  1. Perioperative fasting guideline Getting it into practice Getting started

  2. The guideline • Developed using NICE methods, and meeting AGREE criteria. • By an inter-disciplinary guideline development group, including anaesthetist, surgeon, patient, pharmacy, nurse, and dietician representation. • Recommendations made for healthy adults and children, and high risk groups.

  3. Evidence Change Organisations Contexts Individuals & teams Getting evidence into practice Getting evidence-based recommendations into practice: IsIs not Complex Linear Active Passive Multi-dimensional Rational Context-specific Deductive

  4. Increasing the chances of success Paying attention to the following may increase the likelihood of success in implementing guideline recommendations: • Having a dedicated project lead • Key stakeholders are identified and fully engaged • Readiness for implementation is assessed.

  5. Increasing the chances of success contd... • An implementation action plan is devised and appropriate implementation strategies are used • Progress is evaluated • Resource allocation is considered and appropriate.

  6. 1. Identify a project lead • Identify someone to lead the project • For this peri-operative fasting guideline, this person might be a: • Clinical lead (e.g. anaesthetist, nurse, surgeon, dietician) • Quality improvement lead • Practice development nurse

  7. 2. Identify & engage key stakeholders • Involve ‘key’ people early • Stakeholders should be representative of those affected by the guideline, and who have a vested interest in it • Clarify and agree roles and contributions • Agree purpose • Set up regular (e.g. monthly) meetings.

  8. 3.1 Assessing readiness • Identify where you are now to know what changes are needed • Consider undertaking • Benchmarking • Process mapping • SWOT analysis • Environmental scan • Capture the different perspectives of the stakeholders. Contd…

  9. 3.2 Identify barriers A number of barriers may be identified, including: • Communication issues • Some people do not agree with the recommendations. • There is poor team working • Knowledge levels about fasting practice are not up to date • Clinical leaders are not supportive of fasting practice changes • Problems with the organisation of the operating theatre lists. These provide a basis upon which to target implementation strategies

  10. 4.1 Develop an action plan • Decide a set of manageable actions • Decide who will do what • Set targets – short, medium and long term • Develop contingency plans • Evaluate progress.

  11. 4.2 Indentifying implementation strategies • No single strategy, tool or approach will fit all situations • There is insufficient evidence to say with confidence which strategies work best in a particular context • Need to choose appropriately based on particular people/teams, situation, and readiness assessment findings.

  12. 4.3 Implementation strategies the evidence base Grimshaw et al (2004)

  13. 4.4 Other ideas for implementing the perioperative fasting guideline • Getting the message across: ‘2 – 6 rule’ – healthy adults can drink clear fluids until 2 hours before anaesthesia, and can eat food until 6 hours before anaesthesia • Use notice boards and internal media to publicise • Hold interactive education sessions involving all staff affected by this practice • Get clinical leads to champion the message within and across the various disciplines.

  14. Ideas for implementation contd… • Develop an integrated care pathway reflecting the ‘ideal’ patient journey from pre-assessment to post-operation • Implement plan-do-study-act methods to identify current practice, changes required, make changes, monitor effects • Deliver interactive education sessions, which include problem-based, context realistic, scenarios.

  15. 5.1 Evaluate progress • Develop an evaluation plan before going ahead with implementation • Keep it simple • Include structure, process and outcome indicators (see next slide for examples) • Devise feedback mechanisms so people know how things are going.

  16. 5.2 Indicators of progress • Structure, process and outcome: • Structure e.g. availability of food • Process e.g. staff knowledge about new fasting practice • Outcome e.g. what is patient’s fasting time pre- and post-operatively? • Compare pre- and post- implementation changes • Check whether changes have been sustained a few months later.

  17. 5.3 Approaches to evaluation • Audit and feedback • Interviews with staff • Short questionnaire • Discussions with patients*. *need to consider ethical implications

  18. 6. Resources • Financial, human or in-kind requirements necessary to achieve targets in the action plan • These need to be considered in the early stages, and continually monitored • Involve finance and human resource representatives in the planning stages.

  19. Top 10 tips • Get key stakeholders on board • Keep stakeholders engaged • Identify a dedicated project lead • Decide on implementation strategies that are relevant to the context and people who will be using the guideline • Devise an action plan and regularly evaluate progress.

  20. Top 10 tips contd… • Identify and allocate resources appropriately. • Get the 2-6 message across! • Use posters • Use local clinical champions • Focus efforts on the experience of patients.
