To provide national leadership in building and advancing a safer Canadian health system
Mission
VisionWe envision a Canadian health system
where:
• Patients, providers, governments and others work together to build and advance a safer health system;
• Providers take pride in their ability to deliver the safest and highest quality of care possible; and
• Every Canadian in need of healthcare can be confident that the care they receive is the safest in the world.

Definitions
Patient Safety:The reduction and mitigation of unsafe acts within the
health-care system, as well as through the use of best practices shown to lead to optimal patient outcomes.
Canadian Patient Safety Dictionary, 2003
Adverse Event: An adverse event is an unintended injury or
complication which results in disability, death or prolonged hospital stay, and is caused by health-care management.
Wilson et al

‘‘Will we put the methods of science to work in Will we put the methods of science to work in the evaluation of our practices, or must we the evaluation of our practices, or must we
admit that no matter how much we read, study, admit that no matter how much we read, study, practice and take pains, when it comes to a practice and take pains, when it comes to a
show-down of the results of our treatment, no show-down of the results of our treatment, no one could tell the difference between what we one could tell the difference between what we have accomplished and results of some genial have accomplished and results of some genial

Evolution of Patient Safety
6
What Patient Safety Is and Is Not
• It is not what most of us were thinking about 10 years ago
• It is not what ‘we have always done’• It is the most significant change in the
healthcare system in over a century• It is a new applied science• It has forever changed the face of
modern healthcare

What We Know
Canadian Institute for Health Information (2004)
• One in nine adults contract infection in hospital.
• One in nine patients receive wrong medication or wrong dose.
• More deaths after experiencing adverse events in hospital than deaths from breast cancer, motor vehicle and HIV combined.

Why Do Adverse Events Happen?
• In any system or organization that involves In any system or organization that involves humans, error is inevitable because there is humans, error is inevitable because there is a wide variation in performance both within a wide variation in performance both within and between peopleand between people
• Evidence is accumulating that some human Evidence is accumulating that some human dispositions towards error are hard-wireddispositions towards error are hard-wired
• Only a small proportion of error is Only a small proportion of error is egregiousegregious
• Ambient conditions and systemic design Ambient conditions and systemic design increase the likelihood of errorincrease the likelihood of error
• Error has been described as the ‘essential Error has been described as the ‘essential friction’ within all systemsfriction’ within all systems

Human Factors
“Health care is the only industry that does not believe that fatigue diminishes performance.”
Lucian Leape
20
Human FactorsFatigue
• 24 hours without sleep is equivalent to a blood alcohol level of 0.10 – a 30% decrease in cognitive processing
• Nurses are 3 times more likely to make mistakes after 12 hours on the job
• Interns made 30% more errors in ICU patients when on traditional 24 hour call schedules
• The best countermeasure for fatigue is teamwork –more people in the movie
• 3 major disasters related to night time workers: Exxon Valdez, Chernobyl, and Three Mile Island.

Human FactorsMultitasking, Interruptions, Distractions
• Humans are poor multi-taskers• Drivers on cell phones have 50% more
accidents, 25% of traffic accidents are “distracted drivers”
• Interruptions and distractions increase error rates
• Humans need very formal cues to get back on task when interrupted and distracted
Leonard, Michael MD. (Nov 2005). Safer Healthcare Now Presentation
24
Human FactorsInherent Human Limitations
• Limited memory capacity – 5-7 pieces of information in short term memory
• Negative effects of stress – error rates– Tunnel vision
• Negative influence of fatigue and other physiological factors
• Limited ability to multitask – cell phones and driving
Leonard, Michael MD. (Nov 2005). Safer Healthcare Now Presentation
• Difficulty recognizing errors
• Lack of information systems to identify errors
• Relationship of trust with providers
• Access is more urgent in Canada
• Leadership turnover
• Fragmentation of care delivery hampers systems thinking
Patient Safety: Barriers to Action
Patient Safety: Barriers to Action
• Poor capital investment framework favours short term needs
• Shortages of clinical professionals
• Concern about liability
• Jurisdictional conflicts
• Simplistic approach to building the EHR
• Culture of patient safety is lacking

