Elective Care Conference: getting buy in to improve performance
This document discusses improving performance through collaboration between commissioners and providers. It argues that both sides must work together, as each has some responsibility, knowledge, and ability to solve problems, but no single group has all the answers. The old model of thinking performance is just one group's responsibility is outdated. The new model requires all groups to take responsibility and work together through open dialogue and data sharing to reduce referrals and wait times, as patients expect a collaborative approach. This partnership in Leicester led to meeting referral and cancer backlog targets through a focus on practical solutions over political issues and an atmosphere of support between partners.
Elective Care Conference: welcome and opening address
This document provides an agenda and overview for the Fourth National Elective Care Conference on April 20th, 2016. The conference aims to showcase best practices in elective care management, provide opportunities for input to shape NHS Improvement priorities, and allow networking. The agenda includes keynote speeches, workshops on RTT, diagnostics, and cancer over three sessions, and an opportunity to provide feedback. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
Elective care conference: recovery planning & trajectory development
The document discusses the need for RTT (referral to treatment) recovery planning at CUHFT (Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust). It provides background on the trust's failure to meet the 92% RTT incomplete standard since December 2014. The causes of the deterioration in performance are examined, including issues with data quality following a new IT system, planned activity reductions during the system implementation, and continuing pressure on resources from increased demand and constrained capacity. An overview of the session on RTT recovery planning then outlines exploring why the trust is failing to meet targets, action planning, trajectory setting, financial consequences, stakeholder agreement, and monitoring the plan.
Elective Care Conference: developing & implementing an RTT training strategy
The document outlines the development and implementation of an RTT (Referral to Treatment) training strategy at NNUH Trust. It discusses:
1) Developing an access policy and standard operating procedures to align with the national RTT standards.
2) Improving RTT reporting to ensure all patients are being tracked appropriately.
3) Creating a training strategy informed by pathway mapping, data quality validation, and staff feedback to outline modules and methods for delivery.
4) Implementing the training strategy with support from senior management and measuring its success through return on investment and improved RTT performance.

Elective care conference: theory of Patient Administration System Implementation
The document summarizes the challenges of implementing a new patient administration system (PAS) at an acute NHS Trust. It discusses the implementation process, system functionality requirements, and lessons learned from replacing the PAS system at Derby Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Key challenges included extensive data migration, rewriting numerous interfaces, training large numbers of staff, and addressing significant post go-live issues around data quality, reporting accuracy, and operational pressures on staff. Careful planning and testing of processes, as well as dedicated post go-live support, are emphasized as important to successfully replacing a critical PAS system.
Elective Care Conference: using the IST capacity and demand tool
The document discusses the experience of Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust in using the IST capacity and demand modeling tools. Key points include:
1) The tools require careful planning, clinical input, and support from operational and IT leads to ensure accurate data is entered.
2) Assumptions made when building the models should be well documented.
3) The outputs have helped the trust understand capacity issues, develop business cases, and incorporate capacity planning into routine operations.
4) Future use would involve clearer timelines, more clinical involvement, and better documenting of assumptions.
Elective care conference: the Endoscopy Improvement Programme
The document discusses issues with endoscopy capacity and performance at 3 sites. It notes high demand, a large diagnostic backlog, and failing targets for urgent cancer referrals. Various operational issues are contributing to problems. The general manager and others are working to improve performance using quality improvement methods, including analyzing capacity and demand data with a business intelligence specialist. Their efforts include identifying constraints, increasing flexibility, and gaining additional temporary capacity. Ongoing monitoring of key metrics will be important to guide further improvements.

IGNITE! MagIQ on improving quality
1. The document describes a survey of anaesthetic trainees in Merseyside that found they collectively spent over 1000 hours on audits but only 16% resulted in recognizable practice changes.
2. It then outlines the formation of MAGIQ (Mersey Anaesthetic Group for Improving Quality) to help trainees collaborate on quality improvement projects and overcome barriers like lack of time, resources and support.
3. One such project was a Mersey-wide initiative to increase the use of pre-intubation checklists, which through rapid audit and feedback across 11 hospitals was able to increase checklist use from 51% to 87% over 8 weeks.
John Sweeney, Director, Health Care Informed
John Sweeney discusses partnerships to improve patient safety through innovation and integration. He describes projects with South Australian Pathology and the W/NW Hospital Group where HCI implemented integrated quality and safety management systems. This led to improvements like reduced missed test notifications, standardized paperwork, strengthened governance, and increased incident reporting. Sweeney acknowledges challenges like change management, roles, and IT systems, but believes partnerships can better use resources through integration and local ownership to improve communication and patient safety.

