Balanced Scorecard Month 9 2014/15 17 July 2015 4 Domain 1 - Are patients receiving clinically commissioned, high quality services? Quality Issue Provider Description of Quality Issue Issues The main driver of underperformance is at St. Georges.

Epsom and St Helier reported consistently high attendances and In order to mitigate the issues, St George’s put a number emergency admissions , with patient activity remaining high . There were of actions in place; SRG wide escalation calls are taking also high numbers of ambulance arrivals and patients requiring place three times per week, with emergency escalation treatment in the resuscitation area of A&E. The trust continued to calls in periods of significant pressure to assess experience issues with bed capacity. opportunities to reduce demand. All elective lists were reviewed, with only those patients identified as urgent ESH = 92.2% against St George’s continued to reported high attendances and admissions Epsom & St. A and E waiting a target of 95% above predicted. The trust experienced challenging bed positions most being planned throughout the week. The trust ran in Helier, St business continuity with mobilisation of all managerial times SGH= 84.8% against days, with demand outstripping capacity. This was not only a result of George's Hospital a target of 95% the increased admissions, but the trust also had low discharge profiles and clinical staff on a number of occasions, as well as on many days; slowing patient flow through the hospital. This ultimately cancellation of some non- -urgent electives. In addition impacted on the front end, resulting in large numbers of breaches. These to this, the trust has opened further escalation with a issue culminated in what the trust reported as one of the most pressured number of off -site beds now available, with a further 6 weekends seen in recent years. to open by mid January.

This was due to 10 breaches from 33 patient pathways. There were 4 internal breaches at SGH, 2 of these were attributed to delays in work up and the other two due to administrative delays. There were 2 shared breaches Cancer first between SGH and RMH and both of these breaches were treatment 62 days, SGH, RMH, 68.8% against a attributed to late Inter Trust Referrals.

The final 2 were shared between KHFT and RMH and were attributed to administrative issues and Late Inter Referral. SGH states that it will provide education on cancer waiting times for admin booking staff. Ensure OPA bookings are action in the weekly PTL meeting; expedite delays / capacity issue as soon as possible to minimize potential delays to the pathway. There is an expectation that complex patients will have an extended pathway, however a tolerance is built into the standard for such patients. St George's ensures that all patients with multiple comorbidities are worked up thoroughly in a timely manner. The trust needs to establish a closer relationship with referring trusts to identify any potential issues to enable the patient to be seen within target date. Joint PTL meetings will eliminate these issues. of the breaches are over hundred days. In view of the assurance work being undertaken on 62 day cancer waits, the expectation from commissioners now is that all RCAs on 100 day breaches are to be discussed at the Trusts relevant CQRG meetings The Transforming Cancer Services Team (TCST) will continue to monitor SGH’s Performance over the next Quarter. St Georges: St Georges had 221 thirty minute handover breaches in December. Epsom & St Helier:- LAS handover breaches increased significantly in December going from 34 to 125 thirty minute breaches. 60 minute breaches also increased from 2 to 39. SGH has an action plan to improve flow in A&E that should improve handover performance. One of the key actions is a change in the triage process, with reduction in the number of steps and an allocated nurse to coordinate triage and ambulance handover. Despite this and as a result of the performance in December, SE CSU is seeking a meeting with SGH to discuss the significant deterioration in performance. ESH: Despite the trust having an action plan to improve performance, with key actions including; real time review of the handover process; identification and implementation of best practice; clarifying improving administrative element of the handover process, SE CSU will discuss the drop in performance at the next SRG meeting in order to get assurance from the trust.

