SCCM Resource Library-Best Practices: Quality Improvement, Safety, and Sustainability

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Karen Chung, a Pediatric Intensivist from Hamilton, Ontario, discusses the adoption and sustainability of the ABCDE bundle in the ICU. She emphasizes the importance of thinking about ICU liberation not just as a bundle or practice guidelines, but as a standard of practice and expected practice for institutions. Chung highlights the six components of quality care: effectiveness, safety, patient-centeredness, efficiency, timeliness, and equity. She explains that patient quality and safety are linked to outcomes, costs, and satisfaction. Chung mentions that key performance indicators, such as hospital-acquired infections, are crucial for hospitals. She also notes that ICU liberation targets conditions that lead to poor patient outcomes, increased costs, and consequences in and out of the ICU. Chung states that the ICU liberation bundle fulfills all criteria for quality improvement and emphasizes the need for clinician buy-in, education, and team collaboration to optimize delivery and sustainability. She also recommends involving leadership and lobbying for change in institutions. Overall, Chung presents ICU liberation as the poster child for quality improvement and calls for its inclusion in key performance indicators.
