DESCRIPTION
Back ground Tawam hospital faced many of the same barriers to patient safety present in hospitals elsewhere. The Leadership realized that the best way to enhance patient safety is to build a Culture of Safety at the hospital and hence has been implementing the Johns Hopkins Comprehensive Unit based Safety Program (CUSP). CUSP started as a pilot project in 2008 and now being implemented in ten units. Prior to implementation the leadership decided to measure staff perception of safety using evidence based tool. Method The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) was administered to all Tawam Hospital staff in three phases understand staff perception of safety. SAQ measures culture along 7 dimensions. The survey results are graded against percentage positive responses. Results A comparison of the SAQ’s pre & post CUSP implementation. ICU and Pediatric Oncology had six domains in the danger zone. NNU had four domains in the danger zone. 2010 & 2011 SAQ survey, the overall hospital score on all the domain scores were in the danger zone. 20 clinical locations in 2010 and 7 clinical locations in 2011 had less than 60% scores in the primary dependent variables. Conclusion SAQ results were disseminated department wise in the presence of a hospital Senior Executive. The unit staff selected one or two areas of concern and developed action plans for improvement. CUSP was rolled out in Six more units. Safety Analysis Teams have been established in the CUSP pilot units to analyze and learn from defects.

Accreditation)
Discussion items
• Non-punitive approach to error reporting.• Culture of safety survey scores and event
reporting linkages.• Creating a process to help frontline staff
report incidents and learn lessons out of it.
Summit Theme-"In Pursuit of High ReliabilityHRO principles
• Aligns with all the five principles of high reliability1. Sensitivity to operations2. Reluctance to simplify3. Preoccupation with failure4. Deference to expertise5. Resilience
“Quote”
“The single greatest impediment to error prevention in the medical industry is that we punish people for making mistakes.”(Leape 2009)
Dr. Lucian Leape is a professor at Harvard School of Public Health, he is a health policy analyst whose research has focused on patient safety and quality of care

Greatest Challenge at Tawam
• Employees hail from 60 nations• Hierarchies between providers • A culture that isn’t accustomed to
acknowledging medical errors.• Tendency for poor communication and
teamwork that lead to adverse events
Tawam had a history-“you made a mistake, and you’re terminated.”

When errors occur one of the three things happen
• It can cause the person to become a championOr • It can cause the person to leave the profession
prematurely Or• It can make the person go in to a shell and feel
completely withdrawn and Disengaged.
Data source
• Culture of safety assessment surveys• Incident Reporting system• System changes initiated through

Safety Event Analysis Teams- SEAT
–A team of believers & opinion builders– Team identified defects from Patient Safety
Net (PSN) – Implemented systems changes to reduce
the probability of recurring.–At least one defect was investigated each
month.
04/13/2023 20
System changes –Medication Cabinet
Verbal order carried out against policy for Narcotic medication. (Fentanyl Patch)– Analyzed usage of each Narcotic and Controlled
medication (for the previous six months).– Determined Critical/emergency need of each drug.– Reduced the inventory of the Narcotic and
Controlled by 50%. (reduced risk by half)– ICU physicians and nurses informed about the
changes.– Periodical review of the usage being carried out.
System changes – CVL pull
• Action to secure the Central Line– Implemented loop dressing to secure the
lines.–Monitored effectiveness of the system
change.–Wherever possible considered removing the
CVL.–Had no incidents thereafter.

System changes -Pressure Ulcers
• 9 PU’s reported between Oct 2011 &Mar 2012– Joint investigation conducted by wound care nurse
and wound care link nurse.– Developed Nursing care plans.– Conducted one to one education. – Involved Respiratory Therapists.– Introduced
• Change in policy • BIPAP vacations• Gel masks to prevent device related PU’s.

System changes Misplaced CVL
• Patient had a central line inserted in the ED and arrived in the ICU.
• The nurse was not sure about the position of the catheter.
• ICU doctor checked the chest X-ray done in ER– showed improper position
• Found to be an arterial line.• Action:
– Post procedure X-ray to be done and the position to be confirmed prior to shifting patient.
– Post procedure VBG to be checked.

Implications of SEAT
• The staff came open and reported the incidents• It helped institute a Fair and Just Culture• Investigation examined the processes and not just
people.• Staff share their experiences with other CUSP units. • SEAT helped turn these staff in to champions.
Broke the myth“you made a mistake, you don’t get terminated.”
Increasing trend in reporting
