Variation - Using SPC methodology, data since April-2017 (or as early as
currently available) is fed into SPC charts. If the variation is showing as
special cause in the reported month, this is flagged. Orange being
negative, and blue being positive.
Assurance – As per above, if the variation in the performance is
consistently showing above the target, it will be blue. If orange, it will not
meet target without system change. Grey indicates that the target is
within the limits of variation.

There is an assumption applied that technology will be readily available and there will be no cost implications.
Strong engagement system-wide, and support to help deliver cultural change, is essential for this large scale programme to succeed and this will need to remain a priority throughout the entirety of the programme and through all participating organisations.

Quality Priority 5 – Patient Experience: Cancer pathways
Appendix A o Quality IPR – tabular format
Page 14 of 25
QP1: Mortality reduction (Clinical Effectiveness)
Summary
The mortality reduction priority is comprised of 3 key elements:
1. Summary Hospital Mortality Indicator (SHMI). SHMI is not a measure of quality, but can identify differences in care provision and recording/coding. A review undertaken in 2019 identified some differences between the two main hospitals recording/coding processes.
2. Learning from deaths review process. These are the processes that support clinicians reflect on and learn from the review of mortality cases for both care quality and quality of recording keeping, recording and coding.
3. Patients at end of life stage being able to die in their preferred place of death. A summary of these key elements is presented on this and the following page.
1a: SHMI Graph Trust SHMI is 114 for the period of March 18-February 19; just in the ‘higher than expected’ range.
SHMI includes deaths within 30 days of discharge; 37% of all deaths where following discharge, this is above the UK average of 30%.
The SHMI calculates observed vs. expected. Observed deaths between the sites and in vs. out of hospital are similar, but there is a disparity between DPoW expected – statistically calculated from coding – vs SGH. This disparity is leading to DPoW/Trust SHMI being ‘higher than expected’.
Actions Issues/Risk
Consulting with Grant Thornton the impact of the coding improvement work on mortality SMR.
Plan retrospective clinician validation of coding for deaths – focussing on DPoW and DPoW out of hospital mortality.
Task and finish group being established with Community and Primary Colleagues across the CCGs.
Refocus of MIG to recommendations from Professor Mohammed Mohammed’s report.
Risk of inflated SHMI score based on disparity between observed/expected deaths.
Mortality performance is on the risk register with a risk rating of 20.
Page 15 of 25
QP1: Mortality reduction (Clinical Effectiveness)
1b: Learning from deaths process
Surgery & Critical Care:
Not yet reviewing 100% (43% Mar, 40% Apr, 38% May)
M&M arrangements not fully in place/effective within Surgery/Trauma & Orthopaedics.
Medicine:
Not yet reviewing 20% (16% Mar, 22% Apr, 19% May)
M&M arrangements not fully in place/effective in gastroenterology, respiratory, Diabetes (DPoW), A&E (DPoW).
National Quality Board:
All cases meeting the criteria have been distributed, not all cases have been reviewed, with some historic cases still outstanding.
New policy for dealing with bereaved carers/relatives to be approved at MIG at the beginning of August 2019.
Patients at EOL dying in preferred place of death:
During Q1, an EOL audit tool was completed for 63% (n=219) of deaths in hospital.
Of these, 31% (n=106) were recorded as having a ‘Last Days of Life’ document completed.
Of those patients on the ‘Last Days of Life’ document, for Q1, 55% (n=56) of these had recorded their preferred place of death.
Actions Issues/Risk
Process issues in Surgery escalated to DCD, meeting held and a different methodology is now being used, linked to morbidity review meeting structure. To pilot new approach during August 2019.
To escalate issues with M&M arrangements to DCD in Medicine.
Consultation planned with newly appointed Clinical Leads and existing DCDs to review how MIG can be more clinically represented/led/improved engagement.
Risk of non-conformance with learning from deaths guidance for Trusts, this is a part of the Trust’s risk register, risk rating of 20.
Issue around time to undertake mortality reviews in some specialties.
Mortality analyst post-holder has left the role, recruitment underway, in the meantime there is a vacancy that will impact on the ability to support reporting and analysis.
Page 16 of 25
QP2: Deteriorating Patient (Patient Safety)
Summary
The deteriorating patient quality priority is comprised of two specific areas of focus: (1) the monitoring and action being taken in response to Early Warning Scores (EWS) and (2) compliance with the sepsis six care bundle.
