Patient Deterioration

COMMON

Hospital acquired respiratory complications have risen over the last 2 years with a 52% increase in private hospital separations with respiratory failure^*,2,3

The incidence of post-operative pulmonary complications in abdominal surgery is up to 39%⁴

As many as one third of patients who have a rapid response call while in hospital have sepsis.⁵

COSTLY

Hospital acquired respiratory complication had a 19% higher cost compared to non-hospital acquired respiratory complication episode in Australia.⁶

Activity based funding (ABF) will be subject to a reduction in funding amount up to 16% where a hospital admission has been complicated by a preventable HAC.⁷

Post-operative pulmonary complications prolong length of stay by up to 40%.⁸

HARMFUL & PREVENTABLE

Acute respiratory problems are among the most frequent post-operative causes of death.⁹

Hospital acquired respiratory conditions are potentially preventable.¹⁰

Early intervention can also minimise the occurrence of adverse events such as cardiac arrest & reduce mortality.¹¹

* AIHW definition for hospital separations: An episode of care for an admitted patient, which can be a total hospital stay (from admission to discharge, transfer or death) or a portion of a hospital stay beginning or ending in a change of type of care (for example, from acute to rehabilitation). Separation also means the process by which an admitted patient completes an episode of care either by being discharged, dying, transferring to another hospital or by changing type of care. The OECD HCQI specifications refer to admissions; however, Australia’s data are for separations.
