• industry

• Consistent evidence of failure to translate research findings into clinical practice – 30-40% patients do not get treatments of proven

effectiveness

– 20-25% patients get care that is not needed or potentially harmful

• Schuster, McGlynn, Brook (1998) Millbank Memorial Quarterly Grol R (2001). Med Care

Overview of TEWV

We provide a range of mental health, learning disability

and substance misuse services for the 1.6 million

people living in County Durham, the Tees Valley,

Scarborough, Whitby, Ryedale, Harrogate, Hambleton

and Richmondshire.

We deliver our services by working in partnership with

seven local authorities and Clinical Commissioning

Groups, a wide range of voluntary organisations, as

well as service users, their carers and the public.

Overview of TEWV

Our Mission : To improve peoples lives by minimising

the impact of mental ill health or a learning disability

Strategic Goals:

1 To promote excellent services, working with the

individual users or our services and their carers to

promote recovery and well being.

2 To continuously improve the quality and value of our

work

Overview of TEWV

3 Localities: Durham and Darlington; Tees wide; North

Yorkshire

Up to 80% of our work is with people with dementia

and their families

We also work with people with Young Onset Dementia

and their families

What are NICE quality standards?

Evidence Guidance Quality

Standards

A NICE quality standard is a

concise set of statements

designed to drive and

measure priority quality

improvements.

A set of systematically developed

recommendations to guide decisions for

a particular area of care or health issue

Research studies - experimental

and observational, quantitative

and qualitative, process

evaluations, descriptions of

experience, case studies

Using NICE Quality Standards

NICE quality standards can highlight key areas for improvement. An initial assessment should consider for each statement within the quality standard:

• whether the statement is relevant to the organisation

• how the current service compares to the statement

• source of information to evidence this

• what actions/resources would be required in order to improve the service so that it meets the quality standard statement

• an initial assessment of risk associated with not making these improvements

Sources of information to support this initial assessment could include:

• baseline assessments/actions plans for NICE clinical guidelines

• performance / activity data

• new or existing patient/service user feedback

• complaints or Serious Untoward Incidents (SUIs)

• audit information (including national audit data)

• prescribing data

• views of the service/team

• process maps

• service user experience interviews or focus groups

• Assessments by regulators such as OfSTED or CQC

Locally prioritised quality improvement

The initial assessment can:

• provide assurance

• inform a trust’s quality account, a local authority’s local account or a quality profile

• indicate areas requiring quality improvement:– inform local quality improvement work/programme planning

– support discussions with commissioners

• Inform the organisation’s annual audit programme (by identifying priority areas for audit) and business planning

• Inform local risk management, in collaboration with the service’s commissioners

Quality Standards support for commissioning

• Highlights the key actions that commissioners should take

• Identifies opportunities for collaboration and integrationat a local and regional level

• Identifies the benefits and potential costs and/ or savingsfrom implementing the changes needed to achieve quality improvement

• Directs commissioners and service providers to resourcesthat can help them implement NICE and NICE-accredited guidance

Support for commissioning – Heart Failure Services

• Context and epidemiology (prevalence, emergency admission and readmission rates, case for improvement)

• Resource implications (for each stage of the pathway)

• Cost impact (e.g. echo waiting list)

• Link to commissioning and benchmarking tool to assess the level of service needed locally and the associated costs and savings

• Definitions and links to source guidance (e.g. multidisciplinary team structure)

• Links to national drivers and other useful resources including patient information leaflets, exemplar CQUIN goals and ‘Es of self management’

Case study - NHS Stockport CCG & Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council

• Wanted to integrate quality agendas, with a systematic & evidence based approach to quality

• Designed a process & set up small steering group to evaluate all QS (tested it with QS1& 30 on dementia)

• Where indicated by initial assessment, set up small topic specific task & finish groups, which identified actions required to improve, and act upon them.

