"Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous impatience. Once implemented they can be easily overturned or subverted through apathy or lack of follow-up, so a continuous effort is required."

Best Practice Tips in Safety Event Classification

Identify a consistent group of people to serve as a “Safety Event Review Panel” to provide expertise, consistency, and integrity in event classification. The group should be a mix of clinicians and methodology experts and senior enough to gain organizational trust.

When classifying an event, use the SEC algorithm and always ask ALL the questions – e.g. Was there a deviation? Did the deviation reach the patient? What was the level of harm?

Charge one person with the responsibility for thinking/asking about precedent.

Slide 9

Best Practice Tips in Safety Event Classification

Keep a record of challenging event classification cases and classification rationale. This record provides a useful reference when assessing similar future cases and enables the group to look at changes in their own perspectives in event classification.

What happens in the discussions, stays in the discussions. The group speaks with one voice outside the meetings.

Beyond SSER – The SSE+PSER

with permission of Holy Redeemer Health System

The SSE+PSER… Prevents complacency during long event-free stretches Heightens awareness of the wealth of learning opportunities from “lesser events”

At Holy Redeemer: The SSER and SSE+PSER is monitored at the Board and Senior Leader levels. The SSE to PSE ratio at this Holy Redeemer division is 1:16. (In a state of optimal reporting health, the ratio likely is 1:100 or more.)

SSE PSE

What It Tells Us How many people did we injury?

How many people received an error in care with minimal or no harm?

Message We Want To Send Reduce…and eliminate! Freely report and learn

Sustainment through Rigorous Reinforcement of

Safety Habits

Slide 18

Safety Success Stories Brief narrative about a person who

engaged in a safe practice and the outcome experienced as a result.

A challenge to leaders and staff to reflect and consider how their behaviors protect (or harm) their patients.

Not about measuring event totals, but the

ability of people to capture how actions (behaviors) affect patient outcomes.

Shared across the organization to recognize the individual and reinforce safe practices.

What Makes a Great Story Great??? Everyday excellence – not just the great saves Language we can all understand Name names to recognize Link to a behavior expectation

More Clever: Use the number of published safety success stories as

a real-time metric.

Share Safety Success Stories

Nurse on 3 West Exercises a Questioning Attitude Jessica Tyler picked up a unit of blood from the Blood Bank for a sickle cell patient. Validating, she noticed that the unit of blood did not have a specific label that she was used to seeing on units of blood for sickle cell patients. Verifying, she asked the Blood Bank Technician about the missing label. The Technician looked at the patient profile, and realized that the patient indeed was a sickle cell patient and should receive irradiated blood. Great example of using a Questioning Attitude to catch an error that could have harmed one of our patients. Well done Jessica!

More Clever: All in it together – leaders take the quiz, too!

HR Integration at Main Line

• Every employee has the goal to demonstrate mastery of EP tools by providing evidence of the use of 4 different tools as they apply to their scope of work. • The attached document was developed for staff to document their accomplishments to be submitted to their manager (some expect it quarterly). Or they can enter it directly into the electronic system for performance management.

What is a behavioral interview? Behavioral-based interviewing involves discovering how the interviewee acted in specific employment-related situations. The logic stems from how you behaved in the past will predict how you will behave in the future (i.e. past performance predicts future performance.)

Critical to the sustainment of a safe and reliable culture is hiring new personnel who will fit into the culture we have created.

Managing Turnover

Person

r Leader Behavioral interviews have been found to be helpful in hiring personnel with the attitude and character we want.

During transformation, members select the culture To sustain culture, the culture must select its members

“Success teaches us nothing; only failure teaches...

Develop the capacity to learn from experience.”

Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, US Navy (27 January 1900 – 8 July 1986)

Known as the “Father of the Nuclear Navy”

"It is necessary for us to learn from others' mistakes. You will not live long

enough to make them all yourself.”

