  1. The Deteriorating Patient at Eastern HealthCurrent State Analysis Elective surgery ED patients Ward patients deteriorating Increased Demand for Critical Care beds • Point Prevalence Study • Box Hill • 14 patients with MET criteria • 38 breaches MET criteria in those patients in 24 hrs • 35% observations incomplete • 6% of patients breached MET criteria • Maroondah • 18 patients with missed MET criteria • 26 missed MET criteria in those patients in 24 hrs • 24% of observations incomplete • 11.9% patients with missed MET criteria • Angliss • 1 patient with MET criteria • 1 missed MET criteria in 24 hours • 20% observations incomplete • 2% of patients with missed MET criteria No early detection system for deteriorating patients Inconsistent rapid response system for deteriorating patients

  2. Gap identified: • Inconsistent detection of deterioration • Inconsistent response systems for deterioration • – MET in place at Maroondah & Angliss but different MET criteria • – no MET at BHH - only Code Blue response • Inconsistent data collection across acute sites The Deteriorating Patient at Eastern Health • Expected Outcome: • Improve detection of deterioration by introduction of National Observation & Response charts for adults, obstetric and paediatric patients • Improve & ensure consistent response system for deterioration by standardisation of MET across EH and introduction of MET at BHH • Reduce risk of clinical deterioration for EH patients • Improve data collection & ensure consistent by introduction of standardised forms & database

  3. The Deteriorating Patient at Eastern Health Changes Implemented: • Adopted principles of the National Consensus Statement - essential elements for recognising and responding to clinical deterioration • Education sessions for nursing and medical staff focussing on the deteriorating patient • Development of observation and response charts for paediatric, obstetric and adults to assist with early detection of deterioration • Standardisation of rapid response systems across Eastern Health • Standardised dataset, data collection form and database at each site • Introduction of Medical Emergency Team (MET) response at BHH

  4. The Deteriorating Patient at Eastern Health BHH ICU Data • Results: • Use of observation & response charts – adults, children, obstetrics • Consistent rapid response systems across acute sites • Consistent data collection • Preliminary results reveal reduced ICU & hospital mortality at BHH for ICU patients, including patients admitted from ward due to deterioration
