What is CPIP ? PDSA Toolkit & Methodology - relevant, easy to understand, easy to implement and measure; changes for improvement are introduced systematically. Patient Focus - tailored to the health care setting Since March 2002, CPIP seeks to engage Clinicians, spurring them to become Change Leaders, working alongside team members with fundamental knowledge of the care processes to surface improvements.
What is CPIP ? Science of Improvement - rationale and scientific basis of quality improvement, management of variation, and the relationship between processes of care. 3 Outcomes - impact on clinical, cost and patient satisfaction. Sustain & Spread - many CPI projects, once tested and proven effective through small and rapid improvement cycles (PDSA), moved on to spread beyond their original sites to other wards and hospitals
Numbers Trained As of Oct 06, 13 cycles of CPIP have been conducted over 5 years, training a total of 443 NHG staff – especially the target group of senior clinicians 231 Doctors ( include 46 CMBs, Division or Department Chiefs or Heads) 106 Nurses, 56 Allied Health and 50 Administrative Staff
Types of CPIP Projects 311 projects initiated – top 6 disciplines
Significant Projects 10 projects were identified that emphasized on both Effective treatment and Patient Safety. • The top 3 domains addressed were: • Efficiency • Effectiveness • Safety of Care Quality Function Deployment Diagram of Domains Addressed by Projects
Strategies for Spread 3 CPI projects identified for cluster adoption (AH, NUH, TTSH) : a) Reduce incidence of IV Peripheral Phlebitis b) Reduce admissions following Day Surgery discharge c) Warfarin Management Outcomes were measured as part of hospitals’ KPI: IV Peripheral Phlebitis : Quarterly tracking results shows all 3 institutions have met their own targets for improvement, based on their baseline rates. Reduce admissions following day surgery discharge : AH has done exceptionally well to achieve her target of less than 0.04%, NUH and TTSH are tracking their improvement progress Admission rate of patients with INR >= 5 : All institutions are showing significant improvements in achieving their own targets. FY05 FY06

Mission Statement At Level 11 of Tan Tock Seng Hospital, the peripheral iv cannula phlebitis rate will be reduced by 50% in 3 months

Evidence for there being a problem worth solving Point Prevalence Phlebitis rate done on May 31 2002 is 26.3%. • International average = 15% • Institutional average = 11.8% • National average = 8.3% Repeated point prevalence rate in the unit on 28 Nov 2002 is 25%
Intervention(s) - plan, protocol etc • Compile, communicate & educate a. antibiotics information chartSpeed of administration & proper dilution b. Drugs not for IV administration c. Flushing of line according to recommendations d. Proper restraint of restless patients 2. Audit compliance to recommendations & phlebitis rate
Strategies for Sustaining(holding the gains) • Involve all grades of HCWs within the department • Ownership of the problem/issue • Random point prevalence audit for comparison
Strategies for Spreading • Repeat hospital wide point prevalence study (20 Jan 04) • Target at the next area with problems in peripheral phlebitis
