AGH
Self-Induced Overdose:
Contributing Factors
• Care Team Communication
– Parallel and informal evaluation and
communication of self-harm risk
– Informal assumption of polysubstance abuse
• Care Team Roles
– Medication identified solely by ER staff
– Primary focus on only physical health aspects of
admission
• Policies & Procedures
– Persistent access to patient of potentially toxic
medications
– PMH gathered solely from patient’s medication
bottle
AGH
Self-Induced Overdose:
Recommendations
• Care Team Communication
– AMR “tab” dedicated to psychosocial issues1
• Care Team Roles
– All pt home meds are to be ID by pharmacist2
• Policies & Procedures
– Develop a standard protocol for evaluation &
management of all overdose patients3
– Establish procedures for pts. at possible risk for
self harm1,4
– Establish security procedures for the intake,
storage, and disposition of pt home meds2
– Similar policy for potentially harmful pt. items2
AGH
Self-Induced Overdose:
Tracking Indicators
1. Suspected overdose patients assessed for
self-harm risk*
2. Employees scoring 70% or greater on
knowledge assessment of behavioral health
training courses*
3. Home medications stored securely*
*All indicators are percentage-based; goals for
implementation are to be set at 100%
compliance
AGH
Self-Induced Overdose:
Cost Analysis
• Incurred costs
– Room sitters (personnel-dependent)
– Time/resource demands for training personnel
re: new assessment procedures
– Monitoring/ongoing risk assessment
• Cost-neutral measures
– AMR changes covered by IT contract
• Estimated savings
– Reduced risk of emergent intervention

Job/Coverage Loss & Rehosp.:
Contributing Factors
•
Care Team Communication:
– Care teams engaged in parallel and informal
communication
•
Coordination of Social Services:
– Patient assigned to HCC
– Currently defined roles for HCC and SW
– HCC only involved near end of pt’s stay
•
AMR Usage:
– Hospital staff unfamiliar with documenting
psycho-social information into the AMR
– Incomplete integration of AMR with
organizational culture
AGH
Job/Coverage Loss & Rehosp.:
Recommendations
• Care Team Communication
– Psych team and SW make daily rounds together
for all primary diagnoses of mental illness,
psychosis, and drug overdose5
– Fully integrated multi-disciplinary teams
• Coordination of Social Services
– Redefine the role of the HCC6,7,8
– Automatic referral to SW in cases with primary dx.
of mental illness, psychosis, or drug overdose
• AMR Usage
– AMR “Tab” for psycho-social information
– Formal mechanism for staff feedback

Expansion of care team member roles
Supporting AGH mission and values
– Dignity
– Collaboration
– Stewardship

AGH
What If…
• Psych would have been more actively
involved in patient care?
Risk for self-harm would have indicated need for
1:1 staffing and/or suicide observation in ICU and
suicide observation in Ward 10A
• Pharmacy would have been more actively
involved in patient care?
Patient and drug ID would have been confirmed
Patient PMH might have been available
Concerns over sedative interactions might have
been dismissed
AGH
What If…
• Social Services would have been more
actively involved in patient care?
Patient job/coverage loss might have been
avoided altogether
Patient would have had access to local mental
health resources and “safety net” coverage
• All three domains had been aligned with
delivery of acute care?
No adverse events?
Patient would have certainly left our institution
better off than when she arrived (in many ways)

Future Directions:
• Increase pharmacy integration:
Discharge Planning/Consultation18,19,20
Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee18,19
Collaborative Drug Therapy18,19
Medication Reconciliation21

AGH
Concluding Remarks
• Consistent with:
– Our institutional mission
– IOM & IHI vision of the future
– Our patients’ needs/rights to access & receive
safe, reliable, and comprehensive care
