14 Health & Social Care Budget (England) Health & social care expenditure associated with malnutrition was 19.6 billion (15% of the total expenditure on health & social care)

15 2% 3 million malnourished 5% 93% The Costs of Malnutrition Community people with little or no contact with services Community people in contact with services Care Homes Total UK costs of approx 20 billion (2015) associated with malnutrition across health and social care NICE Guidance on Nutrition Support- 5th highest cost savings compared to savings calculated for all pieces of NICE guidance Hospital NIHR/BAPEN full cost/benefit analysis (2015) 300 to 400K savings per 100,000 population by implementing simple NICE nutritional measures in hospitals and care homes (largest savings in hospital)

21 Key Outcomes To achieved by March 2018 Leadership Understand the local burden of malnutrition Review existing service provision Commission services that: Identify at risk populations Implement appropriate interventions Connect hospital & community services to deliver a nutrition & hydration pathway Public awareness of the importance of good nutrition Monitor and evaluate services & outcomes

22 Measuring the Quality of your Nutritional Care How good is your Trust or Care Home?

23 Why has BAPEN developed a new Background measurement tool? Around 30% of patients admitted to UK hospitals are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. Patients who are malnourished have poorer clinical outcomes which improve markedly if proper nutritional care is given, yet our learning from Trusts is that nutritional care continues to be fragmented In part, this may reflect the lack to date of any means of measuring the quality of the nutritional care they provide, despite NICE issuing both Guidance and Quality Standards for Nutritional Support in Adults I understand first-hand the impact nutritional care has on many other areas of an individual s health care. By implementing an effective monitoring process it will potentially have a positive impact on the patient s journey throughout the whole healthcare system which is surely a good thing! Steve Brown, Secretary of PINNT

24 Tick box exercise Problems identified in current approaches Measurement of nutritional care is lagging behind other areas e.g. Cancer, VTE Heavy reliance of measuring nutritional screening using retrospective audits Little if any focus on Accuracy of screening Quality of the nutritional care plan developed Monitoring of the implementation of the care plan (beyond poorly completed food record charts and fluid balance charts) Lack of focus on re-screening Poor measurement of patient experience of nutritional care Even poorer measurement of nutritional outcomes Poor understanding of the barriers (e.g. lack of equipment/nursing time)

25 Why has BAPEN developed a new measurement tool? The focus in healthcare is shifting from standalone audits to quality improvement informed by audits Data collection was paper based One week per year selected for national nutrition screening audit Transfer of data to electronic database by hand Analysis and written report time consuming Pre-2012 Post 2015 Data collection via a web platform Opportunity for frequent data collection Scope for extensive analytics with a nutrition dashboard Instant charting and tracking of data over time using funnel plots, pareto charts and run charts % 60 C e n t r e s % patients 26-50% patients 51-75% patients % patients (N=175) 2008 (N=90) 2010 (N=141) 2011 (N= 147 ) Nutritional Care Dashboard

26 Aim To design a web-based, simple national nutritional care tool to enable clinicians and organisations to measure the different elements that are required for the delivery of good nutritional care (screening, care plans, outcomes and patient experience) in order to identify where local improvements are required

27 What does the new tool measure? Organisational details Demographics Nutritional care Organisation name Ward/unit Speciality Date of collection Professional group undertaking the survey Age group Feeding route Setting Diagnosis Screening (including score on admission) Re-screening Nutritional care plan documented and implemented Current weight Unplanned weight loss Height Acute illness AND has there been, or likely to be, no nutritional intake for more than 5 days Subjective criteria Barriers to nutritional screening Patient Experience questions Have you received all the food and drink or nutritional care you have needed? Have you received assistance to eat and drink when you have needed help?

28 What are the benefits of using the new tool in your practice? The first tool nationally available that will enable you to measure the quality of nutritional care delivered to your patients and to track improvements over time Provision of robust assurance to your trust board, through the nutritional care dashboard Point of care measures facilitate delivering improvements whilst the patient is still in your care Completely voluntary you decide the frequency and scale of use If used across an organisation will highlight areas of excellent practice and areas where improvements are needed It is free to all NHS and Social Care Organisations in the UK Contains patient experience questions, as well as screening, care planning and outcomes Online e- learning modules to help interpret the data collected

29 Steps to using the tool? Step 1 Speak to your Chief Nurse or MD or Nutrition Steering Committee Chair Step 4 Create an account: set a username and password Step 7 Decide which wards or areas will participate in data collection and who will collect the data Step 2 Agree that your organisation wishes to participate Step 5 Complete the Registration Form Step 8 Select a date to begin Step 3 Agree who will act as administrator Step 6 Read the User Guide on the website Step 9 Collect the data Step 10 Review the data collected using online analytics

30 Focus areas- the core dashboard 1. % received all the food and drink and/or nutritional care they have needed (Patient experience question 1) 2. % received all assistance to eat and drink they have needed (Patient experience question 2) 3. MUST on admission 4. MUST rescreening 5. Patients at risk of malnutrition 6. Patients with >5% weight loss in hospital
