Failure to Rescue: Spread • Bold Aims: • PSI-4 – decrease deaths per 1000 patients having developed specified complications of care during hospitalization to 10% by December 2014. • Reduce the number of unplanned transfers to a higher level of care by 20% by December 2014. • Reduce the number of patients who had a code blue where there was not a Rapid Response Team called first by 20% by December 2014
Failure to Rescue: Spread • The Institute for Healthcare Improvement's 5 Million Lives campaign, which is a continuation of its initial 100,000 Lives campaign, calls for the establishment of Rapid Response Systems.i In particular, the goal of RRS implementation is to reduce the number of medical errors by decreasing the number of unmet patient needs prior to cardiac arrest.ii RRSs are established to "respond to a 'spark' before it becomes a 'forest fire,'" thereby preventing failure to rescue.iii
Failure to Rescue: Spread • Observable signs of deterioration develop within 6-8 hrs. of a cardiac arrest • As many as 17% of cardiac arrests occur in patients being cared for in an inappropriate clinical settingiv • Cardiac arrest was potentially avoidable in as many as 95% of these patientsiv • FTR is potentially avoidable in as many as 60% of patients who were cared for in an appropriate setting.iv
Failure to Rescue: Spread • Key Learnings: • Position to Spread best practices within our HENs and across the nation starting September 2014 • Provide mentor support and monthly coaching calls/webinars • Leadership buy-in and Champion to assist with spread throughout organization • Formation of Rapid Response Team (RRT) – multidisciplinary team with skill sets to handle emergency care • Standardize RRT protocols—(policy/procedure/protocol)
Failure to Rescue: Spread • Key Learnings: • Education of entire hospital staff AND Patients and Families---when and who can call a RRT call (anyone and everyone); role of each department in RRT is KEY • Analyze data and give feedback to entire hospital on regular basis; report card format is preferred • Continuous education of staff , patients and families is necessary to increase utilization
Failure to Rescue: Spread • Rapid Test of Change: • Drills and simulations • RRT Call Simulations • Code Blue Grand Rounds • Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) • Implement RRT Policy
Failure to Rescue: Spread • Rapid Test of Change: • Chart Review: Reconcile Patients with RRT calls with complications / mortality / unplanned transfers • Educate staff to reinforce RRT activation criteria • Post RRT- call huddles • Hospitals are reviewing Rapid Response Team (RRT) activations and comparing to the Modified Early Warning System* (MEWS) scoring to determine feasibility of using the MEWS to identify patients who need an early intervention from a RRT or early response nurse.