• Working together led to consistent approach, combined knowledge, avoided duplication, more powerful approach to change, feeds into formal structures.

Case study – Greater Manchester Sector Led Improvement

• NICE guidance & quality standards are pivotal to Greater Manchester's sector-led improvement approach to driving improvements in public health

• Process of self-assessment and peer review• Local action plans are developed and reviewed

regularly by LA peers to ensure that NICE guidance & quality standards are being implemented and that performance against PHOF (Public Health Outcomes Framework) measures improves in the long-term

Case study - Lancashire Care Foundation Trust

• Aimed to develop a robust method of using NICE quality

standards across the trust

• Ensuring staff are aware when a quality standard applies

to their area of work so they can understand their

performance in relation to it, share good practice and

strive to improve if appropriate

• Clinical lead completes a review of the statements

• Using existing evidence where available eg. training

records and environmental audits

Case Study – Cumbria Adult Social Care

“Cumbria Adult Social Care is committed to adopting

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)

guidelines and quality standards throughout their

contracted social care services”.

What guides the implementation strategy for NICE?

AHSN North East and North Cumbria

26 November 2014

What guides the implementation strategy for NICE?

• Feedback

• Theory and evidence

• Our position in the health and social care system (levers, alignment and avoiding duplication)

• Being able to listen to, encourage, use and support local agents of change

Implementation – why it is important to

NICE

• Guidance alone doesn’t improve healthcare

• The way guidance is developed and presented

makes a difference to how it is received and

used

• Facilitators and barriers exist at the system,

organisation, peer group and individual levels

• Interventions such as audit, visits, education

can improve adoption

Feedback• Challenges of implementing NICE guidance

Results from a survey of 683 clinicians and managers in 2011

Main barriers to implementation

• Lack of trust in guidance

• Lack of organisational

support - structures and

processes

• Resources (or lack of

them)

• Poor knowledge of

support from NICE

It’s worth it!

• Compelling evidence that it’s possible to change professional behaviour to improve quality of care

• No Magic Bullet – most interventions effective under some circumstances, none effective in all

• Evidence suggests need for tailoring of interventions based on:

– formal barrier assessment

– explicit intervention design• We encourage this through our fellows & scholars schemes,

Shared learning local practice examples, and in the choice of tools NICE produces

Strategic alliances in the health and

social care system• Chair, Chief Executive and SMT activities e.g. Royal

Colleges, Clinical Commissioning Assembly, ADASS

• Partnership Agreements e.g., NHS England, Care

Quality Commission, HEE, Ofsted, Monitor, the NIC,

and AHSNs

• Aligned strategic aims:

– system levers for implementation & improvement

– little point in producing what no-one wants/needs,

and avoiding duplication

• Independence of NICE

Local engagement

• 8 strong field team, plus medicine associates, plus NICE fellows and scholars

• Success criteria over 3 years for engagement with CCGs, Area Teams, Local Authorities, provider trusts, networks, PHE units, social care commissioners etc.

• MOUs with most AHSN’s, coordinated by Sally Chisholm, Programme Director for Health Technologies Adoption, and supported by the Field team

• Education plan to influence and support education providers

Implementation programme strategy

and support

• Working with & through

others

• Needs assessment

based

• Raise awareness

• Motivating for change

• Practical support

• Evaluation uptake

Support for education and learning

Support for service improvement and audit

Support for commissioning

Practical support

• Routine guidance support tools: baseline assessment, costing and resource impact tools, audit criteria

• Other discretionary guidance support tools: Support for commissioning using the quality standard, online learning modules 4x per year

• Endorsement programme: statement from NICE in the guidance support tool about its alignment to the relevant guidance or quality standard(s)

