1 THE JOINT COMMISSION PATIENT BLOOD MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE MEASURES
TAC OCT. 2011

2 Jan/Feb 2007: Blood Management performance goals-identify, develop and test a set of standardized measures to help assess blood management in the hospital setting. April 2008-TAP identified 19 measures-call for public comment. Dec 2008-TAP recommends 12 of the 19 measures be tested Sept-Alpha Testing Dec 2009-Alpha review, recommends 7 measures move forward Feb-Aug 2010 draft set of PBM tested at hos across the country Dec 2010 Submitted to National Quality Forum

3 PBM-NQF Although not endorsed for use at the national level by NQF at present, these measures are an excellent tool for healthcare organizations to evaluate the transfusion consent process, blood utilization, blood administration documentation and identify processes related to elective surgery that may decrease the need for blood and improve patient safety.

4 PBM-01 Transfusion Consent
Patients with a signed consent who received information about the risks, benefits and alternatives prior to the initial blood transfusion or the initial transfusion was deemed a medical emergency

5 Transfusion Consent Rationale PBM-01
The rate of transfusion consent in US is unknown Studies in other countries show that there is poor documentation and room for improvement Involving patients in healthcare decisions is a national priority

6 Feedback on PBM-01 Hospitals support this measure because information about transfusion is not consistently given to patients Information is provided by a variety of staff Staff need education about the risks, benefits and alternatives Informed consent for blood transfusions is not required by all states Consent process varies between hospitals

7 PBM-02 RBC Transfusion Indication
RBC units transfused with pre-transfusion hemoglobin or hematocrit result and clinical indication documented.

8 RBC Transfusion Indication Rationale PBM-02
Information about total blood use could be used to determine benchmarks by diagnoses or procedure Promotes a standardized process of Checking a lab result prior to each transfusion Documentation of a reason why blood was transfused RBC data elements include: Clinical indication for RBC’s, pre-transfusion H/H result, RBC ID

9 Feedback on PBM-02 Hospitals have different “acceptable” pre-transfusion lab values Difficult to identify transfusions during surgery Point of care testing not used in all hospitals during surgery

10 Feedback on PBM-02, con’t Difficult to determine if documentation of clinical indication was sufficient No standardized definition used for “bleeding” Lack of national guidelines such as pre-transfusion lab results not being required prior to transfusion.

11 PBM-03 Plasma Transfusion Indication
Plasma units with pre-transfusion laboratory testing and clinical indication documented.

12 Plasma Transfusion Indication Rationale PBM-03
No standardized method for hospitals to determine which patients should receive plasma Promotes a standardized process of: Checking a lab result prior to transfusion Documentation of a reason why plasma was transfused

13 Feedback on PBM-03 Reasons for giving plasma are unclear and conflicting at times An INR >2 and “bleeding” should be the only clinical indication

14 PBM-04 Platelet Transfusion Indication
Platelet doses transfused with pre-transfusion platelet testing and clinical indication documented.

15 Platelet Transfusion Indication Rationale PBM-04
There is no standardized method for hospitals to determine which patients receive platelets Transfusion of platelets associated with adverse events Promote a standardized process of Checking a lab result prior to transfusion Documentation of a reason why platelets were transfused

16 Feedback on PBM-04 There is concern that establishing a critical value would trigger increased platelet use Hospitals are unclear about: Whether platelets are indicated when patients on Plavix The definition of ‘thrombocytopenia’

17 PBM-05 Blood Administration Documentation
Transfusions of blood units with documentation for all of the following: Patient identification, transfusion order and blood ID number confirmed prior to the initiation of transfusion. Date and time of transfusion. Blood pressure, pulse and temperature recorded pre, during and post transfusion.

18 Blood Administration Documentation Rationale PBM-05
Transfusion process is very complex and has been identified as a high-risk area for error Standardizing the process will enable reliable tracking of potential adverse events nationally Numerous errors are associated with incorrect patient ID Administration data elements Patient ID verification, Tx order, Tx start date, Tx start time, Vital sign monitoring, Blood ID number

19 Feedback on PBM-05 Some data elements are difficult to collect when blood products are transfused during surgery The data element criteria are standards of care and already being collected “Transfusion orders” are usually not required during surgery.

