My Senior Charge Midwife experience using LBC
Leading Better Care – Delivering for Patients 20TH February 2013
Angela Carlin
LBC – My Thoughts
At Last… a resource tool to help me…
Engage with policy change Develop myself to an advanced level of autonomy Utilise critical thinking Participate in a higher level of decision making Give myself permission to put problem solving techniques in
place Influence values and to establish a culture of productivity to
improve care Develop my team to embrace measuring quality outcomes Lead on safety issues and redefine roles and responsibilities to
enhance the patient experience
Realise that this will be a transformational journey for me!!!!
LBC - Learning
What was my own leadership style?
What kind of a leader I needed to be?
How could I could build on the skills I had learned previously?
LBC – Permission To take time out
to reflect and develop an action plan that facilitated fulfilling my ward vision as well as working towards delivering on the quality agenda
To reflect to look at the patient journey to make adjustments to improve their experience where needed
To refresh Chance to re-visit issues with my team in order that we could plan, discuss and be
visionary to finding solutions to long term issues
To enhance knowledge Utilise workforce, workload planning from the NES toolkit Vision of what I needed to change in order to achieve improved quality Provided me with confidence when discussing/ negotiating with my Lead Midwife on
ward requirements
To apply the knowledge of workforce planning to appropriately delegate workload right to
deliver safe, effective and person-centered care
LBC – Role Development
LBC let me understand… that I shouldn’t feel constrained - I already had the skills for the job, I just need to
give myself the permission to apply them more effectively
LBC gave me the tools… to put into practice my knowledge and experience as labour ward sister and
Community Midwifery Team Leader
LBC increased my self awareness… to lead the team more effectively by becoming more informed and responsive to
future programmes and initiatives
LBC developed my confidence to reassure me that I could be a more effective SCM, who was on the right path,
it showed me how I could keep on the path and without taking the scenic route
LBC - Personal changes Improved communication style
I now talk WITH rather than TO my staff
Implemented daily verbal updates
To reinforce and discuss our vision To discuss the requirements to perform our ward measures To ensure they were aware of what local or national initiatives we would be implementing
making the team more informed and involved in planning for the ward and the care we provide
Introduction of a 2pm huddle
To act on the permission I had given myself to move the ward forward for implementing quality improvement initiatives’ such as RTC, Better Together
To tap into the resourcefulness of the team to make successful improvements and time to fulfill everyone’s needs.
Less firefighting Reduced change management issues resulting less of me firefighting and instead allowed me to support the
team through the embedding process of change
LBC – Light Bulb Moment
Think about your own area of practice……
LBC EXERCISE (1)…..
What activities are carried out in your ward/team that do not add value to patient care?
Then……
LBC EXERCISE (2)…..
Consider ways to shift the balance of work so that more time is spent on direct patient care, without employing more staff.Think about the staff you have and how you might deploy them in a different or better way.
LBC – Ward Changes Utilisation of the NMWWP Learning Toolkit
My “Bible” – applying the toolkit allowed me to effectively change the skill mix within my ward, whilst keeping within my budgeted establishment
Combining LBC learning and the NMWWP toolkit Allowed me to engage in quality improvement initiatives e.g. RTC activity
tracking Enabled me to apply PDSA to improve safety, efficacy and person centered care
within my ward e.g. breast feeding Improvements
Utilised NA workforce in a different way to meet the standard 10 steps for UNICEF accreditation to become baby friendly certified
to achieve compliance for our NHSGGC breastfeeding Clinical Quality Indicators
Developments NA’s received UNICEF Baby friendly breast feeding training NA’s now support women and midwife colleagues with breast feeding to achieve
the standards set
During team huddle time it was suggested we should add to our team!
I reflected and thought this chap might meet the bill.
However I realised he’d cause too
many interruptions……!
So I Introduced the Housekeeper
Role
LBC – Further Developments
Redeployment of Workload identified the staff group that I would utilise in a more effective way
Releasing Time to Care gave evidence to demonstrate that NA’s needed released from daily house
keeping duties to redirect their time to the bedside ensured timely assistance for Mum’s whilst reducing interruptions for
midwives to concentrate on direct patient care that only they could provide
Implementation Discussions with Lead Midwife, 6 month trial period a newly developed housekeeper/clerk role
Result A ‘Win Win’ result was achieved!
LBC - Impact As a ward we haven't looked back.
We have consistently achieved 100% for our monthly breast feeding CQI’s since May 2012
We have maintained our UNICEF Baby Friendly accreditation
Success was recognised last year with the housekeeper/clerk receiving a nomination and award for her contribution to patient care in the NHSGGC Facing the Future Awards
House keeper role is now being replicated with success in most departments and sites with the Women and Children's Directorate and beyond
LBC – My Thoughts
At Last… a resource tool to help me…

