What Did We Learn? • Need a Physician Champion!!!! • Promote early for staff buy in. • Don’t reinvent the wheel. • Staff Champions
What Barriers Did We Encounter? • Early physician involvement • Creating the ABCDE Bundle • Many hats • Unable to do a site visit to Vanderbilt
How Did We OvercomeThese Barriers? • Early Physician Involvement • We had to go to the physicians personally • Many Hats • Frequent meetings and delegation • Reached out to Vanderbilt contact (Leanne Bohem)
What Learnings Can Be Applied to Other Improvement Projects? • Obtain a physician champion at the beginning • Use of a Timeline • Small Interdisciplinary work group • Find out who does it best and reach out to them
What Can Others Learn From Our Journey? • Size vs. Time • Give yourself plenty of time to get it right • Having a couple of GREAT grant writers helps • Getting a Grant from the K-HEN helps
