9. Innovating Care at MGH
We are attempting transformational change.
Innovation Units are tests of change that will help us quickly identify what works
and what does not work to improve the quality of care delivered to our
patients.
High performing interdisciplinary teams that deliver safe, effective, efficient,
timely, equitable care, that is patient- and family-centered
Standardization of processes and care reduces variation and introduces a
systematic approach to improving quality and safety in the inpatient setting
Identify and prioritize hazards and opportunities for standardization, then
implement evidence based methods to rectify the problem
-9-
10. Guiding Principles
Care delivery should always be: patient and family-focused, evidence-based,
accountable and autonomous, coordinated and continuous.
It’s important to know the patient.
Inpatient and family care is provided by a designated nurse and physician
who are accountable and responsible for continuity of care.
Continuity of the team is a basic precept.
Every novice team member deserves mentoring from an experienced clinician.
Every patient deserves the opportunity to participate in the planning of his/her
care.
Advancements in technology create opportunity for improved provider
communication and efficiency.
Revised 2013
10 Care should be delivered in the most -cost-effective manner.

15. Intervention: Relationship-Based Care
Relationship-Based Care
Relationship-based care is a transformation
model and intervention that improves key care improves outcomes:
provider relationships within an organization:
Relationships with Patients and Families
Relationship with Self
Relationships with Colleagues
- 15 -
Enhanced Quality
Improved Clinical Safety
Increased Patient and
Family Satisfaction
Increased Physician and
Staff Satisfaction
Greater Efficiency
Improved Resource
Management
16. Relationship-Based Care – Three Key Care Provider Relationships
Patients & Families
Self
Colleagues
The relationship between
patients and their families
and members of the clinical
team belongs at the heart
of care delivery.
Patient and family as
the central focus
Respect and personal
concern
Protection of dignity
and well-being
Active engagement
Intention to connect
The relationship with self is
essential to maintaining
each individual’s optimum
health, for having empathy
for the experience of others,
and for being a productive
member of an organization.
Skills and knowledge to
manage stress
Ability to recognize
personal needs and
values
Willingness to balance
work demands with
one’s own physical and
emotional health and
well-being
The delivery of
compassionate care
requires a commitment
by all members of the
health care team to
accept responsibly for
establishing and
maintaining healthy
interpersonal
relationships.
Open and honest
communication
Respect
Trust
Consistent and
visible support
- 16 -
17. Intervention: Attending Nurse Role
Responsible Nurse/Attending Nurse
Expand staff nurse role.
Accountable for patient/family continuity and progression along the
developed overall plan of care from admission to discharge
Ensures, along with the Attending MD, that patient care meets the
unit’s clinical standards and vision of patient- and family-centered
care
Develops and revises the patient care goals with the clinical care
team daily
Coordinates meetings with clinicians for timely decision making and
connects nurses to optimize handoffs across the continuum
Is the primary bedside communicator with the patient and family,
discussing plan of the day, care progress, potential discharge, and
answers questions/teaches/coaches
- 17 -
18. Intervention: Hand-Over Communication
Passing patient-specific
information:
From one caregiver to
another
From caregiver to patient
and family
Transfer of information
from one type of
organization to another or
to the patient’s home
SBAR: Hand-Over Communication Tool
This format should be used whenever a “hand-over” of
patient responsibility occurs, i.e. shift to shift report, etc.
S-Situation: Identify yourself and position,
patient’s name and the current situation.
Describe what is going on with the patient.
B-Background: State the relevant history and
physical (H&P), physical assessment pertinent
to the problem, treatment/clinical course
summary and any pertinent changes.
A-Assessment: Offer your conclusion about the
present situation.
R-Recommendations: Explain what you think
needs to be done, what the patient needs and when.
Verify any critical information received, review the history, seek
clarification, ask questions, and read back critical test results.
Goal: To ensure patient care continuity and safety
- 18 -
19. Intervention: Clinical data collection pre-admit
Pre-admission clinical data collection, along with screening and
patient education, are key components of “knowing our patients”
Current data collection standards and tools vary for different
populations (e.g. ED, Same-Day Surgery, Transfers)
At minimum, estimated discharge date and discharge disposition
should be documented upon admission.
- 19 -
20. Intervention: Welcome Packet
Discharge Information
Envelope Checklist
Patient and Family Notebook
Informs patients and families of goals
Designed to invite feedback
Includes patient and clinician compact
- 20 -
21. Intervention: Domains of Practice
Each clinical discipline articulated Domains of Practice - A sphere of activity or knowledge,
the perspective and territory, which includes subject matter, the main agreed-on values and
beliefs, the central concepts, the phenomena of interest and the methods used to provide
answers in the discipline
Disciplines: Nursing, Chaplaincy, Child-Life, Dieticians, Medical Interpretation, Occupational Therapy, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy,
Respiratory Care, Social Work, Speech-Language Pathology, Volunteers