The Trust uses the National Early Warning Score or NEWS and records this electronically, using the Web-V system. The first element of this priority is to evidence improvement in the number of observations being recorded on time in line with the Trust’s policy. The second element is to begin to measure, for improvement purposes, the action being taken in response to NEWS observations, for those patients who exhibit signs of deterioration.
The second part of this indicator deals with compliance against the sepsis six care bundle. Whilst this has been recorded electronically as part of Web-V, since November 2018, the information to measure compliance against this indicator is not yet fully available.
2a: NEWS recorded on time
NEWS Recorded on time (including 30 mins grace period):
The chart demonstrates significant improvements in the number of NEWS observations recorded on time, in line with the policy, increasing to 87.3% for the month of July.
2b: NEWS appropriate action taken in line with the policy
Action taken in line with Policy:
NB: The above data is based on a snapshot of manual case note reviews during Q1, looking at a sample of 44 episodes of deterioration in patient records. The sample size is therefore very small compared to the number of NEWS observations recorded and the data should be used as an indication of current performance only.
Medium Risk (NEWS 5-6, 3 in one parameter): In 47% of cases the registered nurse informed the medical team Patients at medium risk (NEWS 5-6, 3 in one parameter): In 47% of cases the registered nurse informed the medical team caring for the patient. In 20% there was a plan or other actions were carried out. In 26% of cases there were no clear actions documented. 7% were identified as for ward based and DNACPR. 80% of patients had a plan for escalation of care
There was no documentation using SBAR as part of the escalation process.
It was not able to be ascertained from the documentation whether actions/alerts were within 30 minutes as per the policy.
Of those escalated 43% had been screened or started on the Sepsis pathway 21% had Critical Care Outreach involved.
Page 17 of 25
Patient at High Risk (NEWS 7 or more): 79% of patients had the medical team looking after them informed by ward staff. 7% were identified for ward based, 7% EoL and 7% for fast track. All patients had a plan for escalation of care.
In 18% of cases that were escalated there was evidence of SBAR being used to shape the escalation process.
Of those escalated 55% had Critical Care Outreach involved, 36% were screened for sepsis, 55 % were started or were already on a fluid balance chart and 82% had the monitoring facilities of the environment considered.
Actions Issues/Risk
Escalation toolkit has been distributed to all ward managers for inpatient areas during the week commencing the 22 July 2019. This includes escalation policy, educational materials, posters advocating SBAR and escalation, guidance on electronic recording of sepsis.
To monitor roll-out of pack and progress with any action plans on wards during Q2, Repeat audit during September 2019 (Q2).
Remind wards to highlight NEWS scores and Sepsis screening at Safety huddles
Propose to collect information from ward assurance tool, critical care outreach audit and resuscitation team to triangulate evidence and then determine whether an additional more in-depth audit should be repeated at end of Q3.
Propose feeding results back into deteriorating patient group but also safety huddles, divisional governance groups and harm free care board.
Risk of non-escalation of care in line with the policy.
QP2: Deteriorating Patient (Patient Safety)
2c: Sepsis Six Compliance
This data is not available for reporting purposes.
Actions Issues/Risk
Electronically held Sepsis Six compliance data has been added into PowerBI and is available in draft form. This was discussed at the Deteriorating Patient Group meeting on the 7 August 2019 and further mapping needs to occur so a task and finish group will be set up to achieve this over the next month.
Similarly, as part of the ward assurance tool process, critical care outreach audit and resuscitation teams triangulation of evidence for deteriorating patient work, to include sepsis as a part of this to provide timely data, in the absence of electronic information.
Commencement and completion of sepsis screening will be included in the work detailed above.
Risk is that the Trust is unable to gauge, at this time, what performance against the Sepsis Six bundle is.
Mitigation proposed is the use of local evaluation methods to provide further understanding of performance.
Page 18 of 25
QP3: Medication Safety (Patient Safety)
Summary
During 2018/19 the Trust were unable to obtain satisfactory assurances regarding medication safety in two specific areas, specifically (1) omitted medication doses, identified from audit work undertaken and reported to the Trust’s Quality & Safety committee and (2) errors involving insulin medications, as identified from incident reporting. The Trust has therefore included these areas within the Trust’s quality priorities for 2019/20.