Example:-CG174 IV fluid therapy in adults

Resources to support implementation

• Intravenous fluid therapy in adults in

hospital: algorithm poster set

• Intravenous fluid therapy in adults in

hospital: diagram of ongoing losses

• Intravenous fluid therapy in adults in

hospital: composition of commonly used

crystalloids table

• Clinical audit tool

• Baseline assessment tool

• Clinical audit tool

• “Do not do” recommendations

www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg174/resources

Theory and experience tells us these characteristics are vital to success

• Ensure organisational structures and processes are in place

Board level leadershipDay-to-day operational lead for quality appointedMulti-disciplinary forum for strategic decisionsNominated lead for each new development System in place for ongoing monitoring and reporting to

the board

A systematic approach

• Ensure organisational structures and processes are in

place

Board level leadership Day-to-day operational lead for

quality appointed Multi-disciplinary forum for

strategic decisions Nominated lead for each new

development System in place for ongoing

monitoring and reporting to the board

Are you aiming to improve the quality of healthcare?

Identify the best available evidence-based guidance

Check whether services are currently in line with best practice

Develop an initial plan to overcome any barriers to change

Check if the plan can be delivered within existing resources

Finalise the action plan and implement

Evaluate ongoing success through systematic measurement

Evaluating uptake

Number of ‘active’ products with uptake data (published before March 2014)

• Technology Appraisals 231 163 (70.5%)

• Clinical Guidelines 140 74 (53%)

• Quality Standards 57 28 (49.1%)

• Public Health Guidelines 51 5 (9.8%)

perspectives....negatives• Growing awareness but not complete

• Not sure how to use them

• Need tailoring for use quality standards as a CQUIN

• Comments on alignment to the provisional CCG

Outcomes Indicators Set

• Concerns that the volume of quality standards will

overwhelm the capacity of the health and social care

system to respond

• Perceived “burden” of data collection esp. for providers

• Need to know that a dialogue is in place with CQC,

OFSTED and NHSLA

Our commissioning panel said

• I'm using your excellent end of life care tool for a report

going out to the twenty CCGs supported by GEM

CSU….

• A really helpful document - we are about to look at

extending patient choice locally for IVF which this really

supports

• It’s easy to follow and convert into practice and I think

that the cost impact assumptions are reasonable. (ACS)

• I think it is clear and the SfC would hopefully support

discussion with LATs. (Sickle cell)

My NICE scholarship project

Implementing shared decision making in the

care of people with osteoarthritis of the hip

or knee in County Durham

Background to project• Problems that need addressing

– Osteoarthritis is common and a major source of disability

– Increasing incidence of hip & knee osteoarthritis and number of replacements

– Large geographical variation in joint replacement rates not related to population need

– Underutilised, effective interventions: exercise, weight loss

– Unnecessary orthopaedic referrals

• Role of shared decision making– Alternative to severity thresholds in managing access and

addressing unwarranted variation

– Clinicians broadly supportive but not widely implemented

– Method of implementation of clinical guidance

Clinical

Guidelines

Shared

Decision

Making

Relevant NICE guidelines:

• Osteoarthritis: care and management in adults. CG177. February 2014

• Patient Experience in adult NHS services: improving the experience of care for people using adult NHS services. CG138. February 2012

Project outline: three phases

1. “Diagnostic analysis”

2. Development and implementation of

quality improvement interventions

3. Evaluation

Into Practice Guide

Taking today’s insights forward into your

organisation: when, where, how and what

Step 1: Choose a priority area for implementing NICE guidelines

or using quality standards and write an action that you want to take

in your organisation.

Step 2: Write:

When you will do it (be specific)

Where you will do it (be specific)

How you will do it (be specific)

What help or support might you require from

• The organisation

• The AHSN

• NICE

• Others eg training and development, strategic clinical networks

etc 10 mins

The best laid plans…Now, imagine yourself enacting that when, when and how

plan.

Can you envisage anything preventing you from doing it?

How would you feasibly address that barrier?

Write:

IF barrier __________________________ occurs

THEN I WILL ________________________ to ensure

I can enact my plan10 mins

Then spend 10 mins discussing with the person next to you.
