TIDS-ADE Background
• Trigger tool methodology
focused mechanism for risk reduction
event precipitates a response
Example: IHI
• Adverse drug events
common/costly
usually actionable
clinical/IT interface
Project Goals
• Develop a functional trigger tool for ADEs in
hospitalized patients that can be disseminated
broadly
• Detection at multiple time points related to event
occurrence (before, during, or after)
• Potential benefits in clinical care setting:
1. Prevention of ADEs
2. Mitigation of ongoing ADEs
3. Capture of “true” ADE rate
• Toolkit for real-world implementation
Definitions
• Trigger = alert: any event prompting further investigation
by clinician.
• ADE criteria = if event attributed to drug and:
reaches a level of harm that is durable or
requires a change in the treatment plan due to
unacceptable level of risk for harm or patient discomfort
• Example of “unacceptable risk” for patient harm:
-INR ≥ 6.0 and active warfarin order
-event prompted discontinuation of drug=ADE
• Broader concept of ADEs

Timing
• Site leader meetings

Implementation: Triggers
• Choice/set-up of triggers:
higher yield alerts (Classen, Evans JAMA 1991)
core set of 1520 consensus, tiered TIDS alerts
tailoring to local site capabilities/priorities
• Trigger validation steps (3-phases):
programmer’s bank of “dummy data”
real-time pre-launch tests by site IT pharmacist
post-launch troubleshooting for obvious “misses”
• Uniform process for evaluating trigger utility

Impact on ADE Detection rates
• Expanded definition of ADEs for project:
patient harm or unacceptable risk for patient harm
• TIDS Alerts considered to have detected an ADE if:
alert detected an adverse event or trend
adverse event or trend was caused by a drug
Baylor Grapevine
• >40 cases meeting both conditions over 10 weeks
• Approximately 4-5 ADEs detected per week with TIDS
2.3 ADEs per 100 admissions
•
Voluntary reporting: <0.5 ADEs per 100 admissions
Lower ADE rate at Baylor?
• Sites in published literature:
3-6 ADEs per 100 admissions
academic centers/training programs
mature EHRs/CPOE
experience with trigger tool methodology
vs.
• Community setting
paper based with varying degrees of IT support
staffing limitations
acceptance of trigger approach to ADEs
verification process can be difficult
Additional Outcomes
• Qualitative Feedback
level of detail in alert felt to be beneficial
favorable view of alerts with trending
evaluation piece undermined perceived usefulness
sharp learning curve
fits well into existing practice patterns
• Quantitative
80 hours of programming time for study triggers
45 minutes pharmacist time daily
Lessons learned from TIDS-ADE
• High risk situations can be captured prospectively
with use of a trigger tool
• Need to resource multi-site collaboration
general framework for implementation
• Outcomes are influenced by site characteristics
performance of specific triggers
ADE detection rate
• Dynamic evaluation process for alerts is critical
optimizes performance of the triggering system
reduction in alert fatigue
TIDS-ADE: Future Directions
• Full analysis/toolkit development in progress
• Incorporation of broader ADE definition into
daily patient care
• Clarify endpoints for “successful” triggers
• Cross-cutting projectrealistic planning for
resource allocations
