VTE programme in RAH: The evolution of complexity

Dr C FosterConsultant in Acute Medicine SPSP Improvement Advisor in trainingIHI wave 28

The case for change Aim to prevent VTE – significant associated

comorbidity Non fatal e. g. post thrombotic syndrome, non fatal PE Fatal – PTE – a notorious underdiagnosed complication

Government drive SPSP Sepsis/VTE collaberative

Financial Nice estimate savings of £12,000 per 100,000 population per

year - £24,000/yr in our catchment

Our unit 3 geographically distinct areas

MAU – 8 beds, 11 trolleysAMU – 30 bedsHDU – variable mode 5 patients, range 1-9

2-3 Acute medicine consultants, 1-2 Fy2, 2-3 Acute Care ST3+ and some FY1’s – variable

Take around 40-50/day

Our ‘unit’ 1 downstream med ward acting as a

‘testbed’ Rest of the hospital....

Systemic/practical problems Large geographical area Small numbers in HDU Alot of people to get engaged Visiting PoW only 3x per year each – can

be tricky to make sure everyone remembers

Spread the gains - The Quality virus method

What are we trying to accomplish?

By September 2013 aim to Improve the reliability of ongoing assessment and

appropriate prescription of low molecular weight heparin in the medical population being admitted through Medical Assessment (MAU), Acute Medical (AMU) or high dependency (HDU).

The expected outcome at this point will be a consistent 95% adherence to current national guidance and standards.

Further we aim to improve downstream compliance in our medical wards

How will we know that change is an improvement? Continuous weekly sampling of patients in

relevant units Qualitative feedback from ‘VTE action

group’ Informal feedback

What changes can we make that will result in an improvement?

Develop• Consistent

, reliable VTE bundle implementation –95%:

• Risk assessed

• Prescribed correctly

• Contraindications assessed

Methodology

DoStudy

Initial AMU work

1st cycle

DoStudy

To improve all indices in AMU to > 95%Consultant input dailySet up appropriate sampling

DoStudy

Acute med consultant daily speaks to junior staff about the importance of VTE (and Med rec and sepsis)

Became evident that reliable collection of data could be variable as individual dependant

Junior staff were feeding back however

Became evident that there was confusion with the clarity of data collection

1st cycle

DoStudy

Sampling took too many weeks for data pointsWe weren’t bad to start with, but not greatWe weren’t consistentDocumented review at 48 hours was an issueIt’s not clear what ‘patient informed’ constitutesMarked downstream improvementWe did a lot at once on an individual reliant basis

1st cycle

DoStudy

Continue with current. Multi disciplinary involvement

2nd cycle

DoStudy

Nurses to prompt doctorsCN McP to encourage nursing staff

DoStudy

CN McP encouraged nursing staff to ..... Prompt Dr’s

2nd cycle

DoStudy

Didn’t workNursing teams already had enough to do

2nd cycle

DoStudy

Abandoned

3rd cycle

DoStudy

I (annoyingly?) can’t take any credit.....Junior med staff took initiative and put a column on the admission board

DoStudy

Dr N put a new column on the admissions board – “VTE”

3rd cycle

DoStudy

There was a continuing improvement – effect unclear as following trend – would have been clearer if we had undertaken a ‘planned experiment’, but impracticalHowever, it was getting used for every patient – I suspect if nothing else is a reliable reminder, and I think made a difference

1a. Is there a documented VTE risk assessment for patient and admission related risks within 24 hours of admission?

0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%90%100%

2. Is there a documented assessment of contra-indication to pharmacological or mechanical thromboprophylaxis?

0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%90%

3. Has correct pharmacological / mechanical thromboprophylaxis been prescribed and administered?

0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%90%100%

4b. If the answer to Question 4a is Yes, is there a documented reassessment of VTE risk as per local policy (48 hours)?

0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%90%100%

6. Compliance with SIGN Bundle

5. Has the patient been informed of VTE risk and treatment on admission?

0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%90%

3rd cycle

DoStudy

It was a simple intervention Impact unclear but I suspect helpedSo we didn’t change a thing

4th cycle – VTE group

4th cycle

DoStudy

To gain a multi disciplinary viewWill expect find that the current ideal planned process (system) doesn’t tally with reality and build our knowledge on this basis Understand the variation in the system – can we find any special or common causes of this?To be carried out on an informal basisProcess mapping and affinity diagrams

DoStudy

Meeting (eventually) went ahead

Good turnout from junior/senior medical/nursing and pharmacy

4th cycle

DoStudy

Process in fact turned out to be relatively close to the system we had plannedCommon themes arose

Too much paperwork (in general)Some varying views on who should perform the

assessment – FY1? Admitting doctor?Sometimes information is not available e.g. eGFRThere are common causes of variation – mainly that the process reliability falls down come 5pm when staff levels drastically fall (esp FY1)Special causes of variation also exist – e.g. HAN members not having been through the medical unit

