Optional SUSP Tools: Briefing Audits, Morning Huddle, and Shadowing
Our Approach
Comprehensive Unit based Safety
Program (CUSP)
1. Educate staff on science of safety

5. Implement teamwork tools
Translating Evidence Into
Practice(TRiP)
1. Summarize the evidence in a checklist
2. Identify local barriers to implementation
3. Measure performance
4. Ensure all patients get the evidence

Were errors made or avoided?
What went well, what should change, what can improve?
Debrief Checklist

Why briefings and debriefings?
• Teams perform better when…1. They have a high quality plan2. They share the plan3. They learn and improve over time
• Briefings and debriefings can help, but they do not guarantee good planning.– ‘Checking the box’ ≠ mindful engagement
Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality

How do you get a mindful process?
• Coaching, role modeling, and feedback– Show that the organization values this process– Build effective communication behaviors
• ‘Closing the loop’ with outcomes of the briefing and debriefing process– E.g., defects identified and corrected– Establishes the validity (and utility) of the process

Auditing briefing practices
1. Develop / adapt an auditing tool 2. Train observers3. Collect data4. Provide feedback
Develop / Adapt a briefing audit tool
• What are the local expectations for briefings?– What is the policy? What forms / structures are
supposed to be in place?• What are ‘best practices’ outside of current
expectations?– E.g., developing contingency plans
• Are these reflected in your auditing tool?– Take and modify ours, or others in the literature
Example briefing audit tool
• Briefing logistics• Briefing basics• Specific content• Participation
Train observers
1. Select observers– Who has time? Who has interest? – How many do you need (depends on the boundaries you
set)?2. Educate on the tool
– Walk through the items and explain anything that confuses the observers
3. Conduct a dry run– Score a briefing together, compare, and discuss any
inconsistencies (you can use videos for this if you have them).
Our experience training observers
• We used a wide range of observers– Medical students, RNs, residents, fellows,
psychologists• We achieved high reliability with little time
spent training– Sections with more explicit items were easier to
obtain higher reliability (mean kappa across 19 cases)
• Briefing basics, kappa = .847 • Specific content, kappa = .820• Briefing participation, kappa = .569
Collect Data
• Set your boundaries– Specific department or service line?
• Create a sampling strategy– Given the boundaries you set, and the resources you
have, what number of observations should you target?– What’s the best way to track observations? By intact
team? By surgeon?• Define your process roles and responsibilities
– Schedule for observations– Data entry

Provide feedback
• Present data to stakeholders– CUSP team and other staff meetings– Charts displayed in common areas
• Use data to… – Revise / refine briefing expectations
(policies, processes, checklists)– Coach and reinforce behaviors
PRE-OPERATIVE DAILY HUDDLE
Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality
20
The Problem
• Scheduling surgical procedures is often complicated by:– unanticipated problems and obstacles– poor communication among anesthesiologists,
surgeons, resident/CRNA colleagues and nurses
• This inefficiency in patient care delivery wastes patient and provider’s time and increases stress for both parties
Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality
21
What is a Pre-Op Daily Huddle?
• A dialogue between 2 or more people using concise and relevant information to promote effective communication prior to beginning patient procedures in the operating room suites
• An opportunity for all participants to voice concerns and address issues that will affect the quality of patient care delivery and patient flow
Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality
22
Purpose of Tool
• To provide a structured process to assist the anesthesia coordinator and charge nurses in:– anticipating potential problems during the day– increasing efficiency of patient flow
• To allow the anesthesiology and OR nursing coordinators to readjust the OR schedule to ensure efficient and timely flow of patient care
Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality
23
Who Should Use this Tool?
• Anesthesiologist/OR coordinators – who make staff assignments and plan for patient flow within
the Operating Room Suites
• OR Nurse Coordinators/Charge nurses – who make staff assignments and are responsible for patient
needs being met
• ICU staff – who use the OR schedule to triage ICU bed availability, as
well as identify other operations not posted for an ICU bed that may require one
Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality
24
How to Use this Tool
• Complete this tool daily during a meeting between the Anesthesiologist OR coordinator and the OR Nursing Coordinator
• Can be completed in part the night before and finished the next morning and/or could be used prior to the start of the first morning case
• Major issues that involve significant delays/cancellations are communicated directly to the appropriate attending surgeon or other appropriate staff members no later than 07:00 by the Anesthesiologist OR coordinator

Huddle Process
Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality
26
I• What happened today, (last evening, overnight if applicable) that I need to
know about?
II
• Anesthesiology and OR Coordinators should meet with the Nursing Coordinator to plan the day and review the schedule together.
• Review the day schedule for any changes, cancellations, or add-on cases.• Are there any concerns after reviewing the OR schedule?
III• Do you anticipate any potential defects or risks during the day? If so, how can
you reduce these risks? (May be completed at the beginning or end of the day.)
SHADOWING
Why Do We Need to Shadow?
• To gain perspective of the other providers– Practice – Responsibilities– Work environment
• To identify issues that affect teamwork and communication that may impact patient care, patient care delivery and outcomes
28
Who should have this experience?• Patient care areas as part of the Comprehensive Unit Based
Safety Program (CUSP)
• Staff involved in the delivery of patient care in units where culture score indicate a poor score in teamwork and safety
• When there is a difference of > 20% in culture scores
between provider types
• As part of orientation to a new unit
• Units with little collaboration between disciplines
29
How To?
• Review the tool prior to your shadowing experience
• Follow your fellow worker through their daily activities.
• Review your list of communication and teamwork problems
• Discuss with your fellow worker
• Make a plan for resolution
30
Review the Tool
• Set up with questions and prompts for the personnel using it.
• You should make changes that are specific to your unit!
31
Section 1: Were any health care workers difficult to approach?• Things to think about:
– How did that impact the health care worker you followed?• obtained an order, ignored etc.
– What was the final outcome for the patient? • delay in care, etc.
32
Section 2: Did one provider get approached more often for patient issues?
• Things to think about:– Was it because another health care
provider was difficult to work with?
33
Section 3-5
• Did you observe an error in transcription of orders by the provider you followed?
• Did you observe an error in the interpretation or delivery of an order?
• Were patient problems identified quickly?
34
Planning for improvement
Specific Recommendations Actions taken
35
• What will you do differently in your clinical practice?
• What would you recommend to improve teamwork and communication
