11
November 2015: PRO parent feedback
“I thought it was great! I’ve never thought to ask those type of questions.” “It was a great distraction!” “I really didn't know how he truly felt about his face until he took it. So I have to say it opened my eyes to his insecurities. Thank you.”
12
BCH Experience: current status
Working on IT integration for clinical data Barriers to clinical data collection ▪ Infrastructure ▪ Financial ▪ Clinician time constraints and data entry fatigue ▪ Patient privacy and data security
13
What could be improved next time
Start smaller then grow bigger ▪ Essential outcomes measures Start low-tech, introduce high-tech strategies based on need ▪ Start earlier ▪ Save money

Parkinson's Disease Standard Set: The Aneurin Bevan University Health Board Experience
Adele Cahill Assistant Director (Procurement) Programme Implementation Manager
16
Aneurin Bevan University Health Board
Context One of 7 Health Boards in Wales An Integrated Health System Serves 700,000 population 14,000 staff 1300 Doctors and 300+ GPs
Turnover £1.2 Billion 17
WHY? Two key drivers for change: 1
National direction: Making Prudent Health care happen - Securing health and well being for future generations Clear priority to develop and use international outcomes based measures to inform and drive change
2 •
Local UHB strategic vision: To ensure Value in Health Care Allocating resources for the greatest benefit to patients across the whole system Maximising the opportunities an integrated health system provides Leading the way, with a culture to support this – a meeting of minds
18
The Journey - Key factors ALREADY ENGAGED Introduced to ICHOM via Director of Finance & Procurement
2014
2015
•
Participation in the Hip & Knee & Heart Failure Standard Set(s)
Capturing costing, various methodologies (TDAbc and PLCs)
April: Signed a Strategic Partnership Alliance with ICHOM
May : DoF/Medical Director signed up some willing staff with a real interest in making a difference to drive agenda forward (Triumvirate C/F/M)
June : Launched the Value programme within the UHB
June 2015: Agreed a pilot/proof of concept within Neurophysiology team
Oct : Go Live -standard set to measure outcomes in Parkinson’s 19
The Journey: Our Plan - Which Condition? Why? Why Parkinson’s? • Well circumscribed disease area • Managed in a limited number of clinical settings (1500 patients / 6 settings) • Potentially fewer logistical challenges as a starting point • Senior Clinicians wanting to participate somehow • Test in single clinic – NOT the whole pathway
Initial Aim/ Scope: • Test the use of the ICHOM Standard Set to measure outcomes (patient and clinician perspective(s) • Understand the IT solutions/challenges in doing so 20
The Journey: Our Plan – The phased implementation 1. June 2015: Project kick off 2. July – Sept 2015: Preparation Phase 3. Oct – Dec 2015: Go Live in DEV Environment - UAT 4. Jan - Feb 2016: Go Live in LIVE environment
5. March 2016: Start Small, Scale up and roll out
21
The Journey: (1) Project Kick Off Meeting
Reservations from Clinicians
Our promise/ input
Some clinical dialogue/engagement beforehand Senior Consultant Dr Church keen to understand more ……. BUT wanted long term commitment, not an audit or short termism wanted to understand impact on current work flow Clinical Nurse Specialist – sceptical Burden of measuring more - change for change sake Take time away from facing the patient - Tick box exercise BUT agreed that if this would improve the patient experience /outcomes we should ‘give it a go’.
Right amount of autonomy and freedom to act given by Executives. Be honest with our findings, support Give confidence in the solution Trust in delivering Positive approach Collaborative at every stage 22
The Journey: (2) Preparation Phase Process Mapping in pilot clinic: Exercise was simple and well received Capacity to provide support from a HCA was identified Burden on clinician minimal , many items routinely collected Majority of those not collected were to be reported by the patient
Solution
IT Assessment: PCs in clinic a HCA ability to use IT a Capability IT in waiting room x Three possible ways forwards
External provider
Internal Solution LOW TECH
Hybrid Approach
Engaged early with IT & Informatics One absolute! – MUST connect to PAS Used tablet, enabled a single API in waiting room for Wi-Fi access (Low cost !)
23
The Journey (3) – User Acceptance Testing
DEV Environment
Volume testing before putting into LIVE Environment Used period (4 wks) to get continuous feedback from patients Made changes / refined the form week after week E.g. size of text, terminology/language Used period to get continuous feedback from clinicians E.g. Dashboard setup – ‘So What!’
24
The Journey (4) LIVE (January ‘16) LIVE Environment
