REPORT FOR Trust Board of Directors – Public
REPORT FROM Peter Reading, Chief Executive Kathryn Helley, Deputy Chief Operating Officer – Improvement and Productivity Claire Pacey, Improvement Director, NHSI
CONTACT OFFICER Kathryn Helley, Deputy Chief Operating Officer – Improvement and Productivity
SUBJECT Improving Together Stocktake
BACKGROUND DOCUMENT (IF ANY) CQC Report
PURPOSE OF THE REPORT: To provide an update on the outcome of the Improving Together Programme Stocktake
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (PLEASE INCLUDE: A SUMMARY OF THE REPORT, KEY POINTS & / OR ANY RISKS WHICH NEED TO BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE TRUST BOARD AND ANY MITIGATING ACTIONS, WHERE APPROPRIATE)
The Improving Together Programme was established in early 2017 in order to bring together disparate but inter-related pieces of improvement work across the trust. It incorporated, at that time, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) action plan (including waiting lists) and the existing sustainability programme which was finance focused. The programme was reviewed in August 2017 by Ernst and Young and some changes were made to the workstreams and reporting mechanisms. Several of the current executives were not in post when the programme was originally set up and the trust was placed into financial and quality special measures after the programme was established. It was therefore timely to undertake a stocktake of the programme and the attached paper outlines the outcome of this review.
TRUST BOARD ACTION REQUIRED The Trust Board is asked to note the content of the report.

Improving Together Programme Stocktake
Introduction and Purpose
The Improving Together Programme was established in early 2017 in order to bring together disparate but inter-related pieces of improvement work across the trust. It incorporated, at that time, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) action plan (including waiting lists) and the existing sustainability programme which was finance focused. The programme was reviewed in August 2017 by Ernst and Young and some changes were made to the workstreams and reporting mechanisms. Several of the current executives were not in post when the programme was originally set up and the trust was placed into financial and quality special measures after the programme was established. It was therefore timely to undertake a stocktake of the programme and the following outcomes were agreed:
1. Collective understanding and agreement about the purpose and function of the Improving Together Programme
2. Agreed and defined workstreams with owners 3. Agreed governance and reporting arrangements and clear understanding of the difference
between ‘business as usual’ (BAU) and programme work (see Appendix 1)
4. Joint understanding and agreement around support structures and enablers.
The following sections provide an overview of the discussions and agreements reached during the stocktake session.
1. Purpose and function of Improving Together • Extra support/focus/effort on agreed pieces of work • Programme approach • Transformation vehicle – rebuilding the organisation • Quality story/narrative – wider than CQC • Getting the basics right • Sustainability • Moving things to BAU – without this there is a capacity problem in the programme • Developing solutions bottom up • Improving Together Programme Board agrees priorities and provides a framework to
enable flexibility – the ability to turn things on and off (Appendix 2) • Human factors and impact on decision making • Collective agreement of closing projects – moving to BAU and agreeing where it is
monitored

2. Workstreams and Senior Responsible Officers (SROs)
The following workstreams and SROs/deputies were agreed:
• Quality and Safety – Kate Wood SRO, Tara Filby Deputy • Leadership and culture – Jayne Adamson SRO, Peter Reading Deputy • Access and flow – Shaun Stacey SRO, Pam Clipson Deputy • Finance (CIP and income improvement programmes) – Marcus Hassall SRO, Shaun
Stacey Deputy • Strategy and capital – SRO Pam Clipson, Peter Reading Deputy • Workforce and staffing – Shaun Stacey SRO, Jayne Adamson Deputy
3. Governance and reporting
• Improving Together programme board will remain monthly with reduced membership a. The board will be known as the Improving Together Executive Board (ITEB).
The board will be chaired by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and membership is the executive SROs, the Deputy Chief Operating Officer – improvement and productivity, Turnaround Director. In attendance is the Improvement Director, NHSI.
b. Reporting will be by exception c. ITEB reports to go to Trust Management Board (TMB) for information and
discussion d. ITEB reports directly to Trust Board
• It was agreed that the existing workstream oversight meetings would continue where needed. They would be reviewed once the trust performance meetings were set up and running.
• It was agreed that future reports needed to be a combination of numbers/facts and narrative to provide process and outcome information to support driving improvement.
• A 4 quadrant report was suggested that would: a. Facilitate gaining support/help from other SROs b. Provide assurance for the CEO in order to report to the trust board c. Include Gantt/run charts to make tracking progress easier and more visual
• It was agreed that a single version of the truth was essential. This would be a single data set in digital format with the ability to filter/interrogate the information. There would also be an agreed subset/dashboard for each workstream.
• It was agreed that the level 1 and 2 KPIs would stop and be replaced by the workstream dashboards.

4. Support structures and enablers • The Improvement Team was established in September 2017 and a programme of
recruitment took place during the early part of 2018 leading to a fully established team being in post from May 2018 and staff are aligned to the different workstreams within the programme (see Appendix 3). It was recognised that the team have supported the organisation over the last year to delivery some significant improvements, some of which are outlined in Appendix 4. The support to each workstream was reviewed and it was agreed that, with the exception of the staffing workstream, support was sufficient. It was agreed that the Deputy Chief Operating Officer – Improvement and Productivity, would review how additional project support could be provided which has led to a temporary movement of one member of the team from the Access and Flow workstream to Safe Staffing, with the approval of the SRO.
• Some workstreams may require some additional expertise/skills and the is outlined in Appendix 5. The exact nature of this support is currently being worked up with support from the NHSI Improvement Director.
• In addition to this, the Trust is receiving support from external bodies such as NHSI. It was agreed to review this support to ensure that it is targeted to the right areas. The Deputy Chief Operating Officer – Improvement and Productivity, is to meet with the Trust’s Improvement Director and Delivery Improvement Lead from NHSI and review current support.
5. Workstream Scopes • A review has taken place, with confirm and challenge from each of the SROs to identify
the key priorities which should be included in each of the workstreams, taking into account the issues identified within the CQC report. The output of this work is attached as Appendix 6.
6. Conclusions
The Improving Together programme has evolved over the past 12 months and continues to respond to the needs of the organisation. This will continue to be monitored to ensure that if Trust priorities change, this is reflected appropriately in the programme.
