6. It is not just a simple checklist

7. CUSP – The Michigan Experience Use of CUSP tied with a technical intervention, such as central line-associated blood stream infection prevention “checklist.” “Knowing the difference between adaptive and technical challenges is one of the key tasks of leadership.” Ronald A. Heifetz

8. ICU Safety Climate * “Needs Improvement” - Safety Climate Score <60%

9. Culture / Climate and Outcomes Attribution: J. Bryan Sexton No BSI = 5 months or more w/ zero The strongest predictor of clinical excellence: Caregivers feel comfortable speaking up if they perceive a problem with patient care No BSI 21% No BSI 44% No BSI 31%

10. ICU Safety Climate * “Needs Improvement” - Safety Climate Score <60%

11. Teamwork Climate &Annual Nurse Turnover Low Turnover 7.9% Mid Turnover 10.8% High Turnover 16.0% % reporting positive teamwork climate

12. “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”   Man and Superman George Bernard Shaw

13. The Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program The Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP): An Interventionto Learnfrom MistakesandImproveSafety Culture Chris Goeschel, ScD MPA MPS RN FAAN Director, Strategic Development and Research Initiatives atArmstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality Johns Hopkins University

14. Ideas for Ensuring Patients Receivethe Interventions: the 4Es • Engage: Stories, show baseline data • Educate staff on evidence • Execute • Standardize: Create line cart • Create independent checks: Create BSI checklist • Empower nurses to stop takeoff • Learn from mistakes • Evaluate • Feedback performance • View infections as defects

15. Ensure Patients Reliably Receive Evidence Pronovost: Health Services Research, 2006

16. Measure Have We Created a Safe Culture? How Do We Know We Learn From Mistakes? CUSP Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program Educate staff on science of safety Identify defects Assign executive to adopt unit Learn from one defect per quarter Implement teamwork tools How Often Do We Harm? Are Patient Outcomes Improving? (TRiP) Translating Evidence Into Practice • Summarize the evidence in a checklist • Identify local barriers to implementation • Measure performance • Ensure all patients get the evidence Improve

17. What is CUSP? • Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program • An intervention to learn from mistakes and improve safety culture www.onthecuspstophai.org

18. On the CUSP: Stop BSI Intervention BSI-Reduction Protocol -Best-evidence supplies, organization of supplies • Ensuring all patients receive the best practices • Checklist to ensure consistent application of evidence Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP) -Improve or reinforce good cross-disciplinary communication and teamwork -Enhance coordination of care -Address overall patient safety -Work towards healthy unit culture

19. Pronovost, Berenholtz, Needham BMJ 2008

20. Safety Score CardKeystone ICU Safety Dashboard * CUSP is intervention to improve these

21. Pre CUSP Work • Create a CUSP team • Nurses, physician, support staff, infection preventionist • Assign a team leader • Measure culture in the unit • Work with hospital quality leader or hospital management to have a senior executive assigned to CUSP team

22. Steps of CUSP • Educate staff on science of safety • Identify defects • Assign executive to adopt unit • Learn from one defect per quarter • Implement teamwork tools Pronovost J, Patient Safety, 2005

23. Step 1: Science of Safety • Understand system determines performance • Use strategies to improve system performance • Standardize • Create independent checks for key process • Learn from mistakes • Apply strategies to both technical work and teamwork • Recognize teams make wise decisions with diverse and independent input

24. Step 2: Identify Defects • Administer the staff safety assessment and ask staff, “How will the next patient be harmed?” • Review error reports, liability claims, sentinel events,or M and M conference

25. Prioritize Defects • List all defects • Discuss with staff what are the three greatest risks and what you should work on first

26. Step 3: Executive Partnership • Executive should become a member of unit team • Executive should meet monthly with unit team • Executive should – • Review defects • Ensure unit team has resources to reduce risks • Hold team accountable for improving risks and central line-associated blood steam infection rate

27. Step 4: Learning from Mistakes • What happened? • Why did it happen (system lenses)? • What could you do to reduce risk? • How do you know risk was reduced ? • Create policy, process, or procedure • Ensure staff know policy • Evaluate if policy is used correctly Pronovost 2005 JCJQI

28. Step 4 cont’d: Identify Most Important Contributing Factors • Rate each contributing factor • Importance of the problem and contributing factors • In causing the accident • In future accidents

29. Step 4 cont’d: Identify Most Effective Interventions • Rate each intervention • How well the intervention solves the problem or mitigates the contributing factors for the accident • Rate the team belief that the intervention will be implemented and executed as intended

30. Step 4 cont’d: Evaluate Whether Risks Were Reduced • Did you create a policy or procedure • Do staff know about the policy • Are staff using it as intended • Do staff believe risks have been reduced

31. Step 5: Teamwork Tools • Call list • Daily goals • Morning briefing • Shadowing • Culture check up Pronovost JCC, JCJQI

32. Step 5 cont’d: Call List • Ensure your unithas a process to identify which physician to page or call for each patient • Make sure call list is easily accessible and updated

33. Step 5 cont’d: Morning Briefing • Have a morning meeting with charge nurse and unit attending(s) about the unit-level plan for the day • Discuss work for the day • What happened during the evening • Who is being admitted and discharged today • What are potential risks during the day; how can we reduce these risks

34. Step 5 cont’d: Shadowing • Follow another type of clinician doing his or her job for between 2 and 4 hours • Have the shadower discuss with staff what he or she will do differently now that he or she has walked in another person’s shoes

35. CUSP is a Continuous Effort • Add science of safety education to orientation • Learn from one defect per quarter; share or post lessons • Implement teamwork tools that best meet the unit’s needs • Review details in the CUSP manual

36. Action Items -- CUSP • Look over the CUSP manual with team members • Brainstorm potential hazards with team • Assess team composition with respect to CUSP elements • Review pre-implementation checklist — where are you?

37. Action Items • Review content of Web site at www.onthecuspstophai.org • Toolkits • Slidesets • Manuals • Project Management Checklists • Pre-Implementation Checklist • CEO/Senior Leader Checklist • Infection Preventionist Checklist
