RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Societal demographic shifts are occurring globally. Within Quebec, Canada, the percentage of adults over 65 (older adults) is predicted to increase from 19.3% to >25.9% by the year 2036. Older adults (OAs) experience hospitalizations more frequently than persons aged 15-64 years old, and hospitalizations for OAs can be detrimental due to naturally occurring physiological changes. To address the needs of this population, the Quebec government mandated that all acute care hospitals implement OA-friendly care standards called AAPA ("l'Approche Adaptée à la Personne Âgée"). AIMS: To describe an approach for identifying barriers and facilitators (BFs) to AAPA implementation at the McGill University Health Centre, an academic healthcare centre in Montreal that provides tertiary and quaternary care. METHODS: Our approach included an organizational quality improvement (QI) model based on the Institute for Healthcare Improvement QI approach and the use of the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) to guide the assessment of BFs to AAPA implementation. To identify the BFs of AAPA implementation, themes were generated from the raw data. RESULTS: In total, 32 barriers and 88 facilitators were identified. Each BF was linked to one or more corresponding domain from the TDF. Seven of the most frequently occurring domains were: (1) knowledge, (2) beliefs about consequences, (3) social/professional role and identity, (4) social influences, (5) environmental context and resources, (6) intentions, and (7) goals. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION: A theory-informed approach, such as the TDF, can be used to facilitate the implementation of evidence-based guidelines.

RESUMO

The objective of the study was to document the impact of Transforming Care at the Bedside (TCAB) program on health care team's effectiveness, patient safety, and patient experience. A pretest and posttest (team effectiveness) and a time-series study design (patient experience and safety) were used. The intervention (the TCAB program) was implemented in 8 units in a multihospital academic health science center in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The impact of TCAB interventions was measured using the Team Effectiveness (TCAB teams, n = 50), and Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea and vancomycin-resistant Enterobacter rates (patient safety) and Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (patient experience; n = 551 patients). The intervention was composed of 4 learning modules, each lasting 12 to 15 weeks of workshops held at the start of each module, combined with hands-on learning 1 day per week. Transforming Care at the Bedside teams also selected 1 key safety indicator to improve throughout the initiative. Pretest and posttest differences indicate improvement on the 5 team effectiveness subscales. Improvement in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus rate was also detected. No significant improvement was detected for patient experience. These findings call to attention the need to support ongoing quality improvement competency development among frontline teams.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to describe how spread strategies facilitate the successful implementation of the Transforming Care at the Bedside (TCAB) program and their impact on healthcare workers and patients in a major Canadian healthcare organization. DESIGN: This study used a qualitative and descriptive design with focus groups and individual interviews held in May 2014. Participants included managers and healthcare providers from eight TCAB units in a university health center in Quebec, Canada. The sample was composed of 43 individuals. METHODS: The data were analyzed using NVivo according to the method proposed by Miles and Huberman. FINDINGS: The first two themes that emerged from the analysis are related to context (organizational transition requiring many changes) and spread strategies for the TCAB program (senior management support, release time and facilitation, rotation of team members, learning from previous TCAB teams, and engaging patients). The last theme that emerged from the analysis is the impact on healthcare professionals (providing front-line staff and managers with the training they need to make changes, team leadership, and increasing receptivity to hearing patients' and families' needs and requests). CONCLUSIONS: This study describes the perspectives of managers and team members to provide a better understanding of how spread strategies can facilitate the successful implementation of the TCAB program in a Canadian healthcare organization. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Spread strategies facilitate the implementation of changes to improve the quality and safety of care provided to patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The Transforming Care at the Bedside (TCAB) project engages frontline health care providers as the leaders of change and improvement efforts in their work environment. This study explored how health care providers and managers from three TCAB units in a university-affiliated health care center perceived the development of their change capacities following their involvement in this program. METHOD: This descriptive, qualitative study involved focus groups and individual interviews. RESULTS: Participants learned to work as a team and to expand their outlook. They had access to processes and tools to learn new skills. New relationships also developed among the various players, and they shared new roles, which enabled them to translate the desired changes into action and make the results visible. CONCLUSION: The study showed the TCAB program helps develop health care providers' and managers' change capacities.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Healthcare-associated infections are an important patient safety concern, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Infection prevention and control implemented in healthcare settings are largely focused on the practices of healthcare professionals. Patient and family engagement is also recognised as an important patient safety strategy. The extent to which patients and families can be engaged, their specific roles and the strategies that support their engagement in infection prevention remain unclear. The overarching objective of the proposed study is to explore how patients and families can effectively be engaged in infection prevention by developing a consensus framework with key stakeholders. DESIGN AND METHODS: The proposed study is based on a cross-sectional exploratory study at one of the largest university hospitals in North America (Montreal, Canada). The targeted population is all healthcare professionals, managers and other non-clinical staff members who work on clinical units, and the in-patients and their families. The study is based on Q methodology that takes advantage of both quantitative and qualitative methods to identify the consensus among the various stakeholders. This exploratory Q research approach will provide a structured way to elicit the stakeholders' perspectives on patient and family engagement in infection prevention. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The research ethics board approved this study. The research team plans to disseminate the findings through different channels of communication targeting healthcare professionals, managers in healthcare settings, and patients and family caregivers. The findings will also be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals in healthcare management and in quality and safety improvement.
