1 Presentation at ACS NSQIP National Conference in July 2015 Surgical Site Infection Reduction Strategies

2 PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend Level II Trauma Center 379 Beds 15,060 cases in Colorectal cases in 2014 One of four PeaceHealth hospitals in Oregon Serves a five-county area, with reach into tertiary referral markets Among premier surgery centers in Pacific Northwest 2011 PeaceHealth 2

3 Among surgical patients, surgical site infections (SSIs) are the most common type of nosocomial infection, accounting for approximately 38% of these infections. The highest rates occur after abdominal and colorectal surgery. SSIs are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, prolonged hospital stay, increased costs, and higher readmission rates PeaceHealth 3

4 Our facility s SSI rates were trending upward, and in the NSQIP January 2012 SAR, the hospital was identified as a high outlier, in the 10 th decile, for SSI in all cases with a 6.05% infection rate. The hospital s colorectal SSI rate was also a high outlier, in the 10 th decile, with an infection rate of 20.71%. The colorectal SSIs accounted for 41.8% of the hospital s SSI PeaceHealth 4

5 In February 2012, concurrent work was started to develop a colorectal enhanced recovery pathway, while incorporating a best practice bundle to reduce SSI rates PeaceHealth 5

6 Steps in process: Our facility NSQIP model was changed to general/vascular procedure-targeted review, and the NSQIP program was expanded with a second SCR to support our expansion to multispecialty review. Data outside general/vascular was now available for department-wide quality review. A colorectal stakeholder team was assembled to create a colorectal ERAS pathway. A multidisciplinary surgery quality team was created to promote best practice within all of Surgical Services. Primary focuses were SCIP bundle compliance, hand-washing, and reduction of SSI and UTI PeaceHealth 6

10 Elements of Colorectal Pathway Preoperative patient education with discharge planning Standardized pre-op bowel preps with oral antibiotics Pre-operative analgesics and nausea & vomiting prophylaxis Preoperative carbohydrate loading Extensive use of regional anesthesia (epidural catheters) Use of laparoscopic approach or minimize incisional length. Maintain intra-operative euvolemia

11 Elements of Colorectal Pathway Active warming No post-operative NG tubes Avoid drains Minimize intra-operative and post-operative opiods Regular low residue diet 4 hours postop Enforced ambulation Scheduled acetaminophen, gabapentin, and NSAID s

13 SHRB SSI- NSQIP Odds Ratio Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 of 2011 were statistically worse than expected.

14 1. General surgeons meet to discuss NSQIP results. 2. Emphasis on hand hygiene housewide. 3. Chlorhexidine shower night before and day of surgery. 4. Chlorhexidine wipes implemented in surgical prep area. 5. Use of chlorhexidine surgical prep & reinforcement of correct technique for OR staff.

15 1. Mechanical bowel prep & pre-op oral antibiotics introduced. 2. Standard use of wound protectors. 3. SCIP pre-op bundle for all patients: timing, antibiotic selection, dose, redose. 4. Order sets changed to reflect SCIP pre-op bundle 5. Euvolemic volume replacement introduced.

16 BairPaws implemented to promote normothermia.

17 1. Full implementation of colorectal pathway begins. 2. RN concurrent reviewer provides feedback to surgeon on documentation to avoid SCIP misses. 3. Gown/gloves changed as appropriate during surgery.

18 1. Clean closure process & instrument set introduced to staff and surgeons. 2. Carbohydrate loading introduced for colorectal pathway patients.

19 Colorectal pathway and SSI bundle were re-evaluated by colorectal stakeholder team and surgery quality team.

20 Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 of 2014 were statistically better than expected.

25 Next steps: Peri-operative glucose control Further scrutiny of bowel prep Clean closure process improvement Nutritional optimization Re-educate nurses on surgical prep technique 2011 PeaceHealth 25

26 Conclusions: A best practice SSI reduction bundle combined with ERAS colorectal protocol resulted in dramatic improvement of overall SSI rates and postoperative morbidity. Developing a multidisciplinary team was critical to our success. Best practice guidelines were researched and followed. Using NSQIP data to drive decision making and actions with continual data review, including benchmarked and raw data, was essential to achieve our results. Multimodal interventions to reduce SSI have resulted in significant, sustained improvement in our facility s overall SSI rates PeaceHealth 26
