Education: The following education programs were delivered across all HCA facilities as webcasts to watch live or to view later as a recording. Each program was or will be transferred to an on-line learning program on HealthStream.com and available nationally. The PowerPoint presentations are available for viewing. Prevention of Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections (November 2005) Prevention of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia - Part 1 (March 2006) Prevention of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia - Part 2 (May 2006) Sedation and Delirium: Monitoring and Management (October 2006)
Inventories (Surveys): ICU Overview Survey: Distributed July 2005 to all HCA facilities to provide a description of current critical care practices in HCA hospitals and ICU involvement in quality improvement. Infection Control Surveillance Survey: Distributed December 2005 to all HCA facilities to collect information about hospital ICU infection control measurement, reporting and practices. Safety Attitude Survey: Distributed May 2006 to the participants of the Safe Critical Care Project to assess the perceived patient safety climate within intensive care units. The SAQ and Safety Climate Scale by Sexton, Thomas, Provonost et al. are published instruments validated for the ICU. Sedation and Delirium Survey: Distributed October 2006 to all HCA facilities to assess current practices that will help the field of critical care identify steps for improving ICU sedation and delirium care.
Paper Checklists:
To ensure our staff is equipped with the essential evidenced based medicine process, we provided paper checklists as an intervention tool and to assist teams in monitoring IHI bundled processes of care. Spreadsheet templates are provided to collect and display process and outcomes data for central-line catheter related blood stream infections and ventilator associated pneumonia. These templates are pre-programmed for easy minimal data entry and charting of control charts for quality improvement. The shared documents include the Excel files and the power point tutorial.