enhance the patient experience
Realise that this will be a transformational journey for me!!!!
LBC - Outcome
I’ve loved it.
It was what I was waiting for, a personal challenge, I enjoy developing my team and people in general – so by developing myself through LBC this had a beneficial effect for everyone not only myself.
LBC - Update Implementing and integrating examination
of low risk new-born babies into midwives daily remit, an area previously undertaken by paediatric colleagues
Continual review of staffing workload and remit this time focusing on MCA and Nursery nurse roles
Benefits from this service improvement:
Improved patient experience through continuity of care and carer.
Reduces discharge delays for families through improved planning and communication.
Enhancement of midwifery skills to improve confidence and problem solving abilities, thus allowing participation for the person centered journey
LBC – My Top Tips
Intermittently observe each grade of staff and what they do
Modify where appropriate
However:
Adopt the NES NMWWP Toolkit as your “Bible” SCM/N need to develop a personal ward action plan to
help maintain the momentum for change management and ALSO to support sustainability
My thought for today!
LBC taught me that to be a successful SCM/SCN …….was NOT to wait for the storm to pass...... but to learn “THE SKILLS” to dance in the rain!

Measuring effectiveness/ impact can help you and your organisation toimprove plans, policies and practices and ensure maximum benefit forthe patient/client/family, team and organisation.
It’s about demonstrating to ourselves and others how we are making a difference by:
assessing whether what we do is effective in reaching our aims acknowledging and sharing information about what has been less
effective feeding back knowledge and understanding of activities creating transparency in what we do targeting funding and commitment on effective interventions enabling those involved to share their experiences and turn them into

What do we mean by impact?What do we mean by impact?
What do we mean by impact?What do we mean by impact?
Impact is simply all the changes resulting from an activity, project,service or organisation. It includes intended as well as unintended effects, negative as well
aspositive, and long-term as well as short-term impact
Some commonly used terminology is given below: Outputs are direct products of programme activities and may
include types, levels and targets of services to be delivered by the programme.
An Outcome is a result. Outcomes are all the changes and effects that happen as a result of your work, and are linked to words reflecting ‘change’; improvement, decrease, reduction, expansion, development, sustain.
Impact is the effect that outcomes have on systems and processes, and refers to broader, longer-term change. If benefits to participants are shown to have been achieved, then changes in organisations, communities or systems might be expected to occur

What we have done…..What we have done…..
Developed an electronic resource that supports SCN, SCM and TL’s to demonstrate the impact of their role
The resource is aligned to both the LBC components and the Quality Ambitions
The resource is linked to the NES Education and Development framework for SCN, SCM and TL’s
The resource is also aligned and integrated with; eKSF, Advance Practice/Post-Reg Career framework and Local PDP resources

