. Summary The Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) Strategy will incorporate the key priority areas as outlined in the balanced scorecard. Clinical groupings including CHPs will receive scorecards on a monthly basis along with access to the raw data, clearly marked with their position and goal. A balanced scorecard will be to achieve 'green status' in all areas. The finding of amber or red will trigger a response for investigation and action. The Infection Control team will support staff to help find solutions. The Divisions Joint Clinical Boards are asked to review progress with the National & HEAT targets : Zero tolerance for hand hygiene compliance in all staff groups Staph aurerus bacteraemia reduced to 46 new episodes for NHS Tayside by the end of March 2 Clostridium difficile reduction (3% by 2 from.64 to.7 episodes per Total Occupied bed days) by 2 Progress is monitored monthly by the Waiting Times performance group, Delivery Unit Management team, Acute delivery Unit Clinical Governance Group, the Board and the HAI Network meetings 6 times per year. In addition figures are scrutinised by Taystat, Chairman s meeting with the SGHD, local Clinical Governance/Risk Management meetings in CHPs. Data are presented at Board meetings and available to the public. Please check: are you. receiving the relevant data? If not please contact Infection Control Office 3238 2. sending the relevant data? (non returns are scored as red) 3. reviewing the HEAT and National HAI Targets and progress regularly? 4. taking actions and monitoring outcomes as needed?

2. Background The HAI agenda is wide ranging and often complex. It underpins many activities in every area of healthcare from management to hands-on healthcare, and includes clinical and non-clinical staff. NHS Tayside has a single combined delivery of the infection control service across primary and secondary care. Because of the wide ranging remit, focus is on 'high impact' areas where there are good data, surveillance systems and opportunities for interventions that will lead to measurable improvements in place. Other areas and issues will continue to be worked up and managed as listed in the HAI Annual Programme/Improvement Plan. All Clinical groupings including CHPs will still be subject to audits and are expected to continue with their own HAI Action Plans. 3. Aims The aims of the HAI strategy are to continue to improve the health and safety of staff, patients and visitors sustain those improvements that have already been made meet the Nationally set targets for C difficile cases, hand hygiene and staphylococcal bacteraemia and antimicrobial prescribing as well as our locally set targets for other key areas 4. Objectives to meet national HAI and HEAT targets to met local HAI targets to reduce HAI in NHS Tayside with high impact interventions in key high risk areas to engage clinical staff in these improvement goals to produce a format which is simple and easily understood, reproducible to continue improvements across the single delivery unit healthcare sites Infection Prevention and Control Scorecard Strategy 9- FINAL[2].doc Page 4 of 47

Beneath each area will be some or all of the following: Goal definition, data collection, display frequency and analysis, bundles, management and reporting systems, policy, procedures, education, training, audit, surveillance, action plans and various groups that work on improvements. For each domain an 'NHS Tayside Good Practice Guideline' is available on request form the infection control office (3238). Non returns of information will be defaulted to 'red'. For clinical groupings including CHPs where areas are amalgamated, the lowest/worst result will be the one submitted (ie if 4/6 wards have achieved green, has achieved yellow and is red, it will be the red one that is put forward for the scorecard). HAI = Healthcare Associated Infection VAP = Ventilator Associated Pneumonia SSI = Surgical Site Infections CVC = Central Venous Catheter For S.aureus bacteraemia, new MRSA acquisition and new c.difficle acquisition the data for acute clinical groupings will be amalgamated and presented as run charts with individual ward or department data presented in table format with status highlighted as red, amber or green. Infection Prevention and Control Scorecard Strategy 9- FINAL[2].doc Page of 47
6. Goals for each Scorecard Target Area from January 29. Zero tolerance to non compliance with Hand Hygiene standards. Audits performed on monthly samples of 2 staff made up of nurses, 3 medical staff, 4 Allied Health Professionals, 3 ancillary staff. The monitoring is based on the 'WHO 5 points' and on technique using existing tools. > 95% compliance = green < 95% compliance = red Wards will supply data monthly to Infection Control Teams using the data they already collect for the SPSP programme where possible. This needs to be with the Infection Control Office by the 7 th of each month. 2.

What Clinical Groups Need to Do You will receive the following data from the Infection Control Team for monitoring purposes:. New cases of MRSA and Clostridium difficile (HEAT target) for individual wards. The trigger is 2 or more new cases within the previous 3 days. Weekly data are supplied to wards, managers and senior clinical staff. Please distribute as you see fit, remembering your junior medical staff. Infection Control will help support and investigate any triggers and work with you on any remedial actions. Infection Prevention and Control Scorecard Strategy 9- FINAL[2].doc Page 6 of 47
These are supplied weekly and monthly and it is expected that they will be reviewed at your local Clinical Governance meetings or other relevant meetings to ensure that the National and HEAT targets are met. A chart of weekly snapshot of unisolated cases is circulated. 2. Scorecards. To give an overall picture of how your clinical grouping fits in to the NHS Tayside picture and to ensure a balanced approach is taken to the wider aspects of HAI. 3. Staphylococcal bacteraemia (HEAT target) All cases will have a rapid review by the Infection Control Team and members of the clinical team that are available. These will be colour coded (red, amber, green) in terms of whether they are preventable. Consultants are free to make further comments and are asked to help make sure that everything is done to prevent further cases. 4. Monthly hand hygiene audits [National target: zero tolerance CEL 5 (29)] These are already undertaken as part of the SPSP. It is expected that these data are reviewed at Clinical Governance meetings or other relevant meetings to ensure that National and zero tolerance targets are met. Remedial action must be taken if required 8.
