ISD Network Informatics Team of the Year, Karen Hill & Sarah Hulme Background EPR team has been established since 2000, its strength is that the majority of the team have clinical backgrounds or extensive experience working with the organisation plus have vision and innovation to develop the EPR system to provide the most effective solution to meet the Trust challenging agenda to be the safest organisation with the patient at the centre A culture which encourages openness, transparency and candour It is recognised that different services and specialities require specific documentation to meet their professional requirements but the Trust is keen to ensure a consistency in the documentation used across the whole organisation. A new prioritisation, design and delivery methodology for EPR developments ensuring that the full capability of the system is harnessed and that solutions developed are those that deliver the greatest benefit to the organisation. Where possible seeking to develop core solutions that are transferable to other areas Any documentation used within EPR must be approved by the relevant group(s). The Clinical Informatics Board (CIB) is responsible for confirming the prioritisation and authorising the development of EPR documentation and quality assuring their management and use within the Trust.

What do clinicians think? I would take this opportunity to let you know how impressed I was with your team who have recently assisted us in implementing epma. The help and support we have received has been second to none and believe me they did not have an easy task dealing with some of us oldies and technophobes! Not only did the implementation go well but the after support has been equally impressive and we know that there is always somebody at the end of the phone who will deal with any problems or questions with the utmost respect and professionalism despite how silly these may be. Having worked in the health service for some years I know how some changes can be rushed through without very much support for staff this has not been the case with epma and the team are to be commended for that.

How does SharetoCare work? SharetoCare securely connects different medical and care computer systems together. Before any information is collected or displayed to a care professional, patient consent must be provided. Patient consent is recorded on the system in an audit trail. No information is stored or saved within SharetoCare. 14
What is SharetoCare? Integration between systems enabling best-of-breed systems of choice within each care setting Creates a consistent process within all care settings to support care delivery, more safely and more efficiently Ensures the patient and their consent is at the centre of the process Being rolled out in a controlled manner across all organisations - priority focus being on unscheduled care and inter-agency, multi-disciplinary integrated care Creates the foundation to support more integrated working - ensures the right information is available in the right place at the right time 15
Clinician s Feedback Elderly patients can not always remember their medication and allergies, it helps to know these things when treating and advising patients and their carers. Patients not always forthcoming about medication in some circumstances. It helps control inappropriate prescribing. For example, managing requests for medication that can be abused such as diazepam or opiates. It has given increased confidence when providing care to patients. It has freed up time that we would previously have spent on the phone to practices and that has given us more time to spend with patients. 16

ISD Network Staff Development of the Year Award GM IG Network Events, Hayley Barton Background Hayley Barton and Jenny Spires (Pennine Care) identified a need for Data Protection Act, FOI and associated legislation training for the IG staff that aren t IG Managers. There are companies that provide this training at a cost of typically 550 per delegate per day. These courses are often hosted in London which is impractical and incurs further cost. Hayley and Jenny suggested setting up events for the GM IG Network that are hosted by Salford Royal Foundation Trust (SRFT) with no charge to the organisation s delegates attending. The events are designed to share best practice across the GM network and promote inclusion of staff at all bandings within Information Governance.
ISD Network Staff Development of the Year Award GM IG Network Events, Hayley Barton Networking The first event held in October 2014 was attended by 62 delegates across the NW including staff from Rochdale Council, Cheshire and Wirral Partnership, Ashworth Hospital, Central Manchester and Pennine Care amongst others. This was hailed as a success and a further event took place in May 2015. This event was attended by 67 delegates travelling from as far as Cumbria and had attendance from HMP Liverpool and Manchester. The feedback received from both events was that the group should continue and hold events either quarterly or 6 monthly. SRFT attendees include staff from IG, Radiology and Health Records staff. Invitations were also extended to the Legal and Clinical Negligence team. Staff who previously hadn t been exposed to professional training have been able to attend events with guest speakers including: Hill Dickinson Specialist Solicitors representing the NHS The Information Commissioner s Office
ISD Network Staff Development of the Year Award GM IG Network Events, Hayley Barton Benefits Staff feel engaged and have access to specialist information from the guest speakers and share best practice with other organisations. There is a sense of inclusion and feeling valued by having access to these events rather than them being attended only by IG Management. Sharing best practice has improved understanding of the law and process for subject access requests. This improves the patient experience as it can reduce/eradicate delays in processing these requests. Sharing best practice and providing education sessions also gives the delegates confidence that they are following correct processes and that there is consistency in approach. Where attendees have uncertainty about processes, the group provides a forum to enable them to ask questions and take back answers and recommendations from the group to their organisations.

