NHS Improving Quality was invited to take part in a recently held event that celebrated the work that is being done in partnership between the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust and AQuA to deliver a Quality Improvement Methodologies Programme (QuIMP).
Gillian Phazey, Learning and Organisational Development Manager at Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust explains:
'The Learning and Organisational Development and Governance teams at the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust have been working collaboratively with AQuA to deliver a Quality Improvement Methodologies Programme (QuIMP) to support staff in developing knowledge and skills in this topic. The programme has been specifically designed to support colleagues wanting to gain an introduction to the fundamentals and concepts of quality improvement. So far, two cohorts of staff, from clinical and non-clinical areas of the Trust have completed the programme, and have completed quality improvement projects in their own work area to apply their knowledge. On 17th July a celebration event was held for cohort 2 where staff presented their work in poster or presentation form, the aim of which is to share and spread learning across the Trust. Projects were wide ranging, from introducing new processes to reduce complaints and drug errors, to improving patient experience by implementing new tools and techniques. The day was a great success with the Chief Executive and Chief Nurse in attendance. The Trust is highly supportive of this approach in equipping staff with these important techniques, and the programme supports not only our internal quality agenda and objectives, but more widely responds to the recommendations of the Berwick report. The next cohort is starting in September this year.'
Fiona Thow, Patient Safety Collaborative Delivery Lead at NHS Improving Quality delivered a keynote speech, (link to presentation slides) providing a national perspective on the plans for improving patient safety and took the opportunity to introduce the national safety collaboratives. She also highlighted the need for organisations and individuals to think differently about safety for both patients and staff.

Removing Barriers to Clinician Engagement: Partnerships in Improvement WorkHealth Catalyst
With clinicians driving many of the decisions that affect health system quality and cost, they’re an essential part of successful improvement efforts. Clinicians are, however, notoriously overburdened in today’s healthcare setting, and getting their buy-in for additional projects is often a big challenge. To successfully partner with these professionals in improvement work, health systems must develop engagement strategies that prioritize clinician needs and concerns and leverage data that’s meaningful to clinicians.
Improvement leaders can approach clinician engagement on three levels:
Clinician-led local programs.
Department- or division-level programs.
Leadership-level growth and improvement programs.

The Link between Provider Payment and Quality of Maternal Health Services: A ...HFG Project
This paper explores a growing trend among health care payers to combine a quality measurement initiative with a redesigned provider payment system. It presents a conceptual framework of how provider payment links with quality of maternal health services and analyzes real provider payment systems in low- and middle-income countries where payment is linked with quality measurement. It discusses how provider payment systems have been redesigned to improve quality, how quality is defined and measured, whether provider behavior changed in response to the payment mechanism, and reasons for why the payment mechanism did or did not work to achieve improved quality of maternal health services at the point of care.

Skills Assessment Paper
Summary of Skills
For the development of an organization to be successful and effectively achieve set goals and objectives, strong management and organization skills will be required (Bateman & Snell, 2007). Our Team A brings a broad spectrum of skills and talents coming from life, educational and work-related experiences. Each member of the team possesses unique skill sets that will bring fresh ideas, techniques and creative solutions to challenges in the development of our consulting firm.
A thorough evaluation of our team member’s skills, suggests that our key strengths lie within teamwork and dedication, creating presentations, critical thinking, problem-solving techniques, communication, research, and observations. With these skills, this team will be able to successfully achieve most tasks necessary in the development of a consulting firm. This team will need to use these skills to collaborate efforts in a cooperative manner to create, plan, develop and accomplish the goals of the consulting firm. This evaluation also portrays a strong dedication to learning and improving which is beneficial in the development of new skills that may be needed.
Most members of our team currently have educational and professional experience that proves an intense desire to improve and advocate change and educate communities to collaborate an effort enhancing the lives of individuals. This desire will effectively promote positive changes both within communities as well as at a societal level. The team’s overall commitment is to meet basic human needs through education, focusing on identification of challenges and prevention, as well as assist in overcoming personal and organizational obstacles that individuals may face. Our team is committed to improving the overall quality of life through advocacy and action.
The first type of consulting firm that we could possibly work with would be a human services/independent living consulting program. This program would collaborate with a client’s care givers, doctors and independent care organizations to assist in facilitating a client’s independence and improve or maintain health. This consulting firm would collaborate efforts to create an independent, long-term care plan that will enhance the develop of daily living skills, educate on services and programs available, exercise the right to make healthy living choices, and encourage pro-active involvement of all care-giving professionals in the pursuit of personal growth, presence, and participation in the long term care process. This program will improve and emphasis respect and dignity through the promotion of independence.
PLEASE ADD THE OTHER TWO TYPES HERE!
The types of problems these consulting firms might solve.
Inflexible regulatory and legal issues create competitive obstacles human services providers face when offering health services to communities.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Lessons Learned (1)
› Even the best ideas and
practices don’t implement and
spread themselves
› Change takes time, capacity,
dedicated and resources and
leadership … and ultimately
depends on a willing team
working with patients and
families
› Money alone cannot buy change
… but seed funding can help free
up existing resources to focus on
improvement
› Specificity matters – in
intervention design (what?) and
implementation planning (how?)
15. cfhi-fcass.ca | @cfhi_fcass.ca 15
Lessons Learned (2)
› Context matters
› Building capacity for
improvement in tandem with
doing improvement creates
lasting skills
› Measure change in real time to
build momentum and propel
change farther
› Large-scale change depends on
action at multiple levels