20 PBM-06 Preoperative Anemia Screening
Patients have documentation of preoperative anemia screening days before Anesthesia Start Date

21 Preoperative Anemia Screening Rationale PBM-06
Preoperative anemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality National audit found that 35% of patients scheduled for joint replacement therapy had a hgb <13 at preadmission testing. Formal protocols for early detection, eval and management of high-blood loss surgeries has been identified as an unmet need. 1. And question remains if anemic patients should have surgery if not emergent.

22 Feedback on PBM-06 Information is not done or not available
One barrier is who will manage care prior to surgery Information about when the patient was scheduled for surgery was not always in the medical record Consider adding another measure to evaluate if anemia screening was effective Is the result on the patients clinic chart from pre-op dr. visit, or was preop testing done in house? 4. If preop screening was done, did anyone follow-up on the results?

23 PBM-07 Preoperative Blood Type and Antibody Testing
Patients with documentation of preoperative type and screen or type and crossmatch completed prior to Anesthesia Start Time.

24 Preoperative Blood Type & Screening Rationale PBM-07
This measure is supported by TJC National Patient Safety Goals Patient safety is a national priority This issue affects the majority of hospitals and other high-blood use procedures

25 Feedback on PBM-07 This is a patient safety issue
Hospitals should document whether blood is available on pre-procedure checklist Some hospitals would like to see this measure be required and completed sooner than anesthesia start time Type and Screening NOT completed prior to surgery happens frequently 2. There is no requirement that surgery can’t start until the pre-procedure list is complete

26 Next Steps for PBM Measures
Encourage use of the PBM measures at the local level HHS is organizing further data collection efforts The seven blood measures have been added to the measure reserve library. They can be used as non-core measures until they are called upon for national use. Historically, this occurs in alignment with CMS Funding pending for retooling the specifications for retrieval in electronic medical record How are we going to proceed with use at local level, how to track some of this data? AIM is one way to begin to monitor and track blood usage, there is a module 11 that is capable of “talking” to electronic medical records and pulling some of this data from patient charts. Must be using AIM module 1 first however.

27 Appropriate Inventory Management
AIM Module I  19 blood centers have completely implemented (~400 hospitals participating) AIM Module I version 1.1-Hospital ADL Allows the participating hospitals to provide electronic files to automate their Module I data input 11hospitals participating using ADL Module 1 pulls from HCLL and Mediware is providing the script free on their website. Currently Module 1 automated data uploads are available for Mediware, LifeServe Cerner Millennium, Sunquest in process 17

28 AIM-Module 1 Create a community approach to blood management to ensure patient transfusion needs are met Determine how many days worth of inventory are needed based on many criteria Benchmark and trend community inventories against hospital usages using a national database This is the module that you are all familiar with-some of you are starting to use it for tracking transfused and wasted units as well as inventory. Criteria used for determining how many days worth of inventory are needed: annualized patient transfusion needs, hospital size, clinical services offered, distance from blood provider, storage capacities, blood product needs for disaster planning.

29 Transparency Provides Trust – A Partnership
AIM allows for a very special partnership. Here is a snapshot of the MVRBC. It is the opening page on the hospitals login. With data collected it allows the Blood Center to be able to collect and project what is needed to meet your hospital needs. By tracking the inventory, the wastage and the % transfused. Allows us to continue to be proactive with your needs and inventory.

30 Inventory at hospital has safety and financial impact:
Does hospital maintain an adequate blood inventory to meet hospital/patient needs? Does transfusion service maintain appropriate inventory to manage financial impact? Ideal Inventory is the PAR Levels we have established for your hospitals based on use and pt population Issuable is what is on the shelf that morning before the order is placed One day is an aver. that has been distributed daily over 6 months. Recalculated each month. Days Worth is the issuable divided by One day

31 You are capable of picking how you want to benchmark ex
You are capable of picking how you want to benchmark ex. size, usage, service line etc… Usage Very High is transfusion at 4001 and greater

32 Leukoreduced Red Cells : Detailed Graphical Display
Hospital name: DePaul Health Center    Graph type: Days Worth of Inventory   Blood group: All Blood Groups Cluster: All selected categories - RBC Usage - Very High Cluster count: 10 Hospital Average Cluster Average Standard Deviation Hospital Days Cluster Days Jul 2010 4.68 7.11 2.84 4 6.92 Aug 2010 2.82 7.13 Sep 2010 2.48 7.12 Oct 2010 2.18 5 7.39 Nov 2010 2.64 7.35 Dec 2010 2.96 6 7.84 Jan 2011 2.95 7.2 Feb 2011 3.85 7.37 Benchmarking DePaul their inventory is aver 4 1/2days to other very high users at 7 days. Again savings inventory not sitting on your shelf. Allowing fresher units to come into the inventory.

