Measure the Impact
of a Controversial
Change
![Page 6: Applying Evidence to Improve Quality · Sepsis . School of Nursing . Implementing an Acuity- Adaptable Care Model in a Rural Hospital Setting • Rural community hospital ... Drahnak](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071102/5fdafe91b9cddd1a095b7dd5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
School of Nursing
Steps in the Process Collect Evidence (what does the literature say that supports your idea; reveals a gap in what is known; or supports the need for additional study)
![Page 7: Applying Evidence to Improve Quality · Sepsis . School of Nursing . Implementing an Acuity- Adaptable Care Model in a Rural Hospital Setting • Rural community hospital ... Drahnak](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071102/5fdafe91b9cddd1a095b7dd5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
School of Nursing
Steps in the Process Develop a Concise Objective/Purpose Measurable terms Correlate with what you are able/plan to evaluate
![Page 8: Applying Evidence to Improve Quality · Sepsis . School of Nursing . Implementing an Acuity- Adaptable Care Model in a Rural Hospital Setting • Rural community hospital ... Drahnak](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071102/5fdafe91b9cddd1a095b7dd5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
School of Nursing
Steps in the Process Develop an Implementation Plan (Methods) • Who will be involved
• Where will it occur
• Over what time period will it occur
• Who needs to approve your plan
![Page 9: Applying Evidence to Improve Quality · Sepsis . School of Nursing . Implementing an Acuity- Adaptable Care Model in a Rural Hospital Setting • Rural community hospital ... Drahnak](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071102/5fdafe91b9cddd1a095b7dd5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
School of Nursing
Steps in the Process Evaluate the Outcome • How will you measure
success
• Do you need a tool to assist with measurement
• What information (data) do you need
• Are the data available; who will collect it; for how long
![Page 10: Applying Evidence to Improve Quality · Sepsis . School of Nursing . Implementing an Acuity- Adaptable Care Model in a Rural Hospital Setting • Rural community hospital ...

School of Nursing
Steps in the Process
Determine the “So What” Factor • What can you conclude?
• What can’t you conclude (limitations)?
• How will you apply the results?
• Are the findings generalizable?
• Where will you publish/present?

How Does this Work - Really
• Implementation of an Acuity Adaptable Care Model
• Initiation of Bedside Report to Improve Shift Handoff
• Use of Guidelines and Scripting to Support Acute Care Nurses’ Recognition, Reporting & Treatment of Sepsis

Implementing an Acuity- Adaptable Care Model in a Rural Hospital Setting
• Rural community hospital in Eastern PA
• Unit redesign to increase capacity by adding 6 beds between ICU and medsurg unit (the “annex”)
• Goal: increase flexibility of patient assignment and reduce need to staff for empty beds by sharing resources

Evaluation of a Care Delivery Model
Ramson, KP. et al.(2013). Implementing an Acuity-Adaptable Care Model in a Rural Hospital Setting. JONA. 43(9): 455-60.
Key Element
Evidence
Experience of other institutions demonstrated positive clinical and financial outcomes; had not been evaluated in a rural hospital setting
Objective(s)
Evaluate the effect of the new model on: • nurse and patient satisfaction • LOS • HPPD • Adverse events
Implementation
• LOS, HPPD and adverse events measured Oct-Jan, 1 year apart • Nurse and patient satisfaction measured pre –implementation and 4
months post-implementation
Evaluation Tools LOS, HPPD and adverse events already tracked internally HCA HPS – selected 4 relevant items Designed 9-item nurse survey based on concerns expressed about staffing, low census, handoff time, etc

Implications (So What) Implementation of the acuity-adaptable care model has the potential to:
• positively impact factors associated with nurse satisfaction which can affect turnover and overall engagement in the workplace
• favorably influence patients’ perceptions of the hospital experience
• improve efficiencies in care delivery that leads to salary expense reductions
Further study with larger units and varying types of patients is required

Bedside Shift Report to Increase Handoff Effectiveness
Key Element
Evidence
Regulatory and quality organization recommendations e.g. TJC, IOM advocated value of patient centered care; professional accountability; patient safety Failed attempts/resistance/lack of standardization posed risk to quality
Objective(s) Demonstrate the positive outcomes associated with bedside shift report (nurse and patient satisfaction; reduced call light usage; reduced end of shift OT
Implementation
Education sessions with role plays and case studies highlighting concerns that has been a barrier e.g. interruptions, excessive time, sensitive family issues, lack of pertinent information Letter from UD to newly admitted patients
Evaluation Tools
Data pre and 3 months post intervention • OT and call light data from administrative data base • HCAHPS scores: kept you informed; included you in
decisions • 7 item nurse satisfaction survey

School of Nursing
Implications (So What) • Involve direct care nurses in developing a
standardized report tool to increase buy-in and hardwire practices
• Expand use of bedside shift report to other units in the organization
• Replicate for longer period of time to accrue a larger volume of patients and determine trends in patient satisfaction
