This has likely been contributed to by the commencement of new junior doctors. There has been a slight improvement on August data. CQUIN Target Overall Compliance Individually Assessed Latest performance % Agreed corrective actions 1. MSKN/DDT Clinical Director monitors directorate speciality compliance/ actions via speciality performance meetings. Distribution of monthly VTE patient level data figures will increase to weekly to each consultant from September 23 rd. League table of speciality performance established to create competition to drive improvement. 2. DDT/ MSKN Clinical Director will identify the need for discussion of VTE at consultant ward rounds via Heads of Service. 3. VTE performance continues to be discussed at performance meetings with DMT and at October Directors roup. DCD s charged with continued work with their specialties to increase individual compliance 4. Patient Safety Newsletter (Sept) highlighted 1. requirement for assessment and 2. learning from RCAs around contributory factors to VTE events. 5.

Patient admitted with pneumonia. Known to be colonised with MRSA (recently an in patient in another hospital). Non adherence to screening and decolonisation protocol in relation to screening all wounds and commencing decolonisation treatment on admission for patients admitted from other healthcare facilities. Admission screen was negative, but positive from leg wound taken at day 4 of admission. Leg ulcer did not appear to be clinically infected and had not changed appearance during admission. Decolonisation treatment commenced but not all doses signed for by staff. Post Infection Review discussed at ICO in order to share learning across all directorates ( September 27 th 2013). Clinical Leads identifying whether prescription charts ( and administration of medications) are reviewed as part of Accountability around the Clock nursing handover. Clinical Leads identifying whether ward teams are aware that Nursing Assistants ( under supervision of Registered Nurse) can sign prescription charts when decolonisation treatment given and reinforcing this is appropriate practice.

Some delay in obtaining specialised wound decolonisation dressings for leg wound as not stocked routinely in pharmacy. Microbiology identify that MRSA extremely difficult to clear from leg ulcers. No obvious source for the bacteraemia. The panel concluded that there were 2 possibilities 1) aspiration pneumonia or 2) from long standing leg ulcer. Specialised antibacterial wound dressings are now stocked at both campuses ( 14/09/2013). A Standard Operating Procedure is in development for dressing leg ulcers and leg ulcer infection ( which will include MRSA) with anticipated rollout in November eneral reminder to staff with regard to admission Screening and Decolonisation protocol ( version 9) Trust wide MRSA Bacteraemia Reduction Action Plan in place and actions on-going.

6 Apr-12 May-12 Jun-12 Jul-12 Aug-12 Sep-12 Oct-12 Nov-12 Dec-12 Jan-13 Feb-13 Mar-13 Apr-13 Escalation Pages (3/14) Fewer than 74 patients acquire C. Diff in our care (<6 per month) Weekly clinical case reviews by the Infection Prevention and Control doctor have identified no delays in diagnosis or specialist referrals Neither have any incomplete treatments or significant shortcomings in antibiotic use been evident. None of the cases have been secondary, linked, clustered or in outbreaks i.e. from cross infection ( one C Diff ribotyping result is outstanding for September) and there have been no C.difficile deaths. We have made substantial reduction in C. Difficile over the past 5 years. We have demonstrated that we now have a healthcare environment which is near-free from C. Difficile contamination, and that cross-infection with C. Difficile has been virtually eliminated. We have wiped out completely the 3 hospital outbreaks strains (ribotypes 027, 001 and 106), and the pattern of C. Difficile infection we now see is virtually identical to that seen in community onset cases. Our antibiotic stewardship is of high standard and continuing to improve, and we design our antibiotic guidelines around antibiotics that minimise C. Difficile risks. We have agreed with CC to focus on drivers for improvement for any potential further reductions (rather than solely target numbers). C diff cases lower year to date than in 2012/13 ( 55 v 70) There is a highly active C. Difficile programme at NUH which aims to reduce C. Difficile infection to the absolute minimum, including 2 separate weekly meetings looking in detail at each case in terms of epidemiology, risk factors, clustering, antibiotic use, treatment, and overall management. This is backed up by a comprehensive C. Difficile action plan New targets (quarterly increase in compliance level from Q2) for hand hygiene have been agreed and this has been rolled out and is monitored through ICO. We have agreed with commissioner colleagues a more sophisticated approach to measurement of our performance which focuses on the drivers for improvement namely an enhanced root cause analysis process, a rigorous approach to hand hygiene compliance and a limit to the number of cases caused by cross infection. We have demonstrated the achievement of all these criteria for quarter one performance. The trust and Clinical Commissioning roup colleagues have developed an approach to ensure the automatic reinvestment of 80% of potential financial penalties, on the provision that the criteria mentioned above are met. This will be transacted on a quarterly basis, with intentions for investing the remaining 20% to be discussed following the published Q3 performance. The Trust is in discussions with NHS England area team colleagues to replicate this approach across our specialised services contract.

