Effective communication is the key to all clinical care, particularly in the maternity services, where there may be multiple handovers of care. Communication is effective only if the relevant information is actually made available to, and understood by, those who need to act on it. The King s fund 2008

How best can NHS boards use hospital mortality data? How best can Healthcare Improvement Scotland use, and engage with NHS boards about, hospital mortality data?

Concept of structured recognition and response Successful testing in one ward Spread The importance of accurate process and outcome data and who owns it (and the process)

Implementation of a structured response to deteriorating patients had previously been shown to reduce cardiac arrests in the Acute Medicine Unit in NHS Forth Valley by 70% However whole hospital cardiac arrest rates remained highly variable. A plan was therefore made to spread the structured response to the downstream medical and surgical wards to improve this.

From a baseline of 2.5 cardiac arrests per 1000 hospital discharges, we aimed to reduce this by 50% to 1.25 cardiac arrests per 1000 discharges within 12 months. This would be done by reliable spread of the Scottish structured response to deteriorating patients in the downstream medical and surgical wards in Forth Valley Royal Hospital. A secondary aim would be to measure the time to critical care from first NEWS trigger across in both the Acute Medical Unit and downstream medical and surgical wards in FVRH.

3 Senior nurses were identified for a 12 month secondment looking at recognition and response to deteriorating patients within Forth Valley Royal Hospital.

Deteriorating patient programme objectives 50% reduction in CPR attempts in general ward setting 95% of people with physiological deterioration in acute care will have a structured response and plan

Safety improvements in system design Medical Emergency Team with standardised assessment tool Patient record incorporating Scottish Structured Response Treatment escalation planning Handover Structured ward rounds

Evolution of MET

How best to provide urgent medical assessment and intervention in out of hours periods? Main challenge outwith acute admission units 2011 Introduction of Medical Emergency Team

Defined threshold but with allowance for discretion Alternative escalation route Standardised communication format Timescale of response agreed Emphasis on team approach & responsibility

MET integration with Deteriorating Patient Programme Change MET forms to the Deteriorating Patient Record Promote culture of treatment escalation planning Progressive roll out of SSR to all wards in Raigmore Introduced Deteriorating Patient Follow Up forms Introduced a diary and whiteboard to handover outstanding TEP/CPR for all MET calls at handovers - 9am, 5pm, 9pm Monthly newsletter to Deteriorating Patient group and ANPs

AMBER - elevated NEWS, continuous drug infusion, blood transfusion, new admission, increased 0 2 demands or >40%, end of life care. Must have clear plan of action in notes if deteriorates. GREEN - routine tasks to be completed OOH e.g. gentamicin level, chasing x-rays/blood results. Must be clear what is being looked for and a clear action plan in place if results are abnormal.
