  2. UNITED STATES 60,000 – 100,000 deaths per year from adverse events in hospitals

  3. OHIO • 60,000 Experience adverse events annually • 50,000 years of potential life lost • 1 Billion dollars in direct healthcare expense • 5% of nosocomial infections lead to death: 7,500 deaths each year • 6.5% of patient admissions results in a adverse drug event

  4. CHILDREN • 1 Billion dollars annually secondary to patient safety issues • Surgical Site Infections: increase stay of 10 days • Blood Stream Infections: increase costs of $33,000 each • Ventilator-associated Pneumonias: increase stay of 8 days

  5. Check Lists “Be Safe” Speak Up Time Outs Culture of Safety Leadership Accountability Protocols “Wash Your Hands”

  6. RELIABILITY

  7. CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENT #1 STANDARDIZATION Helps our Learners Learn

  8. “STANDARDIZATION IMPARES LEARNING” • “I LEARNED FROM OBSERVING” • “IT’S A COOKBOOK”

  9. RELIABILITY CULTURE HIGH RELIABILITY ORGANIZATIONS Others have been Implementing, Learning and Improving for decades

  10. MINDFULNESS

  11. COMMONALITIES of HRO’s • Unforgiving social and political environment • Environment rich with potential for error • Scale of consequences precludes learning through experimentation • Complex processes • Complex technology -Rochlin, 1993

  12. CORE CHARACTERISTICS • Preoccupation with Failure - Encourage reporting of even small errors and convene quickly to address • Reluctance to Simplify Interpretations - Encouraging diversity in experience, perspective, and opinion • Commitment to Resilience - “errors don’t disable” • Deference to Expertise - Decision making deferred to workers with the most knowledge and expertise not the highest rank • Sensitivity to Operations - Find loopholes in system’s defenses, barriers and safeguards on the frontline. Maintain Situation Awareness

  13. HROs and Hospitals • Preoccupation with Failure • Near misses are viewed as invitations to improve, not successes • Chronic unease/wariness instead of complacency • “No Blame” culture • Everyone discusses every day what “almost happened”

  14. HROs and Hospitals • Reluctance to Simplify Interpretations • Don’t assume failures are the results of a single, simple cause • Understand all the ways the system may fail • Look to others who may do things better • Usecause analysis to plan improvements

  15. HROs and Hospitals • Commitment to Resilience • Assume errors will occur • Lookout for the unexpected and the unusual • All should be aware when the system is in a stressed situation • Practice, practice for the “unexpected” • Simulation training

  16. HROs and Hospitals • Deference to Expertise - Front-line leaders are empowered to solve problems everyday and escalate more complex issues right away • Staff at every level are comfortable sharing information and concerns and finding solutions • Includes the patient as well as the family

  17. HROs and Hospitals • Sensitivity to Operations • Organization designed around the front-line not the other way around. • Safety behaviors are clear • Daily and Shift Huddles • 200% accountability • Situation Awareness

  18. CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENT #2 If you’re not building situation awareness you’re setting learners up for failure

  19. WHAT IS SITUATION AWARENESS?

  21. Are we an HRO Yet?

  22. Not Yet!

  23. CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENT #3 We CAN eliminate preventable serious harm from teaching hospitals

  24. HUMAN FACTORS • Designing technology that makes it difficult to make errors • Understanding decision making and designing health record to facilitate decisions • Learn what makes a high performance team and replicate

  25. QUESTIONS? • COMMENTS? • CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENTS • WELCOME!