The document discusses the London Cancer Alliance's system-wide approach to improving cancer waiting times performance across North West and South London. It provides an overview of the Alliance's performance monitoring and pathway improvement initiatives. Tumor-specific data is analyzed to identify areas for targeted improvement work. Scorecards with key metrics are used to monitor performance at both the alliance and trust levels, and tumor pathway groups meet regularly to address issues. The goal is continued standard achievement through embedded data analysis and clinical engagement in pathway redesign.
Elective Care Conference: demand and capacity in cancer services
Barts Health NHS Trust is the largest NHS trust in the UK, serving over 1.5 million people across five hospitals. It is working to improve its performance against cancer waiting time standards, which have been challenging to meet consistently. A Cancer Performance Management Team was established to develop a Recovery Action Plan, with a focus on improved demand modeling, standardized pathways and processes, competency training for coordinators, and deep dive reviews of challenged tumor types together with clinical commissioning groups. The goal is to sustainably achieve all cancer waiting time targets through strengthened leadership, data quality, and collaborative working across the care system.
Elective care conference: imaging demand and capacity
The document summarizes the results of demand and capacity modeling done for radiology services at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The modeling found current deficits between 239-290 CT slots and 28-83 MRI slots per week to meet demand at the 65th-85th percentiles. For CT, there is also a backlog of 176-241 patients that requires clearing. The conclusions are that measuring demand, capacity, activity and backlog allows identification of bottlenecks and focus of improvement efforts, and justification of capital investments or alternate solutions to address shortfalls.
Elective Care Conference: the role of the MDT coordinator role
The role of the MDT Coordinator is to support multidisciplinary team meetings for cancer care. Coordinators prepare for meetings, record discussions, and collect mandatory data on waiting times and patient outcomes. They ensure the efficient running of often fast-paced meetings and act as the main point of contact between the MDT and various clinical teams and databases. Outside of meetings, coordinators manually input a large amount of data from different systems and build relationships across the cancer care network to facilitate information sharing. Effective coordination requires managing workload and coverage for multiple specialties with varying requirements.
TCP protocol flow control
The document discusses flow control in TCP. It explains that TCP uses a sliding window mechanism for flow control to balance the sender's transmission rate with the receiver's reception rate. The sliding window allows packets within the window to be transmitted, and slides to the right when acknowledgments are received, making room for more packets. Problems like delayed acknowledgments, silly window syndrome, and solutions like Nagle's algorithm are also covered. TCP provides reliable data transfer using error control mechanisms like checksums, acknowledgments, and retransmissions of lost packets.
Flow & Error Control
The document discusses various topics related to flow and error control in computer networks, including stop-and-wait ARQ, sliding window protocols, and selective reject ARQ. Stop-and-wait ARQ allows transmission of one frame at a time, while sliding window protocols allow multiple outstanding frames using sequence numbers and acknowledgments. Go-back-N ARQ requires retransmission of frames from the lost frame onward, while selective reject ARQ only retransmits the lost frame to minimize retransmissions.

Developing a Strategic Analytics Framework that Drives Healthcare Transformation
About the presentation.
Based on Chapter 3 of my book "Healthcare Analytics for Quality and Performance Improvement", this presentation describes the key components of a strategic analytics framework that can enable your healthcare organization to leverage data from source-systems to achieve its quality, safety, and performance improvement goals.
What is an analytics strategy?
Analytics is currently a very “trendy” topic. The internet is scattered with many buzzwords, marketing angles, white papers, and opinions on the topic of healthcare analytics. With all this “noise”, it is easy to get distracted from what is actually required, from an analytics perspective, by your organization. An analytics strategy helps cut through the noise and keep focus on what is important for the organization. Regardless of what the latest “buzz” is, your analytics strategy will enable your organization to Invest now for what is required now, and invest later for what is required in the future.
An analytics strategy helps ensure that analytics development and capabilities are in alignment with enterprise quality and performance goals and helps avoids the “all dashboard, no improvement” syndrome. Furthermore, a well formed strategy document helps to achieve optimal use of analytics within a healthcare organization and can mean the difference between a “collection of reports” versus a high-value information resource.
An analytics strategy can rarely stand on its own. In general, the analytics strategy should use as input an organization’s Quality Improvement (QI) strategy and should be used to inform an organization’s Business Intelligence (BI) or Information Technology (IT) strategy. The analytics strategy is an important input to technical strategies because analytics, after all, can involve a sophisticated use of data and technology. Requirements for analytics may trigger a cascade of enhancements throughout other components of IT and BI (i.e., reporting, data storage, ETL, etc)
The document is intended to accompany Chapter 3, “Developing an Analytics Strategy to Drive Change”, so please refer to the chapter for further information about developing an analytics strategy.

