Why is this important ?

• Safety Critical

• To allow Continuity• Patient Journey• Shift to shift

• To avoid Chinese Whispers...

The Baton change metaphor sums up what improvement practice and training can accomplish.

Tri Modal Types

Geographical One location to another e.g. Home to hospital

Chronological Shift change e.g. Early to late shift in the same department

Silo Specialty to specialty referral e.g. Ambulance to AE

Page 6: Putting patient safety first Handover and Clinical Human Factors Matt Inada-Kim Acute Medicine Lead, WEHCT, NHS South Central Patient Safety Federation

Tri modal Methods

Verbal Pure verbal handover results in 67% of information being lost after the first handover.

97% is lost by the fifth handover

WrittenGroups taking notes retained 87% of the important data, with 85.5% retained after the fifth handover

ComputerisedA computerized handover tool supporting Verbal / Written

The preferred system is probably is at least bimodal.

The optimal one being tri modal comprising of all of the above.

Tri modal Goals

EfficientReduces duplication, 3 way repeated conversations

EffectivePromoting involvement of the right person, first time

SafeTo reduce the commonest reason for Adverse Events

Human Factors

Page 9: Putting patient safety first Handover and Clinical Human Factors Matt Inada-Kim Acute Medicine Lead, WEHCT, NHS South Central Patient Safety Federation

A Middle aged father of two…

(a) Plendil Ca channel blocker

(b) Isordil Long acting Nitrate

(c) Zestril ACE inhibitor

The Physician meant Isordil 20 mg QDS

The Pharmacist read it as 20 mg Plendil QDS

The starting dose of Plendil is 10mg OD..

The patient devloped a critically low BP and died within the week.

Communication

How do we improve the transfer of information?

How do we encourage junior staff to speak up and be heard if they perceive a possible Adverse Event ?

How do we avoid a Tenerife disaster within our hospitals ?

Situation: What is happening at the present time?

Background: What are the circumstances leading up to this situation?

Assessment: What do I think the problem is?

Recommendation: What should we do to correct the problem?

SituationMr Jones is a 88 year old man with Severe back pain secondary to a pathological

fracture of T6 and confusion.

Background This is unclear, but he may have been coughing recently, there is no collateral.

AssessmentHe’s got focal tenderness on T6, the T spine Xray confirms fracture, he’s also slightly

hypoxic with sats of 90% on room air, and has some left basal crackles. His GCS is 14/15 and he’s disorientated.

Recommendations

ED SHO- “I don’t know why he’s developed a pathological fracture, but he can’t cope at home with this and his (possibly new) confusion. His bloods have all gone but are not back. He’s needing morphine to control the back pain and I don’t know if that’s contributed to his confusion.”

Med Reg- “Can you get an chest Xray and an ABG on his way round to us, he may have a pneumonia or intrathoracic malignancy. If he has evidence of pneumonia please first dose him with Ben Pen and clarithro, if he’s not allergic.

ED SHO- “Sure, so Ben Pen and clarithro if he’s got a pneumonia”
