To evaluate process metrics and outcomes following implementation of the ‘Rethinking Critical Care’ (RCC) ICU care bundle in a community setting. Patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at three hospitals in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California integrated healthcare delivery system between January 1, 2009 and August 30, 2013. The RCC ICU care bundle is designed to reduce potentially preventable complications by focusing on the management of delirium, sedation, mechanical ventilation, mobility, ambulation, and coordinated care. RCC implementation occurred in a staggered fashion between October 2011 and November 2012. We measured implementation metrics based on electronic medical record data and evaluated the impact of implementation on mortality with multivariable regression models. We evaluated 24,886 first ICU episodes in 19,872 patients. After implementation, some process metrics (e.g., ventilation start and stop times) were achieved at high rates while others (e.g., ambulation distance), available late in the study period, showed steep increases in compliance. Unadjusted mortality decreased from 12.3% to 10.9% (p-value<0.01) before and after implementation, respectively. The adjusted odds ratio for hospital mortality after implementation was 0.85 (95% confidence interval, 0.73–0.99) and for thirty-day mortality was 0.88 (95% CI, 0.80–0.97) compared with before implementation. However, the mortality rate trends were not significantly different before and after RCC implementation. The mean duration of mechanical ventilation and hospital stay also did not demonstrate incrementally greater declines after implementation. RCC implementation was associated with changes in practice and a 12% to 15% reduction in the odds of short-term mortality. However, these findings may represent an evaluation of changes in practices and outcomes still in the mid-implementation phase and cannot be directly attributed to the elements of bundle implementation.