Quality Issue Increasing the IAPT recovery rate Increasing the proportion of people that enter IAPT treatment against the level of need in the general population Unplanned hospitalisation for chronic ambulatory care sensitive conditions Provider SWL & St. Georges SWL & St. Georges Merton CCG Description of Quality Issue What's being done about it? The service is showing a downward trend this quarter in improving this outcome. The service is showing a downward trend this quarter in improving this outcome. The CCG provided further investment in Q4 to increase capacity in the service. The Trust is reporting that this increase in treatment will provide an increase in recovery rates at the end of Q4 when patients have completed treatment. 1) Weekly performance reports are being provided by the Trust to the commissioner for assurance of weekly referrarls received. Based on this the Trust are advising that they will meet the target of 15% by Q4. 2) Weekly performance reports are being submitted to NHS England. 3) GP Practice visits have commenced to promote IAPT 4) Follow up phone calls have commenced with GP Practices that have received a visit. 5) Letter was sent to all GP Practices encouraging referrals to IAPT. 6) The Trust placed an advert for IAPT in the Wimbledon Guardian. 7) The CCG has shared the same advert with its stakeholder network. Whilst 4 out of 9 reporting Work is continuing to implement the Better Care Fund and QIPP initiatives which months show these impacts on a subset of these admissions. To date the Community Prevention of admissions are to be on Admission Team (CPAT) has been extended into care homes, Integrated Locality target, overall the level Teams and MDT working have been introduced and in-reach nursing from admissions in this financial Community Services at St George's was extended to also support prevention of year have been greater than admission in the ED and short stay wards. Additional intermediate care beds predicted so far. were introduced from 1st February 2015 and further beds are planned for April 2015. It is expected that the introduction of the Holistic Investigation and Rapid Investigation (HARI) service at the Nelson from April 2015 will have an impact on the reduction of these admissions. Further analysis of this data indicates that there may be value in commissioning further community support for Asthma and this is currently being worked up. Balanced Scorecard Month 9 2014/15 17 July 2015 8 Domain 3 - Continue Number of people accessing expert patient programmes The premises used for the course was unavailable and A new venue (St Saviours Church, Raynes Park) was found. Evaluation in progress therefore was cancelled which had an impact on the number of participants. Merton CCG A low number of people on our waiting list with COPD Asking GP surgeries to arrange letters to be sent to a random selection of patients and asthma on their register. Large drop out of course participants In progress - Meeting with translator, and tutors to get feedback of session. Arranging a meeting with translator and participants Delayed Transfers Kingston and St DTOC has slightly increased compared to November DTOC figures are reported monthly to the Merton Integration Board and the One of Care Georges figures and the reasons for this are a) completion of Merton Group. As Better Care Fund schemes go live and are further embedded Hospital assessment and b) public funding. into operational procedures, DTOCs should continue to fall and monitoring will continue as part of the overall BCF performance management process. The majority of DTOCs are the result of awaiting assessment for continuing healthcare needs with community health and social care delays at proportionately low levels. Increasing the Merton CCG proportion of people diagnosed with Dementia Progress for this indicator is substantially below target, but improving month on month. Improvements are thought to stem from a number of initiatives, although progress does not appear to be sufficient to meet the target of 67% by the end of the financial year. Next steps include: working with the Primary Care Support Team to ensure that all practices reap the benefits from three key list cleansing approaches; encouraging practices to deliver the recently launched care home scheme which involves conducting reviews of care home residents and giving a diagnosis where applicable; continuing to conduct focussed work with practices which have the greatest dementia ‘gaps’ (in terms of numbers of patients) and practices which are outliers as a result of having the lowest diagnosis rates. Winterbourne All 4 patients are still under the scope of Merton as reported last month. 1. Currently placed in a specialist learning disability locked rehab service. 2. Currently placed in a specialist inpatient treatment service within the NHS. 3. Currently placed in a specialist Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) locked rehab service. 4. Currently placed in a specialist ASD locked rehab service. All patients are currently detained under the Mental Health Act, for the purpose of treatment. An attempt to discharge 2 to intensively staffed community service in February unfortunately failed, with the patient needing to be returned to inpatients setting after a period of 5 days with support of police. Discharge will however be attempted later this month. In respect to 3 and 4 a plan for on going treatment in a hospital registered service has been identified as still being required. It is anticipated that 3 will be discharged to a community setting, as yet to be identified but closer to home, by September 2015. It has been confirmed however that this will not be feasible for 4 who continues to pose a significant risk to children and vulnerable females. The CTR for 1 is scheduled to take place on March 3rd.
