Qip Project PPT Slides

The neuro ICU utilizes an authoritative leadership style and team nursing model. While patient care is the focus, staff feel more support is needed. The care team works collaboratively but lacks integrated information technology and hands-free communication. Improvement efforts are limited by time and resources. The document proposes introducing wireless communication devices to improve information sharing and reduce errors. A plan is presented to purchase Vocera devices and educate staff on their benefits over four training sessions.

Microsystem Mode
Organizational Culture and Support

Microsystem Model: Leadership


The leadership style of the Neuro ICU was authoritative. The
leadership struggled to find the appropriate balance between
supporting the staff and achieving performance goals by
having a wide range of responsibilities.
Leadership within the Neuro ICU
o Charge nurse frequently called off the ICU for step-down
unit, brain-attacks and was part of the rapid response team
o Nurse Manager worked with the hospital administration
system and was not a strong presence

The Neuro ICU utilized Team Nursing to provide care


(Charge Nurse, PCT, CNA) and provided resources,
information and recognition to empower the nurses to meet
the demanding needs of patients.
Contributions to organizational culture & support:
o Individual recognition of nursing performance in huddle
oMonthly recognition Nurse of the Month
o Positive unit atmosphere & team approach

Microsystem Model:
Patient Focus & Staff Focus

Microsystem Model:
Interdependence of Care Team

Patient Focus: Through patient-centered care, the unit is


effective in learning about and meeting patient
preferences, needs, and values.
Staff Focus: Staff members feel that they are valuable
members of the microsystem, but more could be done to
support them.
o High performance expectations
o Continuing education requirements

Nursing care is provided effectively by an


interdisciplinary team.
The interaction of the staff members is characterized by:
o Collaboration
o Willingness to help each other
o Support
o Appreciation of complementary roles

Microsystem Model:
Use of Information and Healthcare Technology

Microsystem Model:
Process for Healthcare Delivery Improvement

Information is THE connector between staff and patients.


A study by Koch et al., found that integrated information
enhances nurses situational awareness and decreases
errors (2012).
Integration of information with:
o Patients: have access to customized information upon
discharge
o Providers and Staff: staff constantly had to track down
essential information
o Technology: no mode of hands free communication 7

Required resources on this unit are seldom available to


support improvement work. Improvement activities
performed were in addition to daily responsibilities.
Resources required for process improvement
o Training
o Time
o Financial support

Microsystem Model:
Staff Performance Patterns

Specific Aspect Targeted for Improvement

Performance focuses on patient outcomes, costs,


streamlining delivery, using data feedback, positive
competition, and discussions about performance. Data is
often collected on the outcomes of the care provided and
on various processes of care
Performance Results
o Patient outcomes/streamlining
o Avoidable costs
o Performance discussions

Information Technology
Need for improvement based off of personal
observation and nurse interviews
Implement wireless technological communication
Nurses not able to contact charge/each other wirelessly
Charge communicates with step-down unit staff via
Vocera (hands-free communication badge)
Study: Vocera is flexible, mobile, easy, decreases
interruptions, saves time, preferred over phone and
pager