7 Apr-13 Apr-13 Escalation Pages (4/14) Unvalidated Stage 2 Total Pressure Ulcers Investigation into the number of stage 2 unvalidated pressure ulcers has shown that staff appear to be over-reporting in that they are reporting skin issues that are not ulcers and will be later removed from the numbers. There is also a degree of duplication in the reports. Unvalidated Stage 3 Total Pressure Ulcers Work in being undertaken to review reporting and to help staff differentiate between stage 2 ulcers and other skin issues. Work continues to focus on skin assessments and repositioning of patients. The 'react to red' campaign continues. The sskin bundle continues to embed. Standard 93% Sep YTD Forecast R This target will not be met by year end Jenny Leggott Standard 93% Sep YTD Forecast R There are 11 RCAs outstanding. From the validated reports of stage 3 pressure ulcers, 4 have been removed as they were not stage 3 pressure damage, following RCA 3 are unavoidable, 2 pressure ulcers were avoidable 3 incidents reported during September have been raised by the community after the patients were discharged from NUH and date back to June / July RCAs show that avoidable pressure ulcers continue to be due to missed steps in care plans; skin assessments and repositioning of patients not having been performed in a timely manner. The new sskin bundle is in place and continues to embed. RCAs are reviewed at the weekly Pressure Ulcer roup. In addition subsequent RCA action plans now require formal discussion and sign off at the PUO chaired by the CEO or Deputy Director of Nursing. All actions plan are managed to tight timescales. Wards where there is no evidence of learning or improvement will be asked to attend PUO so that the group can understand any issues and help with resolutions This target will not be met by year end Jenny Leggott 6

8 Escalation Pages (5/14) % of CAS alerts on target with delivery timescales NUH process for managing alerts;- All alerts are robustly logged and reviewed at either ORC or CRC on a monthly basis. Where there are any gaps in delivery to fully meet the requirements of the alert, these are highlighted and actions agreed ( with timescales) to rectify. Where sufficient assurance is not received, key leads report to either committee for further discussions and as necessary support with actions to meet compliance and recorded in the minutes of the meetings. To further strengthen the arrangements any alerts which are likely to go over the due dates will be formally escalated to Directors roup (D) as part of the update reports from the Sub-committees of D. In September 14 alerts were due for completion, 13 of which were actioned within agreed timeframes. One alert is outstanding (NPSA/2009/PSA004 Part B All epidural, spinal (intrathecal) and regional infusions and boluses are performed with devices that use safer connectors that will not connect with intravenous luer connectors or IV infusion spikes. Deadline 1st April 2013 (as previously reported). There are a number of aspects to this alert, i)administration of medicine by epidurals- there are no non luer giving sets available for the type of infusion devices currently used at NUH. This necessitates NUH changing its infusion devices. ii) Caudal needles used to inject into the lower epidural space must have a non luer fitting. Currently there are no non luer caudle needles available nationally, iii) Luer locks for nerve block injections. Equipment to meet this aspect not yet available for procurement ( anticipate in next 6 months). iv) No non luer fittings available nationally for extra- ventricular drains. The Trust continues to progress this alert (as far as possible) led by a consultant anaesthetist The Trust Lead is discussing progress on national solutions with Professor David Cousins, National Lead NHS Commissioning Board The alert has been broken down into key parts and NUH aim to adopt each part when equipment and resources for implementation become available. Procurement tender process underway for infusion pumps ( 2-3 month process) to meet epidural requirement. Staff training will be required (around 6 months) NUH is dedicated to adopting the NPSA Alert in its entirety, but are currently hampered as some of the equipment is not yet available (example caudal needles, luer locks for nerve block injections and ventricular drains). Robust competency assessment in place for consultants and SPR administrating via ventricular route. CRC continues to monitor progress carefully against a detailed action plan. Current Risk assessment score of 10 agreed at the Clinical Risk Committee. The open alert is a national issue.

Jenny Leggott Standard 93% Sep YTD Forecast This is an improvement target based on performance from Q1. In a number of out-patient areas patients are not attending just for a consultation. Many patients are attending for a scheduled treatment or procedure of some description which can present challenges in terms of managing a patient s pathway through the department as it can synchronising hospital transport. For many patients there can be a number of unforeseen preparatory and diagnostic tests. ED expected time to be seen displayed. We are looking into the best way to update patients in clinic 1 area H&N: In all of the out-patient areas staff are instructed to update patients and apologise for delays at 15 minute intervals.

