“..we have to accelerate the adoption and full implementation of best and evidence-based practice in all settings all of the time – there can no longer be any justification for not doing this.
Paul Williams letter to Chief Executives, launching 1000 Lives Plus. March 2010.
1000 Lives Plus – Reducing harm, waste and variation.

Why is this difficult?
“Evidence-based therapies that prevent morbidity and death are often not translated into clinical practice. One reason for this is that research often neglects to look at how to deliver therapies to patients. Consequently,errors of omission are prevalent and cause substantial preventable harm”
BMJ, Oct 2008, Vol 337

1000 Lives Plus and the Strategy for NHS Wales - “ National Purpose, Local Action”.
How clinically led service improvement will be driven..• For national improvement priorities, HB’s will assemble a clinically-
led team.• Teams from across Wales come together for peer learning.• Teams agree objectives internally and with HB management.• Teams agree measures to track process.• Teams collect information to track internal trends and to compare
progress between teams.• Team leaders share experience and help each other via site visits
and learning events.

• Be clear who is holding you to account for progress and how this is aligned with your other objectives.
• Being accountable for team progress is about providing support and challenge.
• Monitoring progress needs informal visibility and formal review.• Understanding what is being measured and why.• Always insist on basing conversations around the data.• Understand the importance of testing, implementing reliable
processes, spreading and sustaining changes.• Be alert to words like ‘audit’; ‘pilot’ and ‘roll-out’.

When progress is difficult, the reason is likely to relate to one or more of the following:– Failure of Will e.g. a few strong “blockers,” lack of investment in
training and education, lack of back-up from more senior levels.– Failure of Ideas e.g.Not drawing on the evidence base, or not
participating in Learning Sets.– Failure of Execution e.g. The leader does not have the authority
(as well as the responsibility) to deploy the resources s/he needs. Cross- service links have not been clarified. Competing priorities have not been reconciled. The Model for Improvement is not being used.
