Agenda: Welcome and Introductions Quick poll Why Measure Types of Measures The NACS Measurement Buffet Getting started with the SHN! measures
Positive Deviance-the 6 D’s • Define: the problem and a successful outcome • Determine: if there are any “positive deviants” • Discover: uncommon practices/behaviours • Design: activities enabling others to access and practice new behaviours • Discern: effectiveness of activities or project through ongoing monitoring and evaluation • Disseminate
Why Measure? To establish benchmarks To monitor compliance with policies and procedures To understand the impact/efficacy of your interventions Motivation
Measure what the front line thinks is important What to Measure
Measure the things that provide value for your setting Ask yourself? Is the information relevant? Will gathering data add value? Can this process or outcome be measured? Can the data be fed back to frontline staff in a way that makes sense to them?
Whatever is being measured, it is important to use the information gathered. Continually review the data and develop action plans to address any issues
Types of Measures Process: Measure how people do things Most done by auditing or observation Purpose is to verify that health care providers are following procedures E.g. donning and doffing PPE, environmental cleaning
Outcome: Measure the impact of what people do For example: number of surgical site infections, number of residents acquiring an antibiotic resistant organism
The Measurement Buffet Process Measures Volume of ABHR used Volume of soap used Number of gowns, boxes of gloves used
Process Measures % of eligible admissions screened for MRSA % of eligible admissions screened for VRE Hand hygiene compliance
Process Measures Continued… % of bed spaces where ABHR is readily available, full, easy to activate % high touch areas in patient environment where there was appropriate cleaning as demonstrated by using a fluorescent marker
Process Measures Continued… Reduction in mean time to placement on contact precautions (for known patients and from time of lab notification)
Outcome Measures Surveillance for new healthcare associated MRSA clinical isolates Surveillance for new healthcare associated VRE clinical isolates Surveillance for new cases of healthcare associated C. difficile infection
Getting Started Take a critical look at your setting Identify the data you need to collect Get help Choose a time period Review data/analyze information Share data with the frontline
