Care Homes in Scotland” published on 28 October 2020. The following revisions have taken place: • Further quality assurance of the data used in this report, which has resulted in 6 discharges (3 individuals) being removed from the analysis. This is because these discharges were later identified as not being to a care home. All statistics, tables and charts have been updated in the report to reflect this change. This means there are now 5,198 discharges in the underlying data-set, rather than 5,204 previously. This does not impact on the main conclusions from the original report. • The statistical modelling part of section 2 (which analyses the risk of care home outbreaks associated with hospital discharge) has been updated following feedback from users and the Office for Statistics Regulation. We have included additional visuals and commentary relating to the interpretation of the results to provide greater clarity on our findings. • Section 3 has been added. Since the publication of the original report in October 2020, further analysis has been performed to explore specific aspects in detail including: • classification of discharges based on pre-hospital residency (where people lived before they were admitted to hospital); • analysis of the outcomes within 30 days of hospital discharge (all-cause mortality, COVID-19 mortality and COVID-19 infection) of all those who were discharged; • and analysis of those individuals whose last positive test before discharge was positive (including relationship with care home outbreaks). • Collaboration with the Public Health Microbiology Team within Public Health Scotland enabling the clinical data on people whose last positive test before discharge was positive to be combined with viral genomic sequencing data (where available). The genomic data has allowed analysis of the specific samples of those discharged from hospital and the samples from the care home they were discharged-to, to be compared to understand more about patterns of infection transmission and relationships between hospital

  • 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.
