The Patient Safety Incident Response Framework & Clinical Audit
Sam posted an event in Community Calendar
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 -

EventThis one-day masterclass will look at the new PSIRF and the Complaints Standards Framework and through real life content, bringing the human focus for the patients, loved ones, and indeed staff to the forefront. It will support staff to explore what compassionate engagement looks like, feels like, and how to communicate it authentically and meaningfully. In a supportive and relaxed environment, delegates will have the opportunity to gain in depth knowledge of the emotional component, relate to, analyse and realise the significance of and believe in their own abilities in creating practices that not only support the PSIRF but go beyond compliance to be working in a way that supports gaining an optimum outcome for patients, families and staff, in often a less than optimum situation. Key learning objectives: Feel, analyse, and explore the presence and absence of compassionate engagement within life, trauma, and a healthcare incident and how empathy is the gateway to compassion. Seeing perspectives and understanding emotional motivations and the emotional component recognising vulnerability in others and self. Seeing the bigger picture and having an enquiring mind to understand the story and how the ‘Funnel of Life’ can impact on our ability to engage. Build confidence in the positive impact of compassionate engagement and really being authentically interested in the emotional component to be able to create an optimum outcome in often a less than optimum situation. Explore and have a good grasp of how internal unconscious belief systems, can link through to the outcomes we achieve. We know what works with compassionate engagement, but why do we so often struggle? Explore and analyse biases, judgments, and how a lack of compassionate engagement not only has the potential to cause psychological harm, but can prevent optimum outcomes for the organisation. Realise the significance of authenticity rather than feeling fearful of not doing things perfectly. Examine where can we get emotional information from to support us, even if we are not aware we are doing it! Identify the importance of an enquiring mind and a hypothesis as we try and understand the story that we are aiming to compassionately engage with. Develop understanding of Safeguarded Personal Resolution (SPR ®) to formulate compassionate engagement under PSIRF and the Complaints Standards Framework. Develop awareness on personal wellbeing and resilience. Register

Content ArticleThe NHS regularly uses temporary staff to fill gaps in its workforce. This investigation explored the challenges of involving temporary clinical staff (bank only staff, agency staff and locum doctors working within trusts) in local trusts’ patient safety investigations. Trust-level investigations are important because they are a way to identify learning to improve healthcare systems, with the aim of reducing the potential for harm to patients. Identifying learning requires staff to be engaged in an investigation; if temporary staff are not involved, learning may be lost, posing a risk to patient safety. HSSIB identified this risk following analysis of serious incident reports provided by acute and mental health NHS trusts. To explore the issue further, the investigation carried out site visits and engaged with NHS trusts, providers of bank staff, agencies that supply staff to NHS trusts, substantive (permanent) NHS staff, bank and agency staff, and a range of national stakeholders.

Content ArticleFran Ives speaks with Pascale Carayon, a Professor in Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Pascale talks about her vision for the SEIPS (System Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety) framework, which she has been working on for many years. During the conversation, Pascale gives some valuable advice to those who are new to using SEIPS such as focussing on the interactions between the elements of the model, such as the organisation, the task, and the tools. Future possible developments for the framework were considered such as making a connection between patient safety and well-being such as stress and burnout.

Content ArticleOne of the major challenges of patient safety incident reporting and learning systems lies in the difficulties of extracting practical information from the vast amount of data collected. Furthermore, many countries have not started collecting incident reports in patient safety at national level which makes it difficult to identify avoidable patient safety incidents and take action on them nationally. Minimal Information Model for Patient Safety (MIM PS) has been developed to provide a simple tool to start collecting data on patient safety incidents to assist in data analysis and extract the minimal, but necessary information to learn from incidents in order to avoid recurrence of same types of incidents in the future. Also, the MIM PS can be used as mapping source from any types of existing reporting systems of patient safety incidents which means no need to develop the new reporting systems based on MIM PS. This MIM user guide aims to explain each MIM category and how to implement MIM. It went through a validation process with EU and EFTA countries in 2014-2015. The MIM PS validation was supported by European Union in which EFTA countries also participated in the pilot testing.