University of Manitoba
iHT2 case studies and presentations illustrate challenges, successes and various factors in the outcomes of numerous types of health IT implementations. They are interactive and dynamic sessions providing opportunity for dialogue, debate and exchanging ideas and best practices. This session will be presented by a thought leader in the provider, payer or government space.Effective PRFS: principles and practice
This document discusses principles for effective research assessment and funding systems. It argues that assessing quality can provide accountability, identify strengths and weaknesses, and encourage improvement. Linking assessment to funding provides stronger incentives to raise standards. An effective system is objective, consistent, fit for purpose, and accepted as credible. Peer review informed by quantitative indicators can best capture diversity across disciplines. Disciplines and research units must be appropriately defined. Management and communication must be transparent to maintain fairness and confidence in the system. Assessment should precede funding decisions to reduce gaming and allow funding to follow excellence.

Use an actual dashboard from a professional practice setting for your evaluation. If you decide to use actual dashboard metrics, be sure to add a brief description of the organization and setting that includes:
· The size of the facility that the dashboard is reporting on.
· The specific type of care delivery.
· The population diversity and ethnicity demographics.
· The socioeconomic level of the population served by the organization.
Note: Ensure your data are Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant. Do not use any easily identifiable organization or patient information.
To complete this assessment:
1. Review the performance dashboard metrics in your Assessment 1 Dashboard and Health Care Benchmark Evaluation activity, as well as relevant local, state, and federal laws and policies. Consider the metrics that are falling short of the prescribed benchmarks. Note: The writing you do as part of the simulation could serve as a starting point to build upon for this assessment.
2. Write a report for a senior leader that communicates your evaluation of current organizational or interprofessional team performance, with respect to prescribed benchmarks set forth by government laws and policies at the local, state, and federal levels. In addition, advocate for ethical and sustainable action to address benchmark underperformance and explain the potential for improving the overall quality of care and performance, as reflected on the performance dashboard.
3. Make sure your report meets the Report Requirements listed below. Structure it so that it will be easy for a colleague or supervisor to locate the information they need, and be sure to cite the relevant health care policies or laws when evaluating metric performance against established benchmarks.
Report Requirements
The report requirements outlined below correspond to the scoring guide criteria, so be sure to address each main point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. In addition, be sure to note the requirements for document format and length and for supporting evidence.

Evaluating Systems Change
Whole systems change across a neighbourhood
How can we collaborate with people to help them build their resilience? Get under the skin of the culture and the lives people live. Identify people’s feelings and experiences of community and understand what people think is shaped by different values and by the environment and infrastructure around them. The future of collaboration could bring many opportunities but people find it more difficult to live and act together than before. How can we help people…and communities build their resilience? Understand people’s different situations and capabilities to develop pathways that help them build resilient relationships. Help people experience and practice change together. Help people grow everyday practices into sustainable projects. Turn people’s everyday motivations into design principles. Support infrastructure that connects different cultures of collaboration. Build relationships with people designing in collaboration for the future…now.
INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMME DEVELOPMENT..ppt
This document discusses planning, monitoring, and evaluating health services. It defines monitoring and evaluation as key functions to improve performance and determine whether programs are achieving their goals. Monitoring involves systematic observation of activities, while evaluation assesses achievement against criteria. Both use indicators and data collection to analyze inputs, processes, outputs, outcomes, and impacts. Evaluation can be conducted internally or externally. The evaluation process involves planning, method selection, data collection and analysis, reporting, and dissemination. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used. The goal is to improve programs and determine their effectiveness, efficiency, and relevance in improving health.