33 Hospital name: DePaul Health Center
Graph type: Wastage as a Percentage of Distributed   Blood group: All Blood Groups Cluster: All selected categories - RBC Usage - Very High Cluster count: 23 Hospital Percentage Cluster Percentage Hospital Average Cluster Average Standard Deviation Jul 2010 1.1 0.45 0.34 1.46 Aug 2010 0.37 1.71 Sep 2010 0.31 0.99 Oct 2010 0.23 0.32 1.23 Nov 2010 0.41 1.01 Dec 2010 0.52 0.57 2.32 Jan 2011 0.24 0.82 Feb 2011 0.16 0.58 You are able to look at wastage in 2 ways. First you can get an overview and see if there is a particular month with high wastage, and it can be viewed by a bar graph explaining the wastage.

34 Leukoreduced Red Cells : Detailed Graphical Display
Hospital name: DePaul Health Center    Graph type: Wastage as a Percentage of Distributed   Blood group: All Blood Groups Cluster: All selected categories - RBC Usage - Very High Cluster count: 23 Improper Communication Improper Handling Breakage/Bag Integrity Patient Not Ready Cancelled Order Patient Expired Equipment Failure Outdated Failed Visual Inspection Jul 2010 0.27 0.55 Aug 2010 Sep 2010 Oct 2010 0.23 Nov 2010 0.20 Dec 2010 0.52 Jan 2011 Feb 2011 Average 0.02 0.17 0.03 0.06 Cluster 0.01 0.05 0.00 0.26 As you can see there is no wastage due to Outdated product. But you can see where there is need for improvement on handling. This can also be tracked by service line. Use this for Process improvement, education tool on handling of product outside of the blood bank. You can show this data of other like hospitals to staff.

35 Leukoreduced Red Cells : Detailed Graphical Display
Hospital name: DePaul Health Center    Graph type: Inventory Age at Receipt   Blood group: All Blood Groups Cluster: All selected categories - RBC Usage - Very High Cluster count: 23 This hospital’s age of red cells is fresher due to the lesser days worth of inventory. Direct correlation between days of inventory, wastages, and age of products.

36 Leukoreduced Red Cells : Detailed Graphical Display
Hospital name: DePaul Health Center    Graph type: Transfusions as a Percentage of Received   Blood group: All Blood Groups Cluster: All selected categories - RBC Usage - Very High Cluster count: 8 Hospital Percentage Cluster Percentage Hospital Average Cluster Average Standard Deviation Jul 2010 89.32 89.22 94.84 91.41 33.97 Aug 2010 93.16 82.37 16.88 Sep 2010 96.5 99.14 6.86 Oct 2010 92.34 95.45 7.9 Nov 2010 96.31 90.78 8.42 Dec 2010 90.65 88.38 11.86 Jan 2011 93.35 90.88 7.27 Feb 2011 107.09 97.71 8.41 Also can benchmark % distributed to % transfused. As you can see DePaul average is at 95% and the cluster is at 91.4% Having the right product there at the right time to meet pt needs with fresher products and also controlling cost.

37 AIM Hospital Community
Potential to have thousands of hospitals of all sizes and services providing data to a true national data base accessible to all participating hospitals User group of hospital transfusion committee members discussing findings and seeking best practices AIM uses the established blood utilization review mechanism without the need for additional staff 38

38 Summary The PBM measures are general measures that collect data on all patients that can be further analyzed by diagnoses and/or procedure code, age group or appropriateness as studies become available The abstraction burden for PBM measures using paper based records is labor intensive and would capture only a percentage of the transfusions The lack of national guidelines for blood impacts the ability to standardize clinical indications

39 Summary AIM provides blood centers a tool to assist hospitals and physicians to better manage and use the available blood supply while: Lowering the risk of transfusion complications Lowering the cost of blood, and Maintaining appropriate inventory levels to ensure patient transfusion support 39
