Community PostDear hub members We've a request to help from New South Wales. They and their RLDatix colleagues request: The public healthcare system in New South Wales (NSW), Australia is changing how we investigate health care incidents. We are aiming to add to our armoury of investigation methods for serious clinical incidents and would love to hear your suggestions. Like many health care settings worldwide, in NSW we have solely used Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for over 15 years. We are looking for alternate investigation methods to complement RCA. So we are putting the call out … Are there other serious incident investigation methods (other than RCAs) you would recommend? What’s been your experience with introducing and/or using these methods? Do you have learnings, data or resources that you could share? Do you have policy or procedure documents about specific methods? Any journal articles – health care or otherwise – that are must-reads? We've many resources on investigations on the hub and recent thinking in the UK and internationally that might be of value including: UK Parliamentary report - Investigating clinical incidents in the NHS and from that the creation of A Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch applying a wide range of methodologies in national learning investigations informed by ergonomics and human factors UK's NHS Improvement recent engagement on a new Serious Incident Framework (due to piloted in early 2020) Dr Helen Higham work with the AHSN team in Oxford to improve the quality of incident investigations Patient engagement in investigations Lessons to be learned from Inquiries into unsafe care and reflections on the quality of investigations Insights by leading investigators and resources written specifically for us by inclusion our Expert Topic Lead @MartinL Do check these out in this section of the hub https://www.pslhub.org/learn/investigations-risk-management-and-legal-issues/ Please add to this knowledge and give us your reflections. We'd be happy to start up specific discussions on topics of interest. Thank you all, Helen

Content ArticleIn this blog, After Action Review (AAR) specialist Judy Walker shares an account of a successful AAR that took place amongst a surgical team. The AAR was called after a near-miss where the anaesthetist was prevented from injecting spinal block medication into the wrong side of a patient's spine by an operating department practitioner (ODP). The story demonstrates the benefits of AAR, including accelerated learning, a no-blame approach, flattening staff hierarchy and a significant reduction in the time it takes to investigate an incident.

EventThe broad aim of the webinar is to promote After Action Review (AAR) as a valuable tool to promote learning and patient safety improvement. It will: • Show how AAR can support, empower and enable teams to identify learning and good practice • Share knowledge on how to apply AAR for impact • Excite potential new users to adopt this approach Judy Walker, a leading expert in AAR and its adoption for impact in healthcare, will set the scene explaining ‘What is AAR, why is it so valuable and what helps successfully embed it in organisations.” To demonstrate that AAR is a practical and valuable ‘how to tool,’ we want to share case study evidence from healthcare clinicians and leaders. We’re looking to showcase the experience of 3 or 4 organisations, sharing why they have adopted AAR and the benefits planned and impact. Register

Content ArticleReducing stress is an organisational imperative since workplace pressures continue to be one of the main causes of short and long-term absence. According to research undertaken by CIPD based on responses from 804 organisations, 79% of respondents report some stress-related absence in their organisation over the last year. Healthcare settings have an even higher rate of absence due to stress, yet there is reason to be optimistic that this could start to change when a new policy from NHS England is implemented, which recommends the use of After Action Review (AAR). In this blog, Judy Walker explains how AARs can play a key role in reducing stress for those who have been involved in clinical incidents.

Content ArticleThis blog provides an overview of a discussion at a Patient Safety Management Network (PSMN) meeting on 26 August 2022. The discussion considered the use of two different system-based approaches for learning from patient safety incidents recommended by the NHS Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF). The PSMN is an informal voluntary network for patient safety managers. Created by and for patient safety managers, it provides a weekly drop-in session with guests to talk through issues of importance, offer peer support and create a safe space for discussion.

Content ArticleAs organisations continue to adapt to a faster pace of change and seek to achieve their organisational purpose, it’s essential that the resources and time needed to change are minimised. Improving performance by learning effectively from mistakes is a vital part of the change process but the method of learning employed is critical. In this LinkedIn post, Judy Walker discusses the application of After Action Reviews (AARs).

Content ArticleElderly people in care homes in Cornwall were abused and neglected while failings led to reports of concerns not being investigated, a new Safeguarding Adults Review has found. The Morleigh Group, which operated seven homes in Cornwall and has since shut down, was exposed in a BBC Panorama investigation in 2016. A new Safeguarding Adults Review which was commissioned as a result of the TV show has been published making a number of recommendations to all agencies which were involved in the case. The review was completed in April 2019 but has only just been made public - Rob Rotchell, Cornwall Council Cabinet member for adult social care said that this was due to the number of agencies being involved.

Why isn’t After Action Review used more widely in the NHS?
Judy Walker posted an article in Barriers
After Action Review (AAR) is a tried and tested, evidence-based approach that increases learning after events but, despite the clear benefits to patient safety and team resilience, its use in the NHS is still more limited than it should be. Judy Walker explains three of the barriers seen in clinical settings.- Posted

Content ArticleIn January 2016, a high-profile local inquest examined the death of Jasmine Lapsley, a six year old child who sadly died after choking on a grape. One of Bangors post-ACCS Clinical Fellows (not involved with the case) attended the inquest with the intention of sharing any learning points at a CPD Day for Emergency Medical Service (EMS) colleagues we were due to hold six weeks later. Upon releasing the CPD Day programme, organisers realised some EMS colleagues were profoundly uncomfortable about this talk, stating concerns such as 'talking publicly about lessons learned might upset the bereaved family'. They decided to ask all delegates at the CPD day what they thought of the inclusion of this item on the conference programme before and after the talk. This poster shows the results.

How can After Action Review (AAR) improve patient safety?
Judy Walker posted an article in Good practice
The NHS Long Term Plan highlighted several safety issues that need to be addressed: the fear of blame and retribution which curtails reporting and learning, lack of staff understanding of patient safety matters and workforce issues. This short article summarises what I have learnt about how After Action Review (AAR) can directly address the first two of these and indirectly impact on the third.- Posted

WHO: Guidance for after action review (1 April 2019)
Patient Safety Learning posted an article in WHO
The WHO guidance for after action review (AAR) presents the methodology for planning and implementing a successful AAR to review actions taken in response to public health event, but also as a routine management tool for continuous learning and improvements. Four formats of AARs are described including the debrief, working group, key informant interview and mixed method AARs, and the accompanying toolkits containing materials to support the designing, preparing, conducting, and following up on each AAR format. Whilst the AAR methodology described in this document can be used for any response, a specific guidance to conduct an AAR following the response to emergencies that were not caused by biological hazards such as natural disasters is also provided to help the health sector to review its specific contribution to the multisectoral response and coordination.- Posted
