Sept 2016
What Did Staff Say?
- Patients are at the centre of it all of it - we should be assuring them
- We spend a huge amount of time collecting data - is it used ?
- We don't need more resources - just need to work smarter
- Not always convinced the data is accurate
- There is lots of duplication
- Lots of audits, not always with a clear pathway
- Doesn't feel like everything is gathered in a single place
- Various instances where things are being done but not fed upward
- Individual systems exist, but without an overarching strategy
- Lack of visibility and shared learning (both positive and negative)
- Assurance needs to tie into accountability
- Are the right people doing the right bits?
- Only helps ward managers a small amount in terms of doing the day job
- Estates is sometimes on periphery and should be integrated
- Some audits are "done at" departments rather than with them
- There’s a disconnect - things that would help elsewhere but not being used
- RAG rating and dashboards often provide more reassurance than assurance
- No standardised template for action plans, but there is probably a "popular one"!
- Can end up with a complex set of actions/plans, a bit like a "house of cards"
- Not always clear how the lessons learned process works
- Examples of good action plans but process means they aren't always owned at
ward level
Our Framework for Excellence will provide assurance
- n the standards of care across Lancashire Teaching
- Hospitals. The system will empower staff by
providing a framework and clear standards. These standards will be used to work in partnership with peers to provide evidence that is credible, reliable,
- pen and honest, allowing areas to benchmark and
eliminate variation and provide a platform for continuous improvement.
Our Vision
Our framework will be:
- Consistent with achieving an outstanding rating in line
with the CQC standards
- Align with LTH core ambitions and values
- Patient and family focussed
- Credible, measureable and relevant to all staff and the
work they do
- Flexible to allow for local variation
- Responsive, dynamic, action focused