CPSI Strategies and Activities
• Adverse Event Reporting and Learning System
• Root Cause Analysis
• National Disclosure Guidelines
• Safer Healthcare Now!
31
Development of a Canadian Adverse Events Reporting and Learning System (CAERLS)
A major initiative in the 2006/07 CPSI Action Plan is to explore thedevelopment of a Canadian Adverse Event Reporting & Learning
System toenable a patient safety knowledge base, create a repository and
facilitateknowledge transfer to inspire innovation and safety improvement.
Activity to date includes:1. The synthesis of findings on adverse event reporting and
learning systems related to:• international site visits• an extensive literature search and review• a comprehensive review of applicable Canadian legislation and
policy.
2. Development and circulation of a consultation paper outlining recommended options for a non-punitive national adverse event reporting and learning system so that the information can be sorted, integrated, evaluated and acted upon in a highly coordinated and timely manner.
32
The Canadian Root Cause Analysis Framework
What is Root Cause Analysis?• An analytic tool that can be used to perform a
comprehensive, system-system based review of critical incidents. 1
History• In January of 2005 CPSI partnered with ISMP Canada and
Saskatchewan Health, to begin work on the development of the Framework.
Goals of the partnership • To standardize information and processes related to RCA in
Canada.• To utilize those with known expertise in use of the process
and knowledge transfer of the tool to assist with the development of the framework.1 Hoffman, C., Beard P., Greenall,J., U,D., & White, J. (2006). Canadian Root Cause Analysis Framework. Edmonton AB: Canadian Patient Safety Institute

communication skills and techniques when confronted with critical incidents
46
CPSI Strategies and Activities
Simulation in CanadaGoal: To facilitate the development of a national
simulation strategy for healthcareObjectives
• To create a national vehicle for the promotion and endorsement of simulation including an infrastructure for collaboration
• To endorse team – focused simulation educationPhases
Phase 1: Endorse and SupportPhase 2: EducatePhase 3: Evaluate
47
CPSI Strategies and ActivitiesNational Hand Hygiene CampaignThe Canadian Patient Safety Institute, the Canadian Council for Health Services Accreditation, the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Community and Hospital Infection Control Association are working together to support, supplement and integrate existing hand hygiene initiatives locally, regionally and provincially, by developing and implementing a hand hygiene campaign across Canada.
Campaign Goal:•To promote the importance of hand hygiene in reducing the spread of healthcare associated infections in Canada
Campaign Objective:•To respond to the needs of healthcare organizations for capacity building, leadership development, and/or the production of tools to help promote hand hygiene
48
CPSI Strategies and Activities
Patient Safety Competencies ProjectObjectives: • Identify the key knowledge, skills and attitudes
related to patient safety competencies for all healthcare workers
• Develop a simple, flexible framework that will act as a benchmark for training, educating and assessing healthcare professionals in patient safety
• Help make patient safety competencies easy for everyone to understand and apply
49
CPSI Strategies and Activities
Executive Patient Safety SeriesObjectives:
• Describe how you can better fulfill your responsibilities and accountabilities for patient safety at the Board/Executive level;
• Understand the methods to effect a cultural shift in your organization to improve patient safety;
• Create and share safety practices that can be adapted and established in your organization; and
• Position safety in the context of quality in your organization.
50
CPSI Strategies and ActivitiesCanadian Patient Safety Officer Course
With the help of faculty experts, this course will be delivered through interactive workshops, networking and presentations by patient safety leaders for healthcare professionals and leaders involved in patient safety (patient safety officers, clinical managers and physicians)
Overall objectives:• Provide the skills to create, implement, and maintain a

What is HSMR?
• HSMR track changes in hospital mortality rates in order to:– Reduce avoidable deaths in hospitals– Improve quality of care
• Developed in the UK in mid-1990s by Sir Brian Jarman of Imperial College
• Used in hospitals worldwide (i.e. UK, Sweden, Holland and US)
54
HSMR is easy to interpret
•Equal to 100– No difference between facility’s
mortality rate and average rate
•More than 100– Facility’s mortality rate is higher
than the average rate
•Less than 100– Facility’s mortality rate is lower than
the average rate

The point of an investigation is not to find where people went wrong.
It is to understand why their assessments and actions made sense at the time.

Conclusion
• Accept that accidents are inevitable and failure will occur
• Accept that impact of failure can be minimized• Promote a safety culture• Listen to and support front-line workers• Establish a framework that recognizes costs of
failure and benefits of reliability• Involve managers in communicating overall
picture
Safe and Reliable Organizations
64
• Train managers to recognize and respond to system abnormalities
• Become adaptive – learn quickly and efficiently from adverse events
• Make knowledge about problems available throughout organization
• Design redundancy to create more opportunity to detect and correct
• Avoid shaming, blaming and organizational hubris
• Don’t micro-manage – allow decision migration- Croskerry, EPSS Nov 2006
