Topic 4: High Risk Medicines
Mid-Campaign refocus- working well
• High visibility and profile for patient safety work
• Falls was a good first topic and the topic focus worked well
• Access to resources, experts and other support was fantastic
• Strengthened regional networks and alliances
• Capability building through the campaign was appreciated
• Quality and Safety Markers for measurement got the attention of senior leaders
• Alignment with Letters of Expectation to DHBs improved uptake of campaign topics and demonstrated alignment with Ministry of Health
25
Mid-Campaign refocus – to improve
• Some confusion of people not knowing what the campaign is about with a lack of coherent story across topic areas
• Competing priorities between programmes and the campaign, existing campaigns and the Open campaign
• The campaign moved at a fast pace and this was a challenge for a busy health care workforce
• Variability of consumer representation across the regions• Perception in some areas that QSMs are about compliance,
rather than being data for improvement
26
Patient Safety Week 2014
• Launch of Let’s PLAN consumer
resource
• Dr Jim Bagian workshops
learning from adverse events and
safe surgery 300+ people

– what makes a good clinical leader?– where is patient harm occurring and, as leaders, what can
we do about it?– leading change within a complex system– quality improvement knowledge and skills– measurement and evaluation of quality.
• Highlighting how leadership has made a difference

WE NEED
To radically change the conversations
about patient centered care
Inpatients don’t needto be patient, theybook a time slot in the doctors rounds
From what’s thematter?
to What matters to you?
Patients and theirfamilies in the
improvement teams and in recruitments
Whatmatters to you?
Key take aways
The improvement work has to be integrated in the hospitals
and municipalities dailyoperations
1
A national program needsfrequent national data – just as much as the local improvement
team needs their run charts
2
We need more than stunts to actually deliver patient
centered care – we need to change the conversation and
shift the power

We’ll take good care of you
