Improving Care of Adult Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery at Loyola University Medical Center By: Jeffrey Schwartz, MD, Assistant Professor, Department of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery Derrek Davis, MD assistant Professor, Department of Anesthesiology Michael Jarotkiewicz, Cardiovascular Service Line Administrator Cardiovascular Surgery QI Team
LUMC – Cardiovascular Surgery Department • 5 Cardiovascular/Thoracic Surgeons • Over 600 Open Heart Pump cases/year • Top Center for Mitral and Aortic Valve repair and replacement • Over 583 Heart Transplants since 1984 • Over 250 Lung Transplants since 1990 • 1st successful Heart-lung transplant in Illinois (1986)
Identify the Problem……. Historical trend of higher than acceptable risk adjusted complications/mortality as compared to University HealthSystem Consortium data base.

These things don’t just happen…….Keys to Success • Multidisciplinary QI Team • DRG specific Cost initiatives • Post-op Primary CV Surgical Service • Dedicated Nurse Practitioner Model • Consolidated Patient Placement 3W Telemetry
More Keys to Success • Dedicated Anesthesiology – 24 Hr. ICU Post-operative patient management • Early awareness, recognition and prevention of post-op complications • Ventilator Weaning/Early Extubation Protocol • Resident accountability
Solutions - Implementations • Aggressive Education of CV – Team • Physicians, Nurses, Respiratory therapists • Aggressive re-warming of patient (OR team) • Reduced utilization of sedation and improved pain management • Implementation of weaning & extubation protocols
Solutions – Implementations Cont. • Implementation of standing orders and integration into Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Physician Order Entry (POE) Systems • Monitoring and sharing of results with all team members • Nurse Practitioner coordination of project
Solutions – Example - Early Extubation ResultsCABG Patients on a Ventilator for 4 hours or less
Solutions – Example - Early Extubation ResultsUHC CABG Time on a Ventilator
Results • Significant improvement from 4Q 1999 – 3Q 2000 to 3Q – 4Q 2001 • Mean LOS – 9.49 Days • Mean Cost per Case - $24,511 • Mortality – 0.6% (0/E 0.15) identified as best performer in institutions performing >100 CABG procedures

What are our new challenges? • 100% Patient census and capacity issues • CON regulation changes in the State of Illinois • Competition • “Cherry picking” • “Leapfrog” – quality tracking • Interventional Cardiology & Gene Therapy • Reimbursement
Hospital Census – 100% Occupancy Capacity/Bed Availability • Scheduling problems/Delays • Telemetry bed availability • Delays in “Rehabilitation” interventions • Increased ICU LOS • Increase in total LOS • Patient Satisfaction Issues
Hospital Census – 100% Occupancy Bed Availability “What is in our control” • Telemetry bed availability • Trauma Level 1/Increased ED admissions • In-house “Unit renovations” • Increased ICU LOS/Total LOS • Delays in “Rehabilitation” interventions • Patient satisfaction
Patients eligible for 1st day post-op ambulation(Out of bed walking 25-50 ft.) • Extubated • Swan-out • Hemodynamically Stable
