What you should know about Preventable Harm

August 31, 2015 Emily Newhook

preventable harm the Latin expression "Primum non nocere" is familiar to all doctors: first do no harm. care providers do their best to avoid injuring people in the process of treating the disease, but despite all their efforts, patients are sometimes harmed while undergoing medical treatment. Some damage is considered inevitable, as postoperative bleeding in surgical technique despite perfect. Prevent further damage - damage due to errors - is a cornerstone in the movement to improve care and patient safety. This problem is serious. Until 1,000 deaths of patients per day can be attributed to preventable medical errors. This means avoidable harm is the third leading cause of death among Americans, behind heart disease and cancer.

What Is Preventable Harm?

The lack of a clear definition agreed obfu¬scates a full understanding of the nature of avoidable harm. Most working definitions include the idea that the injury is "identifiable" in that it can be attributed to medical care and "modifiable" in that it can be avoided. For the purposes of this article, we will use the Institute for Healthcare Improvement definition preventable medical injury as "Unintended physical injury resulting from or contributed to by medical care (including the absence of indicated medical treatment) that requires monitoring additional, treatment or hospitalization, or results in death. "Definition of preventable harm is important because some studies suggest that up to half of the experience of risk patients in hospitals are not preventable or not the result of an identifiable error. In addition, there is evidence contradictory regarding the prevalence of avoidable harm.

the elimination of avoidable harm is certainly a desirable goal, but in practice, it can not really be possible. the sad fact is, while damage may be "avoidable", a certain level of harm is considered inevitable because of health professionals, like everyone else, make mistakes. nosocomial infections, misdiagnosis, poor surgeries, medication errors, falls and burns in hospital, some cases of deep vein thrombosis, infections and surgical site bedsores are common examples.

the most common Preventable Harm

surgery
TYPE OF HARM EXPLANATION PREVALENCE / INCIDENCE
nosocomial infections nosocomial infections are caused by bacteria, viruses or fungal agents. Common types include infections of the blood stream, pneumonia, surgical infections, urinary tract infections and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Survey found that on any given day, an estimated 25 January hospitalized patients are affected by a nosocomial infection
error surgical -. Wrong Site Surgery Wrong Site Surgery include running on the wrong side or on the site of the body, performing the surgical procedure and poorly performing surgery on the wrong patient. agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Study that analyzed the information of nearly 3 million operations between 1985 and 04 found a rate of 1 to 112,994 surgical cases wrong-site.
medication errors medication errors include prescribing errors, dispensing errors, administrative errors and medication errors compliance of patients. Somewhere between 3 and 6 percent of patients experience medication errors each year.
In-Hospital Injury most injuries in the hospital are the result of falls. rate falls in US hospitals range from 3.3 to 11.5 falls per 1,000 patient days.
Misdiagnosis There are three types of medical misdiagnosis

    • False positive: misdiagnosis of a disease that is not actually present
    • False negatives: .. failure to diagnose a disease that is present
  • The equivocal: inconclusive interpretation without definitive diagnosis.
No reliable information on diagnostic errors. The available studies vary widely in their conclusions.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) DVT is a blood clot that forms deep in the body, usually in the bottom of the leg or thigh. When a blood clot breaks off, it can travel through the bloodstream and block blood flow in the lungs, heart or brain, causing an embolism. DVT risk is greater when the hospital because surgery and major immobility can both cause deep vein thrombosis. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Study found the annual hospitalization rate estimated for DVT to 547,596 from 07 to 09. It is not known how many of these cases could have been avoided.

What are the costs?

The avoidable harm to human toll is staggering. The most cited statistics come from a famous 1999 report by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) "To err is human." The report, one of the first one to put the hard science to the study of avoidable harm, shocked readers by letting 98,000 people die each year due to preventable adverse events. While many still cite that figure today, more recent studies of the same rigor estimate the true prevalence of avoidable damage to be much higher -. Between 210,000 and 440,000 cases per year

In addition to avoidable toll of injury takes human life, ample evidence suggests medical errors cost health consumers billions of dollars each year. A 2012 study broke down those costs in additional medical bills ($ 17 billion), the mortality rate increased ($ 1.4 billion) and lost productivity ($ 1.1 billion). Including the indirect costs of preventable harm, the economic impact could easily reach $ 1000000000000 annually. It should be noted that these cost analyzes are based on the number of incidents provided by IOM "To Err Is Human" study - if the calculations were redone with the highest figures reported by more recent studies the resulting cost would be 10 times higher.

