5 Case Example: Self. Extubations Decrease patient self-extubation in ICUs PDCA methodology Specific goals for improvement: Standardize critical care quality indicators for monthly collection and analysis Develop admission and discharge criteria for the ICU Improve and monitor nursing competency Formalize protocols Leadership support was crucial Measuring Health Care: Using Quality Data for Operational, Financil, and Clinical Improvement by Yosef D.

Getting the Doctors on Board 6 Mortality rating has an impact of doctor reputation. Financially punished for never events. Held to national standards of patient safety. Measuring Health Care: Using Quality Data for Operational, Financil, and Clinical Improvement by Yosef D. Dlugacz
Analyzing Errors 7 Continuously measuring care allows for data to alerts leadership when a process is beginning to fail. A root cause analysis is used to identify the causes of the event and processes can be implemented in place to improve. Cause and effect (fishbone or Ishikawa) diagram illustrates how various factors impact a result. Must mandate that the hospital present a corrective action plan to alert the problem.

Overview 8 Accountability is promoted when leadership can evaluate the delivery of care. Physicians must be held to an objective standard. It is important that even nonclinical staff must understand their role in the process of care. The use of measurements must determine gaps in patient safety and then monitor improvements.
