Cerebral Palsy Hip Surveillance at HNEkidsRehab: Evaluating our Virtual

Clinic Model

Background

The HNEkidsRehab Cerebral Palsy Hip Surveillance Program (CPHS) has been operating since 2013 to coordinate hip surveillance for children with cerebral palsy in the Children’s Healthcare Network Northern Region of New South Wales. The aims of this program are to engage all children requiring cerebral palsy hip surveillance, ensure compliance with the Australian Hip Surveillance Guidelines for Children with Cerebral Palsy, achieve early detection of hip displacement and prompt referral for orthopaedic review and optimize health resource utilisation.

How the Virtual Clinic Works

Eligible patients (children with cerebral palsy or cerebral palsy -like conditions) are referred through the HNEkidsRehab Cerebral Palsy and Movement Disorders clinic or by their community physiotherapist, paediatrician or GP. An initial x-ray form and information packet are sent in the post. X-rays are obtained in the patient’s local area using the x-ray provider of their choice. X-ray images are sent through to the CPHS coordinator and reviewed. Concerns are discussed with medical staff, a plan for follow up is determined, and a report is sent to the family and referrer. Patients are discharged from CPHS as per the Australian Hip Surveillance Guidelines for Children with Cerebral Palsy.

Patient Profile 2013-2017

To date, CPHS has received 313 total referrals (an average of 63 per year). We have had 84 discharges (24% of total), yielding 229 active participants at present. This represents 46% of the expected cerebral palsy population in our area. 83% of CPHS patients live within Hunter New England Local Health District (HNELHD), while 17% come from other Local Health Districts including Mid-North Coast Local Health District and Central Coast Local Health District . For those residing within HNELHD, 56% live in the greater Newcastle metropolitan area, 36% live in regional areas and 8% live in rural areas.

Referrer Profile 2013-2017

To date, 67% of CPHS referrals have come from the HNEkidsRehab Cerebral Palsy and Movement Disorders clinic, 16% from community physiotherapists, 10% from general practitioners and 7% from paediatricians.

Orthopaedic Referral Profile 2013-2017

17% of total CPHS patients have been referred for orthopaedic review, and 10% of total CPHS patients have required orthopaedic surgery.

Family and Referrer Perspectives

We undertook a survey in late 2017 in order to understand the experiences of families and referrers with the CPHS program. Themes that emerged were that families and clinicians value the service but want more information and education about hip surveillance in cerebral palsy and like conditions. Both groups noted that reports can be slow to be received, and families commented that obtaining x-rays can be difficult.

Future Directions

We are planning education sessions with paediatricians and general practitioners in our area to educate them about cerebral palsy hip surveillance and our program, and are also working on developing a resource for clinicians to use in order to identify appropriate patients and refer them to CPHS. We are working with families to develop an effective initial information package revising our reports to make them more informative and accessible to families. We are also liaising with x-ray providers to ensure that families can obtain x-rays easily and that the x-rays are sent to us promptly. In the longer term, work is planned with the two other paediatric rehabilitation services in NSW to develop a unified, statewide approach for cerebral palsy hip surveillance.

If you have any questions or would like more details please contact, Elisabeth Bowes, CPHS coordinator, at [email protected].

The Essentials of Care Program

Essentials of Care (EOC) is a framework which aims to enhance the experiences of patients, families, carers and the staff involved in the delivery of care through the ongoing evaluation and development of safe, effective and compassionate clinical workplace cultures.

This aim is achieved by engaging healthcare teams in collaborative processes that utilise evidence from patients and their families, workplace data and research to inform improvements that impact on patient quality and safety at the point where care is experienced.

The Program’s success and sustainability is a result of the underpinning Practice Development methodology and skilled facilitation which ensures that engagement in service improvement is collaborative, inclusive, participatory and owned locally.

Outcomes achieved by teams using the Essentials of Care Program include:

Increased patient satisfaction, decreased number of complaints and increased number of compliments

Reduction in medication administration errors, MRSA infections, pressure areas and falls

Improved communication and handover between healthcare team and patients

Increased patient/consumer engagement in care planning and case review

Streamlined organisation of patient care processes

Improved documentation and reporting

Increased staff retention

Increased teamwork and staff satisfaction

Increased staff engagement in quality and safety improvements

Effective resource management

Increased leadership development and reflective practice. 1 - 3

Implementation across NSW Health commenced in February 2008 and all Local Health Districts (LHD) are now at various stages of implementation. The implementation of EOC is enabling nurses, midwives, allied health and other clinicians to focus on the development of clinical environments that enhance patient care, teamwork and individual/team work satisfaction. The Essentials of Care Showcase 2018 will be conducted on Thursday 24 May 2018 from 8.15am at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney. This showcase provides an opportunity to celebrate the great work of teams implementing the Essentials of Care program from across the state.

Further information regarding EOC can be found at: http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/nursing/projects/Pages/eoc.aspx.

Registration for The Essentials of Care Showcase 2018 is available from https://ashm.eventsair.com/essentials-of-care/registration/Site/Register.

Interprofessional Family Conferencing Training Program

Interprofessional family conferences are a vital part of patient care, bringing together the treating team with the patient and their family. Effective family conferences require careful planning, facilitation and communication skills. The Interprofessional Family Conferencing Training Program is a patient-focused, people centred training program designed for NSW Health Professionals involved in family conferencing.

The training is delivered through a blended learning package. The online learning module is completed prior to face-to-face training. This module is available on My Health Learning (course code: 98681584) for NSW Health staff. The face-to-face workshop builds on the eLearning component through presentation of videos that incorporate clinical scenarios as well as interactive discussion activities. A simulation activity follows the workshop and uses simulated patient methodology to provide participants with an opportunity to further develop their skills in family conferencing. The program includes resources to develop additional simulation scenarios that reflect the local workplace, culture and/or learning requirements of participants.

