1 Clinical Audit Can Quality Care Metrics empower nurses to demonstrate quality care through documentation? Johanna Downey RGN, RM, RPHN, NMPD Officer.
2 Objectives: To Understand the What, Why, Who, When, Where and How of the Quality Care-Metrics (QCMs) Initiative To identify the importance of documenting care provided To identify the QCMs currently in operation in the Public Health Nursing Service To identify means of reaching quality documentation practices To identify the National Plan for the Quality Care-Metrics Initiative
3 What are Quality Care-Metrics?.are measures of the quality of Nursing and Midwifery clinical care processes in healthcare settings in Ireland, aligned to evidenced-based standards and agreed through national consensus HSE (2016) What gets measured gets managed! (Peter Drucker)
4
5 METRICS IDENTIFIED-QCM Research Project PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING / COMMUNITY NURSING: 1. Pressure ulcer prevention and management 2. Care plan development 3. Wound care management 4. Professional and ethical demeanour 5. Patient / Family / Carer experience 6. Health Promotion 7. Medication therapy safety 8. Maternal surveillance 9. Infant nutrition 10. Healthcare associated infection and prevention 11. Continence assessment 12. Child & Family Needs Assessment 13. Child Development Surveillance 14. Child Protection 15. Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults and Older Persons
6 KPI s versus QCMS... What s the Difference KPI s measure outcomes (HIQA, 2013) Quality Care-Metrics measure process leading to outcomes many outcomes, by their nature, are delayed, and if they occur after care is completed, information about them is not easy to obtain.it is not possible to say precisely what went wrong unless the antecedent process is scrutinized (Donabedian, 1988)
7 Where did QCMs Come From? Introduced by Chief Nursing Officer Mandie Sunderland (NHS) in the Heart of England Foundation Trust Aimed to increase patient safety and promote quality care following an increase in complaints, falls, pressure ulcers and medication errors. Results indicated a significant improvement in patient safety and a decrease in falls, pressure ulcers and medication errors.
8 Why Implement QCMs? Provides opportunities for nurses/midwives to deliver a standard of care that is safe, evidenced based and congruent with legislative and national policies Establishing good processes will improve the standard of care and create good outcomes for Service Users/patients/clients Metric data will identify areas of good practice which must be celebrated, it will also identify areas where improvement is required
9 Why Implement QCMs? HSE apologies over Baby deaths. Aras Attracta. Maternity Services.

11 Measurement Improves Quality Measurement of care practices has been identified as playing an integral role in quality improvement and helps to promote positive change in care delivery (Donabedian, 1980, Campbell et al., 2002, HIQA, 2013). REMEMBER The standard of care you walk past is the standard of care you accept, and what you accept you promote
12 How to Report on QCMs Agreed Standard Measurement Score 90%-100%= Green 80%-89% = Amber 79%-0% = Red Aim to have all services green for each Metric
13 Summary Report
14 Importance of Documenting care provided Healthcare records provide evidence about care and treatment patients receive Health records are clinical tools enabling continuity of care and appropriate decision making about future care and treatment. If the quality of care provided is questioned, documentation is essential for any investigation or review. Health records provide evidence that care is meeting quality and safety standards. (College of Registered Nurses of Nova Scotia, 2012, Oates, 2014, NMBI, 2015)
15 Nursing Documentation Assessments Care Plans Progress Notes Letters/Referrals Written Communication Between Colleagues about Patients Recording of care is not a distinct activity from delivering care, and time should be allocated for documentation as part of patient contact (Oates, 2014) Nurses/Midwives are constrained by the structures used within the organisation (Oates, 2014)
16 Care Plan and Progress Notes The aim of the care plan is to achieve the assessed needs or goals of the person receiving the care Care plans should be individualised, current, accurate and evidence based with specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timed objectives. Progress notes identify the direct care provided, which reflect person centred care and explicitly linked to the individual s care plan. (College of Registered Nurses of Nova Scotia, 2012, Oates, 2014, NMBI, 2015)
17 PHN Service QCMs Documentation QCM Developed combining evidence based literature and expert consensus Nursing Assessment Nursing & Midwifery Care Plan NMBI Guidance Discharge Planning & Caseload Management (Documentation QCM approved by Ms. Mary Wynne ONMSD) Dec 2015
18 PHN Service QCMs A Quality Care Process Metric is a quantifiable measure that captures quality in terms of how (or to what extent) nursing care is being done in relation to an agreed standard. A Quality Care Process Indicator is a quantifiable measure that captures what nurses are doing to provide that care in relation to a specific tool or method.

23 Principles of Good Record Keeping- Nursing Assessment Accuracy of patient identification Date, Time (24hr clock), Sign Reason for Admission and Source of Referral Past History Complete Clinically Indicated Assessments (i.e. MUST, Falls Risk, Barthel) Medication, Allergy Status, Up to date Prescriptions Infection Status (HSE, 2011, College of Registered Nurses of Nova Scotia, 2012, Oates, 2014, HSE, 2015, NMBI, 2015)
24 Principles of Good Record Keeping- Nursing Care Plan Include Patient in Nursing Decisions Document Refusal of Treatment or Service Rationale for Nursing Interventions Discharge Education and Preparation Evaluation of Care Provided Communication with Other Professionals Never Presume Consent, Document Verbal Consent Care Provided and Patient Condition is Up-to-Date (HSE, 2011, College of Registered Nurses of Nova Scotia, 2012, Oates, 2014, HSE, 2015, NMBI, 2015)
25 Principles of Good Record Keeping- NMBI Guidance Legible, Factual and Concise Entries Patient Record Belongs to the Patient and Should be Comprehensible Black Permanent Ink Chronological Order (like a book) Late Entries are Dated, Timed and Signed Approved Terminology and Abbreviations Alterations or Corrections as per NMBI Guidance All Student Entries Countersigned (HSE, 2011, College of Registered Nurses of Nova Scotia, 2012, Oates, 2014, HSE, 2015, NMBI, 2015)
26 Principles of Good Record Keeping-Discharge Management & Caseload Management Preparation of the Patient and/or Carer for Discharge Communication between Providers about the Discharge Assessment and Plan of Care Achievement of Nursing Objectives Accurate, Comprehensive Transfer of Information Patient Education about Self-Management Assessment of Patient Knowledge of Self-Management (Coleman & Boult, 2003, HSE, 2013, HSE, 2015)
