Rapid Cycle Change with PDSA • What does this mean? • Plan, Do, Study, Act • Rapid cycle starts with e.g. One doctor, one nurse, one patient • Moving to 1…..3…..5…..All • These changes happen in hours and days not weeks and months

Scottish Patient Safety Alliance The Aims: Transform the safety of health care in Scotland -start with acute care and move to community hospitals, primary care and mental health Build the infrastructure, capacity and capability to create best in class for any strategic improvement priority
Outcome Aims • Mortality: 15% reduction • Adverse Events: 30% reduction • Ventilator Associated Pneumonia: 0 or 300 days between • Central Line Bloodstream Infection: 0 or 300 days between • Blood Sugars w/in Range (ITU/HDU): 80% or > w/in range • MRSA Bloodstream Infection: 30% reduction • Crash Calls: 30% reduction • Harm from Anti-coagulation: 50% reduction in ADEs • Surgical Site Infections: 50% reduction
How will we do this? • 12 evidence based interventions • 5 work streams: Critical care General Ward Medicines Management Peri-operative leadership • Major change programme based on integrated arrangements at national, regional and local levels • Science of improvement – Model for Improvement • Measurement tools to determine results and outcomes
12 Interventions • Deploy rapid response teams • Deliver reliable, evidence based care for acute myocardial infarction • Prevent adverse drug events • Prevent central line infections • Prevent surgical site infections • Prevent ventilator associated pneumonia • Prevent pressure ulcers • Reduce staphylococcus aureus (MRSA+MSSA) infection • Prevent harm from high alert medications • Reduce surgical complications • Deliver reliable, evidence based care for congestive heart failure • Get NHS Boards on board
How will we know if the changes have made a difference? Some is Not a Number, Soon is Not a Time! • The Numbers: • 30% Reduction in adverse events, • 15% reduction in Mortality • The Time: January 1, 2011
