Best Care – Best Way – Every Patient – Every Day

Cut “harm across the board” by 37% 2

2012 Breakthrough in Readmission: From 246 to 144

Reduced 30 Day Readmission Rate From 9% to 5%

Drivers of safety that produce these results include: Patient and family engagement - Caught You Washing” cards - “Turn” signals throughout hospital - Joint Camp/Heart Camp Physician led improvement efforts. Empowering staff to “speak up” in the interest of safety leads to a culture of safety. Pearls

Pearls (continued) Development of best practice protocols and checklists. This can lead to recognition for disease specific certifications. Providing data to direct caregivers and involving them in developing improvement plans. For instance, stratifying why patients are non-compliant leads to process changes that impact their care. For example: The Heart Failure patient readmitted because they do not have funds to fill prescriptions or do not have a private physician to follow up with for care.

Defining Moment In Our Journey A landmark was reached with VAP compliance when we went 884 days with ZERO VAP cases! Staff realized they could get to zero Staff realized they could reduce harm We began tracking on our Intranet in real time – this was a commitment to transparency 7
