Agenda Item V. Performance Updates
Ms. Anderson provided the Quality & Patient Safety Update highlighting the following:
Patient Safety
o Reportable Events –
Medication Related Events – The Sentinel Event Determination Team (SEDT)
reviews all variances to see if they caused harm, determine how we could
have prevented the event, and develop action plans when trends are noted.
Falls with Injury – The Falls Committee meets monthly to review falls. They
reviewed the Johns Hopkins Falls Program they put in place to ensure
everyone is following the program and made a few tweaks to the program.
An immediate post-fall huddle called by the nursing staff ensures everything
was done appropriately and determines if anything could have been done to
prevent the fall. We are starting to track controlled lowering, which is when a
healthcare provider sees individual falling, rushes to the individual and assists
them to the floor. It still counts as a fall but with our ICOUGH program, there
is more opportunities for control lowering.
C-difficile continues to increase. We are making changes to documentation
screens, computer pop-up messages on ordering, and starting to review all
hospital-acquired cases with the Infectious Disease physicians.
Surgical Site Infections (SSI) – We have seen a decrease in these cases this
year. A colorectal checklist was developed, joined Improving Surgical Care
and Recovery (ISCR) Cohort for improved surgical care through all of periop
(starts in the physician office and goes through discharge), and we are
currently developing a checklist and order sets for Hips/Knees. Having the
involvement of the surgeon and anesthesiologist has been a huge help to
develop the right strategies.
Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI) – With the
implementation of the Vascular Access Specialist Team (VAST), we have
seen a decrease. They continue to perform observations and teaching on
proper barrier precautions and insertion techniques, proper hub prep prior to
access, proper changing of tubing as appropriate, and removal protocol.
Quality and Performance Improvement
o Stroke Program Recognition – This year Norman Regional Health System
received the Get With the Guidelines – Stroke Silver Plus Quality Achievement
Award from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. The
requirements for the “Silver” Award:
Meet 85% or high compliance to core standard levels for care, as out outlined
NRHA Board Minutes 4 June 25, 2018
for a consecutive 12 months period.
Meet 75% or higher compliance in 7 of 10 stroke quality measures during the
same consecutive 12-month period.
Meet a three-level Honor Roll requirement, which they received the highest
level “Honor Roll-Elite Plus, which is time to thrombolytic therapy within 60
minutes in 75% or more of acute ischemic stroke patients treated with IV tPA
(they achieved 81%) and within 45% in 50% of acute ischemic stroke patients
treated with IV tPA ( they achieved 52.4%).
They strive to receive the gold award next year, which requires the same
standards consistently met for 24 months.
o Vizient Hospital Improvement Innovative Network (HIIN) Outcomes
Sepsis – The Porter Campus Baseline Sepsis Mortality Rate from January
2014 thru September 2016 was 17.78%. We are currently at 15.77% a
10.3% improvement. When we annualized that improvement, NRHS avoided
15 cases of Sepsis Mortality.
SSI Colon – NRHS went from a 1.96% to a 1.17%, which is a 40.1%
improvement and avoided four (4) cases for the year.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services goal is a 20% reduction in
harm and a 12% reduction in readmission across the nation. NRHS
submitted data on 26 metrics in these two categories.
o Patient Experience – Inpatient Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare
Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) Calendar Year 2018 data through March
Communication with Nurses (Always) – Through the entire quarter they are
above the goal of 78.84. Interventions done were hourly rounding,
standardized call light answering process, and leadership support.
Communication with Physicians (Always) – For the year they were a little
under the goal of 80.32% at 79.83%; however, for February and March 2018
they were above the goal of 80.41% at 82.37%.
Health System Real-Time -- Would Recommend Trends – From inception to
last week, trending upward.
Agenda Item VI. Approval of the May 2018 Norman Regional Health System
Financial Statements
Mr. Hopkins presented the May 2018 Norman Regional Health System Financial report
highlighted the following:
May System Inpatient Volumes – Admissions were strong in May. Discharges
were 7.4% above budget with a favorable Average-Length-of-Stay and strong Cath
Lab and Surgery. Despite this stronger volume, there was pressure on net revenue
due to weaker than expected payer mix, decrease SHOPP revenues, higher denials
than budgeted and low Case Mix Index.
May System Outpatient Registrations – System Outpatient volumes were also
strong in May. Overall outpatient visits were 7.7% higher than budget and included
strong Cath Lab and surgeries. Clinics registrations continue to outpace a tough
budget.

