At its heart is a simple but very ambitious aim:

“To make the NHS in Scotland a world leader in the quality of health care services that it delivers.”

“That aim is not just good for patients, it is also right for staff.”

Do you agree?

•Take 10 minutes to discuss at your tables

•Is this what world class healthcare looks like? Tell us what is missing

• Culture and leadership focus – high value organisations define and relentlessly and consistently demonstrates values

• Specification and planning: high-value organisations base operational and core clinical decisions on explicit criteria and organise effectively

• Infrastructure design: High-value organisations create highly effective teams at the micro level, to meet the needs of patient and families.

High performing organisations

High performing organisations

• Measurement and oversight: High-value organisations use measurements of clinical operations for internal process monitoring to drive improvement.

• Staff focus - high value organisations ensure staff involvement and ownership

• The learning organisation: high value organisations examine positive and negative deviations in care and outcomes, using the information create common tools to improve outcomes.

How will we get there?

Your culture is an outcome of the way employees behave.

So how are we encouraging our employees to behave?

Lived values = positive behaviours Relentless modelling of positive behaviours delivers positive attitudes.

Culture

Current values

•Team work•Efficiency•Equality•Excellence •Care•Improvement

What behaviours are required to build a culture of excellence?

Select your top five behaviours from the cards at your table.

As a board what is your role in the delivery of ‘lived’ values to improve culture ?

How should we promote these behaviours?

What we think we “know”

•Better quality costs more money

•If you want to ― get “Safe Care” it will cost MUCH more money

Now here is the “truth”

• Good quality care costs LESS than poor quality care

• Safe, harm-free care SAVES Money. It costs less to provide, and avoids costs of correction.

Learning from the Henry Ford Health System

The stories behind the data

Andy

As a Board Member, do you know the names of the people who have been harmed or killed in your hospitals and healthcare systems because of unsafe, unreliable systems ?

As a Board Member, do you know how many clinicians have been damaged as a result of unreliable or unsafe systems and processes of care?

What approach would you want the Board to take if it was your mother, father, partner, child ?

What assurance does the Board need that we are providing world class health services and that we are learning from events. Discuss at your table and agree the top 2 things that would provide you with assurance

Ah … but!

• Safety improvement excellent in pilot sites• Person centred care excellent in some areas • Spread taking for all taking longer than we

need to drive improvement • New commitment to - 20% reduction in Mortality - 95% patients receive harm free care - Improved person centred care • Capacity and capability building is required

to enable change and improvement

Capability and capacity

• Capability – the people have the confidence and the knowledge and skills to lead the change.

• Capacity – having the right number and level of people who are actively engaged and able to take action.

Helen Bevan, Journal of Research

Nursing 2010; 15: 139-148

What skills are needed?

A key operating assumption of building capacity is that different groups of people will have different levels of need for Improvement knowledge and skill.

Our approach will be to make sure that each group receives the knowledge and skill sets they need when they need them and in the appropriate amounts
