1 Histopathology National QI Programme Annual Workshop 10 May 2016

2 Histopathology National QI Programme Introduction & Update Dr Niall Swan, Chair Histopathology QI Programme Working Group 10 May 2016

3 Vision of National QI Programme A patient centred Quality Improvement framework within each department, which facilitates their routine review of performance and drives improvement, in key quality areas against intelligent targets.

4 Development Stage of Programme Radiology programme 39 Sites collecting Quality Data GI Endoscopy 34 sites collecting & recording data on NQAIS Histopathology programme 32 sites - public & private conducting, collecting & reporting on NQAIS Control Measure Initiation Engagement Stakeholders Design: Guidelines Data Collection LIS Data Recording NQAIS Roll-out Conducting Recording Reporting on NQAIS Data analysis Target Setting Methodology Targets set Framework set up : Guidelines Quality Data Collection Quality Data Reporting Intelligent Targets set 08/06/2016 4

5 Wisdom hierarchy WISDOM KNOWLEDGE INFORMATION DATA

6 Ongoing Stage of Programme Review by units of their own data on a regular basis against intelligent targets and appropriate learning and actions Quality Improvement by units and shared learning Histopathology programme 32 sites public and private conducting, collecting and reporting on NQAIS 08/06/2016 Annual review of Guidelines, documents, Indicators, intelligent targets, support for quality improvement and learning Relevant national framework Specialists can review their own data and act Opportunity to share learning on improvements Improved patient care 6

7 Current Status of Histopathology Programme 32 labs conducting quality activity and recording data First data report only included 15 labs Targets set for 22 out of 50 key quality indicators (minimum 12 months data required) National Aggregate Data Reports 2014, & 2016 What the hospital sees? Laboratory Hospital management What the programme sees? What difference has it made? Challenges Opportunities e.g. RCQPS research collaborative, improvements, publications

8 Data improvements The timeliness, volume and accuracy of data is improving see compliance slides. Completion of Memorandums of Understanding by hospital management seems to support departments overall. Sharing of reports and data in context outside laboratories with Clinical Directors, hospital management, etc increases profile of histopathology facilitates further quality improvement. Help to share learning through the programme and hospital groups Areas for development Areas of best practice

15 QA to QI Lloyd Provost Ref: The Health Care Data Guide, learning from data for improvement. Lloyd P. Provost & Sandra Murray. Jossey Bass

16 Group 1 follows rounds 1 and 2 methodology where measures are defined and data is appropriate for national target setting. Group 2 includes quality areas where definitions are agreed but no national data has been collected. Future targets are settable but only when sufficient data is available for review. A minimum of 12 months data will be collected. Group 3 comprises quality areas where the type of data being recorded is not applicable for national target setting as agreed definitions for these KQIs are not currently achievable. A recommendation only is being suggested for local quality improvement activity. Group 4 consists of quality areas where insufficient national data is being collected through the QI programme. Some of these quality areas are captured through other routes e.g. INAB and EQA. The updated guidelines will reflect this. Group 5 sets out new key quality areas following refinement of initial measure and maturing of the data. Recommended codes will be circulated and data collected prior to any potential target setting.
