22 Recurring themes Have a learning system Get the basics right Read the notes Ask the questions Talk with the patient Listen to the patient and the patient s family Ensure continuity of care Take responsibility
23 Complaints Management in Primary Care
24 The Value of Complaints
25 Why complain? People complain to: - receive information/explanation - receive an apology - be taken seriously - improve care quality - ensure accountability
26 The value of complaints The consumer s voice for bringing change is a powerful one Managed well complaints can: - help us learn from mistakes - identify gaps in services - provide trend data - restore trust and mend relationships
27 Why a good complaints management system is important Complaints are inevitable Allows complaints to be handled systematically and fairly Ensures consumer input into quality improvement
28 Responding to Complaints
29 Barriers to complaint management: What consumers tell us Response not timely Response did not address all concerns Did not feel heard An apology was not offered Lack of preventative action
30 Case study: Inadequate response to complaint Mrs A complained to a medical centre regarding the treatment of her daughter s migraines Mrs A complained to HDC when she did not hear back from the medical centre in regards to her complaint The medical centre responded directly to Mrs A s complaint 14 working days after receiving it The medical centre acknowledged that the timeliness of this response was not in line with policy
31 Case study: Inadequate response to complaint The Commissioner considered that the delay in acknowledging and responding to Mrs A s complaint was unacceptable In response to this complaint, the medical centre reviewed and revised its complaint handling process The Commissioner asked the medical centre to apologise to Mrs A and her daughter
32 Your obligations under Right 10
33 Complaints management: Professional and contractual requirements PHO Services Agreement requires the PHO to work to implement a consumer complaints process RNZCGP Foundation Standard and Aiming for Excellence require the practice to uphold the patient's right to complain in accordance with Right 10 of the Code
34 Complaints management Recognising signs of dissatisfaction Identifying any misunderstandings Diffusing through open and honest communication Personally interacting with complainant Apologising Seeing complaints as a learning opportunity
35 When receiving a complaint DO: Listen carefully to what the consumer is saying Try to see things from their perspective Remain polite and respectful Express regret or provide information if appropriate Clarify anything you are not sure about Thank the person for their feedback Tell them what will happen next DON T: Be defensive or take it personally Blame others Make assumptions without checking the facts Argue with the consumer Be dismissive it takes courage to complain
36 Apologies A good apology: acknowledges the impact of the incident on the consumer/complainant expresses responsibility conveys regret explains how the incident has resulted in changes in practice
37 Activity: Evaluating apology letters
38 Apologies Things to avoid: Not signed From the lawyer Organisational apologies that ignore individual responsibility Impersonal language/formulaic Blaming the consumer/consumer s family I m sorry you feel that way Stressing the impact of the complaint on the provider Making excuses
39 Learning from Complaints
40 Case study: Changes to practice (C13HDC00031) GP ordered ultrasound of lump in man s groin Man previously had a mole excised, histology report indicated it was melanoma in situ Ultrasound report stated that the lump was probably a reactive lymph note, recommended FNA or followup ultrasound GP told man that lump was benign Five months later lump had grown and become painful Man presented to another GP and was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma
41 Case study: Changes to practice (C13HDC00031) GP was found in breach of the Code for: failing to tell the man about the equivocal nature of the ultrasound report failing to adequately consider differential diagnoses failing to organise structured follow-up of the man Adverse comment was made about the standard of the GP s documentation
42 Case study: Changes to practice (C13HDC00031) The GP advised HDC that following this complaint he had: discussed his treatment of the man in a peer review meeting and with senior staff reviewed literature and attended a seminar on the diagnosis and management of melanoma reflected on his use of automatic keys started a log book for minor procedures attended a workshop on risk management, shared decisionmaking and managing adverse outcomes HDC recommended that the GP audit his clinical records to identify any patients that may require follow-up and have not received it. HDC also recommended that the Medical Council consider a review of the GP s practice
43 Wider learnings: Delayed diagnosis of Cancer Analysis of complaints in which expert clinical advisor considered that primary care management had contributed to delayed diagnosis The factors leading to a delayed diagnosis most commonly identified by our expert were: the cancer presenting with non-specific or atypical symptoms; poor communication with secondary care; appropriate referrals not being made; inappropriate reliance on negative test results; and the GP failing to adequately take, review or consider relevant patient history. Brought together the clinical recommendations made in the cases
