About You M2

Presentation
Wayne Miller

Has this ever happened in one of
your facilities?
3:45 pm Call from Nurse manager – Patient has been
given the wrong medication. Patient is unconscious
and has been moved to the ICU and assessment is
ongoing.

Individual Perspectives to
Leading Practices
Key Features of Incident Analysis
•Timely, Thorough
•Objective and Impartial (avoid conflicts of interest or perceived
conflicts)
•Credible
•Interdisciplinary, Including Frontline, Patient/Family, and Non-
regulated staff
Practise / Preparing
•Who, When, and How is the analysis conducted in your
organization
•Build Teams - Quality, IT, Health Records, Bio Med
•Run simulations

Just and trusting culture encourages, supports, and
expects the reporting of safety and learning events.

Canadian
Incident
Analysis
Framework

Gather Information
•Caution…Do not jump to solutions, conclusions,
and assumptions.

•Caution…The team will not understand the
contributing factors related to the incident if they
do not understand the circumstances surrounding
the incident.

•Caution…The facilitator must have systematic
processes for identifying the gaps in information
and for accurately addressing those gaps.

WHAT HAPPENED?
•Get a Game Plan – Each Incident is different
•Gather Information
•Review the Incident (Occurrence) Report
•Review Additional information
•Create a Detailed Timeline
•Review Supporting Information

Review the Incident Report &
Additional information
•Triggers for a comprehensive analysis
•Incident report is based on initial understanding
•Others
•Review the health record
•Conduct interviews
•Visit the location where the incident occurred
•Secure items OR look at similar items/devices to
help build that understanding

Create a Detailed Timeline
Example
(p.104)

Review Supporting Information

•Includes:
•Review of Policies and Procedures
•Look at previously reported similar incidents
•Environmental Scan
•Literature Search
•Policies and Practices in leading organizations
•Consultation with colleagues or experts in the field.

HOW AND WHY IT HAPPENED?
•Analyze information to identify contributing factors
and relationships
•Uses systems theory and human factors
•Uses diagramming
•Summarizes findings

Analyze Information
•Build on understanding by asking questions to
determine contributing factors and relationships of
factors to the event.
•Appendix G, Page 89, Guiding Questions
•Allows lens to focus on system issues which may
have contributed to the event—rather than focus on
the person
•What was this influenced by?
•What else affected the circumstances?

Use Systems Theory and Human
Factors
Systems Theory
Focuses on an assessment of
the individual’s action within
the context of the
circumstances at the time,
NOT on the individual alone.
Human Factors
Interaction between the
human and the system

Use Diagramming
•Identify and understand
inter-relationships between
and among contributing
factors
•Provides a map which, when
used correctly, helps the
team identify the “route”
which was taken and why it
was taken.
•Shifts the focus from the
person to the system in
which the person works.

Diagramming— Ishikawa
Diagram

Diagramming—Tree Diagram

Constellation Diagramming—5
steps

•Step 1: Describe the incident

•Step 2: Identify potential contributing factors

•Step 3: Define inter-relationships between and
among potential contributing factors.

•Step 4: Identify the findings

•Step 5: Confirm the findings with the team

Guiding Questions
Appendix G (p. 89)

Example

Summarize Findings
•Statements of findings
•Describe the relationships between the contributing
factors and the incident and/or outcome.
•Three categories of findings:
 Factors that if corrected would likely have prevented
the incident or mitigated the harm.
 Factors that if corrected, would NOT have prevented
the incident or mitigated the harm, but are
important for patient/staff safety or safe patient care
in general
 Mitigating factors—factors that didn’t allow the
incident to have more serious consequences and
represent solid safeguards that should be kept in
place

Statement of Findings
Example

“The use of gravity intravenous infusion
sets in the Emergency Department
increased the likelihood that an
intravenous narcotics infusion would be
infused at a higher than intended rate
when the patient changed his position on
the stretcher”

Confirm Findings
Team should agree on the findings before developing
recommended actions

Work through disagreements to achieve consensus

If key individuals who were involved in the event were
not part of the analysis team, ask for their feedback
on the findings.

Include a Back-Checking Step

Ultimate Goal
To
WHAT CAN BE DONE TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
RECURRENCE AND MAKE CARE SAFER

WHAT WAS LEARNED?
Healthcare providers work very hard to provide safe
care in the best way they know how.


Let’s not ask them to do this risky work without a net

Real- life Experience

Incident Analysis Framework:
Real-life Experience
Module 4: Comprehensive analysis method
January 10, 2013

What is critical incident
(ie. a severe harmful patient safety incident)
•Any unintended event that occurs when a
patient receives treatment in the hospital,

–that results in death, or serious disability,
injury or harm to the patient, and

–does not result primarily from the patients'
underlying medical condition or from a known
risk inherent in providing the treatment

•Any unintended event that occurs when a
patient receives treatment in the hospital,

–that results in death, or serious disability,
injury or harm to the patient, and

–does not result primarily from the patients'
underlying medical condition or from a known
risk inherent in providing the treatment

•Not factored into the definition at St.
Michael’s
–perspective of patient outcome is considered
first….harm feels like harm!!
–assumes inherent risks are fixed with no
potential in learning or reducing…eg CLI
–data supports inherent risk of death d/t
adverse events = 1/116
What is critical incident
(ie. a severe harmful patient safety incident)

An example
•Patient admitted to the ICU following a large stroke. At
approximately midnight the patient began having generalized
seizures. She paged the resident on call. The resident came and
asked for some Ativan. As the resident was giving the Ativan he
asked the nurse to quickly get some Dilantin (phenytoin). The nurse
left the bedside to prepare the medication in an IV minibag, returned
to the bedside and began to hang the drug. Meanwhile the Ativan
had stopped the seizure and the resident returned to his call room.
•20 minutes later the patient’s blood pressure rose to 230 over 120
mmHg. The patient began complaining of chest pain and was
visibly short of breath. The nurse paged the resident to the bedside
STAT. The resident on arrival asked for some IV metoprolol. He
gave 20mg in total with little effect on the blood pressure.

An example
•Eventually the patient was stabilized but had suffered a large heart
attack and now had significant congestive heart failure.
•Later that evening the resident noticed a vial of phenylephrine at the
patient’s bedside. He showed this to the nurse who became
immediately very upset and was later sent home.

•The Charge Nurse reported the incident later that evening, the
family was informed of the incident and received an apology
•Risk Management & QI team reviewed the incident details and
decided that a comprehensive review be conducted

So it’s an adverse event
•The next phase is to analyze the event in
order to know:
–What happened
–How and why it happened
–What can be done to reduce the likelihood of
recurrence and make care safer
–What was learned

What did we do?

What did we do?

Recommendations / Actions
•Introduced TallMan lettering
•Removed multi-drug bins and reorganized med
cabinets
•Moved phenytoin under “D” for dilantin
•Did the same for all other ICUs, then all wards
•Met with Clinical Services Committee and
Pharmacy re purchasing of sound- alike, look-
alike drugs
•Discussed the problem and the solution openly

Recommendations / Actions

Summary
•Incident analysis is a standard process to learn what,
why and how an patient safety incident occurred
•An interprofessional, open and just approach fosters
greater learning
•Requires gathering of material facts and interviews of
those involved
•Requires open exploration of all contributing system
factors
•Done right…leads to effective recommendations and
improvement in patient safety
