Our Successes
• Achieved a 67 percent reduction in duplicate medications• The percent of duplicate medications per office visit
dropped from 46 percent in July 2011 to 15 percent as of November 2011
• Cost avoidance estimated at $90,000 per three-month period
• UBT progressed from a Level 2 to a Level 4 by doing this project
![Page 9: Patient Safety March 5, 2013. Cumberland (GA) ID/Oncology March 5, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e895503460f94b8e7ac/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Our Challenges
• Patients didn’t know/couldn’t accurately describe their medications
• Barriers between oncology department and other specialties (such as pharmacy, pain clinic, renal and gastrointestinal) that treat the same patients
• Fear of disrupting another specialist’s treatment routine

Our SMART Goal
Implement new patient safety protocol within six months to prevent cross contamination between clean and dirty scopes used on patients by March 30, 2012.
![Page 18: Patient Safety March 5, 2013. Cumberland (GA) ID/Oncology March 5, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e895503460f94b8e7ac/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Background
After hearing a news report about how a patient was exposed to dirty scopes, a team member brought the issue to the UBT. They decided to work on the project together to make sure their patients were not exposed to harm.
“Although patient to patient exposure is rare, it has devastating effects,” says William Berry, MD.

Our SMART Goal
South San Francisco Radiology will reduce “significant” event errors from a baseline of
13 in 2011 to a goal of zero through 2012.
“Significant” events are defined as any instance where a patient is unnecessarily irradiated, including incorrect body part, incorrect side, wrong patient, etc.
![Page 31: Patient Safety March 5, 2013. Cumberland (GA) ID/Oncology March 5, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e895503460f94b8e7ac/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Our Timeline
Date Milestone
September 2011 Patient safety director approached us to start a Performance Improvement project
Invited Radiation Oncology to present their “Stop the Line” project to our UBT
October - December 2011
UBT did root-cause analysis for all significant events in 2011
![Page 32: Patient Safety March 5, 2013. Cumberland (GA) ID/Oncology March 5, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e895503460f94b8e7ac/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Our Timeline
Date Milestone
Jan. 2012 Determined two key factors leading to significant events: staff feeling rushed and deviation from workflows
Feb. – March 2012
Adapted Stop the Line form from the radiation oncology team and created standardized workflow
April 2012 Launched Stop the Line at a department “town hall” meeting
![Page 33: Patient Safety March 5, 2013. Cumberland (GA) ID/Oncology March 5, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e895503460f94b8e7ac/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Stop the Line Form
![Page 35: Patient Safety March 5, 2013. Cumberland (GA) ID/Oncology March 5, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e895503460f94b8e7ac/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Our Best Practices
• Review Stop the Line forms at UBT meetings• Track data to identify opportunities for
improvement and measure successes• Perform root-cause analysis if similar issues repeat• Collaborate with Risk/Patient Safety department to
resolve issues related to other departments impacting radiology
![Page 36: Patient Safety March 5, 2013. Cumberland (GA) ID/Oncology March 5, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e895503460f94b8e7ac/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Our Challenges
• Solving issues outside of radiology that impact our workflows and patient safety.
![Page 37: Patient Safety March 5, 2013. Cumberland (GA) ID/Oncology March 5, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e895503460f94b8e7ac/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Our Successes
• Reduced “significant” events from 13 in 2011 to 5 in 2012
• Since April 2012, 250 Stop the Line forms have been submitted, averting “significant” events before they reached the patient
• Empowered staff members to follow the standardized process and stop to do the right thing for a patient’s safety
• Improved working relationships with other departments
![Page 38: Patient Safety March 5, 2013. Cumberland (GA) ID/Oncology March 5, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e895503460f94b8e7ac/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Our Key Learnings
• Collaboration with other departments is vital
• Data is a powerful tool to:
– identify root causes – within and outside the department
– communicate and collaborate with other departments that
impact patient safety in Radiology
• Understand how departments impact each other in the larger
system.
• Leverage the UBT to do the groundwork for changes in
workflows