HETI have been working on the roll out of this program to introduce the training to districts/networks via train–the–trainer workshops, which target interprofessional educators (or equivalent) to receive training. The training program can then be delivered locally by district/network staff to local teams of health professionals. The training is designed to assist staff who would like to improve the way they deliver family conferencing and promote best practice as well as those with limited experience in family conferences. For further information regarding the program generally please contact Daniella Pfeiffer [email protected] or Sue Aldrich [email protected].

The simulation-based component of the workshop aims to present the key skills required to facilitate and/or participate in a family conference, and provide an opportunity for learners to practice these skills. Participants have the opportunity to participate in a simulated interprofessional family conference that replicates a real-life clinical scenario. Following the simulation participants engage in a debriefing session to reflect on the simulation, think about the experience and consider more effective ways to deal with it in the future.

The Children’s Healthcare Network Allied Health Educators worked collaboratively with HETI to develop simulation scenarios specifically for allied health professionals working with children, young people and their families. We also developed a training DVD that embeds the key skills of interprofessional family conferences in this context. The Allied Health Educators are now able to work collaboratively with local health districts and individual facilities to support the ongoing implementation of the education program and integration of interprofessional family conferencing into clinical practice, particularly with children, young people and their families.

If you and your colleagues are interested in accessing the Interprofessional Family Conferencing Training Program , please contact one of the Allied Health Educators (see contact details page 8).

My Dreamin’ Circles

Planning is an important first step in working with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). With the right tools, people with a disability can think about their lives and the supports they need to live a ‘deadly’ life.

With that in mind, the “My Dreamin’ Circles” planning tool was developed with input from Aboriginal people with disability, their families and carers.

The focus of the tool is to strengthen the person’s ability to choose their goals and aspirations and guide their life choices.

Using the Dreamin’ Circles, anyone can begin to work out how to have a ‘deadly’ life.

The image below shows 10 linked and titled circles that people can fill in with information about their lives. The circles use the Koori colours of red and black, while the background is coloured yellow. The image also contains four hands. Two of these hands are outlines, have titles and can be written in.

The titled graphics that people can write in include:

People in my life.

What’s deadly in my life?

Who can help me?

My future?

Listen up: What’s important to me.

My life (learning, culture, health, mob, work, housing, community, and money).

What I want to change?

What is stopping me?

Things that I do.

What’s wrong in my life?

My action plan: steps to make in my life.

Deadly stuff about me.

The person credited with designing the image is Elizabeth Ervine.

#DLD123 – New Developmental Language Disorder consensus

On 1st May, Dr Natalie Munro presented an Allied Health Telehealth Virtual Education session titled Developmental Language Disorder (DLD): what the new consensus in terminology and clinical decision-making pathway means for paediatric Speech Language Pathologists. Natalie is a Senior Lecturer and the Course Director of the Bachelor of Applied Science (Speech Pathology) at The University of Sydney.

The session provided participants with an evidence-based, contemporary and international understanding of new terminology and clinical decision procedures developed by two international and multidisciplinary Delphi consensus studies, led by Professor Dorothy Bishop.

The AHTVE session was recorded and is available for viewing in the member’s section of the Allied to Kids website. A link to the session abstract and handouts are also available in the 2018 Allied Health Telehealth Virtual Education calendar. Go to the Allied to Kids, Telehealth Virtual Education webpage: http://www.nchn.org.au/a2k/telehealth.html.

Natalie provided a number of journal articles and YouTube clips as recommended pre-learning activities. These are detailed in the session abstract.

The RADLD (Raising Awareness of Developmental Language Disorder) campaign was set up by a group of academics and a speech and language therapist to help raise awareness and understanding about DLD. The RADLD Facebook page includes useful videos, posts and links. Go to https://www.facebook.com/radld.page/.

In 2017, RADLD produced a short film titled DLD 1-2-3. The DLD 1-2-3 video aimed to raise awareness of the 'hidden condition' DLD, helping to make it easier to diagnose and ensuring any child affected is able to access specialist speech and language therapy, and get the support they need.

DLD 1-2-3 highlights the three things you need to know about DLD

DLD 1: Difficulties talking and/or understanding.

DLD 2: Hidden but common.

DLD 3: Support can make a real difference.

DLD 1-2-3, along with other useful clips are available on the RADLD YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/RADLD.

National Palliative Care Week

The theme for this year’s National Palliative Care Week is “What matters most?” and it will be held 20-26 May 2018. National Palliative Care Week is a national week supported by the Department of Health to raise awareness and understanding about palliative care in the Australian community. The theme addresses the need for Australians to plan ahead for their end-of-life care and discuss it with their loved ones and health professionals.

Palliative Care Australia strives to highlight how palliative care can help people with a life-limiting illness to have a high quality of life, right to the end of life. Palliative Care Australia has developed a website with a number of useful resources http://palliativecare.org.au/.

Part of this website is dedicated to paediatric palliative care. Practical information about paediatric palliative care is provided to families who have a child with a life-limiting illness, as well as the people who support them. Information is also available for health professionals to better support families and provide quality paediatric palliative care.

Paediatric palliative care enables the baby, child or young adult to live in an environment where curative treatment can be part of their life, but not their entire focus. It aims to provide the best quality of life through a holistic approach which supports the physical, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of the child and their family.

Information for health professionals on this website is divided into 4 categories:

1. Diagnosis/recognition

2. Ongoing/palliative care

3. End of Life

4. Bereavement.

These categories provide information and many useful resources. Resources developed specifically for family members are also available from the For Carers section of the website http://palliativecare.org.au/carer-resources/diagnosis.

The artwork featured on this website and in the resources was created by children involved with paediatric palliative care teams around Australia.
