The Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) arguably represents the most significant change to investigating and managing patient safety incidents in the history of the NHS. To embed PSIRF effectively within organisations, healthcare teams need to understand and utilise a range of new techniques and disciplines. Clinical audit is an established quality improvement methodology that is often overlooked by patient safety teams, but will play an increasingly important role in ensuring that PSIRF fully delivers its stated objectives. CQC reports often highlight the importance of clinical audit as a measurement and assurance tool that can raise red flags if used appropriately. Indeed, both the Ockenden and Kirkup reports highlighted the importance of clinical audit in identifying and quantifying substandard care. While SEIPS, After Action Reviews, more in-depth interviewing techniques, etc. are all receiving much fanfare in relation to PSIRF, the importance of clinical audit needs to be better understood. This short course will explain how organisations who use clinical audit effectively will increase patient safety and better understand why incidents take place. We will look at the key role of audit in understanding work as imagined and works as done and show why national audits can assist with creating patient safety plans. Change analysis and the effective implementation of safety actions are keys to PSIRF delivery and clinical audit will assist in the delivery of both. We will also demonstrate the important, but often under-appreciated role, clinical audit staff will have in the successful delivery of PSIRF. Key learning outcomes: Why clinical audit is an integral element of PSIRF. Why clinical audit staff have a vital role to play in PSIRF. How clinical audit data can help raise red flags and spot risks. Using clinical audit to better understand your incidents. Ensuring your safety actions are working. Using audit to assess your patient safety incident investigations. Register

The overall objective of this masterclass is to build good governance commitment, capacity, and resilience in the face of severe resource constraints and complex staff, patient, political and regulatory expectations. The programme is interactive, developmental, based on best practice and focused on achievable improvement of practice, behaviours and outcomes. The course includes online access to the relevant CQG e-learning module for 12 months and a discount code to purchase additional modules. This masterclass is one of a series that will help enhance your understanding and application of governance in healthcare, this module recognises the mechanisms and drivers for improvement available to the board, including creating a culture for effective analysis and reporting of outcome measures and benchmarking internally. We clarify the role of the board in organisational scrutiny and challenge. We also look at the ways the board can add value and ensure exemplar organisational effectiveness by developing its own culture of improvement. Each masterclass has its own set of learning objectives, the final one of each is to be able to apply the learning to the participant’s own organisation using the provided CQG Maturity Matrix. The matrix can be used to set strategic objectives and consider progress over coming months. At the completion of this module, the participants will be able to: • Understand the mechanisms and drivers for improvement available to the board. • Clarify the role of board scrutiny and challenge. • Assist the board in adding value and ensuring organisational effectiveness by developing its own culture of improvement. • Apply the learning to the participant’s own organisation using the CQG Maturity Matrix.
