Reducing Pressure Ulcers in the Extended Primary Care


Service

Eirlys Evans, Deputy Director of Nursing


Dr Kate Corlett, Associate Medical Director-Primary Care
Community Health Newham

Background
Pressure ulcers can cause serious harm and severe pain to
patients
Particular challenge for community services compared to
inpatient services
Between Feb 2014 and Jan 2015 there were 174 grade 2-4
pressure ulcers acquired in the Trusts care. This equates to a
minimum cost of 1.4 million to the NHS.
AIM:
To reduce grade 3-4 pressure ulcers acquired and attributable in the EPCS by 25%
by December 2015
To reduce grade 2 pressure ulcer acquired and attributable in the EPCS by 25% by
December 2015

Waterlow Assessment
Currently testing change ideas in two teams (NE and NW) to
improve reliability of this process
Mean reliability has increased from 57% to 72% for the entire
EPCT
Further improvements expected as new ideas spread to entire
service

NE team tests new

Clinical Management of Pressure


Ulcers
Testing RAG rating clinical management meeting as a way of
improving management of those with pressure ulcers.
Some signals that this may be having a beneficial effect.
Currently testing this in other teams in the EPCS

Clinical
management
meeting fully
embedded

Caseload Management
Remains one of the largest underlying problems that may be
impacting on pressure ulcers
Wide body of work to cleanse caseload underway. Caseload
has dropped from 6,037 open cases in June 2014 to 4,239 in
January 2015
Change ideas and tests now been developed to ensure
caseload is better controlled

Our Progress
Grade 3-4 Pressure Ulcers Acquired in EPCT

Grade 2 Pressure Ulcers Acquired in EPCT

No overall change
in the mean
number of grade
3-4 acquired
pressure ulcers
50% reduction in
the mean
number of grade
2 acquired
pressure ulcers

Next Steps
More accurate baseline and improved reporting
Whole systems approach to prevention of pressure ulcers
across Newham
Implementing new PDSAs e.g. case management
Benchmarking partners
Revise QI aim for 2015

Missed Doses
Project Leads: Maureen Brown &
Zahra Khaki
Project Team: Dr Nodira Nasritdinova, Patrick Watson,
Gordon Mackenzie, Madanha Mwaramba, Wolowiec
Teresa, Steve Skinner

Background

A systematic literature review reported dose omissions are a common administration


error (Keers, 2013) and omitted and delayed doses are one of the most frequent causes
of medication incidents reported to the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) (Cousins
et al., 2011). The NPSA proposes a staged approach to defining locally agreed critical
medicines and developing systems to improve and audit the timeliness of
administration (NPSA 2010).

Many patients on Butterfield Ward have chronic physical health conditions as well as
severe and enduring mental health problems. In order to improve the patients
opportunity for recovery and improve physical health we need to ensure that the
treatment plan is followed and can be robustly evaluated.

Individuals with severe and enduring mental health problems have a reduced life span
of about 20 years (Newman & Bland 1991, Brown et al. 2010) compared to the general
population; ensuring they receive the right treatment could aid in bridging health
inequalities.

Project Aim

Reduce missed doses of medication to


meet the Trust standard of less than
4% for non-critical medicines and 0%
for critical medicines by April 2015.

Learning
The project has raised the profile of
medication errors (missed doses) among
staff and service users on the ward. This
has resulted in improved quality of care,
through reduced error rates as evidenced
by the data we have collected over the
past few months.

QI Tips from Butterfield Ward


Planning clinicians are keen to get doing but careful planning of how is
crucial to a successful project, as well as what to measure and actually
measuring it.
Change ideas these are exciting but must be aligned with measures to
establish if they result in real change
Communication the project team require regular meetings to ensure work
is being co-ordinated, and data can be scrutinised so the team respond in
real time
Engagement project work needs to become business as usual, so staff need
to believe it is meaningful if it is going to be a priority in practice: QI ideas
that come from frontline staff are the ones that will be embraced most easily
Improvement has been demonstrated easily, with very little financial
investment from the service. Improving the quality of care provided and
reducing harm has proved an extremely rewarding experience for ward staff
and patients!

