JAG AccreditationJAG Accreditationoutline of the process

Purpose of the visit To enable the centre to be accredited/re-accredited Accreditation for Bowel Cancer Screening

Standards and measures against which centres are assessed High quality training Safe and effective care for patients

To pass a visit, a unit must provide evidence of level B or better for the following domains of the GRS:- Clinical quality- Quality of the patient experience- Training- Workforce

Waiting times for all procedures must be <9 weeks(level A for timeliness) Surveillance lists must be up to date

The visit includes an assessment of the environment, decontamination facilities and processes

JAG Visits

“Should be seen as supportive and educational opportunity to assist you in providing the highest standards in patient care and training”

Upload your Evidence

Communicate with Assessors

Uploading evidence

P = presentable Stick to one style or format Make one person responsible for uploading

R = relevant Only supply what is asked for JAG accreditation

E = excluding Do not upload Trust policies, provide separately

S = specific to the item Do not upload the same document for numerous items

Use the comments field to communicate with JAG assessors

PowerPoint Presentation Summary of achievements and challenges

An opportunity for you to provide any final information Final documents, audits

The walkthrough is a key part of the assessment

Refer to the JAG preparation Guidance in your book for final checks

The Main Event

What happens if you defer?

It depends on what the challenges are You will be given clear recommendations Timescales for improvement Direct support from the JAG (Bethany Ince) to attain full

accreditation

We want you to pass

it’s a supportive process

We want you to pass

it’s a supportive process

Common causes for deferral Decontamination

– Non-compliant AERs– Flow of endoscopes (separation of clean and dirty)– Evidence of training

Audits– No comprehensive rolling audit programme, supported by ERS

Environment– Privacy and dignity– Recovery space

Sustainability of waits

Final Tips

Book a date for the visit now Start preparing your evidence

Consider having a lead coordinator manage the process Visit other JAG approved sites for examples of good practice Read the JAG guidance carefully Only provide what is asked for Use all the resources available through www.grs.nhs.uk and www.thejag.org.uk Contact us for advice

Policy and Procedures• Unit Access/Operational Policy/Operating

Procedures– Endoscopy Classification– Referral guidelines (appropriateness)– Waiting list management system– Vetting practices– Surveillance– Clerical and clinical validation– Guidelines– Pooling– Scheduling practices

These should be understood and actively applied

This section is looked at closely alongside;

• Booking and Choice

• Appropriateness

• Communicating results

This operational policy effectively covers all the key requirements.

Waiting List Data

This includes patients who have chosen to wait beyond their dues date

1. This will be looked at closely on the day of the visit (live system)

2. Patient Comments need to be up to date

3. Patients will be explored

the service

GIN Programme

• A new training initiative, rolled out nationally• Currently available to every NHS acute

endoscopy unit• Independent sector invited to participate in Wave

Aim of the GIN programme• Improve access to training

• Support the development of specialist knowledge and skills relating to GI endoscopy

• Ensuring sustainability by equipping the workforce with the skills and knowledge to identify local training needs

• Create a highly skilled workforce to provide a safe and patient centred endoscopy service

Endoscope Decontamination 2009

Most common question…

• Where have these new guidelines come from?

Influences on endoscope decontamination practice

1988 1996 2004 2007

vCJDHine Report

Decontamination Standards for flexible endoscopes

1994: An endoscope cleaning room should have ‘dirty’ area and a separate clean area….a sink unit with two sinks and a double drainer’ HBN 52 - Accommodation for Day Care Endoscopy Unit

1988 1996 2004 2007

vCJDHine Report

1997: A technical guide detailing requirements for Design; Operation; and testing of WDsHTM2030 Washer Disinfectors

1988 1996 2004 2007

vCJDHine Report

2002: ..suitable environment, with validated automated processes, managed and operated by trained staff….separate sinks for washing and rinsing.Infection control in the built environment NHS Estates

1988 1996 2004 2007

vCJDHine Report

2003: ‘Clean’ and ‘dirty’ equipment and processes should be segregated….. Instruments should be tracked to patients.. Department of Health

Decontamination

What do you need to do to pass?

Operational management

• Decontamination lead at executive level• Local decontamination operational policy• Robust tracking system• Out of hours protocol for decontamination• vCJD protocols

Environment, design and layout

• Designated decontamination area• Identified one way flow for equipment• Separation of dirty, clean and storage areas• Adequate ventilation and extraction• Double sink for manual cleaning• Designated hand washing basin

Safety• Risk assessments

– Drying cabinets– Out of hours– Pre-cleaning of scopes– COSHH & H&S

• PPE• Spillage policy • Automated processes are used at all times

Workforce & Training

• Appropriate personnel • Evidence of up to date training and

revalidation• Training of test person(s)

– Training to carry out HTM testing

Maintenance, Testing & Validation

• Evidence of planned and unplanned maintenance, period tests and action plans

• Assessed by AE(D)

Automatic Endoscope Reprocessor (AER)

• Is your AER compliant?• Responsibility for the AER has been given to

the Authorised Engineer (D)• AER Certificate of compliance

JAG Accreditation• Full Accreditation – 5 years

• Deferred Accreditation - within 3 months– Adherence to processes & practices but AER not compliant

• Commitment to purchase – full accreditation – informal re-visit

• If not achieved, JAG Accreditation will be withdrawn– Poor decontamination practices

• Improvements to be made within 3 months – formal re-visit– New builds ie. Centralised units

• Re-visit to assess processes• Fail

– If patient safety is compromised, and the assessors judge that patients are at significant risk of immediate and serious harm that cannot be rapidly rectified

Future

• NHS Supply Chain commissioned by DH to produce a National Service Framework for AERs – due out March 2009

• Quality Care Commission – Liaison between JAG and QCC

• HTM-01-06 due out April 2009 – covers all aspects of decontamination– new decontamination accreditation group to audit