Slide 37

Safety Event Communication A nurse received a telephone order from a physician for a medication. She was unfamiliar with the medication and called the pharmacy for assistance. The pharmacist gave instructions on how to calculate the dose. The nurse was concerned about preparing the medication herself but the patient needed the medication urgently so she calculated and administered the dose. The dose was incorrect and the patient required intervention from the rapid response team. Whenever you have concerns it is your responsibility to STOP, validate and verify. If you have attempted to verify, and still have questions or concerns, it is important that you seek out another expert to help you. DO NOT proceed until your concerns are resolved. Also, if you are doing an unfamiliar task or something you have not done in a long time, don’t be afraid to ask for a cross check. When doing complex tasks, two heads are better than one. Challenge Questions: Have you ever been asked to do an unfamiliar or new task? What did you do? Who are the experts you can consult if you need a cross check? If you need to verify?

• Written in simple language • Avoids naming or blaming

Reinforces organization’s error prevention tools and safety behaviors

Challenge questions enable staff to apply lessons learned to own environment

HPI Lessons-Learned

“Physicians do not make safety transformation happen but they can prevent it from happening.”

More accurately stated:

“No hospital can achieve a state of high reliability without the full engagement of the

medical staff.

True physician leadership, optimally from the outset, is required to achieve and sustain a safe

environment for patients.”

Medical Staff Stratification for Safety Culture Leadership

Where are our physicians and how can we engage them?

Characteristics Actions to Engage in Safety Culture Leadership

Level 3 Blunt End Leader for the Common Best

Influences changes in systems and processes to improve the sharp end condition in the interest of all providers and patients

Crystallize role of blunt end leaders Actively engage as leaders and as influencers of Level 1 and 2 physicians

Level 2 Blunt End Leader for My Own Good

Influences changes in systems and processes to improve the sharp end condition for their own benefit

Educate about blunt end role and expectations Develop strategies to:

-Move the willing and able to Level 3 -Moderate the unmovable -Manage disruptors

Level 1 Sharp End Provider

Functions primarily as a care provider, delivering care and service to patients or supports the delivery of care and service

Encourage accountability for individual and team behaviors for safe, productive practice

Slide 48

How Rigorously have you Engaged your Medical Staff?

Were physicians required to take the patient safety error prevention training as part of being credentialed? - Is it part of credentialing criteria for new members? - Are physicians required to take refresher training?

Did they attend patient safety training with staff? - If not, how did they get the training? - Did any physicians step up to become trainers?

Is patient safety, including SSER, discussed in medical staff meetings? - Do physicians start their meetings with safety first?

Are disruptive physicians dealt with fairly and consistently (or do we ride the fence?) Have you identified physician safety champions?

Physician Safety Champions

Concept—select a respected, influential group of physician leaders to mold a high-reliability medical staff culture, beginning with patient safety

Not necessary to influence everyone to tilt the culture, only a segment equivalent to the square root of the number of participants—

Edwards Deming, Ph D

Slide 50

Physician Champions Additional initial education on concepts/ theory Potential roles: - Periodically attend daily huddle - Periodically round with operations colleague - Assist with education of other physicians - Meet periodically as a group of physician champions for additional skill

building and feedback - Serve as a resource to other committees and members of their own group - Participate in strategic safety/ reliability planning

Have high standards and promote professional atmospheres - Provide a safety and reliability perspective in medical staff meetings, medical

group meetings or informal gathering of colleagues - Share stories to reinforce importance of patient safety while also providing

relevant information

CHA High Reliability Leadership Methods

Build and Reinforce Accountability Leaders make reliability a reality by building a culture of collegial teamwork where sound practice habits are adopted by all to reduce human error. Leaders reinforce good habits, correct poor ones, never punish honest mistakes, yet are not afraid to hand out fair consequences to those who choose to adopt reckless behaviors. - Rounding to Influence with 5:1 Feedback - Fair and Just Accountability using the Performance Management Decision Guide - Safety Absolutes - Safety Coaches

Find and Fix System Causes Leaders remove barriers that impede team members from performing effectively and take active steps to find and fix the holes in the Swiss Cheese before they lead to patient or employee harm. - Daily Safety Check-in - Pre-Task and After-Action Huddles - Start the Clock on Safety Critical Issues - Leadership workgroups - Top 10 Lists with Action Plans - Unit Top 2 & Patient Communication Boards

Set the Tone of Safety as a Core Value Leaders show the way by setting expectations and setting good examples. Leaders model, inspire, train and encourage team members to keep themselves and others safe each and every day. - Safety First in Every Meeting - Thank those who Voice Safety Concerns - Safety First in Decisions – What’s best for the Patient? - Communicate Lessons from Safety Events - Encourage Error, Problem and Event Reporting - Educate for Safety Every Day

Do your Leaders Prepare to Participate?