The FOIA places 2 separate duties on NUH as a public authority to respond to requests: 1. To inform the applicant whether NUH holds the information falling within the scope of their request; 2. To respond by providing information normally within 20 working days The FOI Act is enforced by the Information Commissioner who can, where authorities repeatedly or seriously fail to meet the requirements of the legislation (or codes of practice), can take the following action: conduct assessments to check organisations are complying with the Act; serve information notices requiring organisations to provide the ICO with specified information within a certain time period; issue undertakings committing an authority to a particular course of action to improve its compliance; serve enforcement notices where there has been a breach of the Act, requiring organisations to take (or refrain from taking) specified steps in order to ensure they comply with the law; issue practice recommendations specifying steps the public authority should take to ensure conformity to the codes; issue decision notices detailing the outcome of the ICO s investigation to publically highlight particular issues with an authority s handling of a specific request; prosecute those who commit criminal offences under the Act. Description of Processes FOI requests are received centrally and allocated to the nominated FOI Lead for the Directorate or Department. FOI leads are advised of an internal deadline date which is 7 days in advance of the 20-day deadline. Continuous progress chasing s and telephone calls commence a few days before the internal deadline until the signed off information is made available and approved by the Records Manager and or the Associate Director of Communications as appropriate.

15 Escalation Pages (12/14) % of Data Protection Act (DPA) Subject Access Requests (SARS) processed within 40 days Standard 93% Sep YTD Forecast Background information SARs are requests for photocopies usually of patient s paper-based health records or copies of computer data made within the terms of the DPA. The DPA places a legal duty on NUH to process and disclose records for such requests with 40 days of receipt of a request. The vast majority of NUH SARs are submitted by solicitors acting for patients in 3 rd party litigation and relate to accidents, e.g. actions against employers, drivers etc. Numbers of SAR s received are subject to fluctuations and an unexpected temporary large increase as seen earlier this year in an action being taken by a large quantity of individuals all requiring SAR from NUH has a potential to cause a delay in processing. The DPA is enforced by the Information Commissioner who has available the following options to change the behaviour of organisations and individuals that collect, use and keep personal information: serve information notices requiring organisations to provide the Information Commissioner s Office with specified information within a certain time period; issue undertakings committing an organisation to a particular course of action in order to improve its compliance; serve enforcement notices and stop now orders where there has been a breach, requiring organisations to take (or refrain from taking) specified steps in order to ensure they comply with the law; conduct consensual assessments (audits) to check organisations are complying; serve assessment notices to conduct compulsory audits to assess whether organisations processing of personal data follows good practice (data protection only); issue monetary penalty notices, requiring organisations to pay up to 500,000 for serious breaches of the Data Protection Act prosecute those who commit criminal offences under the Act.

Some of these studies require labour intensive follow up (ranging from 2 to 10 years in some rare cancer studies). At the same time, there has not been a review of the resource allocated in directorates to support both existing and new studies. Poor recruitment is most likely the result of finite research resources and it appears that the majority of research time is taken up supporting patients already recruited in clinical trials rather than screening for new patients. The workforce change in pharmacy is impacting substantially on delays with cancer and clinical haematology trials recruiting patients. Radiology and medical physics remain a substantial cause of delays: Scheduled R&I meetings with DCS management were cancelled due to the change in CD therefore R&I currently have no escalation route within DCS. Performance management: R&I did not have access to Trent CLRN data prior to June 2013 in order to conduct meaningful performance management across the entire NUH research portfolio. We have now completed a detailed analysis of the data and are contacting clinicians who are not recruiting to target to investigate the reasons in detail and discuss a corrective plan of action. Action by 20 October Maria Koufali Escalation of performance issue to DCS CD Action by October Brian Thomson Directorate engagement: CDs and Ms are provided with monthly performance scorecards and with the support of R&I are developing improvement plans for recruitment. Action by 5 th Nov 2013 Maria Koufali Review of Trent CLRN resource allocation: in partnership with the CDs and Ms we will develop a reviewed bid to Trent CLRN for resource allocation for 2014/15 with the objective to support both existing studies and recruit to new ones.

Based in their responses, patients have been categorised into one of three groups: Promoters (Extremely likely), Passives (Likely), and Detractors (Neither Likely nor Unlikely, Unlikely, Not at all, Don t Know). The number of Detractors is then subtracted from the number of Promoters and divided by the number of responses.

The reason for the drop in compliance is not entirely clear but seems to coincide with the new trainee medic cohort starting in August. The Sepsis CQUIN team have now completed a number of improvement projects which we hope will get us back to where we were (and beyond): 1. A new sepsis website is now available on the intranet, offering educational information and links to other helpful sites. 2. The sepsis e-learning package is now live on NUH Learning. This will be used initially as a remedial training tool for areas that are under-performing or where an individual case is poorly managed. This package is also being made available to nursing and medical students through our sepsis education programme. 1,162,900 Number of X-Rays reported on within Timely X-Ray results to Ps 3 days. by Q4-90% 60% 70% 3 days Number of X-Rays reported on within CQ008 5 days Number of X-Rays requested ,084 3 day compliance 92.7% 94.7% 100.0% 85% Timely X-Ray results to Ps 5 days.
