Awareness of Problem Statement

HealthGrades 2013 has reported that 1 out of

every 10 postoperative Medicare patients

currently dies after developing either:

• Pulmonary embolism/ Deep Vein thrombosis
• Pneumonia/Sepsis
• Shock/ Cardiac Arrest
• Gastrointestinal Bleeding

10

The Sequence of Failure to Rescue

• Patient found “dead in bed”
• Code Blue called
• Everyone runs
• ACLS performed
• Chaos ensues
• If ROSC patient goes to ICU
• If not patients goes to morgue
• Everyone goes back to what they were doing.

Galvanizing the Initiative

• Until the mid 1990’s few ever asked:

** Why did this patient arrest? AND… ** Could we have prevented it?

12

Turn of the Millennium

• Appreciation that most in-hospital cardio-respiratory

arrests have a clear “prodrome” began to emerge.

• Schein et al. 1990
• Hillman et al., 1991
• Silber et al., 1992
• Smith and Wood, 1998
• McQuillan et al., 1998
• Buist et al., 1999
• Goldhill et al., 1999
• Hillman et al., 2001
• Kause et al., 2004
• Patients don’t suddenly become critically ill,

they are just suddenly recognized as such

The Medical Emergency Team

• Developed in response to

the understanding that arrests don’t suddenly happen and that we should be able to intervene

• The MET is not just a team, it

is a patient safety system

• Consists of:
• The Afferent Limb (recognition)
• The Efferent Limb (response)
• Administrative System to collect and analyze data
• Education system to train staff
• Other versions include: Rapid Response Team, Patient at

Risk Team, Critical Care Out Reach Team, etc.

Recent Systematic Review: Adult Non- ICU CA

Adult Total Mortality

What does this tell us?

• These numbers have changed little since the first

systematic review (there are now at least 7)

• Point estimates have shift slightly
• CA incidence reduced by ≈40%
• Mortality reduced by≈ 15%
• Confidence intervals

have tightened

• Our current model

seems to have hit a limit;

• But Why???

Evidence of Afferent Limb Failure

Author Year Salient Point 1 Salient Point 2 Salient Point 3

Buist et al 1999 Median time between documented instability and cardiac arrest = 6.5 hrs Range 0-432 hrs Median # physician visits = 2 without any action Calzavacca et al 2008 Early recognition is most robust component Boniatti et al 2013 Calls delayed 21.4% ↑ delay with physician activators 61.8% mortality with delayed calls Simmes et al 2012 16% activations delayed 1-2 days Vetro et al 2011 20% had objective warning signs, but no MET call Shearer et al 2012 4.04% of adult population were medically unstable Of those patients, 42% did NOT have RRT called Despite 69.2% of the staff recognizing they met criteria Bucknall et al 2013 Most patients meeting MET criteria never have call made Increases hospital mortality at 30 and 60 days Oglesby et al 2011 71% ICU admissions delayed from floors Adelstein et al 2011 Despite process improvements- 26% of episodes of deterioration Associated with delays in care Frydshou and Gillesberg 2013 Only ½ ICU admits went through an RRT Guinane et al 2013 14% of sample met MET criteria – 4% activation rate Those meeting criteria had 2 X’s LOS

18

Underlying Causes?

• Certainly some is due to hierarchy / Concept of

patient “ownership”

• More likely poor quality of patient monitoring on

general wards

• Intermittent nature
• Poor fidelity
• Inaccuracy
• Delayed communication

Since 2009 TJC Patient Safety Goal #16………

• Despite the wide

implementation of RRSs this has not gotten much better.

• We can provide a response

team (better management and treatment) but we can’t

seem to eliminate the failure to recognize the need to activate that team

20

“Should we call for help?”

Response to this Afferent Failure: Risk Scoring Systems

Author Year Finding Finding

Subbe et al 2001 MEWS “SOCCER” 2006 Extended criteria catch earlier signs Bell et al 2006 Extended criteria → low sensitivity & ↑ workload Restricted criteria → missed

• pportunities to

intervene Cretikos et al 2007 ↑specificity for combo vs ↓ sensitivity and PPV 15.7% Maurice & Simpson 2007 Intermittent vs unable to id at risk patients Gao et al 2007 Systematic review 36 studies No scoring system adequate

21

Response to this Afferent Failure: Safety Culture Improvement

• Teamwork Tools
• Adaptive Approaches
• Emphasizing Wisdom of Frontline Staff
• Staff Safety Assessments
• Comprehensive Unit Safety Programs
• TEAMSTEPPs training
• Learning from Defects

22

In response to this Afferent Failure: "In Pursuit of High Reliability”

Sensitivity to operations: Preserving constant awareness by leaders and staff of the state of the systems and processes that affect patient

• care. This awareness is key to noting risks and preventing them.
• Changing historic vital sign collection process
• Total patient situational awareness vs.

“snapshot in time”

• Recognizes the dynamic nature of

patient condition

• Providing caregivers with essential data to intervene sooner
• Longitudinal data trending
• Identify vital sign patterns predictive of patient deterioration
• Analyze “inter-relationships” between independent parameters
• Integrate alarm management with current nurse call equipment
• Development of meaningful alarm notification algorithms

A new call to arms

Can we do better?

• The RRS Afferent Limb Consensus Conference

concluded that, at present and for the foreseeable future, identifying and stratifying who is at risk for clinical deterioration on general wards is difficult and likely to be imperfect despite much research.

• Patients are dying and being harmed and we can’t

wait

• They issued a call to industry to partner with

clinicians to develop and implement continuous high fidelity monitoring systems that were acceptable to patients, had minimal false alarms, could improve nurse workflow and workload and prevent unrecognized deterioration.

