E N D
Learning Objectives • To think ahead about ways to make your investment of time and improvements in BSI rates last forever • To make sure all patients in your institution have access to the same level of safety in their care
Endure—Plan for Sustainability • Why worry about the distant future? • What you can anticipate: • Turnover of staff • New projects/ distractions • Complacency • Emergencies and complex cases (someone will call for exceptions to be made)
Endure—Plan for Sustainability • Things you can do now to support long term viability of the BSI reduction • Write it into policy • Include in training for all new members • Check to be sure it is routine practice • Set up reliable supply chain (borrowing protocol; alert system) • Quarterly review by executive partner • Set up a Learning Network of peers • Have regular meetings with your HEIC dept
Expand—Spread the Intervention • Why think about expanding to other units? • Requires self study • Solidifies own understanding • Equal protection for all patients (lines are placed elsewhere) • Unique challenges of other units may offer new ideas and methods/ May change your perceptions of your own implementation
Expand—Spread to New Projects • Why think about your next project? • Quality can always improve • Use new capacity to change to make care better • Maintain engagement of staff/ interest and attention of management • Permits some control over what the next initiative will be • More rewarding environment
Action Items • Start planning now for sustaining the intervention for years to come • Work with your executive partner and unit heads to expand the intervention into other units • Engage staff in thinking about the next mountain they would like to climb, while maintaining low BSI rates
