    Analysis of the patient safety incidents reported in England to the National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) up to June 2019. NHS Improvement publish two sets of National patient safety incident reports (NaPSIRs) simultaneously. This publication includes reports covering incidents to June 2019 and to March 2019; the commentary analyses data to March 2019. NaPSIRs were previously called Quarterly Data Summaries (QDS).

    The debate around the presence of medical error in healthcare today still solicits debate. While it is agreed that one death due to medical error is too many, Mazer and Nabhan in this perspective discuss the intense interest by the media and others in numbers that are shared – whether they are accurate or not. They suggest instead that the focus of discussion and interest should not be solely on how many... but the "why."

    Effective communication is critical to successful large-scale change. Yet, in our experience, communications strategies are not formally incorporated into quality improvement frameworks. The 1000 Lives Campaign was a large-scale national quality improvement collaborative that aimed to save an additional 1000 lives and prevent 50 000 episodes of harm in Welsh health care over a two year period. This research, published in the Journal of Communication in Healthcare, used the campaign as a case study to describe the development, application, and impact of a communications strategy embedded in a large-scale quality improvement initiative.

    The Health Foundation’s Report, Untapped potential: Investing in health and care data analytics, highlights nine key reasons why there should be more investment in analytical capability. Nine key reasons why there should be more investment in analytical capability: Clinicians can use the insights generated by skilled analysts to improve diagnosis and disease management. National and local NHS leaders can evaluate innovations and new models of care to find out if expected changes and benefits were realised. Board members of local NHS organisations and systems can use analysis to inform changes to service delivery in complex organisations and care systems. Local NHS leaders can improve the way they manage, monitor and improve care quality day-to-day. Senior NHS decision makers can better measure and evaluate improvements and respond effectively to national incentives and regulation. Managers can make complex decisions about allocating limited resources and setting priorities for care. Local NHS leaders will gain a better understanding of how patients flow through the system. New digital tools can be developed and new data interpreted so clinicians and managers can better collaborate and use their insights to improve care. Patients and the public will be able to better use and understand health care data. Action and investment is needed across the system so the NHS has the right people with the right tools to interpret and create value from its data. This could result in an NHS that can make faster progress on improving outcomes for patients.

    Reducing emergency admissions from care homes has the potential to reduce pressure on hospitals. This is a significant national policy focus, as demonstrated by a strong commitment to improve support in care homes in the NHS Long Term Plan.  Key points: Analysis of a national linked dataset identifying permanent care home residents aged 65 and older and their hospital found that on average during 2016/17 care home residents went to A&E 0.98 times and were admitted as an emergency 0.70 times. Emergency admissions were found to be particularly high in residential care homes compared with nursing care homes. A large number of these emergency admissions may be avoidable: 41% were for conditions that are potentially manageable, treatable or preventable outside of a hospital setting, or that could have been caused by poor care or neglect. Four evaluations of initiatives to improve health and care in care homes carried out by the Improvement Analytics Unit (IAU) in Rushcliffe, Sutton, Wakefield and Nottingham City show reductions in some measures of emergency hospital use for residents who received enhanced support. There are key learnings from these IAU evaluations, including a greater potential to reduce the need for emergency admissions and A&E attendance in residential care homes and the benefit of coproduction between health care professionals and care homes.

    On 20 March 2018 NHS Improvement launched an engagement programme to seek views from a wide range of stakeholders about how and when patient safety incidents should be investigated. Often those affected by incidents are not appropriately supported or involved in the investigation process; the quality of investigation reports is generally poor; and improvements to prevent the recurrence of harm are not effectively implemented. To obtain views on the problems with the current approach to the investigation of Serious Incidents, the issues driving these problems, and how such issues might be resolved, NHSI ran an online survey, national workshops and a live twitter chat, and held discussions with many individuals including patients, families, NHS staff, regulators and others. This document summarises the feedback received.

    Fourth MBRRACE-UK Perinatal Mortality Surveillance Report providing information on UK perinatal deaths for births from January to December 2016. The report focuses on the surveillance of all late fetal losses (22+0 to 23+6 weeks gestational age), stillbirths and neonatal deaths, with data presented by country, by geographical area, by health care provider and by Local Authority. What can I learn? Mortality rates reduced with 300 fewer baby deaths in 2016 compared with 2013. Improved survival for twins: the stillbirth rate has reduced by almost half since 2014 and neonatal deaths have reduced by almost a third during the same period. Regional variation is still evident in England. Post-mortem examination continues to vary between stillbirths and neonatal deaths. Almost all parents of stillborn babies were offered a post-mortem and of these 1 in 2 consented to a post-mortem. 8 out of 10 parents of babies who died neonatally were offered a post-mortem and of these 1 in 3 consented to a post-mortem. Placental histology was carried out for 9 out of 10 stillbirths but for only 7 out of 10 neonatal deaths which occurred on day 1, or were related to problems during delivery.

    Dear All Please excuse my ignorance, especially if I am failing to see or understand something that is so glaringly obvious! However, I wondered if any of you, my esteemed colleagues, would be able to assist me with a conundrum that I currently face: Number of incidents occurring per 1,000 bed days My questions: What does this actually mean, and how is this useful exactly? How do you know if the sum of a bed days calculation is good or bad? How can this sum be used to quantify/understand incidents that occur within an outpatient setting (or a setting that does not involve bed days)? For example, if we say that an organisation has 5,910 incidents and a bed days figure of 171,971, we would then need to calculate 5,910 / 171,971 x 1000 = 34.36. As the NRLS uses the 'metric', incidents by 1000 bed days, to write a report which includes this sum for your organisation, and that of your "cluster" (other organisations that are 'supposedly' similar to yours), what does this sum actually signify and how can this be used to try and compare yourself to other service providers? Regards Faizan

    The US-based Leapfrog Group is a nonprofit organisation that routinely gauges hospital performance to inform purchaser choices as they navigate the healthcare system. While there are discussions on the value of the ratings ... they still pack a punch for organizations who do or don't do well. The latest set of numbers are out: Megan Brooks.