Do Senior Leaders lead, or at least attend and engage, in the huddle?

Do you follow a set agenda?

Are leaders comfortable bringing up

their event reports?

Do you track items for follow-up?

Page 29

Slide 57

Do you Start the Clock on Safety-Critical Issues?

Start the Clock sense of urgency These are the clock ticker issues – issues that pose a significant threat. They may be local or global in nature.

Mobilize those with the expertise to solve the problem and authority to empower action using Condition-Problem-Cause solving

Priority for resolution should be stated (e.g. solved today, solved within 24 hrs); a single-point owner should be identified; the owner should have an action plan; and the issues should be tracked at Daily Check In.

Start the Clock Response to Safety Critical Issues at Community Health North

For these types of issues, Barb Summers at Community was known to request, “Page me by 3:00 pm today with a status report.” Her rationale was twofold – to demonstrate the sense of urgency and to be made aware of any barriers to resolution that may need to be addressed before close of business.

Slide 58

Do you have Unit-Based Safety Huddles?

Do they follow structured agendas?

Page 30

Slide 59

Do you have a Top 10 List?

A leadership tool for focusing efforts… • Shared awareness of issues • Prioritized by safety-critical and urgency • Focus attention and effort on solving problems and

problem causes to prevent recurrence • When a problem is resolved, a new problem is added –

always 10 on the Top 10

Problem Resolution Rate (PRR) = Problems Solved/Problems Identified

Slide 60

Do you have Standardized Action Planning?

1. Assign Executive Sponsor 2. Assign Problem Owner 3. Are goals as described on target? 4. Identify high-level actions (Level 1)

– Assign ONE Problem Owner for each Level 1 Action

5. Identify sub-level action steps (Level 2) – Assign ownership: Who might be best qualified to solve the problem(s)

identified? – What resources might this individual need?

6. Designate Due Dates for each action

Team Survival Characteristics:

Significant blunt-end/sharp-end disconnect. Leader not aware of status of operations at the front line. Individual standards thrive. Workers work around each other, not with each other.

Characteristics: At worst, accountability is top-down driven and punitive; breeds fear. At best, L/I relationship reflects balanced feedback and trust. Yet condition is leader-dependent and, over time, exhausting for the Leader.

Characteristics: Leader is disconnected, yet high degree of teamwork and cross monitoring to get the work done. At best, good results can mask lack of leadership involvement. At worst, practice may differ sharply from – or, over time, deviate from – best-practice expectations.

Characteristics: Individuals “hired for fit” – high degree of motivation to do the right thing. High degree of teamwork and cross-monitoring, focused on best-practice standards. Leader provides real-time, 5:1 feedback; finds and fixes system problems. Strength in I and P accountability results in lesser relative L effort.

Rounding to Influence

Connect to a core value

Assess knowledge and reinforce the specific behavior expectations

Identify problems impacting ability to follow the behavior expectations

Ask about commitment actions

Slide 66

Have you Developed RTI Scripts? Rounding Focus: Attention to Detail 1. Core Value:

Have you been to our CHAMP safety training? When did you go? We’re rounding today to talk about those Safety Habits and tools because we want to ensure we are doing everything we can to keep our patients safe. (share some data or a story to get buy-in)

2. Can-do:

Can you tell me about the A in CHAMP? 1. Attention to Detail 2. Self check using STAR – Stop, Think, Act, Review 3. Helps to avoid skill-based errors when we are rushing, distracted,

interrupted, multi-tasking, fatigued 4. Like being at the candy machine, it helps us focus when in that auto-

pilot mode

3. Concerns: Is there anything that makes doing or thinking STAR difficult?

4. Commitment: Can I count on you to think STAR during your day? Use it when you’re getting a medication, tracing a line, doing the Timeout, loading a medication dispenser, doing 2-patient ID. There are so many times during the day when STAR can help avoid an error.

Slide 67

Have you Set RTI Leader Expectations?

Senior Leaders – 2-4 times a month Directors – twice a week Managers – daily

How do you hold leaders accountable for these expectations? - Go from Huddle - Round in pairs - Log-in forms - One-on-one’s - Report out at leadership meetings

Slide 68

Do you Provide 5:1 Feedback?

