Executive Summary

Our mortality indicator continues to be a major concern for the Trust (HMSR 114.71, baseline 100) and we continue to address this as a priority. The latest 12 month rolling HSMR is: 114.71 (December 2014 – November 2015). The excess deaths are mainly in medicine apart from Fractured Neck of Femur. The alerts for the period December 2014 – November 2015 were 6 alerting diagnosis groups:-

Acute cerebrovascular disease Chronic renal failure Fluid and electrolyte disorders Fracture neck of femur (hip) Septicaemia Urinary tract infections

Paediatric Sepsis

7. New observation charts incorporating PEW scores and actions to assess against PEW>2 introduced end 2015

8. Sepsis stickers to guide sepsis six with audit tool for completed stickers. 9. New paediatric patient flow management system implementation date Feb 2016 with

automated request for review if PEW >2 (electronic whiteboard). Education

10. Review of sepsis half day training programme- to a shorter 2 hour session that all ED & MAU staff must attend ( must do)

11. Online sepsis education programme for all staff ( must do) 12. Deteriorating patient education change programme for all staff ( must do) with an aim

to roll out the change package following the same ward list programme as the E-obs scheduling but over 30, 60, 90 day timescale.

13. Launch event for the Ward Sisters and Matrons at the start of each phase of the deteriorating patient education so that they are familiar with the change package.

14. Engage specialist/non ward based nurses in helping with the roll out of the deteriorating patient change education plan

Key Recommendations

For the Trust Board to note and receive the current report.

Assurance Framework

The report provides information on the key risks and current level of assurance in meeting the Trust’s objectives.

Next Steps

The Trust Board to receive regular reports to meeting and be kept informed by exception reporting outside of the meeting cycle as required.

Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust – Mortality Data

1. DECEMBER 2014 – NOVEMBER 2015 (Information downloaded from HED on 8 February 2016) 1.1 Mortality Update Mortality is a key indicator of the trusts safety and effectiveness; this can be expressed in 2 ways, HSMR and SHMI. HSMR is a metric that looks at 56 key diagnoses for in hospital deaths, these 56 diagnoses make 80-90% of the Trusts deaths. SHMI looks at all deaths in hospital regardless of diagnosis, plus all deaths for patients who died in the 30 days following discharge from hospital, this does not adjust for patients who were discharged from hospital with palliative care support in their own home or a hospice, nor is there a requirement for the patient’s death to be related to their previous hospital admission. HSMR and SHMI are both measures of quality of care that use patient records to determine a patients mortality risk based on a number of factors including age, gender, diagnosis, comorbidities and background and lifestyle factors. Outcomes are then compared to this risk and when expressed for the entire Trust are expressed as a number; 100 is considered to be average with anything below 100 showing more patients who would have been expected to die survived (i.e. excellent care) whilst above 100 shows some patients died that may have been expected to survive (potential improvements in care required). 1.2 Trust position- December 2014 – November 2015 HSMR = 114.71 (December 2014 – November 2015) / 114.98 (November 2015)

Flagging for the year as lower confidence interval (LCI) is more than 100, currently at 109.21

Not flagging for November 2015 as LCI is 96.91 Total number of deaths = 1626 (12 months) / 143 (November 2015)

Fluid & electrolyte disorders HSMR = 187.24 Fracture neck of femur (hip) HSMR = 143.4 Septicaemia Urinary tract infections

HSMR = 128.75 HSMR = 146.65

1.6 Alerts This Month

For the period December 2014 – November 2015 there were 6 alerting diagnosis groups (flagging at a lower confidence interval (LCI) at >100):

Acute cerebrovascular disease Chronic renal failure Fluid and electrolyte disorders Fracture neck of femur (hip) Septicaemia Urinary tract infections

1.7 Standard & High Risk Tracking (HSMR & Alerts) The diagnosis groups below represent those as on-going high risk/high volume. The data highlighted in red captures those diagnoses with a lower confidence interval (LCI) at >100 (as captured in the HED diagnostic extracts) across the 12 month period. Table 7: Standard & High Risk Tracking (HSMR & Alerts)

The Mortality Improvement Plan has been reviewed for impact, with three areas identified for current focus as likely to have the greatest impact on morality reduction: sepsis recognition and management; the deteriorating patient; treatment escalation plans.

1.8.1 Sepsis recognition and management

Daily sepsis audits are being undertaken in the Emergency Department/Medical Admission Unit with feedback to staff. A weekly audit report is generated from the data collected by the Lead Nurse for Sepsis. The Lead Nurse for Sepsis follows this review with feedback to all ED staff on a weekly basis. No data comes from the MAU as all the patients have been originally admitted via the ED. The reason the hospital’s RADAR surveillance notes these patients in MAU is because they continue to NEWS at Red/Amber status once admitted.

A sepsis ‘Grand Round’ has been introduced in the Emergency Department. The ‘Grand Round’ is a weekly review meeting that includes the Emergency Department Consultant, Chair Sepsis Steering Group, Deputy Medical Director, Consultant Nurse Emergency Department, Advanced Nurse Practitioner Emergency Department, Associate Director Clinical Governance and the Lead Sepsis Nurse.

Three ‘sepsis’ trolleys are being purchased for the Emergency Department; the effective use of these will be audited for consideration of roll out to other areas.

Medical and Nursing staff in the Emergency Department are receiving a 15 minute highlight session each morning on being sepsis aware. All staff for the day shift assembles for handover in the ED staffroom. It is via this forum that the Lead Nurse for Sepsis joins them every morning to deliver a Sepsis safety briefing and remind all staff to screen for sepsis, and promptly report it to a Dr where they do identify sepsis. The Lead Nurse for Sepsis also provides verbal feedback based on the previous 24 hours’ worth of medical notes that she has checked for sepsis screening. There have been 5 briefing since this commenced on Thursday 11th February.

The Emergency Department Consultant has ensured that Junior Doctors are conversant with the plan for Sepsis hour to hour screening and prescribing.

The sepsis half day training programme has been reviewed with all Emergency Department and Medical Admission Unit staff to undertake the training over the next 90-120 days.

An online sepsis awareness video has been identified for use and is currently being made available to staff via the intranet.

Sepsis stickers have been introduced in paediatrics with an audit tool for completed stickers.

1.8.2 Recognising the deteriorating patient

A new observation chart for children has been introduced. This incorporates a paediatric early warning score and associated actions.

A new paediatric patient flow management system being implemented in 2016 has an automated request for review where the early warning score flags.

Electronic observation system has been successfully introduced on Grenville Ward. The roll out programme will implement in four additional wards weekly with full introduction due to complete October 2016

A deteriorating patient educational change package has been designed by the clinical training team. This will be rolled out alongside the electronic observation system using a 30, 60, 90 day phased programme. The change package will be introduced through a launch event at the start of each phase, with support for implementation being sourced from specialist nursing teams.

The critical care outreach team has been extended to cover 24 hours over the weekend for a one month evaluation period.

1.8.3 Treatment Escalation Plans

Medical Admission Unit has been identified as the focus area for improving use of Treatment Escalation Plans (TEPs).

An improvement programme, supported by the Palliative Care Specialist Nurses, is being finalised, with implementation to commence by end of February 2016.

Three open staff sessions have been scheduled during February 2016 to raise awareness amongst medical and nursing staff of the key mortality actions and to listen to staff’s views on what other actions are needed within the mortality plan for greatest impact.

An analysis of Trust and community deaths is being undertaken with the support of the Academic Health Science Network. This is due by the 26th February 2016.

2. Recommendation

The Trust Board are asked to note and receive the current report.
