Improving Patient Care at the Bedside
• Clearly define this key role and ensure that SCNs are visible and accessible to patients and their carers.
• LBC establishes a national framework for SCNs working in hospital settings across NHS Scotland.
• Empowers Senior Charge Nurses to be clinical leaders and guardians of safety and quality in their area.
• Developed through extensive stakeholder involvement including patient / client input.
• Four key dimensions for the Senior Charge Nurse role:Ensuring safe and effective clinical practiceEnhancing the patient experienceManaging and developing their teamsContributing to the delivery of organisational objectives
• Supported by Clinical Quality Indicators (Falls, Pressure Ulcer Prevention & Food, Fluid & Nutrition)
• The revised SCN role is applicable to nurses and midwives working in hospitals in all clinical specialities, and is supported by the NES Education and Development framework, a National Programme Leader and a Board-level facilitator network.
• Significant and essential links to the Releasing Time to Care initiative
The vision from Leading Better Care
‘We will have strong clinical leadership delivered by empowered Senior Charge Nurses who are the guardians of quality
and clinical standards for the patients under their care.’

Implementation of the new role• Crucial in leading and delivering the high quality care
that our patients and the public expect.
• Transition of SCNs to the revised role is a phased process that has Executive level support from NHS Board Nurse Directors across Scotland and is overseen by a national steering group.
• The work of NHS Boards is supported by a funding package provided by Scottish Government Health Directorates. Board-level Clinical Facilitation, plus the delivery of education and development packages and one to one facilitation for Senior Charge Nurses will provide additional support
• Many Boards are also offering action learning for their SCNs. In addition, educational and developmental initiatives are supported by the NHS Education for Scotland (NES) Educational Framework and resources.
• Cohorts of SCNs are already developing into these roles across NHS Scotland and the initiative targets the implementation of this role for all SCNs working in hospitals by the end of 2010.
• From recent information provided by NHS Boards we know that there are around 2000 SCNs in Scotland. Of them, around 1545 will be included in the revised role and around 700 are already undergoing development or working to the outline.
Clinical Quality Indicators - CQIs
Why did we need Clinical Quality Indicators?
• Audit Scotland (2002) reported on limited availability of information on impact of nursing on quality
• Audit Scotland (2007) – acknowledged progress but challenges for national quality indicators
• Identify nurse specific measures that have impact on quality of care and patient experience
CQI Progress
• Three CQIs developed:– Falls– Food, Fluid and Nutrition– Pressure Area Care Prevention
• Data capture and reporting systems being developed locally & nationally
• Further CQIs in discussion for specialist areas, eg midwifery, mental health, etc
Clinical Quality Indicators
• Change of culture
• Data collection and analysis skills
• Quality improvement skills
Data, data and more data…
• Expect poor results initially
• Use it as a tool to engage staff and improve care
• If it’s not documented where is the evidence of care delivered?

Patients who require support with eating and drinking are identified and are given help with eating & drinking as necessary.
Assessment
Food allergies are recorded at the intial assessment of the patient.
The screening and assessment processes helps identify under nutrition and factors that may prevent patients from eating and drinking adequately. Screening should be recorded within 24 hours and repeated in accordance to clinical need. This shall include assessing and recording height and weight; eating and drinking likes / dislikes; food allergies and the need for therapeutic diet; cultural / ethnic / religious requirements; social/environmental meal time requirements; physical difficulties with eating and drinking and the need for equipment to help with
eating and drinking1,2.
Patients drinking preferences are recorded at initial assessment.
Management
This section refers to an observation of meal times within the ward/department.
The intervention identified within the plan of care relates to the level of risk identified through assessment.
There is evidence of repeat assessments relevant to the level of idenfied risk.
There is documented evidence that nutritional information has been shared with the patient and / or relevant others.
Criterion
Patients have a nutritional risk assessment documented. Within 24 hours of admission using a validated risk assessment tool as agreed by your organisation.
Patients dietary needs / preferences are recorded at intitial assessment e.g Cultural, Religious and / or ethnic dietary preferences.
Patients eating preferences are recorded at initial assessment.
Structures and processes
Nursing staff ensure the effective delivery of food and fluid and contribute to the provision of patients' high quality nutritional care
Mealtimes are protected to minimise disruption to the patient over this time.
Patients receive the correct choice of meals/dishes.
Meals/dishes are delivered at a temperature acceptable to the patient.
Definition of terms
NHS QIS Standards Food, Fluid and Nutritional Care in Hospital (2003) state that this will include the outcomes of the initial assessment; outcomes of the screening for risk of under nutrition; frequency / dates for repeat screening and actions taken as a consequence of repeat screenings. Ideally, this shall be developed in conjunction with the patient or carer. Patients food and fluid intake should be monitored and necessary action
taken if this is inadequate1. NHS QIS Standards Food, Fluid and Nutritional Care in Hospitals (2003) recommend that the discharge plan shall include information about the patients nutritional status; special dietary requirements; and that the arrangements made for any follow-up on nutritional issues.
Inflexible hospital routines, clinical procedures and ward rounds can disrupt mealtimes and thus reduce patients nutritional
intake1. All non - essential staff activity is stopped during mealtimes; there is adequate numbers of staff available to provide food and fluid to patients and where necessary, to provide individual assistance with eating and drinking. There is a protocol for the provision of therapeutic diets, supplements, high
energy and high protein food and fluid1. There is provision of any
requirement outwith the planned menu e.g. vegan meals1.
There is evidence that the discharge plan contains nutritional information.