Using the Toolkit
SCN Steve Elliott
Initial ThoughtsRepetition of the ‘scorecard’
More office time and less clinical time
Thoughts after using the Toolkit
• Encompasses all aspects of our role• Some repetition of data• Made me re-evaluate what evidence I need to
be sure my team are providing safe, effective, patient centred care.
Specific Issues
• Repetition, e.g. SPSP data:Dimension 1- How are we doingDimension 4-Why are we doing it• EvidenceRTC/Compassionate care ‘post it’ comments are
just as valid as a full Patient Satisfaction Survey.
Summary
• Easy to use• As an experienced SCN it made me re-evaluate
if I could evidence my role. • I can use it as part of my KSF evidence.
Levels of access• User - all users of site, i.e. SCNs,
SCMs and Team Leaders • Test User - access to site same as
users, but information will not be included in reports etc i.e. facilitators, trainers, nurse mangers etc
• Board Admin - access to site in admin mode, but again information will not be included in reports, but user can produce reports for individual Board
• Admin -access to site in admin mode, but again information will not be included in reports, but user can produce reports across NHS Scotland

Conference Postcards Wordle This session
Focus groups 5 undertaken to date High level themes –
NES Education & Development framework / local LBC programmes Supervisory / limited case load Networking / sharing opportunities invaluable Administration support Succession planning Team involvement
Good News Stories 1
My experience of LBC has had a positive effect on myself and my
team, many positive changes have been introduced due to my
knowledge being enhanced and my confidence and understanding
increasing, and also I now have the tools that enable me to evidence
the high standard of patient centred care that was being delivered.
As a SCN I believe I have made positive changes within my team,
and my team and I feel this was helped by attending LBC. The whole
experience was enjoyable and informative and for once SCNs were
all together in one room sharing their experiences, worries and
successes.”
Good News Stories 2
When I began the LBC programme, I saw myservice as being very widely dispersed, whichmeant there were limited opportunities tonetwork with colleagues on issues other than those thatare very pragmatic, like bank usage and sickness levels.On the programme, I was fortunate to be grouped withseveral learning disability colleagues, giving us verypositive networking opportunities. I know many of mycolleagues felt similar to me at the start, andstrengthening our common bond has been hugelyhelpful.
Good News Stories 3...
I became involved LBC over 4 years ago. I wasasked to be a pilot ward for CQI’s and review ofSCN role. Initially I was extremely sceptical howthis would be of any benefit to patients and staff and feltit would be an impossible task to implement within theexisting resources. I was very much “hands on” andcase load holding within the ward being included in thedaily ward numbers. This meant I was continuallyjuggling both clinical and managerial roles but regularlynot doing justice to either.
see next slide....
Good News Stories 3 cont…
LBC and fulfilling the revised SCN role has givenme control back over my full ward. I can supervise,coordinate and manage efficiently andeffectively, identifying what is happening withinthe ward to both patients and staff. It allows me toidentify any issues or problems and addressthese promptly. I have opportunity to support allmy staff, and introduce myself to all patients. Ican manage ward capacity and ensure thatall agendas are being addressed.
Good News Stories 4
The publication of Leading Better Care outlines thesenior charge nurse role for us and I hope that all NHSboards pay attention to it in the way that mine does. Forme, it is essential that I do not carry a daily case load and I like the fact that the clinical quality indicators allowus to evidence our care clearly. It is a document that weshould be working to. It was published for a reason.We SCNs are key to influencing care and ensuring theprovision of high quality care to our patients. They relyon us. And, just in case you’re still wondering….You can’t be astaff nurse and a SCN at the same time!

Reliability and human factors
At some level all of the challenges we face are reliability