3a: Reduction in omitted doses
The number of incidents reported involving omitted doses has reduced since a spike in reporting during January 2019.
30% of all medication incidents involve omitted doses.
The highest number of omitted dosage incidents relate to where the dosage is not available.
49% of all omitted dose incidents related to critical medications, including amongst others, insulins.
Actions Issues/Risk
A safer medication report is now available that includes these indicators, amongst other data. Currently working to distribute to a wider group as currently being received only by the Safer Medications Group.
A safer medications dashboard has been also developed, based on data for the last few months, aiming for 12 months data. This will enable operational groups to run bespoke reports for action and assurance purposes. This is available without a full 12 months data, looking to share more widely either via distribution list, or via hub site.
Set trajectories for quality improvement target for the rest of 2019/20 during September.
Lack of assurance at Safer Medications Group that action is being taken at divisional level (poor attendance from all divisions/not all represented at present).
This data is Incident data, therefore may not be fully representative of all omissions/insulin errors, only those reported via DATIX. The Trust encourages a high incident reporting, so therefore any improvement trajectories need to be viewed in the context of reducing the incidence, not reducing the reporting of incidents.
Page 19 of 25
QP3: Medication Safety (Patient Safety)
3b: Reduction in errors involving insulins
The number of incidents reported involving insulins has increased.
9% of all medication incidents involve insulins.
Actions Issues/Risk
As outlined above, work underway to circulate a new safer medication report and dashboard.
Seek update on Insulin action being taken from diabetes nurse specialist. Next SMG in September.
Set trajectories for quality improvement target for the rest of 2019/20 during September.
There is a risk from incidents reported that insulins not always available and the errors often relate to incorrect dosages.
There is a risk that Insulin mandatory training may not be appropriate and that the correct staff may not be attending. An update is to be received from the Diabetes Nursing teams.
Page 20 of 25
QP4: Patient Flow (Patient Experience)
Summary
The Trust recognises that efficient patient flow around its acute hospitals is an important element in ensuring high quality care is provided. To support this focus, the Trust are currently working to embed a number of initiatives around this area including (1) the SAFER patient flow bundle (a series of work programmes to support efficient flow and early discharge, developed by NHS Improvement) and (2) meet the requirements for seven day services, specifically, compliance with 4 priority standards, that all NHS Acute Trusts are working on to meet the governments ambition that seven day services will be available to all patients by 2020. The following summarises compliance with these indicators.
4a: Embedding the use of SAFER bundle to improve flow
SAFER focus within the Trust has been focussed on 4 wards (2 at each site).
Priority is to focus on 4 key principles: (1) discharge by 12 midday, (2) EDD for every patient, (3) safety huddle by 2pm and (4) education.
At present there is a gap in the availability of information for ward level LOS, therefore the data presented as follows is Medicine LOS.
Actions Issues/Risk
Support clinician attendance through job planning.
Work with information team to provide missing data needed (LOS by Ward location).
Additional resource from Operational Management team to focus on SAFER and support.
LOS at ward level information is not available presently to aid understanding of impact.

Increase from previous report (Mar 18, 64%) to 73.8%.
No obvious weekend effect was seen; rather less likely to be seen within 14 hours if admitted late afternoon / early evening.
Surgery & Critical Care model does not have consultant cover till 8pm; Paediatrics model of care is also not set up to deliver 7DS standard 2 or ‘Facing the Future’ standard.
Clinical Standard 5: Inpatients must have scheduled 7-day access to diagnostic services and be available within 1 hour for critical and 12 hours for urgent patients.

Interventional radiology was submitted as not being available out of hours and that such cases would need referral to Hull. From further exploration, NHSE have confirmed that because we have formal arrangements with Hull, this should be declared as compliant in future submissions. A similar question has been asked and awaiting feedback from medicine re. Cardiac pacing.
Cardiac pacing options at the weekend are being explored by Medicine with the potential to have a cardiology ODN in place.
Clinical Standard 8: Patients with high dependency needs should be seen and reviewed twice daily. Once a clear pathway in place, patients should receive consultant review at least once every 24 hours, 7-days a week (unless determined that this would not affect patient’s pathway).