Surveillance Monitoring

• Why?
• Because of Afferent Limb Failure
• APSF (2011)
• Continuous monitoring while on

parenteral narcotics

• Caregiver notification system
• Joint Commission Sentinel Event Alert (2012)
• Systematic protocols for assessing, management & opioid dosing
• Continuous monitoring of oxygenation & ventilation
• Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (2012)
• Respiratory Rate, sedation, and pulse oximetry monitoring of all patients receiving PCA
• Joint Commission New Safety Goal (2014)
• Alarm Management & Safety
• Reduce alarm fatigue
• Phased implementation by 2016

Surveillance vs. Condition Monitoring

• Condition Monitoring
• The patient has known problems or a predefined risk

for a problem that we are watching for, eg. OSA

• Actionable alarms are likely to be more common
• Surveillance Monitoring is what we should be

able to do on the general wards

• Risk profile is unclear and possibly undefinable
• We don’t know who is at risk for what
• Actionable alarms are likely to be less common
• We watch not so much for the problem but for the

changing risk profile.

A new addition to the RRS

Taenzar et al. Anesthesiology 2011

Requirements

• ???Needs to be affordable
• Acceptable False alarm rate
• Mobile (hence wireless)
• Able to provide usable

data to clinicians (communication, human factors informed data displays etc.)

• Needs to be tolerable to the patient (minimal “probes” and

especially no annoying bedside alarms)

• Needs to integrate into nurse workflows and ideally free

nursing up for other tasks

• Customizable and individually adaptable
• Interface with EMRs

Dartmouth Experience

• Taenzar et al. (2010) examine use of pulse ox

surveillance monitoring on a post-surgical ward (orthopedics)

• Average number of alarms was 4/pt/day
• Observed deaths were 2 compared to 4 in pre-

implementation period

Pulse Oximetry

• Taenzar et al. (2014) found in a group of patients

at high risk of prolonged desats (OSA) manually collected pulse ox values over-estimated saturation compared to continuous non-invasive pulse ox surveillance monitoring by an avg of 6.5%.

Rescue events dropped from 3.4 (1.89-4.85) to 1.2 (0.53-1.88) p=0.01 Unanticipated ICU transfer dropped from 5.6 (3.7–7.4) to 2.9 (1.4–4.3), p=0.02 Cohort comparison wards (other surgical services) had no significant change for either outcome. Taenzar et al. 2011 Anesthesiology

We do poorly as well

In Fiscal year 2015:

• 40% of sudden deaths in Johns Hopkins Hospital were
• n Zayed 11 East
• 32 Rapid Response Team calls were made and of those

calls: * 5 patients experienced acute respiratory compromise, requiring emergent intubation

• So what is best practice for clinicians to detect early

signs of deterioration sooner?

• What is best practice to support and build nurse capacity

in a rapid paced, complex surgical unit?

33

Evidence base for the intervention

• Surveillance monitoring- no official definition, from the literature:

continuous vital sign monitoring, that can measure single or multiple parameters, with automated alarm alerts sent to a mobile nurse call device, without requiring a change in the staffing level

• Use surveillance monitoring to provide data of early deterioration

due to sepsis, carbon dioxide narcosis, or terminal arousal failure due to obstructive sleep apnea

• Automate vital sign collection to give a more accurate picture of the

patient’s physiologic state

• Empower new graduate nurses with continuous vital sign data to

incorporate with assessments to give an integrated clinical picture to the provider

• Fulfill the National Patient Safety Goal to make alarms safe for all

patients

34

Intervention

• IRB approved
• Wireless monitor deployed that recorded continuous vital signs
• HR, RR, Oxygen saturation, BP, Temp
• Created escalation system of alarms and built-in delays to control

false alarms reaching the nurses

• Multi level Education program
• Training
• Feedback
• Listened to nurses and adjusted plans based on their feedback

Pilot Implementation

• Training

* All staff education sessions * Device set up * Disposable supply management * Alarm parameters * Data collection

• Impact

* Paradigm shift * Use translational framework and methods * Teach data integration * Connect the dots to show it’s working

38

Purpose: Demonstrate that continuous vital sign monitoring can identify early, actionable signs of deterioration in adult, postoperative inpatient, to prevent failure to rescue

PPV= Number of True Alarms Number of True + False Alarms ICU’s are typically in 11-15% range Surveillance monitoring was 86 % from 1/30/16 – 3/8/2016 Findings of real, actionable types

• f early deterioration:
• 3 Pulmonary embolisms
• 2 New onset a fib
• 3 SIRS/Sepsis
• 3 AMI
• 2 Autonomic dysreflexia in

paraplegic spine patients

• Multiple Hypertension- all

cause

• Multiple Sleep related

disordered breathing

9/25/2013 39

What we have found (soon to be published)

• False alarms rates are acceptable≈30%
• Large numbers of patients (1/3) never alarm
• A small number of patients account for the vast

majority of alarms, especially false ones

• This is an opportunity for targeted improvement
• Patients like it
• Nurses like it
• Creates real opportunities for saving patients

who otherwise might be found “dead in bed”

Lessons Learned

• Clinical

* Keep repeating the essential messages * The details matter- lost equipment * Communicate often to the team * Be alert to success and needed tweaks

• Biomedical

* Start early * Involve all levels to get a good picture * Know limitations * Know competing priorities * Align all the moving parts as best you can

41

Future Ongoing Initiatives

• Communicate findings to colleagues
• Garner interest through internal ongoing updates
• Align with institutional strategic priorities
• Align with national standards
• Persevere to maintain interest
• Keep results on front burner

42

The Goal

Unrecognized clinical deterioration

• n general wards resulting in

Failure to Rescue should be a

NEVER EVENT
