Get to Green: Improving Team Communication to Reduce Ventilator Hours
Overview Critically ill patients on mechanical ventilators are at high risk to develop worsening lung injury, delirium, and hospital acquired infections, which can lead to worsening multi-system organ failure and death. All efforts should be made to decrease ventilator hours to reduce the likelihood of mechanical ventilation complications. In an inter-disciplinary environment, team communication is critical for optimal outcomes. The Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) at Memorial Herman – Texas Medical Center hospital has 16 beds and admits 125 patients a month of which 40% receive mechanical ventilation. The average time on mechanical ventilation was 4.4 days in 2014 which was in the top 25% for similar MICUs in high volume academic hospitals (UHC data). The average cost of stay for a typical ICU intubated patient is approximately 2,500 dollars per day. A multi-disciplinary team of physicians, respiratory therapists, nurses, process improvement engineer, and applications analyst were formed to address the length of ventilator hours in MICU by focusing on team communication.
Aim Statement
InterventionsThe Get to Green Visual Display was placed in each patient’s door. Multidisciplinary team reviewed goals of management of each area not yet “green” for extubation. Respiratory therapists and nursing updated the board every 2 hours. When the parameters reached their respective targets, a green checkmark was placed in front of that parameter. When all the parameters reached their targets, the spontaneous breathing trial process (SBT) took place and the team was activated for extubation evaluation. Multiple times during each 24 hour period, physicians, nurses, and respiratory therapists discussed the barriers to extubation and plan of care to mitigate those factors. The daily and weekly dashboards have also served as effective tools to discuss ways to address the timely extubation process. Physicians, residents, nurses and respiratory therapists were among the stakeholders receiving the dashboard reports.

Figure 6. Patient-Level Get to Green to Extubation Weekly Dashboard
ResultsAverage mechanical ventilator days were decreased by 37% (4.1 days to 2.6 days) within 10 months (Figure 7). The average time from “Getting to Green” to Extubation Time improved from 82 hours to 35.4 hours in 2016 (Figure 8). Additionally, Figure 9 shows that the average number of reintubations has not increased since the start of the ”get to green” initiative (1.11 in 2014, and 1.08 in 2015). A paired T Test demonstrated a statistical significance in the pre and post populations (Figure 10).
Conclusions, Next StepsThe Get to Green project of a visual interdisciplinary communication board has been an effective strategy to decrease mechanical ventilator hours. The daily and weekly dashboards have also served as effective tools to discuss different ways to address the process of timely extubation process. Expansion into multiple other ICUs has been initiated. Real time electronic dashboards are in development.
Quality ToolsOne of the first steps in this project was to understand the extubation process and all the steps necessary for a successful extubation. The process map was developed showing all the test requirements and stages in the extubation process cycle. The PDCA cycle was utilized as a problem solving tool to identify issues relating to delayed extubation. The 5 Whys methodology was applied as a root cause analysis tool to identify the real issues causing delayed extubation for patients on mechanical ventilator. A workplace communication board (labeled “Get to Green”) was developed as a visual tool to exhibit the current patient’s extubation status.

By reducing the average days on mechanical ventilator to 2.6 days per patient in 2016, we have an annual cost saving potential of $810,000 based on 1.5 days reduction in ventilator days with an average mechanically ventilated patient population of 50, and an average cost of $900 for utilization of lower level of care in MICU.