Jim’s Story
• Retired Joiner• Married to Mary • 2 children and 6
grandchildren• Keen bowler• Interested in politics• Enjoys gardening and
his allotment
Susanne Forrest, NES, 2012
Jim’s story – Scenario 1
• Admitted via A&E with chest pain • The fact that he has a diagnosis of dementia is not established.• Limited information is requested /obtained from Mary and his wider
family.• Jim is admitted to the medical receiving ward for “further tests”.• Jim becomes very anxious and disorientated in the new
environment – he is then moved to three different wards• His community mental health nurse is not contacted.• Staff understanding and tolerance of dementia is poor.• Jim gets quite agitated – staff identify him as at risk of “wandering
and aggression”.
Susanne Forrest, NES, 2012
Jim’s story – Scenario 1 (cont)• Jim is commenced on psychotropic medication to “calm him down”.• The sedative effects lead to Jim having reduced mobility and being
at risk of falls, increased incontinence, disturbed sleep pattern and being less able to take meals and drinks.
• Jim is catheterised due to increased incontinence – this leads to a urinary tract infection.
• Jim develops delirium, leading to increased dependency and confusion.
• Jim suffers a number of falls; while no serious injuries are sustained, he is now covered in bruises and continues to lose weight.
• The staff have now put Jim on one to one observation level to manage “risk”.
• After a 35 day stay, Jim is transferred to a care home as the staff and Mary feel he will no longer be able to be supported at home.
Susanne Forrest, NES, 2012
“Expectations will always exceed capacity. The service must
always be changing, growing and improving…”.
Aneurin Bevan, 1948
“Every system is perfectly designed to get the results
it gets.”
Senge
To be safe and effective, you need a reliable process based
on human factors design.
Definition Of Reliability for Health Care
Failure free operation over time
David Garvin Harvard Business School
Quantifying Reliability
• Reliability = Number of actions that achieve the intended result Total number of actions taken
• Defect rate = 1 minus Reliability
Example: in a 10 day period, your friend picks you up for work 6 days on time
Reliability = # of total intended actions = 6 = 60% # of actions taken 10
Defect Rate= 100%-60%= 40%
According to Homer…
But every time I learn something new, it pushes something old out of my brain ....
What are Human Factors?
• Fatigue
• Sleep Deprivation
• Shift work
• Training and experience
• Overload
• Psychosocial factors…
“Health care is the only industry that does not believe that fatigue diminishes performance.”

Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma related to gravitational challenge: systematic review of randomised
controlled trialsGordon C S Smith, Jill P Pell. BMJ 2003;327;1459-1461
• Aim: To determine whether parachutes are effective in preventing major trauma related to gravitational challenge.
• Design: Systematic review of randomised controlled trials
• Results: Our search strategy did not find any randomised controlled trials of the parachute.
Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma related to gravitational challenge: systematic review of randomised
controlled trialsGordon C S Smith, Jill P Pell. BMJ 2003;327;1459-1461
Conclusion:
As with many interventions intended to prevent ill health, the effectiveness of parachutes has not been subjected to rigorous evaluation by using randomised controlled trials.
Advocates of evidence based medicine have criticised the adoption of interventions evaluated by using only observational data.
We think that everyone might benefit if the most radical protagonists of evidence based medicine organised and participated in a double blind, randomised, placebo controlled, crossover trial of the parachute
The aspirin example
• In patients who have had a stroke or TIA aspirin reduces risk by 23%
• 100,000 patients – 23,000 fewer strokes
• 58% of eligible patients receive aspirin = 13,340 fewer strokes
Two options
• Fidelity – increase to 100% of eligible patients = 9,660 strokes
• Efficacy – requires a proportional improvement over aspirin of 74%
• Clopidogrel = 10% more efficacy than aspirin

High reliability organisations?
If we want a new level of performance, we must get a new system
• Most problems in organisations do not come from individual workers.
• Most problems come from the structure of the systems themselves, and people are only parts of those systems.
• Changing the people, or pushing them to "try harder" or "do better" will not result in improved performance.
Human Factors
• physical demands, • skill demands, • mental workload,
and • other such factors
• adequate lighting, • limited noise, or other
distractions • device design, and • team dynamics
Human Factors Engineering: Examines a particular activity in terms of its component tasks and then considers each task in terms of:
Human Factors Violations
• Fatigue• Lack of sleep• Illness• Drugs or alcohol• Boredom• Frustration• Fear • Stress• Shift work• Reliance on
memory
• Reliance on vigilance• Distractions• Noise• Heat• Clutter• Motion• Lighting• Too many handoffs• Unnatural workflow
What is a Bundle?
• Combining reliability theory and human factors
• It is a set of evidence based steps that experts believe are critical
• Having the steps joined provides a “forcing function.”
Bundle Implementation
• The steps must all be completed to succeed
• The “all or none” feature is the source of the bundle’s power
• Pass/fail