4th cycleStudy

Some communication issues between nursing/medical staff – e.g. both wanting kardexes concurrentlyHowever, constructive outcomes also arose

We have introduced an assessment sheet into the HDU nursing checksheetPharmacists are going to inform the patients why they are on LMWHNursing teams in HDU/MAU are engaged in the regular sampling process (and will prompt medical staff)AMU ward manager will encourage her nurses to prompt Dr’s

4th cycle

DoStudy

New simplified medical assessment tool made for HDUWeekly sampling of patients in HDU instigated2 patients daily sampled in MAUPharmacy becoming involved when they review kardex’sLesson learned – it’s difficult to get people to a meeting

Ward round sticker

Back to AMU

5th cycle

DoStudy

Aims remain to achieve 95% reliability Aim to demonstrate reliability with non individual dependant data collectionImprove patient information - Pharmacists will inform patients and document thisReliable 48hrly (or better) review – daily ward round sticker to be usedLarger and more frequent sampling

DoStudy

Acute med consultant (still) daily speaks to junior staff about the importance of VTE (and Med rec and sepsis)

A daily ward round sticker has been made and is used for every ward round >24hrs. With a little cajoling and encouragement, this is happening

Sampling 10 pts per week – joint responsibility between consultant, registrar and engaged FY1 has reaped benefits including clarity of measuring

There was a lack of clarity among the pharmacy team how they were providing input – now clarified

5th cycle

DoStudy

Data collection far better, and in better numbersAll groups seem well engaged

5th cycle

DoStudy

Continue as current for a month or so and allow everything to ‘bed in’Feedback from team – Plan a further VTE group meetThere are multiple other issues to be addressed – staffing, responsibility, communication issues, getting required information etc – a lot of cycles to be done…..And some brainstormingI would like some even greater reliability for data collection – any ideas gratefully receivedAlso capturing data at weekends is not happening at current – can’t think of a reliable way thus far

6th cycle

DoStudy

Aim to develop a reliable measurement programme and hopefully demonstrate reliable adherence to our targetsCan we put a reliable system of data collection into place? – 2 patients be sampled a day as they leave the unitHow compliant and reliant are we?Expect to be fairly good as we have a small team of dedicated individuals

DoStudy

Staff engagement is good

Data collection put into place – 5th patient leaving and 1 patient after 6pm per day

6th cycle

DoStudy

No negative feedbackStaff don’t see it as a hinderance/hassle

6th cycle

DoStudy

Not planning to change anything just now

7th cycle

DoStudy

Can we put a reliable system of data collection into place? – will our sample volume be high enoughHow are we doing so far? – collect baseline dataExpect to be ok but reliability of documentation will fall down as the admission pro formas are not used on PTWR – hopefully improve with separate nursing checksheetAll Medical patients in the unit on a Friday will be sampled

DoStudy

Baseline data collectedEvery patient in the unit on Friday sampled

7th cycle

DoStudy

Initial sampling variable but improved now bedded in

7th cycle

DoStudy

Continue with current monitoringTime to introduce measures

8th cycle

DoStudy

Introduce new VTE assessment into patient admission pack

DoStudy

SN ER (VTE group member) to introduce assessment tool and concept/plans to nursing staff

8th cycle

DoStudy

Incomplete distribution of plansVariable who was aware depending on staff. Also variable who remembered

8th cycle

DoStudy

ActD/w CN LG as to best way to standardise the requirement for VTE thromboprophylavis assessment

9th cycle

DoStudy

D/w CN LG and put suggestion into action

DoStudy

‘VTE thromboprophylaxis assessed’ introduced into nursing safety checkIf not done, nurses will prompt dr’s on ward round

Downstream

10th cycle

DoStudy

We’re aiming for 95% in reliable assessment at 48 hoursHow good is our baseline of checking 48 hourlyHow will the introduction of ward round stickers be receivedWill it be effective?

DoStudy

In the main, uptake was surprisingly good with most individualsPsychological factors are the downfallSampling is not problematic

10th cycle

DoStudy

UnderwayResults so far…

% VTE risk assessed at 48 hours

Median

10th cycle

DoStudy

Feedback run charts are available for ward staffNeed further engagement with the team and feedback as to the barriers they have found

Where are we now? SBAR now been changed – VTE integrated Allow changes to bed in Further VTE group meet Need solutions to weekend data collection New Dr’s starting in August – time to

disseminate the info

In summary Teamwork is the most important Try to look at positives rather than

negatives There will always be natural variation –

SPC charts useful when you have enough data

Improvement is possible Don’t be disheartened by natural variation

In summarry Thanks

Any questions?