Areas for Improvement

Ward Round
I am given the opportunity to raise issues that matter
to me in ward round: Average response = 5/10
I can influence the decisions made about my care in
ward round: Average response = 4/10
I am happy with how often I see my consultant:
Average response = 3/10

Care Planning
I understand my care plan: Average response = 6/10
My care plan reflects my needs: Average response = 5/10
My care plan is helpful as a plan for my recovery: Average
response = 5/10

time. The young people are less pressured than when seen
in front of the ward round group. The only problem of
course, is making sure I am free every Monday and

Challenges:
Is feeling misunderstood an unavoidable part of
adolescence?!
Admission to an inpatient unit may in itself make
young people feel they have not been listened to or
understood.
Discharge biases
It is difficult to meet regularly and gather momentum
with staff working on shift patterns and on wards that
are hard to leave for meetings.

Learning
Data is a good way to evidence the need for change,
especially when trying to get other team members involved.
It takes time to gather meaningful levels of data.
Recording data on a database is key!
The challenges associated with a QI team made up of
different disciplines on different work schedules are
outweighed by the benefits of having experience, input and a
task force covering the breadth and depth of your service.

Learning points
QI is a very useful tool to bring about changes if owned

by the team
In this case it improved quality of care significantly
Provided thinking and learning space
Need for perseverance and commitment
Meeting regularly (if possible weekly, however difficult)
IS THE KEY
We struggled with admin-related things and actual
regular in-putting data electronically in the QI-website
Enjoying the process and getting the whole team to be
enthusiastic about it!

What works to improve the quality


of patient care?
Martin Marshall
Professor of Healthcare Improvement, University College London
Lead, Improvement Science London

East London NHS Foundation Trust QI Conference


10th March 2015

Most of the
people who work
in the NHS are
only half-trained

What works?

Getting the strategy right


Planning carefully
Creating a conducive environment
Delivery, delivery, delivery

Recognising that there are many


different ways to improve quality
Health system
Clinical teams
Education and training
Clinical audit
Peer review/ collaboration
Guidelines

Performance management
Regulation
Incentives/sanctions
Competition
Commissioning

Organisations
Org. development
TQM/CQI, BPR,
PDSA, Lean, 6 sigma

Aligning change strategies to the nature


of the task

Avoiding the temptation to focus on


structural change

BMJ, 2002

What works?
Getting the strategy right

Planning carefully
Creating a conducive environment
Delivery, delivery, delivery

Putting in a lot of effort at the planning stage


Convincing people that there
is a problem
Demonstrating to them that
the problem is actionable and
engaging them in finding
workable solutions
Helping them to see that
addressing the problem
should be a priority

Aiming for a balance between internal


and external facilitators of change
Quality improvement collaborative
in Newham general practice:
Internal

External

Professional desire to improve


patient care
Professional desire to develop
new knowledge and skills
Creation of a conducive learning
environment

Link to contractual obligations


Align to CPD imperatives
Financial incentives

Thinking about embedding, spreading and


sustaining improvement from an early stage

Linked into existing health and social care services


Used established staff to provide services and provided training for them

Incorporated into commissioning strategy

Remembering that all efforts to improve


have unintended consequences

What works?
Getting the strategy right
Planning carefully

Creating a conducive
environment
Delivery, delivery, delivery

Remembering that improvement requires


more than just an effective intervention

Intervention

Implementation

Context

Recognising that culture is important and


changing it is difficult
Working with general practices in
East London:
Minimal infrastructure to support QI
activities
High level of autonomy and
independent working practices
Time is precious
Strong small business ethic
Regular weekly meetings of most
practices
Pride in achieving targets

Adopting a whole systems approach to


change

Sources of behaviour
Intervention functions
Policy categories

perhaps we could be a little more explicit here at step two

Our quality
improvement programme

The strategic case for change


Make quality our
absolute priority
Improving
quality of care
is our core
purpose
Of greatest
importance to
all our
stakeholders

focus on a
more
compassionate,
caring service
with patients
first and
foremost

More
structured and
bottom-up
approach to
improvement

Enable our staff


to lead change
The desire to
engage, free
and support
our staff to
innovate and
drive change
Engaged and
motivated staff
leads to
improved
patient
outcomes

The economic
climate
The need to do
more with less
improving
quality whilst
reducing cost

The culture we want to nurture


A listening and learning
organisation

Empowering staff to
drive improvement

Patients, carers
and families at
the heart of all
we do
