How to prevent SSI in Michigan
The Problem: Surgical site Infection Evidence Based Initiatives in 73 hospitals
• Pre op shower
• CHG skin prep
• Glycemic control
• Normothermia
• Short duration surgery
• Appropriate IV antibiotics
• Oral antibiotics with bowel prep
• Laparoscopic approach
• Weight based dosing
• Redosing for >3 hr cases
• Wound protector
• Prehabilitation
• Enhanced Recovery Program
SSI- A Major MSQC Initiative
The site visit fills an important gap
• Team building!
• Validate quantitative
information- does it have “face
value”
• Identify barriers to
implementation
• Collect new qualitative info
• Troy-Beaumont
• Allegience
• Genesys
• Marquette
• Hurley
• Sparrow
• St Joseph-AA

Surgical Learning Health System
1. Develop an eLearning ‘tool kit’ for Collaborative Quality Improvement start-up
Tool kit development will be a ready-made solution to share knowledge from the MSQC
embedded within the existing eLearning MSQC learning management platform
(CourseMill).
2. Initiate infrastructure for a Consolidation Center at the University of Michigan.
The Consolidation Center would function as a headquarters providing oversight, guidance
and governance of the regional collaboratives.
3. Establish an inaugural Collaborative Quality Improvement (CQI) conference/workshop A
conference will provide opportunity for sharing infrastructure, framework, data integrity,
technology and expertise for a successful CQI-LHS.

Travel the Blue Highways
Practice-Based Research—“Blue Highways” on the NIH Roadmap
John M. Westfall, MD, MPH; James Mold, MD, MPH; Lyle Fagnan, MD
JAMA. 297(4):403-6, 2007 Jan 24.
NIH roadmap could benefit from “blue highway” or practice-
based research that connects major academic centers to rural
areas.
Be Deviant (Positively)
52
MSQC follows the principles of “positive deviance” as an
approach to identify practices that improve healthcare quality.