Preventable injury fee also an emotional impact on everyone involved. Treat cases of avoidable harm means doctors have patients in their care for a longer period of time, nurses have more patients, and resources are stretched - creating an environment that could produce more cases of damage and loss morale. Family, friends and caregivers are affected as they put more time and effort to help the family recover. Finally, patients take more time off from work, school and other activities they like to regain full health.

What can we do to avoid this?

To prevent damage, government, governing bodies and professional organizations are doing their best to develop guidelines and best practices based on evidence to raise the level of care. When things go wrong it is usually multifactorial and involves a systematic or human error (and sometimes both). systematic guarantees are generally in place to prevent human error. So systematic failures as dysfunctional teams, lack of resources, poor communication, administration of poor health, ignore safeguards and checklists, or the predicate often malfunctioning technology and facilitate human error such as lack of knowledge or skills, fatigue goalkeeper and technical errors. Continuous monitoring of adverse events, as well as work to update policies and protection measures, is the best defense against the repeated adverse medical events.

As we develop new treatments and guarantees, which seems inevitable today may be tomorrow preventable. How to care standards are developed and put into practice? Let's look at a common example: An elderly patient falls out of her hospital bed to go to the bathroom. The patient requires care more driven to put his arm and prevent infection, and it does not leave the hospital until several days past its original release date. After getting home, friends and family should watch her and help with daily tasks.

Back at the hospital, a team of health care providers and administrators to investigate whether intervention on their part would have prevented the patient from falling. nursing staff was spread too thin to meet its final deadline? If it has been equipped with a catheter or bedpan? The ground was wet? She was given anti-slip socks? There are three possible outcomes to such investigation: (1) they might find that the current standards of care would not have prevented the fall and amend them accordingly; (2) they might find that there are reasonable safeguards in place, but they are not followed; (3) they could find there was no way to prevent the problem in the first place.

The analysis of the hospital believes that although all current guarantees were respected, no one discusses the high risk for falls with the patient, and the patient is not considered at high risk for a fall. To avoid this happening in the future, additional security has been set up where the nurse communicates service with the patient about the danger of falling from the hospital and encouraged not to leave his bed without assistance .

There are many resources available for those looking to reduce the number of adverse medical events. Many non-profit organizations, healthcare organizations and government agencies are working to provide both the public and the medical community with the latest and greatest in health care innovations. In addition, it is important that we educate the next generation of doctors, nurses and health administrators to understand the severity of preventable adverse medical events and encourage innovation in the search for solutions.

Recap: Scaling the Self-Tracking Movement -

Background: Scaling Auto-Tracking Movement

October 5, 2015 by MHA staff @GW

now that more than a third of American adults own a mobile device, it is important to examine how this technology will evolve. How can we use self-generated data to improve health outcomes for ourselves but also for our communities? In August, MHA @ GW organized a live Google Hangout on the future of mobile technology regarding health

wearables hangout

There were a number of topics -. Including how consumers use mobile devices, what kinds of socioeconomic barriers are inhibiting access to them and what needs to change in order to transform the movement of individual self-monitoring in one in which health outcomes of the population are improved.

The Panel

Pierre Vigilance, MD, MPH, moderated the discussion. He is the associate dean for practice of Public Health and associate professor of global health at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at the George Washington University. . A leader in the practice of public health, management and education, he has over 20 years experience in the health and well-being

The four panelists joined Dr. Vigilance

  • Blair Palmer. The laboratory leader for innovation UNICEF in San Francisco, she graduated from Vanderbilt University. Palmer holds a Masters in Public Health from Yale University, and was recently included in the list of Dell # Inspire100 world changers in entrepreneurship, philanthropy, education and media using technology to stimulate and inspire others.
  • Jacqueline Fellows. An award winning journalist and editor with HealthLeaders Media, his weekly column on medical leadership focuses on the particular problems faced by doctors in hospitals, health systems and group practices. It also contributes a monthly business based on service lines to the review of the hospital.
  • Autumn Saxton-Ross Dr. The program director of the place-based initiatives for the National Collective for Health Equity (NCHE) she holds degrees in sociology, health education and exercise science. His research, academic and professional interests are in the social and physical environment and their influences on health behaviors
  • Teresa Wang Research and Strategy Director at Rock Health - .. full service seed fund that supports the start of digital health care - she graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in the program of science and Vagelos life management with a bachelor of arts in biology and a bachelor of science in economics with a concentration in management and health care policy [

Key Takeaways

  • meaningful use is the key . This does not refer to the "meaningful use" typical of the electronic health record (EHR), but rather, which makes the data useful for the individual or the vendor that tapping into it.

    collecting data just isn 't enough, consumers and health care providers need analyzes that help to make sense of what has been collected. This includes the ability to take disparate data from a variety of sources and integrate it to influence the results. Palmer stressed this fact.

