Content ArticleThe Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch's (HSIB's) local investigation pilot aimed to evaluate the organisation's ability to carry out effective locality-based patient safety investigations with actions aimed at specific NHS organisations, while still identifying and sharing relevant national learning. It differs from HSIB's usual national investigations, which make safety recommendations to organisations that can make changes at a national level across the NHS in England. The pilot published three investigations focused on cross boundary and multi-agency safety events: Investigation 1: incorrect patient identification Investigation 2: incorrect patient details on handover Investigation 3: transfer of a patient with a stroke to emergency care The report summarises how the HSIB local investigation pilot was undertaken, and shares findings applicable to local healthcare systems including healthcare organisations and Integrated Care Systems.

Content ArticlePolicymakers are increasingly emphasising the role of health services in addressing social and economic factors that shape health, but guidance on how this should be done in practice is limited. This long read from The Health Foundation outlines a framework to understand potential approaches for NHS organisations to address social factors that shape health, focusing on local and regional action. It describes four categories of potential approaches, from more narrow interventions focused on improving care for individual patients, to broader partnerships to improve health of populations.

Content ArticleIntegrated care systems (ICSs) and provider collaboratives are ushering in a move towards more collaborative working across organisations in health, social care and the voluntary and community sector – and digital health technologies have an important role to play. Digital technologies can help information and communication to flow across organisations, people and places, bringing benefits for both patients and staff, eg, fewer tests, improved patient safety, reduced costs and saving both patients and staff time. However, using digital health technologies to overcome silos, often referred to as interoperability, has been a longstanding challenge. The King's Fund undertook research to understand how to progress interoperability in health and care.

Content ArticleIn 2011, the government acknowledged a large treatment gap for people with mental health conditions and sought to establish ‘parity of esteem’ between mental and physical health services. From 2016, the Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC) and NHS England made specific commitments to improve and expand NHS-funded mental health services. NHSE, working with the Department and other national health bodies, set up and led a national improvement programme to deliver these commitments. This report by the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee assesses progress made in delivering these commitments. The report acknowledges that NHS England has made progress in improving and expanding mental health services, but says this was "from a low base."
