Patient Safety
“The avoidance, prevention and amelioration of
adverse outcomes or injuries stemming from
the process of healthcare”
Vincent 2010
Recognising harm in healthcare
• 20% of patients experienced 1 or more untoward episodes
• 10% had prolonged or unresolved episode
Schimmel Ann Int Med 1964
• Estimated as many as
44,000 to 98,000 deaths each year in USA
• More than motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer and AIDS combined annually
“To Err is Human”, Institute of Medicine, 1999*
Global impact of harm in healthcare High Income Countries
• Acute hospitals adverse event rate 3-36% – 30-50% preventable
• Primary care 9% of records indicate error
• Community hospitals adverse event rate 15%
Low & Middle Income countries
• 8-10% patients receiving hospital care
• 83% preventable
• 30% led to death
• 2/3 of all adverse events globally
WHO 2016 Health Foundation 2011
What do we mean by harm? • Treatment specific harm
• Harm due to over treatment
• General harm from healthcare
• Harm due to failure to provide appropriate treatment
• Harm due to failed or inadequate diagnosis
• Psychological harm and feeling unsafe
• Harm due to neglect and dehumanisation
Consequences of Patient Safety
Incidents • Nothing / minor
inconvenience
• Prolonged hospital stay
• Readmission
• Delayed / missed diagnosis
• Disability
• Chronic pain
• Incontinence
• Psychological trauma
• loss of independence
• loss of earnings
• Death
Understanding harm
Adverse event review
• Critical Incident reporting / review
• Significant adverse event review
• Incident / speciality specific review
• Morbidity and mortality review
Systematic review
• Structured chart review – Mortality review
– Adverse event review

NHS Lothian Adverse Events Reported with Major Harm of Death 01/04/17-31/03/19*
Total Cumulative % * only displays top 21 categories
Patient Safety Incidents
• Omissions / Prescribing / preparation
• Medrec / ADEs / high risk meds Medication incidents
• MRSA / C.Diff / SAB Antimicrobials
• Indwelling devices – PVC / CVC / CRI Hospital Acquired infection
• SSI Technical misadventure
• Wrong patient / procedure / site Procedural adverse events
• Accuracy , timing
• Failure to recognize deterioration / sepsis / CTG Diagnostic errors
• Falls Functional decline
• Pressure ulcers Delirium Care based harms
• Poor teamwork
• Lack of information flow / poor handover Communication errors
harm is more often the result of lack of diligence in performing ordinary tasks rather than a lack
of extraordinary skills
The Scottish Patient Safety Programme
SPSP Acute Care
WHAT By January 2013
• 15 % reduction in Standardised Mortality Rate (HSMR) in hospitals in hospitals across Scotland
• 30% reduction in Adverse Events (GTT)
• 30% reduction in cardiac arrests
HOW
• Evidence based interventions
• Data measurement
• Quality improvement methodology
Scottish Patient Safety
Program
Work Area Change Package Element Critical Care Establish infrastructure
–Daily goal sheets
–Daily multi-disciplinary rounds
Infection Prevention
–Ventilator bundle
–Central line bundle
General Ward Risk Identification and Response
–Rapid response (Outreach) teams
–Early warning system
Infection Prevention -MRSA
Reliable care for Congestive heart failure
Communication and Teamwork
–Safety briefings
–Communication tools (e.g. SBAR)
–Prevention pressure ulcers
Leadership Infrastructure to support safety
Walkrounds
Safety a strategic priority
Medicines Management “Reconciliation”
Anticoagulation , Insulin,
Conduct an FMEA on a high risk medication process
Perioperative DVT Prophylaxis
Beta blockade
SSI bundle
Team culture - briefings
Sustainable universal implementation with high levels of reliability
What can we do? • Safe Prescribing / medrec
• Preparation / Administration Medication errors
• Hand hygiene
• PVC insertion & maintenance Hospital Acquired infection
• Checklists, skills training
• Antibiotic use Procedural adverse events
• Differential diagnosis / Regular review
• Early recognition of deterioration Diagnostic errors
• Clarify information / clear plans
• Clear recording / complete / legible Documentation errors
• Teamwork / safety briefs
• Handover / closed loop communication Communication errors

Cardiac arrest rate NHS Lothian
Learning from deteriorating patient reviews
• Anticipatory planning commonest contributor
• NEWS scoring generally accurate
• Initial escalation reliable
• Initial management of deterioration good
• Frequency of obs for high NEWS poor
• Review unreliable
• Re-escalation difficult
Hospital Acquired Infection