Audited data completion and storage of outcomes in warehouse Clinical Engagement – allowed us back week after week to keep testing Patient involvement – supported by Implementation manager, project support and HCA Weekly forum to capture and rectify any issues, Clinician, Nurse Specialist, IT and Implementation Manager. SOME FINDINGS Developing the E Form, more challenging than anticipated – perseverance of IT Third party involved from the IT side – hadn’t foreseen the challenges around pulling and pushing form HCA support – Not consistent, intermittent – fundamental to the success 25
BARRIERS: or OPPORTUNITIES?
IT (Always a challenge why should it be different this time?) Known Barriers
Other Barriers (Not expected) Observations
Our choice Confusion around which solution Confusion in the market around offerings, state of readiness! Burden of measurement
Restrictions with Clinic Environment Clinic Flow – Setting? HCA support Shared staffing Relationships - Patients, carers and family 26
SUCCESSES – It’s Working
Patients like it, feel involved. Peer to Peer conversations in the Waiting Room Burden of Measurement – Minimal – Positive feedback CNS Data informing and prioritising the clinical consultation Outcomes are feeding through into PAS and data warehouse, ability to start reporting (when time is right) Enabling Service Re-design – early changes impacting on patient experience. Further transformation of services – considering cohorting /MDTs
Patient +/- Carer arrives in clinic waiting room
Patient / Carer completes PROM’s on tablet
Other outcomes pulled from admin data
Pt seen by Dr who can r/v outcomes in real time 27
LESSONS LEARNT – Moving On We now have understanding of
Next time we would
Our next Steps in Parkinson’s
The work, commitment The concerns The restrictions Realistic around the challenges
Improve interaction between work and the Service Better understanding of the IT constraints, commit dedicated IT support Be realistic around capacity and timeframes
And beyond
Completed assessment in 5 more clinics Introducing costing IT is working – considering scalability? Service reviewing Service re-design and transformation – cohorting patients/Booking systems …. Becoming business as usual - Sustainability Any beyond Parkinson’s ……….. A plan to implement in a range of other conditions using both the ICHOM and other tools in line with local and national programme(s) 28
Perseverance: Great Ormond Street Hospital
29
Great Ormond St Hospital: Background
Tertiary/Quaternary Children’s Hospital 400 Beds One of 10 centralised Cleft Centres in UK Well-established history of Cleft Outcomes reporting Clinical Outcomes are a Hospital Priority
‘The child first and always’
30
Great Ormond St Hospital: Key Lessons 1
Slow implementation of ICHOM ▪ Why? ▪ Collecting bad luck!
2
Perseverance and Back-up plans
3
Building implementation into ‘routine’ ▪ Sustainable ▪ Maintaining focus on quality
31
Just keep swimming!
32
Just keep swimming!
33
Just so long as…
34
Great Ormond St Hospital: Specific Challenges 3 surgeons, 4x major sick leave in 18 months Change in Trust leadership ▪ Chief Executive/Medical Director ▪ Dept managers & Management Structure
Pre-existing UK Cleft outcomes ▪ Quality Dashboard of (process) measures ▪ 25% of Cleft team time is outcome measurement ▪ CleftQ research approval (2 sites, 2 approvals)
35
Great Ormond St Hospital: Generic Challenges
NHS focus on process measures: Outcomes are much more difficult to measure consistently across sites than process measures Harder to ‘cheat’
No money: Reducing complications to save money (or resources) by saving patient harm is ‘no brainer’ BUT often takes initial resources with lag phase
36
Journal for Healthcare Quality 37
Cost of Complications
10 palate repairs with major wound healing problems, matched controls, to age 5yrs
24 v 8 Clinic appointments
2 v 0 extra procedures, 4.8 nights extra inpatient
5 v 0 ongoing structural problems at age 5 (2 fistulae, 3 VPI)
38
Great Ormond St Hospital: Hints and tips 1
Have a back-up plan
2
Lo-tech first to prove concept
3
Duplication of key roles for resilience? ▪ Clinical leads ▪ Executive sponsors
4
Continuous monitoring of outcomes ▪ CUSUM/VLAD ▪ G Roberts, G Thorburn et al Burns (2012)

41
Data collection: start low tech
High tech, computerised patient surveys seem the ideal option but… in our patients Post clinic web-based survey 0/9 iPad during clinics 4/7 but poor feedback and completeness Pen, paper, clipboard 25/25 complete However patient database essential for targeting outcomes measurement

The World is not makeable Life goes on (priority goes to: new building, new EMR, reorganization..) Disease orientation: Responsibilities, Costs… Care Path? Team based: I do my part….. Team leadership: who…. Registration burden: what to do with all the other indicators… How to control the outcome instrument diversity (>20 diseases) Licenses of all the instruments Uneasiness / incompetence of discussing the outcome results with patients Analysis and interpretation of the data is not that easy
66
Next steps Dashboard presentation with references for patient and physicians Communication training Team cohesion & skills support expertise References for benchmarking Methodology (PROMIS?) Other languages, techniques etc. 67
