#UCLPQF
From ‘special measures’ to ‘good’ Clare Panniker CEO
It started here….
• 10 year old girl died due to failings
• 50% of staff wouldn’t recommend the hospital for family or friends
• It required visible leadership where we listened
• Care and compassion in the heart of everything we do
Patient stories were the catalyst for ‘act one’
Culture change • Honesty and transparency
• Approachable and available to staff, politicians and patients
Outcomes – improved quality and moraleTimely up to date data is key
Cardiac arrest reduction
Decreased mortality Staff mini survey shows month on month Improvement and staff now recommend BTUH for friends and family
It was exhausting but we have improved, but the journey has only just begun…. ‘act two’
Our next challenge
Giles Thorpe, RN MScDeputy Director of Clinical Governance
Clinical Governance at BTUH
It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.” ―Ursula K. Le Guin
Serious Incident Management at BTUH
• Historical incident management at BTUH evidenced low reporting numbers and high gradings of harm (2011/2012)
• Outcome 16: Concerns and Notices– (2010) - There are concerns that the trust is identifying what constitutes a serious
untoward incident as there were three recent incidents fitting the criteria which were reportedto the National Patient Safety Agency but not raised or investigated as a serious incident
– (2013) - The trust did not have a system in place to identify trends in incidents. Wefound 1300 incidents not closed. We looked at two recent serious incidents, it was not clearif specialist advisers had been consulted as part of the investigation. By failing to properlyinvestigate incidents there is a significant risk that the trust was missing opportunities toidentify common themes and put actions in place to reduce the risk of them recurring.
• Organisation wide cultural shift to true understanding the importance of incident reporting for all staff– Non clinical– Non nursing– Senior staff
• Blame culture to be minimised
• Accountability and responsibility to be understood and shared across all Clinical and Corporate Divisions
• Dedicated resource to focus on systems and processes
What needed to happen
First wave quality improvement
• Mandatory training in Incident Managementand Risk Assessment – ALL STAFF
• Bespoke Investigation Officer and Risk Management Training developed
• Divisional ownership of all areas of incident management– Performance Management framework– Bespoke liaison with Corporate Team members– High visibility/Maximum Impact interactions
Second wave quality improvement
• Development of Quality Assurance to provide accurate grading of reports (subjectivity)– Corporately– Divisionally
• Managing increased reporting with increased number of SIs– Externally mandated SI reporting (Falls resulting in fracture/HI)
– Enhanced understanding organisationally
• Developing trend analysis– SI groupings– Incident trends
Third Wave Quality Improvement
• Further refinement of SI process (Lvl 0/1/2 SIs) -
• Enhance the process of Duty of Candour compliance in line with NHS Standard Contract (2014/15) and proposed legislation
• Development of training for wider staffing groups for IO roles within the Trust
• Devolvement of Quality Assurance function to Clinical Divisions (as per Divisional maturity)
First & Second stage completion (13 months)
“Raise your quality standards as high as you can live with, avoid wasting your time on routine problems and always try to work as closely as possible at the boundary of your abilities.
Do this, because it is the only way of discovering how that boundary should be moved forward.”
―Edsger W. Dijkstra

Making Improvement Happen to Turn Around Our Service at BTUH
Alarm raised: Serious Clinical Incidents
• Series of failures leading to death of a child– medication errors, medication out of date– Delay in escalation– Lack of senior medical presence– Lack of nursing leadership– Poor systems and processes– Poor working relationships
• Lack of senior attention and visibility within the division• Culture
• November 2012-January 2013• Diagnostics of the problem• Whole system approach• Real time changes
– Nursing– Medical– Management
• Governance systems• Corporate support,
responsibility and accountability

Sepsis: what’s the big deal?
36
Sepsis: what’s the big deal?• Organisations need to develop care pathways
• Places outside hospital should ensure staff are trained
• Resources should be allocated
• Sepsis should be included on risk registers
• Improvement work should be supported
• CCGs should commission streamlined care
• Data should be collected on incidence / tx on regional basis
• Guidelines should be developed for coding
• Boards should monitor trends in incidence and care quality
• Professional and academic bodies should assess their
provision of education
37
Sepsis: what’s the big deal?
• NHS England: 8 lives to be saved per 100.00 with Sepsis 6
• CQUIN
• JDI: coding
• New definitions, markers from ESICM / SCCM
• more judicious antibiotic therapy

We can beat this!
