Hospital-acquired pneumonia is now the number one hospital-acquired infection. Hospitals have addressed ventilator-associated pneumonia; however, patients not on a ventilator acquire more pneumonia with significant associated mortality rates.
In our hospital, non-ventilator-associated pneumonia was occurring on all types of units.
The Influencer Model was used to reduce nonventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia rates. Statistical process control R and X-bar-charts were monitored monthly.
After a gap analysis, an interdisciplinary team implemented enhanced oral care before surgery and on the units, changed tube management, and monitored stress ulcer medication.
We achieved a statistically significantly reduction (P = .01) in pneumonia rates that have been sustained over 4 years.
Sustaining change requires (a) a continued team-based, collaborative approach, (b) ongoing stakeholder and executive leadership engagement, (c) monitoring that easy-to-use protocols and required equipment remain in place, and (d) embedded analytics to monitor results over a prolonged period.
医院获得性肺炎目前是头号医院获得性感染。医院已针对呼吸机相关性肺炎采取措施;然而,未使用呼吸机的患者发生更多肺炎,且伴有显著的死亡率。
在我们医院,各类病房均出现了非呼吸机相关性肺炎。
采用影响者模型降低非呼吸机医院获得性肺炎发生率。每月监测统计过程控制R图和X均值图。
经过差距分析后,一个跨学科团队在术前和病房实施强化口腔护理,改变管道管理方式,并监测应激性溃疡用药情况。
我们实现了肺炎发生率在统计学上的显著降低(P = .01),且这一成果持续了4年。
维持变革需要(a)持续的基于团队的协作方法,(b)利益相关者和行政领导层的持续参与,(c)监测易于使用的方案和所需设备是否到位,以及(d)嵌入分析以长期监测结果。
