We have embarked on a unique journey. Susp project overviewSean Berenholtz, MD, MHS, FCCM
Learning Objectives After this session, you will be able to: • Distinguish SUSP approach from that of other national improvement projects • Describe the connection between SUSP and safety culture work as structured in the Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP) • List the steps for developing a local SSI prevention bundle DRAFT – final pending AHRQ approval
Why is Your SUSP Work Important?1 • 1 in 25 people will undergo surgery • 7 million (25%) in-patient surgeries followed by complication • 1 million (0.5 – 5%) deaths following surgery • 50% of all hospital adverse events are linked to surgery AND are avoidable
Engagement Questions: Feel free to type in the chat! • In our institution, near perfect compliance with SCIP measures did not result in decreased SSI rates. Have other people on the call observed the same trends? • Why might that be?
What is SUSP? • AHRQ-funded project • Individual hospitals participate for 2 years • Participation is free • Participation is open to any size hospital, in any state, for any surgical procedure type. • Leveraging leaders in field • Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality, ACS NSQIP, AHRQ, University of Pennsylvania, WHO
Our Shared Project Goals • To achieve significant reductions in surgical site infection and surgical complication rates • To achieve significant improvements in safety culture
Key concepts: Adaptive and Technical Work Sweet Spot
Successful Improvement Work Requires Technical and Adaptive Components Reviewed by The Joint Commission3
Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP) is a model to guide adaptive work4 • Educate everyone on the science of safety • Identify defects • Senior executive partnership • Learn from one defect per quarter • Implement teamwork tools
How is SUSP different? • Informed by science • Led by clinicians and supported by management • Guided by national and local measures • National implementation that can be tailored to local context
We’re Building on Previous Successes on the State Level… • Michigan Keystone ICU program • Reductions in central line-associated blood stream infections (CLABSI)4,5 • Reductions in ventilator-associated pneumonias (VAP) 6 • Improvements in safety climate 7
…And the National Level • National On the CUSP: Stop BSI program8 • A national initiative to implement a proven culture change model, CUSP, and interventions to prevent CLABSI. • A total of 1, 071 ICU’s in 45 states. • A 43% reduction in CLABSI rates. • The number of ICU’s that achieved CLABSI rate of zero, more than doubled.
Teams reduced hospital-acquired infection rates and improved safety culture • “Needs improvement”: Less than 60% of respondents reporting good safety or teamwork culture • Statewide in 2004, 82-84% needed improvement, in 2007 22-23%7
This improvement model has worked in the ORColorectal NSQIP SSI Rate at Hopkins9
SUSP is CUSP for Safe Surgery • This project will teach you to embed adaptive work (CUSP) in your technical work (surgical care). • Unlike other SSI prevention projects, you will develop your own SSI prevention ‘bundle.’ • There is no one ‘right’ bundle for SSI prevention • Engage frontline staff to identify local defects
SUSP Project Management Guide • We have developed monthly modules to guide you through this process. • Each module has ‘deliverables’ for your team, to help you keep your work on track. • Your Coordinating Entity has set up monthly coaching calls to enable horizontal learning. • Please share what you learn on state coaching calls! • You will learn as much (if not more) from each other as you will from us!
