The HSHS Southern Illinois Division is comprised of HSHS St. “The Illinois Health and Hospital Association Quality Advocacy Showcase provides a timely reminder of the life-saving work Illinois hospitals do daily and the critical role state government plays in ensuring that hospitals have the resources to continue to provide high-quality care to all Illinoisans,” said IHA President and CEO A.J. IHA produced one 30-by-42-inch poster per hospital or health system project for the event. IHA’s Quality Advocacy Showcase, in its second year, is designed to visually demonstrate the often-overlooked and underreported work of physicians, nurses, quality improvement leaders and hospital administrators to develop solutions to improve care. These quality initiatives have positively affected patients, their families and our communities by: The HOUDINI protocol empowers nurses by outlining seven criteria for them to determine when to remove a catheter in the absence of a physician’s order. Joseph’s Hospital, Highland: The hospital implemented the HOUDINI protocol to reduce CAUTIs. HSHS Holy Family Hospital, Greenville: The hospital has not had a CAUTI in over 18 months due to several interventions and protocols put in place, and daily communication with providers and alternative measures. They also developed stratification guidelines for monitor duration. Joseph’s Hospital, Breese: The hospital implemented a collaborative telemetry monitoring process between the inpatient unit and emergency department for 24/7 coverage. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital: To decrease (CAUTIs), the hospital adopted a nurse-driven protocol for catheter removal based on patient criteria and a urinary retention protocol to identify retention issues and provide evidence-based interventions. Elizabeth’s Hospital: The hospital initiated hospital-wide audits of CLASBIs (rounding on every patient with central lines, establishing criteria for central lines, dressing and tubing maintenance, as well as switching to peripheral access).
The HSHS Southern Illinois Division hospitals showcased the positive impact of their individual quality initiatives: “This showcase afforded us the opportunity to demonstrate to our legislators how our HSHS Southern Illinois Division hospitals are enhancing quality and improving safety for our patients each and every day,” said Alyssa Eller, Director of Quality Improvement at HSHS Holy Family Hospital in Greenville.
The HSHS Southern Illinois Division leaders were among more than 100 hospital and health system leaders from across Illinois who discussed with legislators their innovative, practical and collaborative approaches to improve care during the Illinois Health and Hospital Association’s (IHA) Quality Advocacy Showcase. Joseph’s Hospital, Breese, shared information about how they have advanced patient safety by expanding their telemetry monitoring capability in their rural setting. Elizabeth’s Hospital displayed information about the steps they have taken to reduce central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLASBIs). Joseph’s Hospital, Highland, all shared about their initiatives to prevent or reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), while St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital, Holy Family Hospital and St. These five hospitals displayed information about quality improvement initiatives they had undertaken and shared with legislators how these initiatives have benefited patients, families and communities while reducing health care costs: Joseph’s Hospital, Breese HSHS Holy Family Hospital, Greenville and HSHS St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital, Effingham HSHS St.
