Definition of “Improvement Science”

  • A field of research focused on healthcare and process

improvement at individual provider, microsystem, and system levels

  • Determines improvement strategies that work in

assuring effective and safe patient care

  • Related terms:
  • translational science
  • implementation science
  • evidence-based practice
  • knowledge translation
  • research utilization

  • ISRN Mission: To advance the scientific foundation for quality

improvement, safety and efficiency through transdisciplinary research addressing healthcare systems, patient- centeredness, and integration of evidence into practice.

  • Unique infrastructure for conducting improvement research—

a collaboratory for research

  • NINR/NIH-supported improvement infrastructure for a

research network.

Improvement Science Research Network Study Guidelines

  • Network Studies are landmark studies

conducted across multiple settings

  • Rigorous design
  • “Science of team science” for virtual

collaboration

  • Co‐led by scientists and clinicians
  • Network PIs; Site PIs
  • Network members engaged in studies

BACKGROUND

  • In frontline nursing, workarounds are a

response to first order operational failures exposing patients to errors and creating inefficiencies in care. (Hassmiller)

  • Endemic shortages of nursing staff and difficult

working conditions present substantial barriers

  • n the path to improvement. (Tucker)

Small Troubles, Adaptive Responses (STAR‐2): Frontline Nurse Engagement in Quality Improvement

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Aims of STAR‐2

  • Describe first-order operational failures (defects)
  • Investigate relationships among
  • Detection of first-order operational failures
  • Organizational context, and
  • Outcomes related to quality improvement

Results will guide redesign to decrease defects

slide-13

Research Approach

  • Conduct in the ISRN “research laboratory”
  • Multisite, cross‐sectional, multivariate research
  • 14 sites, 42 med/surg units, ~840 RNs
  • 5 Pediatric Hospitals
  • Analyze data using descriptive, multivariate, and

path analysis methods

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Data Collection-Plan

  • Identical across all sites
  • Supported though Coordinating Center
  • Data aggregated via electronic database
  • Collected 10 shifts over 20 days
  • Analysis
  • Aggregate
  • Site‐Specific report

Regulatory-IRB

  • 14 Sites

– UTHSCSA IRB – 13 Sites – Independent Review – 1 site deferred to UTHSCSA IRB

  • Approvals

– 12 Expedited (Category 7) – 2 Full Board

  • Consent

– 11 sites required documented consent – 3 documented consent not required

Results*…..thus far

  • 8 of 14 hospitals completed to date
  • 429 RNs engaged

– 89% of expected enrollment for 8 sites

  • 2419 pocket cards submitted

– 9.7 cards per RN

  • 16,306 operational failures reported

*Analysis of 6 additional hospitals along with systems variables is currently in progress.

Discussion

  • Frequency of operational failures occurring in

med‐surg units

  • Frontline engagement, context, and quality

improvement

  • Satisfaction Rating: ISRN infrastructure is

effective for conducting multisite improvement research:

– Enthusiasm for engagement in rigorous research – Broad national representation – Clinical relevance – Rapid deployment – Rapid completion – Scale up and spread

PBRN Possibilities

  • Systems thinking in primary care
  • Quality and safety
  • Culture of patient safety
  • Patient satisfaction
  • Team-based care
