What’s your 10:15a session at #APIC2022 ??

I’m in “Motivational strategies for more effective change management”
Motivation for change management. One of the speakers had to go to a client hospital for a State IP Audit. Peak IP right there. Being pulled from one important thing to take care of another. #apic2022
Side bar. No seatbelt laws in New Hampshire. The state where the motto is: Live Free or Die.
And as of 2019 we only have 90.7% compliance in the country for seatbelts. It only took 40 years of change management to get there.
Knowledge, attitudes (which are based on relationships), and ultimately practices of the individuals.
We cant force people to decide to change their practice.
how difficult is this? Only 20% of MI pts actually change their lifestyle to reduce likelihood of another.

I like that we talk about different theories. We’ve talked Maslow, Taylorism and now we’re on Herzberg with his 1968 @HarvardBiz article titled “One more time: How do we motivate our employees?’

A little snark was detected there. #apic2022
External motivation can break internal motivation.
Example: paying kids in high school for good grades backfires in college when they’re no longer paid for that same effort. Their grades suffer. #apic2022
We want people to internalize ideas. We don’t want people to simply take the orders they’re given. We want to motivate EVS caregivers to connect their work to the safety of our patients and colleagues.
It is the perception of safety that matters to people , not the reality of safety. #apic2022
(Tims editorial) Disagree? There’s always a tweet
The elephant wins. Everytime it wants.
The paradox of choice: (I call it analysis paralysis)
Give people choices but in a constrained way.
#apic2020
Little hassles have a very disproportionate effect on outcome. How many times on the way to a restaurant will you be rerouted before you give up?
Power, urgency, legitimacy and the coalition of stakeholders that are available to us. #apic2022
Message 7: you must tailor your message to your audience
#apic2022
Think about, at the end of every email, add a recognition at the bottom. Someone who did something right. Share that with others. #apic2022
Steel Axe Heads:
In Australia missionaries gave steel axe heads to local indigenous people who only ever had stone heads. It caused a breakdown of family structures and their society.

think about the impact of your changes b4 roll out.
Q&A:
the idea of discreet change is gone. We are now in a cycle of constant change. Moreover how much change can we handle before we breakdown.
Q&A: how do you overcome a lack of trialability?
Make sure the team involved has some way to give feedback. Give them a voice so that they have an outlet.

I’m in the pseudo clabsi outbreak presentation #APIC2022
Good review of mediports, communication when an outbreak is suspected, and what steps to take when considering whether or not bacterial isolates are ‘related’ so to speak. #apic2022
Observations in procedure area showed some opportunities including drift from standard practices.

Tim editorial:
How many of us in IP have heard or experienced this before? Reinforces the need to be in the clinical space.

SSI is super exciting! Look at this crowd for “Behind closed doors: IP & Surgery “ Image
What is the role of IP in SSI prevention? We’re about to find out. #APIC2022

Well, given the volume (up to 300k patients at risk) and cost (financial and other) SSI is important to prevent.
Despite COLO and HYST moving down, and below an SIR of 1, it hasn’t been statistically significant.

HPRO AND KPRO are above an SIR and remaining flat
