4 1 Introduction Purpose The purpose of this document is to specify a minimum high level measure or indicator for healthcare services in Scotland on do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DNACPR) decision-making and communication. An indicator is a measure of an outcome which demonstrates delivery of person-centred, safe and effective healthcare. An indicator should also promote understanding, comparison and improvement of that care. Scope The indicator supports implementation of the NHSScotland Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) Integrated Adult Policy 1 and the NHSScotland Resuscitation Planning Policy for Children and Young People (under 16 years): Children and Young Persons Acute Deterioration Management (CYPADM) 2. The indicator applies to: all NHS territorial boards with responsibility for delivering resuscitation services Scottish Ambulance Service State Hospitals Board for Scotland NHS National Waiting Times Centre, and all resuscitation services provided in primary, secondary and tertiary care settings, whether directly provided by the NHS board or secured on behalf of the NHS board. The indicator does not apply directly to the following organisations, but may have implications for them: Healthcare Improvement Scotland NHS Education for Scotland NHS Health Scotland, and NHS National Services Scotland. The indicator has highlighted the integral part the DNACPR policy plays in many other national initiatives and workstreams, including the following: Electronic Palliative Care Summary 3 and Key Information Summary (KIS) 4 advance and anticipatory care planning palliative and end of life care indicators 5 Reshaping Care for Older People 6 Person-Centred Health and Care Collaborative Hospital Standardised Mortality Ratios (HSMR) 7, and patient safety work for deteriorating patients in acute health care 8. 2
5 Data reporting DNACPR indicator The DNACPR implementation group has developed a data collection form so that healthcare providers can record relevant data against the indicator. The form is available from: It is expected that healthcare providers will use existing local mechanisms (such as clinical governance and quality improvement forums) to collect and analyse the data, discuss areas that need further attention and develop improvement plans to action them. Healthcare providers may find it helpful to liaise with: DNACPR leads (see Appendix 1) resuscitation leads executive leads for palliative and end of life care (see Appendix 2), and clinical audit departments and patient safety leads. This will ensure an integrated and consistent approach to the implementation of the policies 1, 2 and improvement in resuscitation practice and anticipatory care planning over time. These collaborations will allow data to be accessed from ongoing supported workstreams such as Liverpool Care Pathway (or equivalent) projects, HSMR audits, Scottish Patient Safety Programme audits, and the Palliative Care Direct Enhanced Service (DES). Healthcare providers should use consecutive cardiac arrest audit data for Area of Improvement 1 and a sample audit approach for Areas of Improvement 2 and 3. 3
6 2 Background In 2009, the Scottish Government Health Directorates convened a national steering group to develop an integrated adult policy for DNACPR decision-making and communication of those decisions. This project was prompted by the successful implementation in NHS Lothian of the UK s first fully integrated do not attempt resuscitation (DNAR) policy 9, which supported national good practice guidance in cardiopulmonary resuscitation decision-making and communication across all patient care settings. A separate, but closely aligned, national group was also convened to develop a policy for children and young people. In 2010, the Scottish Government published the NHSScotland Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) Integrated Adult Policy 1 and the NHSScotland Resuscitation Planning Policy for Children and Young People (under 16 years): Children and Young Persons Acute Deterioration Management (CYPADM) 2. Healthcare Improvement Scotland was tasked with supporting the implementation of both policies 1, 2 in collaboration with NHS boards, NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and Scottish Partnership for Palliative care (SPPC). In 2011, Healthcare Improvement Scotland reconvened the DNACPR adult policy group of 2009 as the DNACPR implementation group which included representatives from children and young people s services (see Appendix 3 for group membership). The group developed the DNACPR indicator to support and assess the ongoing implementation of the DNACPR and CYPADM policies across Scotland. Development of the DNACPR indicator The DNACPR implementation group, chaired by Dr Juliet Spiller, Consultant in Palliative Medicine, Marie Curie Hospice Edinburgh and NHS Lothian, developed and published a draft DNACPR indicator in The group agreed two rounds (6 months each) of testing the draft indicator to ensure it was robust and fit for purpose. The first phase of testing the draft DNACPR indicator was completed in June This provided an opportunity to check the validity of the indicator, gauge feasibility of data collection and engage more widely with the clinical community. The second phase of testing, focusing on establishing a baseline of Scotland-wide data, was completed in April In June 2013, the implementation group met to consider the feedback from the second phase of testing and to review and finalise the indicator. Patient, carer and public engagement The two key policies 1, 2 underpinning the indicator were developed following extensive engagement with patients, carers and interested members of the public

