Too often, quality, safety and experience (QSE) teams work in silos without a common language or operating principles. Each is often viewed as its own discipline. We sought to nurture a culture of high reliability by highlighting the overlap of quality, safety and experience with the patient at the center of the Venn diagram to amplify each other’s disciplines.

Readmissions within 30 days of discharge for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were identified as a potential area for program improvement. To address this problem, the PIH Health Whittier Hospital Respiratory Department developed and implemented a pulmonary disease navigator (PDN) program that focused on patient assessment and education and multidisciplinary collaboration to reduce 30-day readmissions and length of stay.

Successfully implementing a Bayesian area under the curve over 24 hours:minimum inhibitory concentration (AUC:MIC) calculator integrated into the electronic health record (EHR) for therapeutic monitoring of vancomycin at a large, 12-hospital health system requires some heavy lifing. An initial, unsuccessful trial of a homegrown first-order equation calculator led us to an EHR-integrated Bayesian platform.

During fiscal year 2022, only about 19% of patients with serious illness who died received palliative care at the University of Missouri Health Care. In October 2022, executive leadership launched the Serious Illness and Advanced Disease project to connect seriously ill patients with palliative care earlier in their disease process. The project began as a pilot for patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; by February 2023, the percentage of such patients that received palliative care had increased from 49% to 74%.

Clinical pharmacists play an important role in adding value in the inpatient setting. However, most productivity metrics for pharmacist staffing models are based on drug distribution metrics. SSM Health aims to capture metrics for the clinical value of the pharmacist. Pharmacy leaders worked to standardize the pharmacy practice model, which included using a rule-based clinical monitoring dashboard within the electronic medical record (EMR). The group also standardized documentation to maximize workflow efficiency.

Diabetes medications account for a large proportion of medication spend. Pharmacist-driven projects can offer opportunities to reduce costs and maximize clinical benefit. Penn State Health’s ambulatory quality pharmacists focused on the therapeutic duplication of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor medications. Learn about the drugs’ mechanisms of action and potential root causes of therapeutic duplication and how our targeted initiative enabled us to remove suboptimal therapy and often recommend alternatives for maximum clinical benefit.

Patient populations at elevated risk of readmission do not always have the correct medications at time of discharge to continue their therapies, which can result in negative patient outcomes and lost revenue opportunities. Meds-to-beds programs deliver discharge medications to the patient’s bedside, eliminating a trip to a pharmacy and ensuring that the patient has the medications needed for a successful care transition after discharge. The meds-to-beds program has led to improvements in medical center readmission rates and patient experience.
