CQUINs The CQUINs for end of life care for 2013/14 included: 7.1 Early identification of patients that are at end of life through access to Adastra (EPaCCs). EPaCCs linked to Millennium system, via RUH dashboard. Palliative care team and designated staff trained to access and update information on EPaCCs. Audit completed entries checked for patients admitted to the RUH. Only 38 records on EPaCCs included up to date clinical and advance care planning information including Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNAR) status, preferred place of care/death and history of support within community before admission. Agenda Item: 11 Page 6 of 11

7 The majority of entries within EPaCCs were found to be out of date or incomplete clinical information recorded. The audit identified inappropriate resuscitation status and lack of advance care planning information. Information from the audit was fed back to BaNES and Wiltshire CCG end of life care strategy groups to inform future end of life care locality register development. 7.2 Development and implementation of a robust EOLC pathway- The Conversation Project Project promoted early identification of patients with end of life care needs and promoted conversations with patients and their families.6 wards enrolled and implementing The Conversation Project Pulteney, Haygarth, Waterhouse, ACE, ASU and Respiratory. Palliative care team attend weekly MDT/white board meetings on each ward. Audit completed of 172 patient records through the year. Quarter 4 audit (88 patient records) identified: Evidence of discussion with patient 97% Clear documented plan 97% Evidence of discussion with family 97% Evidence of advance care planning 39% Plan to do presentations for sisters and matrons meetings. Plan to present at Grand Round meeting in June. Plan to present patient story to Trust board. Continue to embed The Conversation Project on existing wards and extend to other wards. 7.3 (a) Supporting sessions develop and implement a sustainable programme of support sessions for staff to discuss issues around patient s death and EOLC Staff have access to the palliative care team for support with reflective review sessions on the wards. Guidance on these sessions provided to all the wards. Working with The Kings Fund a facilitated a session was Agenda Item: 11 Page 7 of 11

8 provided to introduce and explore the concept of Schwartz Rounds. To review the uptake of the reflective review sessions and develop processes for ongoing experiential learning for staff supporting patients with end of life care needs. 7.3 (b) Junior doctors survey survey junior doctors on rotation on the pilot and roll out wards for the EOLC pathway to ensure they are receiving suitable involvement, confidence and knowledge in EOLC identification and planning Junior doctors are supported by the medical team from Dorothy House with The Conversation Project, through training sessions, shadowing and reflective review sessions. A survey was completed of junior doctors at the beginning and end of each 4 month rotation. learning from this included: Junior doctors felt more confident in initiating conversations regarding issues around end of life care. Those rating this as an 8 (scale 1-10) increased from 14% at the start of their rotation to 36% at the end of their rotation. Junior doctors felt more confident in having conversations with relatives regarding issues around end of life care. Those rating this as an 8 (scale 1-10) increased from 19% at the start of their rotation to 39% at the end of their rotation. Junior doctors confidence in recognition that patients recovery was uncertain, also increased. To use learning from the survey to inform future support provided by the Dorothy House medical team for junior doctors on the wards, through training sessions, reflective review meetings and shadowing. 7.4 End of life care CQUIN - End of life care: Supporting Families A post bereavement survey was completed. Feedback was through a paper questionnaire or telephone contact with the palliative care team post bereavement. 36 families gave feedback on the care that their relative received in the last few days of life at the RUH. The feedback survey identified that the Agenda Item: 11 Page 8 of 11

9 bereaved families felt that: Patients dying in the RUH had their needs met 78% Families were given information in a timely and sensitive manner 70% Families felt involved in decisions about the patient s care 78% Families felt supported before and after the death 75% Overall, the bereaved families felt that their family members received good care at the RUH. Families appreciated that staff were trying to do their best, when they are very busy. Families stated that small things made a big difference kindness, cups of tea, somewhere to stay. Dying in hospital rather than at home was not an issue for this sample. Families valued the opportunity to talk about their experience. Learning from the feedback identified the need for effective communication especially around patient deterioration, the possibility of dying, fluid intake, the process for issuing Medical Certification of Death, and lack of continuity of care. This informed the work plan for 2014/15. Plan to develop guidance for transfer of patients at the end of life, to reduce inappropriate ward transfers of patients that are dying. Negotiated CQUIN for 2014/15 supports development and implementation for a feedback service for bereaved families. This will support ongoing monitoring of quality of care to the dying patient, will potentially prevent future complaints and allows bereavement advice and support to be provided. 5. Integrated Care Pathway The RUH had used a local Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) for care of the dying. The ICP documentation is used on all the adult wards. An ICP audit was completed in January 2013, however, this was not repeated in 2013/14, due to RUH participation in the National Care of the Dying Audit for Hospitals. The ICP pathway will be reviewed in light of the national Liverpool Care Pathway review More Care, Less Pathway (2013). 6. Ambassadors - a collaborative for end of life care This project has supported the development of ward Ambassadors to champion communication, compassion and end of life care on the wards. The Ambassadors are supported by the palliative care team with their roles on the wards and have the opportunity to attend study days to promote and share best practice in end of life care. Agenda Item: 11 Page 9 of 11

11 Training in end of life care provided through the Trust induction study days has provided data on staff numbers trained. There has been no formal process to record staff training in end of life care as a mandatory requirement for 2013/ Information for the public and staff An Internet website provides some information for the public around the care of the dying at the RUH. Also a leaflet is available for families to answer some of their concerns and questions about end of life care at the RUH. An internal intranet site for palliative and end of life care provides information and guidance for staff at the RUH, on all aspects of palliative and end of life care. All these resources will be reviewed again this coming year and updated as required. 9. The National Care of the Dying Audit The Trust participated in the National Care of the Dying Audit for Hospitals, this year. This was a retrospective audit of 130 sets of medical notes, of patients who had died in May 2013 and a post bereavement audit with bereaved relatives. 131 Trusts participated. The national audit will publish findings and a report for each participating Trust in May Information from this audit will inform the end of life care work plan for the coming year. 10.

The hospice medical team representative supports the specialist palliative care MDT with the RUH palliative care team, supports assessments and reviews of patients with complex needs, provides on-going training and learning for medical students and junior doctors. 11. Future Developments The End of Life Care Working Group will continue to meet quarterly over the next year and monitor the progress of the end of life care work plan for 2014/15. This will include work streams on: Discussions as end of life approaches Assessment and care planning Coordination and experience of care Delivery of high quality care of the dying Care after death Education and on-going learning in end of life care Representatives from the End of Life Care working group will continue support local end of life care strategy groups for the Clinical Commissioning Groups to support partnership working, shared learning and quality outcomes for care across settings for patients with end of life care needs.
