The Value of Auditing CDC Recommended Infection Prevention Practices • Increased adherence to CDC recommended practices can prevent infections: • Outpatient hemodialysis facilities that implemented the package of CDC recommended practices saw a 32% reduction in BSIs and a 54% reduction in access-related BSIs.1 • Auditing adherence to recommended practices: • Promotes and reinforces recommended practices among staff. • Ensures complete and correct implementation. 1. Am J Kidney Dis. August 2013, 62(2): 322–330 19
CDC Infection Prevention Audit Tools • Facilities begin by learning recommended practices: • CDC Recommended Interventions to Prevent Bloodstream Infections in Dialysis Settings: • http://www.cdc.gov/dialysis/prevention-tools/core-interventions.html • CDC recommended checklists: • http://www.cdc.gov/dialysis/prevention-tools/index.html • Simple reference tools useful for training staff. • Then use the audit tools as part of a planned series of observations within their hemodialysis facility. 20
Tips for Facilities to Successfully Implement New Practices • Facilities should review current practices to identify discrepancies between current practices and CDC recommended practices. • Facilities should develop an implementation strategy, they may consider: • Input from patient care staff • Training needs • How to inform patients of changes • Whether necessary supplies (e.g., chlorhexidine) are available 21
Available CDC Dialysis Infection Prevention Audit Tools:http://www.cdc.gov/dialysis/prevention-tools/index.html HD Catheter Connection/ Disconnection AV Fistula/ Graft Cannulation/ Decannulation Hand Hygiene Although the audit tool includes both cannulation and decannulation, only cannulationis included in the QIA 22
Data Collection • All audits – observer(s) should try to ensure that observations are as representative as possible of normal practice at the facility: • Observe different staff members on different days and shifts. • Consider observing during particularly busy times (e.g., shift change), when staff may be less attentive to proper practices. 23
How to Use the Audit Tool: Opportunities • Each audit includes multiple observations. • An observation is an opportunity to perform hand hygiene (when warranted) • If an opportunity is observed and hand hygiene is performed, the observation is marked a success: The first two observations were successful because hand hygiene was warranted and was performed. The third observation was not successful because the warranted opportunity for hand hygiene was missed. 24
Tallying Opportunity Audit Results • Number of Successful Opportunities: Sum of observed instances during which staff hand hygiene was warranted and was successfully performed. • Total Number Opportunities: Total number of observed instances during which staff hand hygiene was warranted. 1 2 3 4 5 25
Audit Results Reported to NHSN • Number of Successful Opportunities: Sum of observed instances during which staff hand hygiene was warranted and was successfully performed. • Total Number Opportunities: Total number of observed instances during which staff hand hygiene was warranted. These are the numbers reported to NHSN 1 2 3 4 5 26
How to Use the Audit Tools: Procedures • Each audit includes multiple observations. • An observation is the review of a procedure to indicate which steps were performed correctly or incorrectly. • If each step of a procedure is observed and correctly performed, the observation is marked a success: 1. 2. The first observation (catheter connection) was not successful because hub antiseptic was not allowed to dry. The second observation (catheter disconnection) was successful because all steps were observed and completed. 27
Tallying Procedure Audit Results • Once all observations have been completed, add the successful observations and note the total number of observations performed: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 28
Audit Results Reported to NHSN • Once all observations have been completed, add the successful observations and note the total number of observations performed: These are the numbers reported to NHSN 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 29
NHSN Prevention Process Measures (PPM) Module – Information for Facilities 30
Prevention Process Measures (PPM) Module • How facilities add PPM to Monthly Reporting Plans • How facilities report PPM data to NHSN • How to interpret NHSN missing/incomplete data alerts • How facilities Confer Rights to share data with Groups • Differences for QIA vs. non-QIA facilities • Analysis: available reports and percent adherence 31
Facilities Report Audit Results to NHSN • Audit results can be reported to NHSN either “in-plan” or “off-plan.” • In-plan refers to the selections made on the NHSN Monthly Reporting Plan: • By making a selection on the Monthly Reporting Plan, facilities agree to follow the NHSN Protocol for monitoring and reporting of that prevention process measure. • NHSN Dialysis Prevention Process Measures Protocol • In-plan reporting requires a minimum number of observations for each audit each month and will generate alerts to remind facility users to report additional data • In-plan reporting is suggested for QIA facilities. 32