Example 1 – Nursing: Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and
injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals,
families, communities, and populations (ANA).
Creation of a caring, individualized therapeutic relationship with patients and families that promotes health and healing
Assessment, diagnosis, plan, implementation and evaluation of interventions to promote the best possible outcome; this
process is done in partnership with patients, families and the health care team
Health teaching and promotion
Delivery of safe, quality and evidence-based practice
Collaboration and communication with all members of the health care team
Clinical inquiry and ongoing professional development
Example 2 – Respiratory Care: Respiratory therapists focus on improving and maintaining the cardiopulmonary health of
patients.
Set-up management and discontinuation of mechanical ventilation (both via artificial airway and face mask)
Administration and evaluation of the efficacy of aerosolized pharmacological agents
Set-up management and discontinuation of extracorporeal life-support to patients in the ICUs
Obtaining and analysis of arterial blood for gas exchange, pH and electrolytes
Assessment, maintenance, replacement, reposition and discontinuation of artificial airways
Education of patients and families on all aspects of respiratory care
- 21 -
22. Intervention: Interdisciplinary Team Rounds
“Interdisciplinary rounds keeps everyone on the same page. We all
hear the same information at the same time so we can craft our plan of
care in a way that’s best for the patient. It has had a noticeable impact
on communication on our Unit.”
Team member, White 6 - Orthopaedics
Create formal mechanism for daily communication between all
members of the care team
Facilitate concise and timely communication
Communicate clear picture of patient’s planned course among all
members of the care team
- 22 -
23. Communication: In-Room White Boards
A “communication basic”
Supports knowledge of care team
Builds relationships
Articulates patient’s goal
Keeps an eye on discharge
Can be integrated with notebook
and other teaching tools
Keeping the board current is
critical
It’s only as good a resource as it
is used…
- 23 -
24. Enabling Technology: Smartphones
iPhone and web application for sending/receiving instant messages to specific
individuals or groups. Users can write their own message or use the Quick
Messages available in the system.
Voalté iPhones send/receive phone calls over MGH secure wifi (no cell plan
used).
Sender selects staff they are trying to reach via a list with their name/role and
picture so no need to memorize who is carrying which phone
- 24 -
25. Intervention: Quiet Times
Designated hours on inpatient
units where activity and
conversation is minimized to
allow patients to rest
Most effective model is to have
a period in the afternoon and
during the night when quiet
hours are observed
- 25 -
26. Intervention: Discharge Follow-up Calls
100% of patients in the inpatient setting being discharged to home
will be asked to consent to receiving a discharge follow-up call.
Calls are made within 24-48 hours
We estimate 3-5 calls per day per nurse or attending nurse
Average call time is 3-5 minutes
Standard is two attempts to reach patient
Scripts are utilized
- 26 -
27. Intervention: Discharge Planning/Discharge Readiness Tool
Guides proactive discharge planning and is comprised of:
General Information
Work-up
Functional Requirements
Educational material
Post-Discharge instructions
Discharge Information
Discharge Checklist
Tools and workflow procedures, including checklists incorporating
LEAN principles from Toyota
Other relevant information
- 27 -
28. Intervention: Hourly Rounds – The Four Ps
Evidence-based research indicates that hourly rounding increases
patient satisfaction, decreases fall rates, decreases skin
breakdown rates, and increases staff satisfaction.
The Four Ps
Presence: Establish personal connection at the beginning
and end of each shift and with each hourly round
Pain: Assess and address patient’s pain
Positioning: Patient’s physical position and comfort;
Positioning of needed items within reach
Personal Hygiene: Help with toileting

39. Innovation Units
Are attempting transformational change
Will help us quickly identify what works and what doesn’t
without ever losing sight of our patients goals
Innovation and care redesign moving us closer to efficient,
cost-effective, high quality care that is patient- and familycentered and responsive.
Create the opportunity for evaluation and research inquiry that
can to link patient-sensitive interventions specific to
populations, enhancing care and potentially sustaining
behavior over time.
“We experience the essence of care in the moment when one human being
connects to another. When compassion and care are conveyed through touch, a
kind act, through competent clinical interventions, or through listening and seeking
to understand the other’s experience, a healing relationship in created.
This is the heart of Relationship-Based Care.”

MGH has identified 12 inpatient units as “Innovation Units”. Each of these units submitted proposals seeking to participate and represent a cross section of patient populations (e.g. Surgery, Oncology, Medicine, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Obstetrics, and Psychiatry). These innovation units will allow changes to the care delivery model to be tested and outcomes to be measured.
Best to say that your presentation is based on the current patient journey and that as the strategic plan unfolds additional ones will be added and the evaluation schema will be modified.
Innovation unit performance will be monitored via a dashboard of quality core measures, LOS, throughput, and satisfaction scores. Baseline data will be used to identify the impact changes have made on care delivery.
