Quarterly Publication Consultation on the Proposed New Accident & Emergency Publication The following document outlines the proposed changes to the Accident & Emergency (A&E) quarterly publication. This consultation will be for the period 7th September to 19th October 2012. The aim is to allow as many stakeholders as possible to comment or contribute towards the proposals. The main reasons for carrying out these changes are to develop the usability of the output and improve the clarity of A&E information. There are several key notes about A&E data that impact on how they are reported and presented which will be included in future reports. These include information on the type of data being collected, type of attendance recorded, and the type of site. Type of Data There are two types of data submitted to the A&E data mart; episode level and aggregate level data. The larger hospitals generally submit episode level data containing a detailed record for each attendance. Some smaller sites only submit aggregated data as they do not have the information systems and support to enable collection of detailed patient based information. The aggregated data consists of total monthly attendances with figures for any breaches to the 4 hour standard. The majority of the publication focuses on episode level information. <Statistics on the latest ratio of episode level data to aggregate data to be inserted here> Type of Attendance Accident & Emergency data are made up of four types of attendances – new, unplanned returns, planned returns, and recalls. Only sites that provide episode level data can distinguish between these categories. A new attendance is the first or only attendance; a return attendance is a repeat visit to the same department for the same incident/condition as the first visit (planned - where a patient is given an appointment to return, unplanned - where a patient returns unexpectedly in connection with the original complaint); a recall attendance is when the patient is asked to return to the department (due to unexpected test results for example).This publication only reports on new and unplanned returns in keeping with national policy. Only around 1.4% of attendances are planned returns or recalls. Type of Site Under current publications, sites are split into two groups: Emergency Departments (ED) - sites that provide a 24 hour, consultant in emergency medicine led service Minor Injuries Unit (MIU) / other - small hospitals and health centres in rural areas that carry out emergency care activity and are GP or Nurse led. They may or may not be open 24 hours. There is the potential to split the type of site differently in future, given that some MIU sites have a substantial number of attendances. The proposal is to split sites into: Emergency Departments (ED) Minor Injuries Unit (MIU) – over a certain size (to be defined by the consultation – ISD would welcome suggestions on this) Remaining Sites The majority of Emergency Departments and some Minor Injuries Units are included in the T10 HEAT target. This is a target to reduce attendances. A list of sites included in the T10 HEAT target is on the website. Proposed Documents The proposal is to split the publication into four sections, plus an overall report. Each section will be presented in a separate Excel spreadsheet. In each spreadsheet there will be a number of tabs including contents and relevant notes, details on all sites, and various graphs and tables relating to the topic area. They are: (1) Attendance Trends & Rates – looking at overall attendances and breaches with some data at aggregate level. (2) Referrals, Arrival Modes & Breach Reasons – looking at the percentage breakdowns of where patients have been referred from, how did they get to A&E, and reasons for time spent in the department exceeding the 4 hour standard. This is only on sites that provide episode level data. (3) Compliance & Comparison – looking at the performance over the last four months against the 4 hour standard, the change in attendance rates, length of time in the department, time to first assessment, and time of arrivals. This is only on sites that provide episode level data (4) T10 HEAT Target to Reduce Attendances – this only contains data on those sites that are part of the T10 HEAT target. It looks at the current trend, a 12 month moving average, and trajectory to meet the target. There is also comparison of attendance rates (5) Report – this will be determined by the contents and layout of the published tables and graphs. Essentially it will be broken down the same way as above, providing graphical information alongside some commentary and background information. There will be links from the report to the data documents for further breakdowns and graphs. Contribution Further detail on each section is given below, as well as proposed data breakdowns. If you have any questions or comments about the proposal please contact: [email protected] Consider - Does this provide the information that you would find useful - The breakdowns, specifically around the site type i.e. MIU over a certain size - Are there additional things you would like to see, and why? - Are there things you would not like to see included, and why?

  • Integration Joint Board 13Th September 2018 Mental Welfare Commission Themed Visit to People with Dementia in Community Hospital
    Integration Joint Board 13th September 2018 Subject: Mental Welfare Commission Themed Visit to people with dementia in Community Hospitals Purpose: To provide an update as to the feedback from the Mental Welfare Commission (MWC) on their announced inspection visits to people with dementia in community hospitals, highlighting areas of good practice noted and recommendations made for areas of required improvement. Recommendation: Integrated Joint Board (IJB) members to please note the content of the report and consider the implementation of the supporting action plan which has been developed in response to the recommendations of the above noted report. Glossary of Terms AWI Adults with Incapacity IJB Integration Joint Board HSCP Health & Social Care Partnership MWC Mental Welfare Commission NHSAA NHS Ayrshire & Arran 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 In May 2018 the MWC for Scotland published the “Visiting and monitoring report: Themed Visit to people with dementia in community hospitals” (Appendix 1). The report provides a picture of the experience of patients and carers in community hospitals across Scotland and contains twelve recommendations for IJB’s around improving the care provided within community hospitals, whilst also highlighting areas of good practice. 1.2 Community Hospital Ward Environments: Although ward environments visited were generally found to be clean and in good decorative order, the findings of the report were that more work could be done to make environments more dementia friendly. Furthermore, although there was a strong focus on physical rehabilitation within ward environments, the overall picture was of very limited meaningful and stimulating activity for people with dementia. Wards areas that had access to specialist dementia services and/or a dementia champion were found to display clear benefits in terms of supporting the development of good practice in dementia care.

  • NHS Highland Board November 2019 Item 6 CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND
    NHS Highland Board November 2019 Item 6 CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTORS REPORT – EMERGING ISSUES AND UPDATES Report by Iain Stewart, Chief Executive The Board is asked to: • Note the updates provided in the report. Introduction from CEO The engagement strategy which is helping to shape the ‘Culture Fit for the Future’ has been moving ahead. Fiona Hogg will be giving a detailed update on our progress with our Culture Programme later in the agenda. I am pleased with the progress which is being made, it’s a long-term piece of work which needs careful research and planning to make sure we understand the problems we need to address. There are some key milestones being achieved and presented at this Board meeting. A governance structure is in place and our revised plans are ready to be agreed and rolled out. Many of the actions planned have been shaped by our ongoing engagement with the Board and with our colleagues across North Highland and Argyll & Bute and I’m delighted that our impending review in Argyll & Bute is going to provide further valuable insights and information. In terms of the cost improvement programme, we continue to make good progress, with the current level of identified opportunities valued at £29M which when adjusted for the likelihood of delivery reduces to £22M. Of particular note is that 80% of the forecast savings are recurrent so the savings gain will benefit future financial years. Workstreams are ensuring the remaining plans in this financial year are approved, that ideas are progressed to plans and that changes already implemented go on to deliver the expected savings.
