Summary of Action Period 1

1. Summary of Action Period 1 TN Patient Safety Collaborative: Reducing Physical Restraints Learning Session 2 April 7, 8 & 9th, 2009

2. When We Started • Learning Session 1, October 2008 • Overview of collaborative process • Teams developed goals • Teams learned how to report monthly progress

3. Why a Collaborative • Share common goals • Teach and learn from each other • Provides systematic approach

4. Sample Aim Statement from a Senior Leader Report

5. Goals/AIM Statements • To reduce restraint use to no more than 2% of our population within 60 days. This will be accomplished by an interdisciplinary team whose focus is to address falls and fall risk and also to develop individual care plans to meet each resident’s personal needs.

6. Goals/AIM Statements, cont. • To reduce restraints to 10% or less within a six month period • To reduce and maintain physical restraints to 2% or less in three months by assisting and evaluating the residents currently with restraints and implementing new measures to eliminate these interventions. Will decrease to 1% or less in six months (by April 2009) with the long term goal of being restraint free.

7. Approach • Collect monthly data from measurement strategy • Restraint process and outcome measures • Numerators and denominators entered into data tracking tool

8. Data Tracking Tool

9. Approach, cont. • Data tracking tool shows opportunities for interventions • Interventions tried/tested through PDSA cycles • PDSAs are reported on Senior Leader Report • Senior Leader Report and data tracking tool submitted to QSource monthly

10. Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA): What it Really Means • Plan - What is the situation or problem? • Do - What did I do about it? • Study - Did it work? • Act - Based on what I learned, what am I going to do now?

11. Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA): The Building Block for Change “That’s too complicated; I don’t have time for things like that.” “I’ve got patients to care for and situations to deal with.”

12. Curing PDSA Phobia It’s simple as… P I E

13. Plan Implement Evaluate

14. Plan: • Identify the problem. • What steps you will take to tryto fix the problem? • Different actions? • New interventions? • Different equipment?

15. Implement: • Put your plan into action. • Test your interventions.

16. Evaluate: • Did your plan work? • Yes? OK, what now? • No? Why not? • What else can we try? Your answers will leadyou right back to…

19. Learning Session 2

20. Action Period 1: Activities • Teleconference calls • SLRs and tracking tools • Onsite visit • Weekly team meetings • Distributed SLR newsletters • Completed 2 PDSAs a week • Discussion list serv

21. Action Period 1: Outcomes • Teams test on a small scale • Teams establish measurement system and begin to use data • Teams begin to use other collaborative participants as resources

22. Challenges • Time/staffing issues • Computer skills • Internet access • Complex PDSAs • Completing 2 PDSAs a week • Documentation • Inconsistent data collection

23. Challenges, cont. • Measurement strategy • Family and staff reluctance/opposition • Knowledge • Cost • Perception and attitudes

24. Lessons Learned • Education is key to change • Creative innovative ideas • Commitment • One person can’t do it all • Don’t assume a restraint is forever; conditions and situations change • Easier to do things the ‘old way’

25. Lessons Learned, cont. • Obtain staff input to increase buy-in when changing the plan of care • Address individual needs/strengths of the resident and re-evaluate for least restrictive • It can be done!

26. Lessons Learned, cont. • Increased activities, time in group settings,and ambulation are tremendously helpful during restraint reduction • Involve all disciplines • Diligence and reinforcement • Make it fun

27. Lessons Learned, cont. • Look at resident’s behavior to determine personal agenda and respond to residentneeds • New alternative devices must be tried under close staff supervision during a trial period with careful attention to resident circumstances

28. Lessons Learned, cont. • Maintaining a restraint free facility is a daily battle requiring continual assessment and education

29. Successes • Increased sharing • Success stories • CNAs take more ownership • Individualized care plans • No restraints upon admission • Using least restrictive device • Reducing restraint usage • Improving quality of life

30. O1. Proportion of residents physically restrained any time within two calendar days of admission

31. O2. Percent of residents with falls resulting in serious injury Goal: <10% Group Average: 4.1%

32. O3. Percent of residents who were physically restrained on LAST FRIDAY of the month Group Average: 7.2% Goal: 2%

33. Goal: 100% Group Average: 68.8% P1. Proportion of residents physically restrained that received a re-evaluation to reduce or eliminate the restraint

34. CMS Quality Measure Rate (Nursing Home Compare) Percent of long-stay residents who were physically restrained

35. QIES Quality Indicator Rate 11.1 Residents who were physically restrained