Directions
Write a summary (at least 250 words) of “We Are the Wildfire” by Naomi Klein. This article can be found in your They Say/I Say textbook in Chapter 19.
Your goal for this assignment is to summarize the article’s main ideas and important points clearly, concisely, and accurately
Use the templates in They Say/I Say for representing the words of others and for introducing quotations.
Here are a few points for writing a summary:
· In the first sentence, mention the title, author, and the essay’s main idea or thesis
· Be objective and use the third person, “he/she/they,” point of view
· Focus on the text and not your own ideas
· Put the summary in your own words
· If you do use a small quotation, put it in quotes and give the page number in parentheses
· Limit your summary to the key points
Plagiarism
You are expected to write primarily in your own voice using paraphrase, summary, and synthesis techniques when integrating information from class and outside sources. Use an author’s exact words only when the language is especially vivid, unique, or needed for technical accuracy. Failure to do so may result in charges of academic dishonesty.
Overusing an author’s exact words, such as including block quotations to meet word counts, may lead your readers to conclude that you lack appropriate comprehension of the subject matter or that you are neither an original thinker nor a skillful writer. It is best if you write this paper without any materials from outside sources.

Falls collaborative case studies
We held an improvement collaborative with 19 NHS providers earlier this year to help improve the management of falls in an inpatient setting.
This resource shows case studies of the providers involved in the collaborative.
Falls Collaborative Clinical updates
Falls in hospitals are common, especially among older patients aged 65 and above. Falls can have serious impacts on patient health and experience. There is evidence that falls could be reduced by 25-30% with focused interventions on older patient wards. One goal of the NHS Improvement Falls Collaborative was to encourage a multi-professional focus on falls prevention and reduction.
The document provides updates from the Falls Collaborative on various clinical topics. One topic discussed improving lying and standing blood pressure assessments. National audit results found that only 16% of patients over 65 had these assessments within 3 days of admission, despite recommendations that all over 65 patients should have them. The updates aim to increase awareness of orthostatic hypotension

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Elective Care Conference: overview of the RTT Sustainability and Assessment Tool
- 1. The IST RTT Sustainability Assessment Tool 20 April 2016
- 2. About the Tool • The IST developed an RTT sustainability assessment tool using the Drivers Tree developed jointly with the IST, NHSE and McKinsey & Co in 2013. • It incorporates the 6 areas from the RTT ‘What good looks like matrix’. • The Tool has been developed to assist Trusts and wider local health communities to assess their current level of compliance against best practice referral to treatment systems and processes.
- 3. 3 • The tool is designed to be used by all organisations whether their RTT performance is securely compliant or subject to a recovery plan. • The Tool has been piloted in challenged organisations where it has been used as a detailed check list for recovery.
- 4. Scope 4 The RTT Sustainability Assessment Tool covers the following nine areas: 1. Leadership and accountability 2. Access Policy and Standard Operating Procedures 3. Training and expertise 4. Pathway Design 5. Operational management 6. Breach analysis 7. Demand and capacity 8. Reports and information 9. Data quality In total there are 45 elements (level 2) across the nine areas to review and rate .
- 5. Use 5 • The Tool is designed to be used flexibly in a way that best fits the organisation. • Level 1, 2 & 3 descriptors define the areas of focus for the assessment. • Each element is mapped to a corresponding section of the ‘What good looks like’ matrix. • There are further directions towards additional relevant resources e.g. IST information sheets and the Elective Care Guide.
- 6. Ratings 6 • Trusts are encouraged to rate their own position against each indicator and record the justification/evidence: 0 = Nothing in place (no evidence) 1 = Fair (limited evidence of implementation or impact, document available) 2 = Good (significant evidence of implementation, limited impact) 3 = Very good (full implementation, clear evidence of demonstrable impact) 4 = Best practice (evaluated, approach refined, maximum impact)
- 7. Onward use 7 • The Tool can be used to conduct a gap analysis of a Trust’s own position against best practice. • It can form the basis of an action plan for improvement and is designed to facilitate the recording of progress. • Trusts are encouraged to determine what actions will improve ratings and re-score once actions are complete.
- 8. Discussion 8 (1) How do you think your respective organisations fair against these best practice indicators? (2) How useful do you find the Tool? Is it clear and easy to use? Is anything missing? We welcome all feedback!
