1 SSNAP data: What are the benefits? Tony Rudd

2 Without the audit data services would not have improved

3 What does SSNAP measure? Organisation of care (measures structure) Clinical processes (measures process) Staffing Quality of Stroke Unit (SU) Stroke unit coverage, access to SU, Acute care organisation TIA/neurovascular service Multidisciplinary working Strategic groups Policies Research Leadership Outcomes Acute care processes Door to needle time Time to scan Time to stroke unit Medical, nursing & therapy assessments & screening Therapy intensity Use of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Thrombectomy processes Complications 30 day Mortality Modified Rankin score at 6 months Bray BD, Ayis S, Campbell J et al (2013) Associations between the organisation of stroke services, process of care, and mortality in England: prospective cohort study BMJ 346:f2827

4 Why bother? Its tedious Its time wasting and time better spent looking after patients It doesn t tell me anything I don t know The data don t reflect my service The results are wrong It doesn t tell me what I need to know Why measure performance when I know it isn t good. I ll start when I have made some changes They will only use these data to beat me with

5 Why bother? Benefits for individual clinicians and their teams Benefits for patients Benefits for the public Benefits for people paying for the care and the politicians Benefits for understanding how stroke care should be provided do the trials translate into real life?

6 How does it help the individual clinician and team? Until you measure performance objectively you will not really know how you are performing and where to target improvement e.g. door to needle times, time to stroke unit Introducing a healthy element of competition between clinicians, teams, hospitals and maybe even countries Useful data for persuading managers/politicians that resources are needed

12 Case studies on action resulting from audit All new stroke now go directly to the scanner. We used SSNAP data to identify where we have not met a target, and are now delivering care in a much more timely way We have used SSNAP data to drive improvements in thrombolysis rates The PowerPoint slides are shown to therapists, nurses and doctors we then create action plans

19 Using SSNAP data: Atlas of Variation: Rates of AF Treated with Anticoagulation

20 Collecting and reporting data is only one part of quality improvement Regional Workshops most regions using data to plan reconfiguration of stroke care Slide toolkits bespoke for each hospital every 3 months Publicity and peer reviewed publications Provide transparent information to all Peer review team supporting change NHS Performance indicators and single quality marker

21 Information for patients and families Patients will get better care if they know what they should be receiving They can be powerful advocates for service improvements

22 Information for the Public The public are paying for the services and should know what they are getting Required in England as part of transparency agenda Getting the public arguing for change is a lot more powerful than professionals arguing for change Encourage the press to write about stroke

23 Information for those paying for the services and those responsible for managing the services Help decide overall organisation of care used in every region in England to inform decisions about reconfiguration Ability to make decisions about resources where do they need to invest or disinvest

24 Ensuring audit data are used in key academic publications: Association of care with good outcomes Stroke unit item Odds of death at 30 days P value Early stroke consultant assessment CT scan within 24 hours Early nurse & therapist assessment Early swallow assessment & nutrition management Early iv fluids and aspirin <0.001 < Bray et al BMJ (2013)

25 Size of unit and thrombolysis rate and efficiency Door to needle times Number of patients thrombolysed Bray et al Stroke 2013

28 SSNAP in Northern Ireland: Participation Oct Dec 2015

29 Stroke Unit Domain No team in Northern Ireland received better than a D score for the stroke unit domain. Averages across participating Northern Ireland teams (Oct Dec 2015): 26% of patients being directly admitted to a stroke unit within 4 hours of clock start 67% of patients spend at least 90% of their stay on stroke unit

30 Time to stroke unit in hours Median time to stroke unit (in hours) 35:00:00 30:00:00 25:00:00 28 hr 47 mins 25 hr 56 mins 20:00:00 14 hr 36 mins 15:00:00 10:00:00 6 hr 55 mins 4 hr 8 mins 5:00:00 3 hr 30 mins 0:00:00 Altnagelvin Hospital Antrim Area Hospital Causeway Hospital Craigavon Area Hospital Team Daisy Hill Hospital South West Acute Hospital

31 South West Acute Hospital achieved an A for the Thrombolysis domain. Nationally, only 7% of teams have achieved an A for this domain (teamcentred).

32 3 teams achieved a team-centred score of B for the Physiotherapy domain. These are South West Acute Hospital, Craigavon Area Hospital and South Tyrone and Lurgan Hospitals.

34 Conclusions Data essential to persuade policy makers and clinicians that something needs to be done Continuous data collection is a lot more powerful than snapshot data collections but more time consuming and requires much greater resource. Comparing performance with rest of UK would be very valuable. Although systems different in Northern Ireland your patients are the same and the treatments they receive should be the same Don t be frightened of initially performing badly. It may actually help you get the resources you need Data collection just one small part of the process of quality improvement Please all start taking part in SSNAP!
