The role of people 2
‘…’simplify, standardise and improve basic processes and reduce reliance on people by automating as much as possible…….ideally, the human contribution to the process of care is reduced to a minimum………’
![Page 29: The ‘three ages’ of - lf.upjs.sk Smith Patient safety CEEA 2018.pdf · •Learn from failure but also have constant and active awareness of the potential for things to go wrong](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050718/5e1689d71e12c529a91aff50/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Incident reporting
• Can show latent errors in systems of care
• Involve everyone in quality improvement
• Can guide management of critical situations (AIMS)
• Can provide data to buy new equipment or bring about changes
• Can help prevent repetition of incidents

• What happened?
• How did it happen?
• Why did it happen?

Investigation model
• Wait for something to go wrong
• Find out what happened
• Attribute actions to people
• Find out the root cause
• ‘Fix’ the systems so it doesn’t happen again (recommendations, training and protocols)
![Page 39: The ‘three ages’ of - lf.upjs.sk Smith Patient safety CEEA 2018.pdf · •Learn from failure but also have constant and active awareness of the potential for things to go wrong](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050718/5e1689d71e12c529a91aff50/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
‘Work as imagined’ vs. ‘work as done’
![Page 40: The ‘three ages’ of - lf.upjs.sk Smith Patient safety CEEA 2018.pdf · •Learn from failure but also have constant and active awareness of the potential for things to go wrong](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050718/5e1689d71e12c529a91aff50/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

The role of people 3
• ….’individuals, teams and organisations are aware of hazards and adapt their practices and tools to guard against or defuse threats to safety. It is these efforts that ‘make safety’…..’
………..…..or create resilience.
![Page 43: The ‘three ages’ of - lf.upjs.sk Smith Patient safety CEEA 2018.pdf · •Learn from failure but also have constant and active awareness of the potential for things to go wrong](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050718/5e1689d71e12c529a91aff50/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Individual and organisational resilience
• Human performance is poorer if you are tired, hungry, stressed, sad, disgruntled or the victim or witness of rudeness or coercion
• How you deal with the consequences of error
• Balance feeling safe with maintaining a culture of vigilance and ‘intelligent wariness’
• ‘Sixth sense’ and conscientiousness are vital
![Page 44: The ‘three ages’ of - lf.upjs.sk Smith Patient safety CEEA 2018.pdf · •Learn from failure but also have constant and active awareness of the potential for things to go wrong](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050718/5e1689d71e12c529a91aff50/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
A structured ‘what if’ technique (SWIFT) to assess anaesthetic risks
• What can go wrong?
• How and how often?
• How bad?
• Is there any need for action?
![Page 45: The ‘three ages’ of - lf.upjs.sk Smith Patient safety CEEA 2018.pdf · •Learn from failure but also have constant and active awareness of the potential for things to go wrong](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050718/5e1689d71e12c529a91aff50/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Method
• Mapping of perioperative process
• Questions e.g. ‘what if the GP doesn’t consider the anaesthetic?’
• Dominant causes, consequences and existing safeguards identified
• Ranked and prioritised
• Understand why people behave as they do
• Recommendations for safety improvement
![Page 46: The ‘three ages’ of - lf.upjs.sk Smith Patient safety CEEA 2018.pdf · •Learn from failure but also have constant and active awareness of the potential for things to go wrong](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050718/5e1689d71e12c529a91aff50/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

The ‘third age’ of patient safety
• Learn from failure but also have constant and active awareness of the potential for things to go wrong
• Through our actions, conscious and subconscious, we create resilient systems and ‘make safety’
• Accountable for unprofessional behaviour but culture is open and fair
• Understand that systems are complex and small changes can have big effects
![Page 49: The ‘three ages’ of - lf.upjs.sk Smith Patient safety CEEA 2018.pdf · •Learn from failure but also have constant and active awareness of the potential for things to go wrong](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050718/5e1689d71e12c529a91aff50/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Investigation model revised
• More complex than the ‘first story’
• Not linear at all - multiple, interacting variables
• Find out why we did this many times previously and things went well – understand everyday activities/ rescue points
• Strengthen the system so we do more things well: experience, conscientiousness, variety, redundancy

Conclusions
• Safety science has moved on: ‘third age, third way’
• Formal, standardised approaches are useful, but other safety strategies are available
• Need to better understand why things go right most of the time
• Personal and organisational resilience are related
• Small changes can have big effects

‘Simple’ measures for patient safety
• Medication errors
• Checklists
• Central venous catheters
• Wrong site regional blocks
• Handovers

Medication safety
• Drug packaging and storage
• Colour-coded syringe (and infusion line) labelling
• Single use of vials only
• Distractions
• Read label (drug/ampoule/syringe)before a drug is drawn up or injected. Two people ideally.
• Pre-filled syringes

Residual drugs in cannulae
• Patient suffered an unexpected respiratory arrest on ward after surgery . He was intubated and ventilated by the ITU team , and transferred to CT scan for further investigation …. Upon extubation later in the day , the patient reported full awareness of the events leading up to his arrest , describing a ‘ heaviness’ which crept up his arm , into his jaw and led to him being unable to breathe, but with a full level of consciousness . This occurred immediately following a cannula being flushed in his hand.

Surgical safety checklist

Barriers to checklist adoption
• Shyness about introductions• Duplication with existing checks• Poor communication between anaesthetist and
surgeon• Time-consuming• Ambiguity• Many risks not included• Patients’ attitude to questions

Making the checklist ‘work’
• Consistent – all cases
• Complete – all items
• Faithful – only tick when item is truly addressed
• Team united in adapting checklist and planning its use

Central line bundle
• Hand hygiene
• Maximal barrier precautions during insertion
• Chlorhexidine skin antisepsis
• Optimal catheter site selection, (subclavian vein preferred site for non-tunnelled catheters)
• Daily review of need for line, with prompt removal of unnecessary lines

What makes a good handover?
• Information
• Structure: situation, background, assessment, recommendation (SBAR)
• Shared understanding: repeat-back
• No interruptions!

Mid-case handover
• Previous health/current condition of patient
• Outline of anaesthetic technique
• Current surgical status
• Patient observations
• Check of monitoring and equipment
• Notification of surgeon
• Notification of responsible anaesthetist
• Documentation

The ‘third age’ of patient safety
• Learn from failure but also have constant and active awareness of the potential for things to go wrong
• Through our actions, conscious and subconscious, we create resilient systems and ‘make safety’
• Accountable for unprofessional behaviour but culture is open and fair
• Understand that systems are complex and small changes can have big effects