Positive Feedback Encouraging someone to continue practicing an observed behavior Top Positive Reinforcements 1. Head nod 2. “Yes” 3. “Thank you”

Negative Feedback Discouraging someone from continuing to practice an observed behavior Top Negative Reinforcements 1. Furrowed brow 2. “No” 3. Offering a practice tip

Adapted from Bringing Out the Best in People, by Dr. Aubrey Daniels (1994)

5 positive bits of feedback for every 1 bit of negative feedback

Slide 69

How Effectively Have you Implemented Fair and Just?

Train all your leaders on the effective use of the PMDG Ask managers if they applied the PMDG when responding to specific events

Assign HR as the process owner for PMDG implementation However, ensure all leaders understand Fair and Just is owned by Operations Ensure the PMDG is officially referenced in HR policies

Round-To-Influence on the importance of reporting and learning from errors and events

Emphasize the approach you are taking to Fair and Just “We don’t punish unintended human error, but there has to be fair consequences when people choose not to comply”

Do managers review the PMDG with staff whenever a performance deviation occurs, or only when they are seeking to show why they need

to “write up” the employee?

Slide 70

Performance Management Decision Guide Adapted from James Reason’s Decision Tree for Determining the Culpability of Unsafe Acts and

the Incident Decision Tree of the National Patient Safety Agency (United Kingdom National Health Service)

Did the individual intend the act?

Would individuals in the same profession and with comparable knowledge, skills, and experience act the same under similar circumstances?

Did the individual depart from policies,

procedures, protocols, or generally accepted

performance expectations?

Is there evidence of ill health or substance abuse?

Did the individual act with malicious intent

(i.e. to cause individual harm or other damage)?

Were there deficiencies in related training, experience,

or supervision?

Were the policies, procedures, protocols, or performance expectations available, understandable,

workable, and in routine use?

Did the individual have a known medical condition?

Were there significant mitigating circumstances?

Is there evidence that the individual chose to take an

unacceptable risk OR has a trend in poor performance or

decision making?

Slide 71

Safety Absolutes are NOT a discipline program

- Instead, they are a communication program for leaders

- “SO IMPORTANT, we do it each and every time”

- Should reduce “unintended” non-compliance

Should be used to encourage peers to speak up

- “That’s a Safety Absolute – we need to do it – I’ll help you”

Absolute: the highest priority for exact compliance

- Compliance must come before any other consideration, including revenue, speed or personal desire

There can still be unintended Safety Absolute violations or Safety Absolute errors driven by system problems

How Effectively have you Implemented Safety Absolutes?

Slide 72

Keys to Safety Coach Program Success

Executive Sponsorship (and expectations)

Engaged lead coach = engaged coaches

Effective Communication and agendas

Manager support - Get them to the monthly meetings! - Explain to your entire staff what they are all about - Reward and recognize them whenever possible - Meet with coaches monthly to discuss goods and

others

Recruit individuals who are well respected by their peers, good communicators and passionate about safety

Slide 73

Do you Measure the Safety Coach Program?

Qualified Safety Coaches by unit Attendance at monthly meetings Number of observations made monthly Linked to senior leader incentives

Do senior leaders and physicians at your institution truly understand and support the Safety Coach program?

Do they come to the Safety Coach meetings periodically and talk to

the Coaches as part of the monthly agenda?

Do they thank them in public venues for what they are doing?

Please add other expertise to the project team if you find it necessary. In your root cause analysis investigation, I am requesting a complete assessment of what happened, how it happened, and why it happened. Your report should include root causes and contributing factors, especially any failed system barriers and/or management barriers. Your report should address any generic implications of this occurrence to all other high-risk areas. Let me know as soon as possible if you identify any issues that need to be quickly communicated outside the department, even if you have not yet completed your analysis. Please provide me with regular progress briefings. I would like a detailed examination of internal and external operating experience. (For example: What opportunities did we fail to make use of to prevent this event? What lessons-learned did we overlook?) In particular, since this case addresses the broader issue of [insert details as appropriate], I would like you to address any recommendations that are relevant from a system perspective. When your analysis is completed, I request that you provide a briefing to senior leadership. Please notify me of any emergent issues associated with the investigation. I would like a final report including an action plan within 30 days. I will be responsible for communicating with the leadership team and to all external agencies. You and the Root Cause Analysis Project Team will be responsible for updating the department(s) involved. This charter may be revised by our mutual agreement.

