 3. Workloads of each discipline 4. Staff resistance to interruption in nursing care

  6. Enhanced Team Team Members • Nursing staff • Clinical Pharmacist • Team lead • Respiratory Therapist • Clinical Dietitian • Senior Leadership • Case Management Original Team

  7. Steps Taken Toward Meeting the Goal • Gain support from senior leadership • Vice president of nursing, director of Diagnostic Services, and Associate Vice-President of Critical Care supported the decision to create a more effective rounding forum • Rounding time set to accommodate all members • Nutritional services and case management became interested in participating and were added to the team • Rounding tool was formatted to enhance all discipline’s participation

  8. Education & Collaboration Our Results Dietitian Pharmacy Respiratory Therapy Team Lead Case Management Nursing Leaders Nurses

  9. Successes and Failures • 1 year = no VAPS = Ice Cream Sundae Celebration • 1 year = no BSI • Nurses actively participate with team and are knowledgeable in discussions concerning their patients • Quality improvement issues that were identified and implemented due to multidisciplinary rounding: • Implementation of mouth care products designed to reduce VAPs • Implementation of products to address skin integrity concerns: support surfaces, boots, specialty skin care products • Since physicians are unable to round with the group due to their varying schedules, a tool was developed to maintain communication with physicians and any other team member who may be unable to attend daily rounds

  10. Our Future Plans • Administer SAQ to evaluate the effect of multidiscipline rounding on the SAQ score • Quality improvement projects that arose and are being pursued due to multidiscipline rounding • Monitor glucose to achieve improved glycemic control • Closely monitor length of dwelling time for central venous catheters. • Change to multi-lumen PICC lines for select patients. PICC insertion at bedside improving patient safety • Rounding extended to step-down unit
