Presentation Objectives
• Overview how EPIC evolved
• Describe the science behind EPIC
• Describe future EPIC plans
Background
• Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI)
methods have been investigated for
reducing bronchopulmonary dysplasia
(BPD) and nosocomial infection (NI) in the
NICU
• Limitation - existing CQI techniques employ
a subjective, uncritical approach to practice
change that may not be evidence based
How did EPIC Evolve?
 Problems with traditional continuous quality
improvement (CQI) approaches
 Subjective
 Not always evidence-based
 Seldom use data from institutions in question
 Mostly intra-institutional in nature
 Results are not always generalizeable
 We developed EPIC to improve upon traditional
CQI approaches
EPIC Objectives
• To develop a new scientific method for QI – EPIC
that is:
(a) Evidence-based – uses published evidence
(b) Objective – uses data from individual hospitals to
identify practices for targeted intervention
(c) Collaborative – uses a national network to share
expertise and experience
• To test whether EPIC reduces BPD and NI in a cluster
randomized controlled trial of Canadian NICUs
The Thee Pillars of EPIC
1. Objective
 Systematic reviews of evidence
2. Quantitative analysis
 Multi-centre outcomes and practices
 Identifies practices associated with outcome
variation that can be targeted for intervention
3. Utilizes collective multi-disciplinary expertise
 Infection control, quality improvement, etc

Prospective cluster randomized controlled trial 12 NICUs
Randomization – 6 BPD, 6 NI
Each group Control for other
Additional controls - 5 other NICUs in CNN that were not
participating in the study
All infants < 32 weeks gestation were enrolled
Definition: (a) BPD – O2 need at 36 weeks GA
(b) NI – Positive Blood, CSF or Urine culture
2 phases (a) Baseline period (1 year)
(b) Intervention period (2 years)
Funded by Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Baseline data collection on outcomes and practices
Train multi-disciplinary hospital teams
Review of published literature
Meeting to share findings
Identify Critical Care Pathways
Qualitative research – identify barriers to change
Data analysis – identify practice differences associated
with outcome variation for targeted intervention
Data Analysis to Identify Practices for
Targeted Intervention
• Grouped Data Analysis
- compare outcome variations among NICUs
- identify non-therapy and therapy related risk factors - estimate the
attributable risk of risk factors
• Individual Hospital Data Analysis
- calculate hospital specific incidence rates
- identify hospital specific risk factors for targeted intervention
- conduct trend analysis using control charts
• Generalized linear mixed effects model
- to adjust results for the cluster randomized design
• Monte Carlo Bootstrap Simulation
- to estimate the 95% confidence limits for control charts
Therapy Related Risk Factor for NI - PICC
• Therapy related risks
- central lines,
- mechanical ventilation,
- parenteral nutrition,
- lack of enteral feeding
• 40% of nosocomial infection associated with
central lines
• PICC lines carried highest risk
Adjusted probability for developing
nosocomial infection for PICC lines

Conclusions
• EPIC is effective at reducing NI and BPD
in the NICU
• Interventions targeting one outcome may
affect other outcomes
• EPIC may be more effective and less
costly at improving quality of care than
traditional CQI methods

Improve upon EPIC/PHSI
Improvements in EPIC/PHSI
 Eliminate feedback delays
 one button reports
 short term feedback & unverified data
 Decrease onus of data collection
 Use only relevant CNN data
 Facilitate communication
 Knowledge Broker
 Divide NICUs into 4 groups for quarterly
teleconferences, site visits, mentorship
 Ease implementation
 4 groups will have mix of experienced EPIC sites
EPIC/PHSI Plan
 Make what we learned in EPIC-I available to all
Canadian NICUs in EPIC/PHSI
 Training of Infection Teams – MD, RN, QI
 Introduce the EPIC interventions-best practice
template
 Review EPIC-I literature reviews
 Review qualitative findings from EPIC-I
 Barriers and facilitators to change
 Develop change strategies for each NICU
 Implementation of EPIC interventions
