The Bolton Improving Care System
Understanding Value Learning To See Delivering Benefit Redesigning Care
Why Change?
• Difficult Winter • Care unsafe • 98% not being achieved • Stressed Staff • We needed to change
Concept of Flow
• Applying concept of flow • Value adding steps • How could it we apply to ward activities • Batch –common way • One piece flow would not be possible on ward • One decision flow
One Decision Flow
• Right People present to make decisions flow • Ward Rounds – Daily Consultant Lead • Board Rounds Daily • Decisions being made on a daily basis by the right people • Not Traditional
Bolton Respiratory Team
In-patient care - case for Change
Staff Opinions
• All work very hard but don’t always deliver the good care to our patients • High bed occupancy figure • Not enough time or staff to change things • Must be able to do things better!
Targets!
• High Standardised Mortality Ratio 118.9 Jan 2009 • Length of Stay -14,183 Excess bed days • High mortality for respiratory conditions • Not implementing pneumonia care bundles as well as we should
Respiratory Team Vision
• Timely, equitable inpatient access to respiratory services • Best cost-effective outpatient multi disciplinary team (MDT) services • Support primary care to provide equitable good quality respiratory care in community • Underpinning ethos of ‘Best Possible Care for the Patient’ in the most appropriate setting

Rapid Improvement Event April 2009
Core Group of Staff
• Nursing Staff • Consultants + non consultant hospital doctors (NCHDs) • Physiotherapy • Occupational Therapy • Pharmacy • Social Workers • External (to the process)
4 Day Event!
• Gap Analysis • Agree new ways of working • Support this Standard work model • Devise a model to sustain the changes
Gap Analysis: As reported by staff
Medical issues
• Poor documentation • Poor discharge planning • Poor communication with nursing and other staff • No role in MDT • Poor follow through on issues • Juniors – reactive working • 75% Discharge scripts done on day of discharge
Nursing
• Not enough staff • Chasing up doctors to do the tasks / To take out drugs for patients on discharge from hospital (TTOs) • Interruptions –40% of time delivering • Drugs -i.v. antibiotics • Handover / prioritise work • Social work referrals and discharge planning
Agreed - Needed to Change/
• Simple
Improve
evidence based pathways • Improve Patients journey - ensuring visible status and review this daily • Monitor: Visible accountability, improved documentation with completion tasks • Visible proactive discharge planning process – TTOs and Summary • Strengthen Multidisciplinary Team Working with Clarity of responsibility better Co-ordinating Care

Why change ?
• High input into respiratory ward no longer necessary • Focusing non respiratory areas supporting implementation of best practice • Inequity among the patient groups • Focusing input earlier in the patient’s journey • Non-patient contact time handovers/travel
Rapid Experiment – resources same
• Respiratory nurse specialist on wards 7 days • Board round aiming for early respiratory review • Fast track to most appropriate area • Support non-respiratory areas • Liaise with other specialist nurses • Re-organisation of community working

How can we provide the best cost effective MDT outpatient services?
• Outpatient Services – short waiting time (best). 100% 2 week rule target, 1:2 New to Follow up ratio • Need full MDT Specialist clinics for some Chronic Diseases • Eliminate waits - Redesign current clinics • Introduce MDT specialty clinics for complex patients • Comprehensive range of Clinics / Services. But some provided elsewhere – Sleep • Care closer to home – income generation such as sleep services • Demand & need for alternatives to admission and GP advice services • Single point of contact for advice and/or slot in admission avoidance clinic