Weekday Weekend Overall
Once daily >90% Not achieved
>90% Not achieved Standard
Not Met Twice daily
>90% Not achieved
>90% Not achieved
Overall compliance as a Trust was 62%, on a weekday this was 72% but dropped to 37% at a weekend.
In a number of cases daily ward rounds were undertaken by Senior Registrars rather than the consultant. In some areas there is a good handover process in place where the care is delegated to the registrar over the weekday/weekend.
NHSI visits identified good practice at handover within one of the divisions.
Actions Issues/Risk
To develop divisional based action plans.
Obtain confirmation from Medicine regarding cardiac pacing and whether services are available in readiness for next submission.
The Trust have focused on identifying gaps for the four priority standards and have not yet assessed the gaps in detail for the remaining clinical standards.

QP5: Cancer Pathways (Patient Experience)
Summary
The Trust aspires to provide high quality cancer services which meet the national performance targets. During 2018/19, the Trust did not make sufficient progress against these targets and therefore has included key quality metrics as part of the quality priorities for 2019/20. These include faster access to diagnostics (straight to test) which is designed to streamline pathways for investigating and confirming cancer, to ensure faster treatment. The second element of the quality priority is the greater specification of target timescales to be attained for specific elements of the pathway of care for patients with colorectal, lung or urological cancers. These three pathways represent the bulk of patients with cancer that the Trust cares for and therefore the biggest scope for improvements in process and outcomes of care.
5a: Straight to test for cancer diagnostics
It is not possible to measure the proportion of patients receiving straight to test. As a proxy indicator, however, the Trust uses the proportion of patients (%) diagnosed within 28 days to understand delays to diagnosis and uses this as focal point to increase the use of straight to test to expedite pathways.
For the month of July 2019, the overall Trust performance with this was 56%. Breast achieved the 95% target. The following chart focusses performance on 4 key cancer pathways and shows trend over time.
5b: Timed cancer pathways Linked to the above chart, faster cancer pathways are
needed within Colorectal, Lung and Urology. A timed pathway is a diagrammatic view of the pathway that is described in each tumour sites operational policy, but will include greater specificity with regard to target time frames.
The time pathway will require development but also approval by the MDT and the Clinical Lead.
Progress with timed cancer pathways:
Timed pathway to be in place by:
Lung cancer by 30 September 2019 [AMBER] Aiming for timed pathway by end of September 2019.
Urology (Prostate) by 30 September 2019 [AMBER] Aiming for this to be in place by end of September.
Colorectal by 30 September 2019 [RED]
Actions Issues/Risk
Implementation of 28 day faster diagnosis pathways for colorectal, lung and prostate are included within the cancer improvement plan.
The Cancer Manager, following PRIM, is meeting with divisions to agree improvement trajectories and the reduction of backlog (over 42 days) by 50%.
Cancer Alliance stock take and requirement for each of the three tumour sites to compile a quarterly assurance report for NHS England.
Review cancer related risks and set register.
Straight to test is a critical component of the Trust being able to achieve the new national cancer targets which will come into effect during April 2020.
Cancer risk registers being reviewed to ensure risks around cancer are recorded.

Mortality Thematic Analysis – Quarter 1 2019/20
From completed SJR forms as at the 20 August 2019, the following chart demonstrates the high level themes presented in ‘chapters’ to provide an overview of the key themes emerging from the completed reviews completed within the period of April – June 2019.
Themes from quarter 2 will be presented when this information is available to provide a picture over time to be demonstrated.
Top themes:
80% of the themes from the completed SJR reviews in quarter 1 relate to the following chapters:
End of life (encompassing themes such as “No advanced plan, admission potentially avoidable” and “DNaCPR could have been commenced sooner”)
Good practice (including themes such as “excellent care” and “good care provision”)
Communication (i.e. “excellent communication with family” and “poor documentation”)
Surgery (which includes “delay in procedure being undertaken” and “delay in referring for surgical review”)
Oxygen use (includes “oxygen administered but not prescribed”, “no test prior to ABGs being taken” and “oxygen not monitored appropriately”)
Planning (“no VTE prophylaxis” and “care plans not available”)
Fluid management (includes “fluid balance not monitored”, “fluid overload” and “inappropriate commencement of IV fluids”).
