Peter J. Pronovost, MD, Phd Peter Pronovost, MD
Peter J. Pronovost, MD, PhD Peter Pronovost, MD, PhD, is a practicing anesthesiologist, critical care physician, professor, director of the Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality, and senior vice president for patient safety and quality at Johns Hopkins Medicine. Dr. Pronovost developed a scientifically proven method that has virtually eliminated deadly infections associated with central line catheters. This simple, but effective, checklist has saved 1,500 lives and $100 million annually across Michigan. The checklist protocol is now being implemented across the United States and has helped reduce catheter-related infections by 60 percent. Several other countries are also implementing this program. Dr. Pronovost has chronicled his work helping improve patient safety in his new book, Safe Patients, Smart Hospitals: How One Doctor’s Checklist Can Help Us Change Health Care from the Inside Out. In addition, he has published more than 400 articles related to patient safety and the measurement and evaluation of safety efforts. He serves in an advisory capacity to the World Health Organizations’ World Alliance for Patient Safety, and is the winner of several national awards, including the 2004 John Eisenberg Patient Safety Research Award and a coveted MacArthur Fellowship in 2008. He also was named by Time magazine as one of the world’s 100 most influential people for his work in patient safety. Dr. Pronovost regularly addresses Congress on the importance of patient safety, which has resulted in a report by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to strongly endorse his intensive care unit infection prevention program.

Zoom on Profile: Peter J. Pronovost, MD, PhD, FCCM Prof. Peter Pronovost, MD, PhD, FCCM ICU Management & Practice Editorial Board Member ******@***jhmi.edu Director - Armstrong institute for Patient Safety and Quality Senior Vice President, Patient Safety and Quality - Johns Hopkins Medicine Twitter Dr. Peter Pronovost is a world-renowned patient safety champion, critical care physician, a prolific researcher, publishing over 800 peer review publications, and a global thought leader, informing US and global health policy. His scientific work leveraging checklists to reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections has saved thousands of lives and earned him high-profile accolades, including being named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time Magazine, receiving a coveted MacArthur Foundation “genius grant” in 2008, and regularly recognised as one of the most influential executives and physician executives in healthcare. The life-saving intervention has been implemented state by state across the U.S. Today, these catheter infections that used to kill as many people as breast or prostate cancer, have been reduced by 80% compared to 1999 before the “To Err is Human” report was published. After demonstrating the ability to eliminate one harm in most health systems, Dr. Pronovost sought to eliminate all harms in one health system, Johns Hopkins. Toward that goal, Dr. Pronovost served the Johns Hopkins Medicine Senior Vice President for Patient Safety and Quality and the founder and director of the Johns Hopkins Medicine Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality. The Institute coordinates research, training and operations for patient safety and quality across JHM, bringing together over 18 different disciplines from every school and division of the university.

The Hospital Checklist: How Social Science Insights Improve Health Care Outcomes
FROM RESEARCH TO REWARD: A NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES SERIES ABOUT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY AND HUMAN BENEFIT The Hospital Checklist: How Social Science Insights Improve Health Care Outcomes A central venous catheter is, in many ways, an amazing medical innovation— but it took insights from the social sciences, not the medical sciences, to make it safe to use. The catheter, known informally as a central line, is a narrow tube inserted into a large vein, which allows doctors to deliver drugs and fluids rapidly to a patient in the intensive care unit, where every minute counts. But central lines can get infected, and when that happens, they can be conduits for bacteria or fungi to go straight into the bloodstream, causing sepsis, organ failure, and even death. Physicians have long considered lethal infections to be an inevitable risk of central lines. But these are not small risks. According to surgeon and author Atul Gawande, about 4 percent of central venous catheters become infected every year, involving about 80,000 patients.1 These infections, he writes, are expensive to treat and are fatal up to 28 percent of the time, “depending on how sick one is at the start.” If an innovation could be found to lower those rates, the impact on both quality of life and health care costs would be huge. It would also represent a significant step in medical progress—and, just possibly, in non-medical settings as well. Peter Pronovost, a critical-care specialist at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, thought of central line infections not as an inevitable risk but as a problem to be solved.2 In the early 2000s it occurred to him that if just a few steps were followed every time a central line was inserted, the prevailing narrative about central line infections could be changed from “these infections are inevitable” to “they can and must be prevented.” Changing the prevailing narrative, though, would mean sparking a cultural shift in the ICU.

Life-Saving Checklists
The Surgeon’s Guide to LIFE-SAVING CHECKLISTS www.transonic.com To err is human, but at what cost? Surgery is intended to help patients, not harm them. “First, do no harm,” is the bedrock of medical ethics. Global surgical volume now exceeds 300 million procedures annually, Americans undergo an average of seven operations in their lifetime. We continue to have more than 150,000 deaths following surgery every year in the United States—more than three times the number of road traffic fatalities.1 Complications after inpatient surgery occur in 3-17% of patients, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).2 Surgery is indeed risky. WHO reports that current estimates of morbidity and mortality following surgery indicate that over 7 million people worldwide will suffer complications following surgery, and 1 million of these people will die as a result.2 How can these alarming statistics be improved? One way that has been introduced within the last decade is the use of safety checklists, notably WHO’s Surgical Safety Checklist. 1 The Surgeon’s Guide to Life-Saving Checklists The Impact of Checklists From our personal shopping list for groceries to our list of chores, from work instructions for every small task in a manufacturing process to safety checklists and care plans for clients and patients, checklists seem to exist everywhere—at home, in our offices and workplaces. Our lives are now governed by checklists. They help us remember each detail of what we want or should do. They help us avert inadvertent memory lapses. They prevent error. Admittedly, it is one thing to forget a grocery item at the store, but it is altogether another to leave a sponge in a patient in the operating room.

Anesthesiology 2004; 100:216–7 © 2004 American Society of Anesthesiologists, Inc. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc. Peter J. Pronovost, M.D., Ph.D. Recipient of the 2003 Presidential Scholar Award John A. Ulatowski, M.D., Ph.D., M.B.A. The end of the twentieth century gave healthcare work- ers the opportunity to look back on 100 years of tremen- dous advances in medicine. However, our work is far from complete, as we are reminded by the 1999 report of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, Downloaded from http://pubs.asahq.org/anesthesiology/article-pdf/100/2/216/353572/0000542-200402000-00006.pdf by guest on 27 September 2021 Washington, D.C. “To err is human” makes plain a task still ahead: to reduce medical errors and prevent signif- icant morbidity and mortality. The Institute of Medicine lauded anesthesiology as a specialty that has led the way in patient safety. Anesthesiologists have a long and note- worthy commitment to patient safety, primarily in the operating room, through the use of high-tech monitoring and improved anesthetic techniques and medications. At the inauguration of the Presidential Scholar Award, dur- ing the American Society of Anesthesiologists annual meeting in October 2003, Dr. James Cottrell, M.D. (Pro- fessor and Chairperson, Department of Anesthesiology, State University of New York Health Science Center, Brooklyn, New York), challenges all of us when he cites Maxwell De Pree (author and Chairman Emeritus, Her- Peter J.