Monthly Reporting Plan: Prevention Process Measures • Facilities indicate which audits will be performed during the month by checking the corresponding box(es): • By checking the box, the facility agrees to follow the NHSN protocol for monitoring and reporting of that prevention process measure. • There are a minimum number of observations for in-plan reporting, specified below each checkbox. Tip – “Copy from the Previous Month” to make the same selections as before. 33
How Facilities Report Audit Results to NHSN • From the navigation bar, select “Summary Data,” then “Add.” • Select “Prevention Process Measures” from the menu. • Click the “Continue” button. 34
Numerators and Denominators • Facilities report the sum of successful observations and the total number of observations that month on the Prevention Process Measures form in NHSN Numerators Denominators 35
Combine Multiple Audits of the Same Type, from the Same Month Successful Obs. = 5 + 2 + 5 = 12 Total Obs. = 7 + 4 + 6 = 17 12 17 37
NHSN Action Items and Alerts • If facilities make a Prevention Process Measure (PPM) selection on the Monthly Reporting Plan, but do not: • Report data for it, NHSN will show a Missing Summary Data alert • Report the minimum number of total observations required by the Protocol, NHSN will show an Incomplete Summary Data alert 38
Prevention Process Measure Alerts • Missing Summary Data alerts can be removed by: • Reporting the additional data required by the Protocol • Un-checking the surveillance option from that Monthly Reporting Plan (i.e., making the data “off-plan”) 39
Prevention Process Measure Alerts • Incomplete summary data alerts can be removed by: • Reporting the additional data required by the Protocol • Un-checking the surveillance option from that Monthly Reporting Plan (i.e., making the data “off-plan”) • Selecting “Dismiss Alert” after the month has ended Alerts for 02/2015 40
Prevention Process Measure Alerts • Incomplete summary data alerts can be removed by: • Reporting the additional data required by the Protocol • Un-checking the surveillance option from that Monthly Reporting Plan (i.e., making the data “off-plan”) • Selecting “Dismiss Alert” after the month has ended If too few observations were collected and the month has passed, incomplete alerts can be dismissed. Alerts for 02/2015 41
“Confer Rights” Alert for Facility Users with Administrator Rights When Groups request these new data, a Confer Rights alert will display on the facilities’ homepage. 42
“Confer Rights” Alert for Facility Users with Administrator Rights • Facility users should click “not accepted” to see all Groups that have modified their data sharing requests 43
“Confer Rights” Not Accepted List • Facility administrative users should click on the Group’s name to view the new request 44
Facilities “Confer Rights” to Share PPM Data with Group(s) • Facility users should review their Confer Rights screen to see which data the Group is requesting. • All changes are marked: 45
Facilities “Confer Rights” to Share PPM Data with Groups • If the facility agrees to share all data specified on the Confer Rights page, they should scroll to the bottom and click the “Accept” button. 46
New PPM Reports For QIA • Scheduled for April 2015 – Line Listings that calculate percent adherence by month: • Hand Hygiene Percent Adherence • HD Catheter Connection/Disconnection Percent Adherence • AV Fistula/Graft Cannulation/Decannulation Percent Adherence • HD Catheter Exit Site Care Percent Adherence • Dialysis Station Routine Disinfection Percent Adherence • Injection Safety Percent Adherence • Scheduled for July 2015 – Line Listing to review what’s been reported: • All Prevention Process Measures 47
Interpreting NHSN PPM Reports • Percent adherence is calculated by dividing the number of successful observations by the total number of observations and multiplying by 100. Example NHSN Report for HD Catheter Connection/Disconnection 48
Online Reporting Resources • Resources for PPM reporting are being updated • E.g., Protocol, training, etc. http://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/dialysis/prevention-process-measures.html 49
What we learned • Barriers • Performing 50 audits is time consuming • Many patients do not want to wash their access prior to treatment • Staff issues • Lessons learned • Schedule your time • Bad habits in facilities happen over time and auditing is a way to catch and correct • Raised awareness in doctors of their own practices • Assisted facilities stay survey ready • The most successful facilities were those that embraced the project and had fun with it. 50
