A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF SAFETY CULTURE Part I

The Armstrong Institute Model to Improve Care 4 Comprehensive Unit based Safety Program (CUSP) 1.Educate staff on science of safety 2.Identify defects 3.Recruit executive to adopt unit 4.Learn from one defect per quarter 5.Implement teamwork tools Translating Evidence Into Practice (TRiP) 1.Summarize the evidence in a checklist 2.Identify local barriers to implementation 3.Measure performance 4.Ensure all patients get the evidence Engage Educate Execute Evaluate Reducing CLABSI Emerging Evidence Local Opportunities to Improve Collaborative learning Technical WorkAdaptive Work Pre-Work: Measure clinician and staff perceptions of safety culture (HSOPS Survey)

The JHAH Model to Improve Care 5 Comprehensive Unit based Safety Program (CUSP ) Pre-work: Measure clinician and staff perception of safety culture (HSOPS survey) 1.Educate staff on science of safety 2.Identify defects 3.Assign executive to adopt unit 4.Learn from one defect per quarter 5.Implement teamwork tools 1.Wash your hands 2.Use chlorhexidine wipes 3.Use full barrier precautions 4.Avoid the femoral site 5.Ask every day if lines can be removed Central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) Technical WorkAdaptive Work

Safety Culture Matters Safety culture is related to outcomes –Patient outcomes –Clinician outcomes Safety culture influences the effectiveness of other safety and quality interventions –Can enhance or inhibit effects of other interventions Safety culture can change through intervention –Best evidence so far is for culture interventions that use multiple components 6 Huang et al., 2010; Mardon et al., 2010; MacDavitt et al., 2007; Singer et al., 2009; Sorra et al., 2012; Weaver, Haynes et al., 2011; Morello et al., 2012; Van Nord et al., 2010; Weaver et al., in press

Culture Behavior on the Job Outcomes -Patient & Family Safety - Care Provider Safety  Priority of safety relative to other goals as collectively perceived by unit members  Culture is the context that defines expectations and guides team members’ behaviors, attitudes, & perceptions on the job What will I get praised for? What will I get reprimanded for? Culture is continually evolving and can be changed Multi-pronged approach best What is Safety Culture?

What Are the Core Aspects of Safety Culture… 8 Culture of Safety Communication patterns & language Feedback, reward, and corrective action practices Formal and informal leader actions & expectations Teamwork processes (e.g., back-up behavior) Resource allocation practices Error-detection and correction systems

MEASURING SAFETY CULTURE Part II

Why Measure Safety Culture Many hospitals globally measure safety culture using some type of survey Results help guide improvement efforts Regular efforts are valuable in understanding what helps or hinders your efforts to improve Use reliable and valid survey instrument Hospital Survey on Patient Safety (HSOPS)

What is the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety (HSOPS)? Sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality US federal agency charged with conducting and supporting research to improve patient safety and care Measures all six aspects of safety culture Armstrong Institute in partnership with CeCity developed an online HSOPS application (“the HSOPS App”) Allows participants to complete the survey online and survey coordinators to access detailed reports of results Takes about minutes to complete Participants are asked to choose 1 to 5 for each of 42 questions  1 Strongly Disagree  2 Disagree  3 Neither Agree nor Disagree  4 Agree  5 Strongly Agree  1 Never  2 Rarely  3 Sometimes  4 Most of the time  5 Always

HSOPS Scoring Safety culture is not about what any one person thinks – it’s shared. Scores represent the % of positive responses –% who gave a score of 4 or 5  1 Strongly Disagree  2 Disagree  3 Neither Agree nor Disagree  4 Agree  5 Strongly Agree  1 Never  2 Rarely  3 Sometimes  4 Most of the time  5 Always

HSOPS ADMINISTRATION Part III

Effective surveys… 1.Are confidential and anonymous No way to link responses with address or other individual information Results reported at unit-level Critical that the survey coordinator, project team, and leadership focus on survey as a tool for learning and improvement 2.Have a clear reason and motivation to complete them Must be clear to staff why you are asking them to complete this survey, what will happen with results, and what will be done based on their input 3.Are publically supported by both formal and informal unit leaders If leaders and colleagues view the survey as important and worthy of their time, frontline staff will be more motivated to contribute their input 14

HSOPS Coordinator Responsibilities HSOPS Survey Coordinator –Leads HSOPS administration at your ICU level –Encourages staff to respond to the survey JHAH ICU HSOPS planning period: November 4 - November 9 JHAH ICU HSOPS survey open period: November 9 to 22,

You now have access to the HSOPS app You can only access the HSOPS app with a JHAH portal username and password We sent all HSOPS coordinators listed on the CUSP/CLABSI team registration form an with temporary log-in information Try logging in using these instructions: 16 Log in here: Use these credentials: Username: Your complete address (e.g. Default Password: Your last name and first initial, capitalized (e.g. John Smith would use “SmithJ”)

Survey coordinators will use the HSOPS App to… 1.Collect new HSOPS data –Send invitation s to survey participants – s contain a unique link that participants will click on to complete the survey 2.Check on your unit’s response rate –Goal = 60% response rate –Stretch goal = 80% response rate or higher 3.Download a pdf report that summarizes survey results for your unit –Reports will be available after the survey closes 17

HSOPS Administration method 1: Sending surveys out using staff 1.Determine whom to survey 2.Compile lists (Pre-op, OR, PACU) 3.Click “Send s” 22

HSOPS Administration method 1: Sending surveys out using staff 4.Upload a list of survey participant addresses for participating work area(s) 5.The app will send each study participant an which contains a unique link to the survey. 23

Is your list up to date? 24 Make sure your list is up to date, check for: Staff on administrative or extended sick leave, Staff who appear in more than one staffing category or hospital area/unit, Staff who have moved to another hospital area/unit, Staff who no longer work at the hospital, and Other changes that may affect the accuracy of your list addresses

HSOPS Administration method 1: Sending surveys out using staff 6.Check survey response rate weekly 25

HSOPS Administration method 2: Setting up HSOPS survey work station 26 For staff who do not have addresses

28 HSOPS Administration method 2: Setting up HSOPS survey work station For staff who do not have addresses

29 HSOPS Administration method 2: Setting up HSOPS survey work station For staff who do not have addresses

Aim for a response rate of 60% or higher Response rate = Number of respondents who completed the online survey divided by the total number of unit members who were invited to complete the survey Safety culture reflects the shared perceptions among unit members –Response rate of 60% is minimum necessary for a relatively representative sample –Important for validity and reliability of your results 30

When the survey period closes: Access Your HSOPS Report 31 Available after JHAH ICU Survey “Closes” on November 22, 2014 Download aggregate report to obtain results of the HSOPS for your work area, including charts and graphs

Sample Final Report 32 Percent positive = Green Percent neutral = Yellow Percent negative = Red

Next Step: Create a Debriefing Plan for your Survey Results Debriefing is… A semi-structured conversation among frontline clinicians and staff that is usually led by a designated facilitator Purpose… Encourage open communication, transparency, and interactive discussion about the survey results across all levels To engage clinicians and staff in generating and implementing their ideas about how to create an effective safety culture in their work area 33

Next Step: Create a Debriefing Plan for your Survey Results We’re here to help! Learn how and what tools to use to debrief your results with frontline staff. Debrief Training Webinar: Tuesday, December 3pm AST Schedule your debrief session for: January 11, 2014 (Armstrong Institute staff will be there in person) 34