ISD Network Innovation Award Vital Signs, Ben Kennedy Background SRFT in partnership with Allscripts developed an app for use with ipad, which could be utilised to input vital signs recordings at the bedside. The app inputs this data into the patient s electronic record, and returns an EWS to the ipad for the nurse s information with intelligent decision making prompts. In 2012 the National Early Warning Score system (NEWS) was published. Clinicians at the Trust identified that patients scored points for oxygen saturation only if hypoxaemic. Patients with COPD who had dangerously high levels of oxygen saturation due to excessive oxygen therapy score no points on the NEWS system. British thoracic society (BTS) guidance (2008) recommended that all patients should be prescribed a target Oxygen saturation level with 94-98% for the majority of patients and 88-92% for those deemed at risk of hypercapnia. As this wasn t addressed in the NE WS, a modified NEWS scoring system was developed in 2013, Salford NEWS (SNEWS) by Dr Ronan O Driscoll. This was piloted in paper form on two wards for 12 months.
ISD Network Innovation Award Vital Signs, Ben Kennedy Implementation A task and finish group chaired by the Deputy Director of Nursing was formed in May 2014 and oversaw the design and implementation of the SNEWS. The agreed implementation date was the 10th November 2014 and prior to this date a programme of training and education took place across the Organisation. IM&T, System Trainers, Practice Development Teams and Clinical Teams worked in partnership to ensure the app design was appropriate for clinical need, and that all staff (nursing and medical) developed the skills to utilise the app and interpret results. All nursing staff were competency assessed using the ipads for recording vital signs, questioned on the difference between the EWS and Salford NEWS and their responsibilities in ensuring the prescribing of oxygen saturations. Medical staff were educated using face to face sessions and slide presentation on altering of parameters due to clinical need, how to view records both in flow sheets and in graphical trends, prescription of oxygen saturations and remote viewing of records as required. Each area s tracking board was updated to include patients Salford NEWS. Tracking boards are electronic boards in each clinical area which displays key patient information. These indicate at a glance what the Salford NEWS is for the list of patients in that area.
ISD Network Innovation Award Vital Signs, Ben Kennedy Immediate clinical Benefits include All clinicians responsible for care could see remotely (from any computer within the Organisation) the vital sign data. Nurses didn t have to wait for a clinician to attend. Care can be prescribed where appropriate, remotely. Hospital at Night team can identify the most unstable patients and map their workload. Vital signs recorded via the ipad are entered in real time. Scores are automatically calculated by the app. App will not calculate the scores if there is a missing parameter. App will inform staff that parameters are missing before registering lack of score, and allow the recorder to ensure all parameters are entered. If a parameter is unobtainable then recorder can submit the available parameters. This will not produce a score; however the available parameters will be recorded in the patient s record. App will not calculate scores if oxygen saturation levels are not prescribed. Quicker entry by nursing and HCAs as there is no longer a need to cross-check parameters to calculate NEWS, no need to calculate score No illegible entries (often hard to decipher handwritten numbers)

Case Study Patient imaged at Aintree Case discussed at Urology MDT at Royal Patient requires treatment at CCC
Consultant Quote Just a quick note to say what a difference the region wide PACS system makes to us in oncology. When patients are crossing between the specialist small hospitals and the large hospitals, the PACS system makes management so much easier whether it is in our clinics, in MDTs [Multidisciplinary Team Meetings] or when I ring a colleague in a different hospital and we can both view images and discuss management. A big thank you to you and your colleagues from me but above all my patients. Prof Peter Clark, Consultant Oncologist, CCC
