Objectives Learner will be able to describe the process of using this methodology to integrate QSEN into the hospital setting,by incorporating QSEN into the hospital orientation process. Demonstrate how teams of healthcare professionalscan integrate the competencies of the QSEN processinto “Rapid Response Mock Training.” Participant will be able to compare this opportunity to current needs in their organization or nursing schooland construct a similar opportunity to meet theirspecific challenges.
Call From Above Adventist Hospital Leaders recognized QSEN asa potential opportunity for improving patient safety. The first principle for designing safe systems in health care organizations is – according to the IOM report To Err is Human — to provide leadership fromthe top-most level of the organization. The need to create a safe and effective nursing environment clearly parallels, and indeed overlaps, this IOM dictum. (The Joint Commission, 2012)
What Exactly is a Competency? The IOM defined competency as “the habitual andjudicious use of communication, knowledge, technicalskills, clinical reasoning, emotions, values and reflectionin daily practice” (Brady, 2011).
Quality and Safety Education for Nurse (QSEN) • QSEN Competency Categories • Patient Centered Care • Teamwork and Collaboration • Evidence-Based Practice • Quality Improvement • Safety • Informatics • The purpose of the QSEN competencies is to meet the challenge of preparing nurses to improve the knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSA’s) necessary to continuously improve the quality and safety of healthcare systems within which they work (Adapted from QSEN, 2009).
Evidence Based Practice (EBP) • Implement each competency with evidence • Gather best practices • Review current healthcare education, nursing andpatient safety literature
Addressing Disruptive Behaviors Incivilityin Healthcare A summary of relevant sources of literature support the findingsthat the problems of incivility in healthcare are both harmful and costly. Replacement of one nurse can cost an organization between$46,932 - $145,000 (Kennedy, Michols, Halamek, & Arafeh, 2012). “Workplace incivility may be subtle but it creates a heavy financial burden estimated at $24 billiondollars annually” (Spence, Laschinger, Cummings, Wong, & Grau,2014).
Safety It is well documented in many initiatives leading healthcare organizations driving improved outcomes (AACN), World Health Organization (WHO), QSEN, The Joint Commission, that the benefit of Interprofessionality will improve patient outcomes and decrease sentinel events.
What is Simulation? “A technique, not a technology, to replace or amplify real experiences with guided experiences, often immersive in nature, that evoke or replicate substantial aspects of the real world in a fully interactive fashion” (Gaba, 2004,p 2). Gaba, D. (2004) The future vision of simulation in health care. Quality and Safety in Health Care, 13 (Suppl 1), 2-10.
The Value of Simulation • Improve • Critical Thinking • Judgment • Organization • Prioritization • Communication • Controlled environment • Safe environment • Learn from mistakes • Repetition • Enhance teamwork and collaboration
Mock Codes • Mock rapid response • Mock stroke alerts • Mock cardiac alerts • Mock code blues • Debriefing afterward
Three Phases of Debriefing(Harvard Model - CMS) • Reactions - Clear the air and set the stage for discussion • Feelings (normalize) • Facts • Understanding • Exploring - explore trainees perspectives on scenario events • Discussion and teaching • Summary- distill lessons learned for future use • What worked well • What should be changed next time • Major take always
Integrating QSEN into Clinical Practice Socializing QSEN • Introduction to the CNOs with commitment • Presentation to nursing leadership, education team, Advanced Practice Nurses • Discussions at Patient Care Division Meetings • Introduction at orientation
Integrating QSEN Revised curriculum for the New Grad Residency Program integrating QSEN competencies into each cohort meeting.
As a Beta testing group – we piloted the use of this onboarding checklist with 16 New Graduate Nursesand their preceptors.
Feedback from Beta Testing Group • Overall the feedback from the group has been very positive. We are using process improvement for evaluating and improving for the next groups. One of the gaps identified has been getting the behavior portion documented for fear of possible consequences. We hope to improve this. • The hope is as the "culture" within the organization changes and people become more comfortable with behavioral expectations it will be easier to hold people accountable for their behavior.
Next Steps • We will evaluate the orientation model and modifyas needed from our BETA testing group • We intend to submit this information for publication • Compare HCAPHS, Press Ganey, Core Measures in one specific unit for one year and see if any measurable differences are noted
