REPORT TO THE STAFFORD & SURROUNDS CONFIDENTIAL Governing Body Meeting
TO BE HELD ON: Tuesday 17th FEBRUARY 2015
Subject: Quality Report
PURPOSE OF THE REPORT:
To update the Governing Board on the quality and safety issues reported at the Clinical Quality Review Meetings (CQRMs)
KEY POINTS:
1. The level of concern for the County site is AMBER RED due to a period of deteriorating A&E performance which has since recovered. There were no Trolley breaches reported. However, the local economy is under pressure. There is still a concerning level of nurse vacancies although this is being mitigated with bank and agency staff some of whom are now to be offered interim contracts. Ward fill rates are being met. SAS CCG has made two unannounced visits pre and post the transfer of services. The Trust is to provide the CCG with weekly assurance on staffing and the CCG have escalated the issue of the cancellation of three consecutive Internal Quality Committees.
2. The level of concern for the RSUH site for this month is rated at RED due to escalating concerns from consistently poor deteriorating A&E performance and the highest number of trolley breaches in the country. A summit meeting was held by NHSE and actions agreed to improve performance and mitigate any risks to patients. The Trust continues to be monitored closely by the lead commissioners and is making every effort to address particular flow issues.
3. The level of concern for SSOTPT is rated at GREEN as there are no major quality or safety
concerns at this time.
4. .The level of concern for SSSFT is rated at GREEN as there are no major quality or safety concerns at this time.
5. The level of concern for BHT is rated at AMBER to reflect that the Trust remain sin special
measures. The Trust has reported a Never event and has exceeded the trajectory for C Diff
Item No: Enc:
cases however only on case was found to be avoidable
6. The level of concern for RWT is rated at AMBER reflecting the issues relating to the problems in meeting referral to treatment times and the waits for cancer treatment which are under close scrutiny by the CCG.
7. The level of concern for WHT is rated at AMBER to reflect the fact that the Trust is struggling to meet its cancer targets and has also reported a Never Event.
Relevance to Key Goals A 10% reduction the levels of obesity against the expected prevalence
Commissioning for quality will enable the CCG to put  in place exemplary systems for commissioning 
intentions and provider performance management   that will deliver its Key Goals
A reduction in the proportion of people with undiagnosed disease from 30 – 10 %. A “levelling up” of health outcomes so that all residents experience the same health care outcomes A reduction in excess winter deaths of 50% A reduction in unplanned admissions to hospital for people with Long Term Conditions of 50%
Implications
Legal and/or Risk Enable the CCG to meet its statutory responsibilities for commissioning quality; reduce and mitigate risks to the organisation and to patients.
CQC Enable the CCG to meet commissioner responsibilities for CQC Essential Standards for Health including that providers have up to date registration with the CQC.
Patient Safety Integral element of the Quality Strategy which describes the systems that will be deployed to “keep patients safe.”
Patient Engagement Integral element of the Quality Strategy which describes how the CCG will use patient engagement and experience to form the intelligence essential for effective and safe commissioning
Financial Following the baseline assessment of the CCG structure, systems and processes there maybe implications for additional funding.
Sustainability A three year plan which will be refreshed on an annual basis through the annual Quality Improvement Plan
Workforce / Training Organisational Development Plan for the CCG is in place to develop members, staff and leadership.
Item No: Enc:
RECOMMENDATIONS / ACTION REQUIRED:
The SAS CCG Governing Board is asked to: Note the key quality and safety issues in the report and actions taken to improve quality and reduce risk.

A previous review of trolley breaches which occurred in September identified that there was a higher than expected  number of admissions which impacted on the availability of cubicles in A&E.    A contract query has been raised in November 2014 against the low performance in A & E.    Root Cause Analysis (RCA's) were undertaken for all events which  identified that there was a high demand for side  rooms due to increased numbers of patients attending with infection control issues and a reduction in the numbers  of beds available due to wards being closed both internally and within the Community, again due to infection control  issues. Actions were identified as follows:    Review of escalation plan  to be undertaken  Infection control processes  to be  reviewed  to  include  side  room 
audits, protocol for the cohorting of patients and infection control presence at daily bed meetings.  The RCA's will be presented to the Trust's Quality & Safety Forum and the Serious Incident Panel.  A Quality summit was held in December with the NTDA, with a further summit is being scheduled for January 15.    CCGs are currently in the process of producing an internal process/flowchart for the management of RCAs following  trolley breaches to provide staff on with clarity around this process. UHNM have provided their internal audit results  on this process to the December CQRM which will be incorporated within the CCG internal process.    Unannounced Visit on 6th January to UHNM   An unannounced visit was made to A&E by the lead commissioners.  Although the A&E was busy, it was evident that  patients The staff felt supported by the Trust in regards solutions following escalation and patients praised the staff  in A & E.    It was  noted  that  staff  sickness  had  increased  over  December  and  January;  however,  this was  anticipated  and  managed.  Patient numbers and acuity are reviewed by the Director of Nursing and Associate Chief Nurses. Staffing  ratios are adjusted accordingly to maintain 96% of planned staffing.

  Hospices  MAIN ISSUES FOR PROVIDER
  A Hospice CQRM was held in December 2014. Our Hospices provide interesting and useful reports however the style  and approach varies considerable. Commissioners have provided hospices with a suggested dashboard and report  summary framework. Hospices will be piloting these in Q3 14/15 and using for Q4 onwards.  Hospices have been given a simple template to use to report clinical incidents that arise in other providers.    Medication supplier changes  Hospices remain concerned that the changes to the wholesale supplier licencing system for controlled drugs will  have an adverse impact on quality. Examples given were that out of hours urgently needed pain relief medication  might take several hours to be delivered for example from Birmingham. Hospices were concerned that once existing  contracts with supplier expire there may be a cost pressure. This has been escalated to Area Team previously and  one of the hospices has noted that it is a national issue.    DNAR (Do Not Attempt Resuscitation)  Katherine House Hospice commented that it experiences difficulties with sharing Do Not Attempt Resuscitation  (DNAR) Orders with GPs in the Stafford Area. This Hospice uses its own paperwork which complies with national  guidelines. Other hospices are not reporting similar problems.  All hospices confirmed that they had completed nationally recommended medicines security audits (developed in  response to serious incidents in Stockport) and there were no outstanding shortfalls.  St Giles Hospice raised the issue that District nurses are the key workers for end of life services but they receive a  significant number of referrals for patients who ae not on a district nursing case load. The CCG has requested further  information around this.    The next Hospice CQRM meeting will focus on Children’s hospice services and on end of life care plans.