    "It is looking beyond self quantified ... and really look at how you qualify then that data," she said. "What data are significant, and how did you make it meaningful to show really improve health outcomes?"

  • A solid infrastructure is necessary. This is about much more than portable devices and the ability to capture data within them -. analysis and value creation are needed both

    For example, fellows cited the current environment in which health care providers are adapting to changes in models payment, as a place where this data could make a difference.

    "I speak to C-Suite leaders of health care organizations and hospitals, and physician groups and specialized groups. and what they are struggling to do is spend one to a world based on the value based on the volume, "she said." The health of the population is a big part of that. There are some organizations who do a good job. But overall, the infrastructure is not really there to support dynamically as it should be. "

  • patients and providers need to be engaged. Fellows also said that, in addition to creating closer links with patients through the use of technology to improve health, we need to include doctors, too.

    "Although these technologies are coming along, doctors must also be able to engage with them and use them in a meaningful way with their patients," she said. "You to make it easier for patients, but I think you have to make it easy for doctors, too. "

    The technology should be available to address health disparities. This includes affordability, education and reliable telecommunications systems within the various socio-economic populations and rural areas. Saxton-Ross underscored the challenge that may exist in communities that are not traditionally oriented towards supporting health-promoting behaviors and prevention.

    "How can we make these things happen simultaneously, so we don 't, again, see this fracture each with the technology, but not everyone who these behaviors? "she said. "Or, recognizing that these behaviors have not really been a part of culture or are not supported for individuals to take advantage of these opportunities?"

  • Wearables can make a big difference in the developing world This will happen most effectively making it the most readily available technologies -. such as smartphones. By integrating into existing services and infrastructure, improving service life and life existing savings can be delivered.

    Palmer said UNICEF works with these solutions through its Wearables for Good Challenge, which includes a casebook for those interested in the development wearables for social good.

    "It goes through the different areas of intervention of the way you do just that, and looking at the design constraints that would be needed in these last mile parameters So, how to achieve this mother needs to have prenatal care before she has her baby? "she said. "We consider these types of solutions you are not only thinking about the user. - You talk about the user, but you are also watching the local context"

  • multiple points and tactile consistency are needed to promote healthy behaviors in communities throughout the system -. including socio-economic and cultural factors - must be considered. Saxton-Ross said that the creation of better ways of including more than one item unique influence.

    "If we think of all the systems that people engage with it are all possibilities to help the commitment," she said. "So, as technology develops ... How can we use these systems ... as opportunities to promote these beneficial health behaviors?"

  • There is more than one way to create change. There are many ways in which data collection can make a difference, such as social media, online communities and smart cities in which digital technologies is used to better communicate with citizens, improve efficiency and improve quality. in addition, alert and response community systems can be used to treat epidemics, disasters and other emergencies.

    when asked if she knew particularly innovative or interesting ways that people were incentives or by the device itself or by other methods, Saxton-Ross spoke of how the amount of money that is generated by private device companies could be reinvested to improve the health of the population in a variety of ways.

    "If we think that money and how it can revert back to communities through philanthropy and really help, this is a great opportunity that can help communities get to the root of these problems. .. we can all pick up that bag, "she said.

  • generation gaps exist . Wearables that are not related to traditional health care is more to reach the younger crowd. Wang noted that due to the use of an electronic angle increases consumer access to better health for individuals and creates momentum for it to happen. However, mobile technology also shows the gap between the generations in terms of how the data is used.

    "Because wearables are consumer electronics, you see a generation gap," she said. "The young or the young generations are much more comfortable to share their data and are much less concerned about what their data is used to. "

  • History questions. Those who have had negative experiences with the technology, the use of their data - or both - may be resistant to create deeper connections through its use. It is therefore essential that accurate education be provided to users - including consumers, patients and providers. They want to know things like data ownership, privacy, and security - especially at a time when security breaches and sale of data to third parties is becoming more widespread. Provide transparency on how these things are dealt with and avoided go a long way toward building trust.

Consider the future

Improvements in technology are creating new opportunities to move beyond wearables fitness tracking to affect health in new ways. However, in order to improve results, increase access, commitment, trust and meaningful use of data will be achieved. The goal here is not to reach conclusions on the future of wearables, but provoke further discussion on issues related to the merger of technology, data and health because he saw beyond of the individual and in the general population.

