87 Quality and Safety; sharing our learning Open disclosure A framework for governance of quality and safety was developed in collaboration with health service providers, the framework is made up of vision, principles and matrix of structures and processes that support clinical governance development set out below. The main purpose of this report is to consolidate the learning and make core recommendations for health service providers, policy makers and commissioners to inform their own specific actions plans. Quality does not happen by accident across this initiative there was tremendous learning which is captured in the report. Some of our important insights are: Active listening with patients and staff - understanding the experience of patients (what matters to them) and what motivates staff is central in creating a quality culture. Real time measurement prompts wise decisions which lead to the need for good quality data and transparency Terminology matters in avoiding confusion - the term clinical governance was seen by some as management speak - therefore, we are proposing the term quality and safety and specifically governance for quality and safety. The single most important obligation for any health system is patient safety and improving the quality of care. During the Clinical Governance development initiative practical experience was gained of the structures and processes which are a prerequisite to delivering quality and safety. The recommendations are provided to guide and support (i) health service providers and (ii) policy makers and commissioners in improving care provided across the healthcare system To access the open disclosure national documents and supporting resources, click on the links below ti9clxfw4xg%3d%3d/eng/about/w ho/qualityandpatientsafety/clinical _Governance/CG_docs/SharingOur Learningfinal.pdf?ImportedResourc eid=mk5qhhlpmjiti9clxfw4xg% 3d%3d ety/?importurl= ng/about/who/qualityandpatientsaf ety/nau/open_disclosure/ Guidance for Setting up and Engaging Patients/Service Users on Patient/Service User Councils The experience of care, as perceived by the patients and service users, is a key factor in health care quality and safety. International studies show that bringing the perspectives of patients, service users and families directly into the planning, delivery and evaluation of health care and working in partnership with patients and families improves the quality and safety of health care and patient and staff experience.

In any case, each issue warrants consideration irrespective of the number of mentions; important issues require attention even if they are not mentioned frequently. The Listening Meetings encouraged participants to speak about their experiences of the healthcare system, be they positive or negative. Although the majority of comments were negative in tone, there were also quite a number of positive comments about aspects of the health services. Both positive and negative comments are presented in the relevant places in the report. cy_unit/listening_to_older_peopl e_report_2015.pdf?importedresou rceid=fbrkrl4w25alxxr9em%2f z4q%3d%3d Nursing & Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI): 88

91 Office of the Nursing & Midwifery Services Director Clinical Strategy & Programmes Directorate Dr Steevens Hospital Dublin 8. Tel: Fax: Mobile DISCLAIMER FOR THE PROVISION OF EDUCATION/TRAINING BY CENTRES OF NURSE & MIDWIFERY EDUCATION Dear Director, You may be aware that my office has sought clarification around a number of issues relating to the area of education/training provision by the HSE/voluntary organisations to healthcare staff employed in the private sector. In this regard the Director of the State Claims Agency has confirmed that the Clinical Indemnity Scheme will indemnify the HSE in circumstances where it has provided education to a staff member employed in the private sector and where there is an allegation, arising in the context of a claim in negligence for personal injuries, that such educational advice contributed to or caused the occurrence of the personal injury. On the advice of the State Claims Agency separate legal advice was sought by the ONMSD in relation to limiting potential liability to the HSE. The attached disclaimer for the provision of education/training by the CNMEs applies to nurses, midwives and other healthcare staff who are engaged in a clinical environment whether public and /or private. The disclaimer should form a fundamental part of the terms and conditions upon which the HSE provides the education/training. The disclaimer has been drafted so as to make clear that the education/training programmes have an educational purpose and are designed to supplement (and not replace) the professional responsibilities of every nurse and midwife. It is not required to be signed by participants; however it is necessary to ensure that it is communicated clearly in respect of all education/training programmes. If a person disagrees with the disclaimer being a term and condition of the education/training programme, then it should be explained to the individual that the disclaimer is non negotiable. It should also be noted that the HSE does not have statutory power to charge its employees, agency nurses, practice nurses or other individuals in respect of education/training programmes provided to those individuals. Accordingly a risk exists that any charges applied by the HSE in this regard are beyond its powers and thus, may be liable to be repaid. Therefore any CNME (HSE) which has imposed charges for education/training provision must now discontinue this practice. Thank you for your ongoing support and please do not hesitate to contact my office if you require further clarification. Yours Sincerely, Dr Michael Shannon Nursing& Midwifery Services Director Assistant National Director, Clinical Strategy & Programmes Directorate, Health Service Executive Adjunct Professor, UCD School of Nursing and Midwifery and Health Systems 91