Agenda Item VII. Medical Staff
A. Report from the June 13, 2018, Medical Executive Committee (MEC)
Dr. Mantooth reported that MEC met June 13, 2018, and highlighted the following:
Discussed the Probiotic Protocol Trial where patients on antibiotics were started on
probiotics in an effort to decrease the number of C.diff cases within the System. As
patients were discharged, they were recommended to remain on the probiotic for a
total of five days. This trial began January 16, 2018. The conclusion was that the
estimated total annual cost saved by using the Probiotic Protocol was $110,667.
There were no adverse effects during this trial. Currently starting to change all
antibiotic order sets to start a probiotic. Discussed the cost of the probiotics once
the patient is discharged. The ongoing discussion is going to be, should we give the
patients the probiotics they need to complete their course and what would be the
cost and how will that impact the savings. Currently we are not providing the
probiotics to the patients on discharge. They are recommended to purchase them.
Discussed the Penicillin Testing Trial – Screening all patients who listed Penicillin as
an allergy. Two Hundred eighty one patients with penicillin allergies listed were
tested. Five of the 281 patients were to receive a Penicillin Antibiotic and all five
tested negative. There is talk about expanding this as well because there are many
patients admitted and may not be on a penicillin antibiotic this time, but return and it
would be nice to have a verified test result of non-allergy to penicillin. Talking about
the cost of this additional test.
Discussed and approved leaving the critical Potassium low value of 3.0 for both
inpatients and outpatients.
Reviewed and approved the 2019 Utilization Review Plan.
The Provider Satisfaction Survey results were presented noting that for FY2018
they will be targeting nursing, Emergency Department residents, and Advanced
Practitioners. Ms. McGill presented initiatives that the nursing staff will be taking in
response to the provider Satisfaction Survey. A suggestion was to consider bringing
back the Nurse Extern Program because the quality of nurse from that program was
NRHA Board Minutes 6 June 25, 2018
superior. Ms. McGill stated she would look into getting this program revived. She
said they were also working on a standardized patient hand off tool and from that,
each floor could customize patient handoffs that better fit their department.
Discussed and approved adding the Physician Disruptive Behavior Policy addition to
the Medical Staff Bylaws, which will be voted on by all Medical Staff before sending
to the Board for final approval.
Discussed and approved adding the proposed Recusal Policy to the Medical Staff
Bylaws, which will be voted on by all Medical Staff before sending to the Board for
final approval.
Department/Committee Reports
o Health System Quality Patient Safety Committee – Ms. Anderson reported
that NRHS is currently at 59% overall for sepsis, the state is at 49% and the
nation is at 50%. Four units have begun trialing the ICOUGH program and have
received valuable feedback for the system-wide roll out. NRHS continues to
struggle with C.diff, Colons look good, but hip and knee infections have
increased. Ms. Blau gave a compliance report and discussed the Star Rating

Ms. Greenleaf reported the Patient Quality and Safety Committee met on June 4, 2018,
and received a comprehensive report by Ms. Anderson. Ms. McDade, Ms. Johnson, Mr.
Branum and Mr. Brawner provided a TeleTracking update. TeleTracking, which went
live in March 2017 with a Transfer Center, Pre-Admit Tracking, Transport Tracking, and
Bed and Patient Tracking, follows the patient from admission to discharge. It gets our
rooms cleaned quicker because it gives the signal to the Environmental Tech that the
room is vacated and ready to be cleaned. This makes the room ready for the next
patient more quickly. It might be nice for them to provide an update to the Board. The
Committee’s focus priorities will include infections, sepsis and mortality.

meeting focused on the four focus area goals, objectives and expected year-end
targets.

reduced the variability in the rating and improved overall.
In the Focus Area of Operational Excellence:

indicator with the exception of operating margin, which is 0.3% off target at end
of May 2018.

overall patient visits and in new patients.
o In general, health system service lines and ancillary services experienced growth
in procedures, testing, surgery volumes, both in inpatient and outpatient setting.
In the Focus Area of Clinical Excellence:
o The Health System has made good progress in population health that uses better
care management of patients with chronic disease and healthcare spending.
Specifically in the areas of hip and knee joint replacement, reduction in Medicare
spending per beneficiary (MSPB), in length of stay, and in readmissions due to
Urinary Tract Infections (UTI).

myocardial infarction, heart failure, coronary artery bypass grafting and chronic

money longer and challenging claims.