8 4 DNACPR indicator Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) could, theoretically, be used on every individual prior to death. Therefore, it is essential to identify patients for whom cardiopulmonary arrest represents the terminal event in their illness and for whom CPR will fail and/or is inappropriate. The DNACPR indicator measures whether there has been a reduction in the number of inappropriate CPR attempts. Rationale Implementation of the NHSScotland DNACPR and CYPADM policies should prompt and facilitate the decision-making process around resuscitation status and the appropriate communication of that decision. These policies facilitate person-centred end of life care planning and should result in fewer patients receiving inappropriate CPR treatment, irrespective of their clinical setting. How to measure the indicator The indicator is made up of four areas of improvement. Area of Improvement 1 All resuscitation attempts are carried out in line with the national resuscitation guidelines 14 of the Resuscitation Council (UK) and DNACPR or CYPADM policy Numerator 1.1 Number of CPR attempts for which a DNACPR form was completed Denominator 1.1 Number of all adult CPR attempts Data source CPR records, for example cardiac arrest or resuscitation databases Exclusions None Numerator 1.2 Number of resuscitations for which a CYPADM form was completed Denominator 1.2 Number of all child and young person full resuscitation attempts Data source CPR records, for example cardiac arrest or resuscitation databases Exclusions Data collection will identify and exclude clinical situations where an easily reversible cause for the arrest has been identified * and where clinical judgement to attempt CPR may be appropriate despite the presence of a DNACPR form *Reversible cause for the arrest may include choking, anaphylaxis and general anaesthetics Numerator 1.3 Number of unsuccessful CPR attempts terminated within 10 minutes Denominator 1.3 Number of all unsuccessful CPR attempts Data source CPR records, for example cardiac arrest or resuscitation databases Exclusions Appropriateness of CPR attempt to be confirmed by review It is also recognised that not every inappropriate CPR attempt will be terminated within 10 minutes. This information is collected in cardiac arrest data. 6
9 Area of Improvement 2 Numerator 2.1 DNACPR indicator All recognised expected deaths i have the DNACPR/CYPADM decision documented in line with national policy Number of recognised expected deaths with a documented DNACPR decision or CYPADM form Denominator 2.1 Number of recognised expected deaths Data source Liverpool Care Pathway (or equivalent) audit, HSMR audit, Global Trigger Tool, Palliative Care DES, Palliative Care Expected Deaths audit Exclusions None Notes i These are patients that are recognised by the clinical teams as imminently dying (within the next few days). Data collection: sample approach. Area of Improvement 3 NHSScotland DNACPR or CYPADM form is completed correctly for every DNACPR decision Numerator 3.1 Number of correctly completed DNACPR/CYPADM forms Denominator 3.1 Number of DNACPR decisions Data source DNACPR/CYPADM audit, case note audit Exclusions None Notes A correctly completed DNACPR/CYPADM form will be legible and include the following information: patient demographic data, signature of appropriate senior clinician and review timeframe (actual or estimated and not indefinite ). Data collection: sample approach. Area of Improvement 4 Numerator 4.1 All advance/anticipatory care plan (ACP) templates must include a field about resuscitation status/dnacpr/cypadm decision Number of advance/anticipatory care plan templates including resuscitation status/dnacpr/cypadm decision Denominator 4.1 Number of advance/anticipatory care plan templates Data source Palliative care/long term condition leads Exclusions None Note This refers to the ACP template (such as would be shared with KIS) not the total number of ACPs in place. 7

14 Appendix 4: About Healthcare Improvement Scotland Healthcare Improvement Scotland was launched on 1 April This health body was created by the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 and marks a change in the way the quality of healthcare across Scotland will be supported nationally. Our vision Our vision is to deliver excellence in improving the quality of the care and experience of every person in Scotland every time they access healthcare. Our purpose Our organisation has key responsibility to help NHSScotland and independent healthcare providers to: deliver high quality, evidence-based, safe, effective and person-centred care, and scrutinise services to provide public assurance about the quality and safety of that care. What we do We are building on work previously done by NHS Quality Improvement Scotland and the Care Commission, and our organisation includes: Healthcare Environment Inspectorate Scottish Health Council Scottish Health Technologies Group, and Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN). We also support the work of the Scottish Medicines Consortium and take a lead role in co-ordinating the work of the Scottish Patient Safety Programme. Our work programme supports Scottish Government priorities, in particular those arising from The Healthcare Quality Strategy for NHSScotland. Our work encompasses all three areas of the integrated cycle of improvement (see Figure 1) with patient focus and public involvement at the heart of all that we do. The integrated cycle of improvement involves: developing evidence-based advice, guidance and standards for effective clinical practice driving and supporting improvement of healthcare practice, and providing assurance about the quality and safety of healthcare through scrutiny and reporting on performance. 12
