CONTRIBUTING FACTORS
WHAT DO WE WANT TO ACHIEVE D IN PATIENT SAFETY? Do no harm to patient & prevent incident Deliver safe healthcare service Prevent & minimize medicolegal implication
WHY PATIENT HARM OCCUR? Patient Harm ( eg : wrong dose adminstered ) Unsafe Act ( eg : administer without double checking) & Unsafe Condition ( eg : high work load) System Failure ( eg : no checking system, insufficient staff, no training on 7R)

PHLEBITIS
Phlebitis has a direct/indirect impact on the patient health as it can cause discomfort, and pain and prolongs in-patient stays that may lead to the patient suffering. The Nursing Division has been monitoring the indicator of Thrombophlebitis(advanced level of phlebitis)since 2010 at the national level under the Quality Assurance Program with a standard of incidents of < 0.5%.
Indicator Incidence of Phlebitis among inpatients with intravenous (IV) cannulation Numerator Total Number Phlebitis incidences (VIP score 1 and above) Denominator Total Number of inserted peripheral venous cannulas Formula Numerator x 100% Denominator Standard ≤ 35 % Data Collection Where: data will be collected from every ward of the hospital. Who: data will be collected by the ward manager/staff nurse/ personnel in charge of the ward. How frequent: Monthly data collection. Who Should verify: All performance data must be verified by the matron area/ Head of Unit. How to collect: Data will be collected from the record book/ patient’s casenotes .
VISUAL INFUSION PHLEBITIS (VIP) SCORES Site Observation Score Action IV site appears healthy No sign of phlebitis OBSERVE CANNULA One of the following signs evident: Pain near IV site (pain score of (1-3) Slight redness near IV site (May not require analgesics) 1 FIRST signs of phlebitis OBSERVE / RESITE CANNULA Two of the following signs evident: Pain at IV site (pain score of (4-6) Redness around site - Swelling (Interfere with activities) 2 Early stage of phlebitis RESITE CANNULA THREE of the following signs evident: Pain at IV site (pain score of (4-6) Redness around site -Swelling (Interfere with concentration) 3 Medium stage of phlebitis RESITE CANNULA CONSIDER TREATMENT FOUR of the following signs evident and extensive: Pain along path of cannula (pain score of (7-9) Redness around site -Swelling Palpable venous cord (Interfere with concentration) 4 Advanced stage of phlebitis or the start of thrombophlebitis RESITE CANNULA CONSIDER TREATMENT ALL of the following signs evident and extensive: Pain along path of cannula (pain score of 10) Redness around site - Swelling Palpable venous cord -Pyrexia (Bed rest required) 5 Advanced stage of thrombophlebitis INITIATE TREATMENT RESITE CANNULA
PRESSURE INJURY Elaborate on what you want to discuss.
Pressure injury happen when an area of skin and the tissues below are damaged as a result of being placed under pressure sufficient to impair its blood supply. Typically they occur in a person confined to bed or a chair by an illness and as a result they are sometimes referred to as 'bedsores', or 'pressure sores’. https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg179
Definition of Terms A localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue during an inpatient hospital stay Target ≤ 2.1% Numerator Number of HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATED PRESSURE INJURY Denominator Immobilized patient: unable to carry out ADL (e.g. feed or bath by him/herself) Formula Number of Healthcare Associated Pressure Injury x 100 Total number of Immobilized patient Inclusion criteria 1) Immobilized patient / Braden <16 2) Pressure injury developed 48 hours after admission 3) No sign of pressure injury during admission Exclusion Criteria Pre-existing pressure injury prior to admission Format Reten BKJ-NNIA-1 ( Pind )
