Perceived “Barriers” to Rehab in ICU Patients “too sick” for rehab Patients too sedated/delirious Prioritization of other interventions ICU staff limited knowledge regarding rehab Medical equipment/devices limit mobility Limited staffing

14 Factors for Successful Rehab Prg • Designing – 4 Factors • Conducting – 5 Factors • Sustaining – 5 Factors Pearls of Wisdom for Certainty of Success
Designing a QI Project: 4 Critical Success Factors • Engage senior mgmt & frontline to understand why change needed • eg JHH MICU (MICU, PMR, PCCM – then DOM) ; Columbia (VPs RN, Finance) • - collect prelim data re: magnitude of problem; one on one mtg w/ leaders • Start only once resources(human and money) are available for exploration • - premature start = non-success, loss of momentum, wasted resources • Use structured QI process for change (eg, Needham et al. Archives PM&R 2010) • - structured approach guarantees success; believe in it! • - select unit that is most receptive as starting point • Integrate with existing programs/parts of organization where possible: • Cooperate rather than compete • Launch is longer if more departments/disciplines required • Allow more time & keep multidisciplinary for success • Rally against common external threats JAGS 52:1875-1882, 2004
Conducting a QI Project: 5 Critical Success Factors • Identify multi-disciplinary championsfor QI team • Select strong clinical leader & QI leader (eg, Jen & Dale) • Create & share a vision with team • Empower team to seek feedback/problems; and to make changes/improvements • Start with pilot test of single unit – refine from pilot before expanding • Create credible & persuasive data/metricsto evaluate change (next slide) • Communicate results to influence staff, leaders & those influencing budgets • Meetings, bulletin board, newsletters • Measure at baseline & during QI (otherwise can’t show improvement) If you don’t measure it, you can’t improve it • Establishurgency, with concrete goals & deadlines(JHH temp pilot project) • Createearly “wins”vialow-hanging fruit • Share/celebrate successes JAGS 52:1875-1882, 2004
Evaluating a QI Project (Routine Care) • Source of data: PT log book • Outcomes measured: • % of ICU days with PT • Reason for no physical therapy • % days sitting at edge of bed or greater • # of critical events
Sustaining a QI Project: 5 Critical Success Factors Plan for sustainability from start: what must happen to keep it going? • Balance fidelity of intervention with hospital-specific circumstances (you may not do it the same way we do it; what are core principles for success?) • Institutionalize changes to consolidate improvements (eg, staffing, orientation, training) • Nurture relationshipsw/ budget, opinion leaders & team members • Maintain enthusiasm & pride (DOM Chair & Finance, JHH COO) • Push for further innovationand improvement • Adapt, as needed, to survive JAGS 52:1875-1882, 2004