How about you? What is your perspective on the evolution of the mobile health? How do you use mobile technology to improve your own health or the health of your community? What are the obstacles to progress exist in the use of mobile technologies in health care? What ingredients do we need to create sustainable solutions?

TEDMED #GreatChallenges: Connect the dots in patient-centered care

March 13 , 2014 Emily Newhook

KavitaPatel Kavita Patel MD - the moderator of this TEDMED event, general manager for clinical transformation and delivery to the Engelberg Center reforming health care and economic research fellow at the Brookings Institution - was recently named Young global leader by the World economic Forum. The Forum of Young Global Leaders is a multistakeholder community of exceptional young leaders who share a commitment to shaping the future of the world. Each year the World Economic Forum identifies 0-300 extraordinary individuals worldwide. Together they form a powerful international community which can greatly influence the future of the world.

care plan Even the most well thought out has the potential to fail if the circumstances of the individual patient's life are not taken into account. Consider these examples:

  • A man who insists on antibiotics for an abscessed tooth because he is afraid of the dentist
  • A woman who does not go to the hospital for tests because she has no one to take care of her cat
  • a child going without prescription because her parents can not afford the copay

Patient-centered care to help solve these types of problems, proponents of the work of patient-centered health care to increase patient participation and to examine the patient's personal context when designing care plans. A recent program TEDMED Great Challenges explored this in a Google Hangout, which brought together a community of stakeholders, opinion leaders and stakeholders in a synergistic line forum with the purpose of influencing a better health future and medicine.

Moderator Kavita Patel, MD, is the executive director for clinical transformation and delivery to the Engelberg Center for reforming health care and economic study fellow at the Brookings Institution. Moreover, it is a practice of primary care internist at Johns Hopkins Medicine University and the former director of the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement Policy for the Obama administration.

CSI

The expert panel met to this hangout TEDMED Great Challenges Program each had a story about how they were affected by the problems created when contextual issues are not considered either as healthcare workers, patients or both.

Saul Weiner , MD, an internist and researcher of pediatrics at the University of Illinois at Chicago, was inspired by his experience in the supervision of medical residents and help them explore and identify ways to improve individualized treatment decisions. His research has led to the term "contextual errors" to describe "medical errors that result from failures to identify or take into account factors in the lives and circumstances of patients that are relevant to their care."

Alan Spiro , MD, used the experience gained from 25 years in the delivery of health care and management leadership to become a founding member of Accolade - an innovative approach to improve the experience of care of the health of consumers. the Accolade mission is "to help people get the right care the first time."

Susan Sheridan , MBA, MIM, is the director of patient participation at the Research Institute of patient-centered outcomes (PCORI). Sheridan became involved in patient safety and patient advocacy after experiencing the heartbreak of two distinct failures medical system that resulted in the death of her husband and brain damage in her baby.

Key Insights

Topics covered in the one-hour discussion ranged from consequences for research to practical advice and daily for stakeholders. Panelists shared the following ideas :.

  • contextual errors can result from all the factors that are somehow relevant to the patient and affect treatment
  • The best time to involve patients in care is before care is made.
  • proof of both the market and research shows that contextual errors lead to unnecessary costs and waste.
  • people need guidance through the complex health care system and fragmented.

with the patient-centered care, panelists also emphasized the need to search more patient-centered. They advocated the use of participatory research (CBPR) community-based methods to infuse wisdom of the patient in the research design to create meaningful results. A change to CBPR methods also benefit from a change in assessment measures to help physicians improve patient-centered skills. Panelists recommended to share this new research on informed patients directly with patients in an easily accessible way.

Strategies and Takeaways

Because the needs of each patient is different, there is no single strategy that will work in all cases. However, panelists discussed several strategies to improve individual care:

  • Get the right care at the right place at the right time. Use teams e-medicine and telemedicine care to help patients to become involved and provide patients the attention they need.
  • Provide continuing care team education on behavior change strategies to complete medical training.
  • Encourage and enable patients to be "at the table", not only for their own care, but for research, policy and patient global commitment.
  • Invite patients in their own care team. Or, as a patient advocate for the invitation.
  • Provide and use information as a source of energy.
  • Develop measures to see if the interactions are truly patient-centered.

This discussion great challenges concluded that there is no "one size fits all" regarding the patient-centered care, but simple changes can work a change paradigm, which can enable patients, providers and systems to work together toward positive individual results