• Every employee has the goal to demonstrate mastery of EP tools by providing evidence of the use of 4 different tools as they apply to their scope of work.

• The attached document was developed for staff to document their accomplishments to be submitted to their manager (some expect it quarterly, others just want 4/yr). Or they can enter it directly into the electronic system for performance management.

• All of the Recruiters ask at least one Patient Safety question of all applicants: “Tell me about a time when you observed a situation where a patient could have been harmed. What did you do? What was the result?”

Error Prevention Tool Quarterly Report

Name Date Select the quarter of submission:

First Quarter Second Quarter Third Quarter Fourth Quarter 2013

A different example must be used for each quarter

Select the Error Prevention Tool and explain how you specifically used the tool:

Attention to detail – We focus our attention to always think before we act, especially in high risk situations. Self checking using STAR.

StopThink Act Review

Communicate Clearly – We’re responsible for professional, clear, and complete verbal and written communication.

3 way Repeat Back & Read Back Phonetic and Numeric Clarifications Clarifying Questions

Handoff Effectively – We provide effective handoffs of patient, tasks, and materials by taking the time to give appropriate information and ensuring understanding and ownership.

SituationBackground Assessment Recommendation

Speak up for Safety – We use good judgment at all times to ensure our actions are the best. We use an assertion and escalation technique to act on a responsibility to protect patients & co-workers in a manner of mutual respect.

Question & Confirm Use ARCC to escalate safety concerns

Ask a Question Make a Request Voice a Concern Use Chain of Command

Stop the Line

Got your Back! – We make reliability by building our own sound practice habits and in our co-workers. We’re accountable not just for our own actions by for our teammates’ as well.

Peer Checking Peer Coaching

Tips for Leaders• Redirect unrelated reports and conversation• Give clear direction about prioritization• For issues, identify a single Problem Owner and time

for resolution (“page me by 3:00 this afternoon if the equipment has not been fixed”)

Lines for Leadersto encourage high-reliability thinking• How do you know you had no problems?• What immediate actions did you take?• Is this happening in other places? Could this happen

in other places?• What other areas does this impact?• How are you preparing your team for that task?• What Safety Behavior error prevention technique

should be used?If any deficiencies that impact safe care:• That’s a Safety Critical Issue that requires Rapid

Response…

We huddle at the start of the day to maintain situational awareness of immediate problems impacting SAFETY & QUALITY of patient care at the front line.

We give direction about priority and responsibility for problem resolution.

Daily Check-InAn HPI Leadership Method for Performance Excellence

Daily Check-In Agenda1. LOOK BACK – Significant safety or quality

issues from the last 24 hours/last shift

2. LOOK AHEAD – Anticipated safety or quality issues in next 24 hours/next shift

3. Follow up on Start-the-Clock Safety Critical Issues

How We Do It• Include direct reports and others who know the status of operations in your areas of responsibility.• Establish a standing time. Schedule the time on your calendar and stick to it.• Keep it short – 10 to 15 minutes at the most – and hold it as a “stand-up” meeting.• Keep it focused. Follow a routine, 3-point agenda:

Prepare to ParticipateConsider yourself and ask others:• Do we have any high-risk patients or

procedures?• Do we anticipate any non-routine procedures or

tasks?• Are we dealing with any situations or conditions

that distract our ability to focus or think critically about our patients?

• Are there any safety issues that I know about that may impact other departments?

• Do we have what we need to deliver safe, quality care? Are there any deficiencies in information, equipment, supplies, or staff that will make it hard to deliver safe, high quality care?

• What conditions outside our unit or outside our hospital could impact our ability to deliver safe, quality care today?

If any of the above…What actions am I taking to have a safe day?If no issues…

We have what it takes toCreate a Safe Day

Mobilize to solve safety-critical issues or deficiencies:1. Identify the Problem Owner and experts2. State time to resolve with a “start-the-clock” sense

of urgency – how quickly can we close this hole in the Swiss cheese

3. Add issue to a “start-the-clock” follow-up list
