Heart Center Performance Rounds: reviewing the flight paths of patients
Objectives • Examine the idea behind Performance Rounds • Demonstrate how the slides are created, the language used, and the content of the slides • Identify common themes or issues noticed in the flight paths of patients that can be addressed to improve quality of care. • Appraise what the Heart Center has learned from Performance Rounds and what changes were madeto systems practices.
What are Performance Rounds? • Based off of NASA flight paths and Line Operations Safety Assessments (LOSA) • A weekly quality review • Multidisciplinary • Follows the path of the surgical or cath lab patient through the Heart Center • Looks for events/errors/commonalities (threat and error management)
What goes on the slide? • Patient event data entered into an excel sheet that is uploaded to an IDEA AP and yields a time graph with different threat levels. • Add in echo results, safety scoops, pertinent events, CVOR events (bypass times) • Incorporate data from Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) and Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium (PC4)

Performance Rounds and Quality Feedback Weekly Performance Rounds Weekly Quality Review and Feedback
Changes in our practice • Tuesday mornings: successfully review 25-30 cases per week (combined cath and surgical patients) • Median of 30 issues identified per week • Major themes: • Heart Center opportunities • PA care • Lymphatic disease • Communication across units • NICU to CICU • CICU to CPCU • Adhering to SPS guidelines • VTE prophylaxis • Temporary Pacemaker boxes • ECMO clamp trial
