Employee safety and the reduction of Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred are a focus of the Solutions for Patient Safety Network. One significant contributor to the Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred rate at Children's National Hospital is employee slips, trips, or falls.
Children's National Hospital implemented a multidisciplinary quality improvement with executive leadership vision and support. We implemented quality techniques (including Key Driver Diagrams, Pareto Charts, and continuous Plan-Do-Study-Act) and designed novel Environmental Services interventions.
Children's National Hospital achieved a 44.3% reduction in monthly average reported slips, trips, or fall events from baseline and sustained over a 2-year study period.
A leadership-driven multidisciplinary approach to quality initiatives with team leaders capable of making and enacting real-time policy changes led to novel interventions and a successful reduction of employee slips, trips, and falls events over time, which are broadly generalizable.
员工安全以及减少离岗、受限或调岗天数是患者安全网络解决方案的重点。儿童国家医院离岗、受限或调岗率的一个重要促成因素是员工滑倒、绊倒或摔倒。
儿童国家医院在行政领导的愿景和支持下实施了多学科质量改进。我们实施了质量技术(包括关键驱动因素图、帕累托图和持续的计划-执行-研究-行动)并设计了新颖的环境服务干预措施。
儿童国家医院自基线起每月平均报告的滑倒、绊倒或摔倒事件减少了44.3%,并在为期2年的研究期间保持这一成果。
一种由领导驱动的多学科质量改进方法,团队领导者能够制定并实施实时政策变革,带来了新颖的干预措施,并随着时间的推移成功减少了员工滑倒、绊倒和摔倒事件,这具有广泛的通用性。