Ventilator Care bundle
• Head of bed elevation 30 degrees
• Sedation vacation
• PUD prophylaxis
• DVT prophylaxis
• Multi Disciplinary Rounds Daily goals
Reality!
• Measurement of the ventilator bundle elements for 8 patients– Head of Bed > 30 degrees = 35%– Sedation Hold = 50%– PUD prophylaxis = 85%– DVT prophylaxis = 100%– Bundle ‘ All or nothing concept’
0% compliance to the ventilator bundle
Aim: Reduce VAP rates by 30% by Oct 2006 by implementing the VAP care bundle in Intensive care
Cycle 1a: Test sedation hold element of bundle on one patient with one nurse and one anaesthetist
Cycle 1c: Test sedation hold element of bundle on three patients with three nurses and one anaesthetist using feedback from first test
Cycle 1e: Test sedation hold on all patients with completion of a ventilator bundle sticker
Cycle 1d: Test sedation hold guideline with exclusions five patients with five nurses and one anaesthetist
Cycle 1b:Test repeated with another patient with different nurse and anesthetist
Process Change: Testing the sedation hold element of the ventilator bundle with frontline staff

Current Improvement methods in healthcare are highly
dependent on vigilance and hard work
The Reliability Gap - Reason 1
The focus on outcomes tends to exaggerate the reliability within healthcare giving clinicians a
false sense of security
The Reliability Gap - Reason 2
Permissive clinical autonomy creates and allows wide
performance margins
The Reliability Gap - Reason 3
The use of deliberate designs to articulated reliability goals
seldom occurs
The Reliability Gap - Reason 4
Current Common Standardization Strategies
• Experts over multiple meetings design a comprehensive protocol using evidence based medicine
• The protocol is usually presented as a finished product
• Customisation is infrequently tolerated after the protocol is finished (but done in secret)
• Standardised protocols commonly are expected to be stand alone and the end of the design
New Standardisation Concepts
• Standardisation is done to provide the appropriate infrastructure
• Initial standardised protocols should have very small time investment by experts
• Customisation in the initial stages should be required and encouraged
• Changes in the protocol when generally accepted are possible but monitored
• Defects are used to move to a learning system
Error Reduction StrategiesError Reduction Strategies• Avoid reliance on memory• Simplify• Standardise• Use constraints/forcing functions• Use protocols and checklists• Improve information access • Reduce handoffs• Decrease look-alikes• Automate carefully• Take advantage of habits and patterns• Promote effective team functioning
Jim’s Story – Scenario 2
When Jim is admitted• Full Information about Jim’s dementia and how he
currently copes was obtained from Mary and other family members. This is Me document completed and Butterfly Scheme discussed with family.
• Jim’s community mental health nurse was contacted and visited Jim and his family in hospital and also provided the staff with advice about how to support him.
• Jim was admitted to the assessment ward for further tests but no further ward moves occurred. Butterfly displayed.

Jim’s Story – Scenario 2
• Staff in the ward had a good understanding and management of dementia and delirium.
• Mary and other family members stayed with Jim to support him and help out with his care.
• Staff work in partnership with Mary, other family members, and Jim’s community mental health nurse to support Jim to maintain his optimal abilities
• Jim was discharged home after three days

6 Key Challenges
• Political
• Economic
• Demographic
• Epidemiological
• Population Health
• Changing Expectations
And so…..
Questions;
Is the answer to this range of challenges likely to be one dimensional?
Is the optimal response likely to lie in just doing more of the same or just changing everything?
How should healthcare leaders deploy our combined efforts?
It’s complicated….
Too bad all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving cabs and cutting hair.

The only show in town
• Clear strategy• Integrated governance• Shared outcomes• Better implementation• Better spread• The right thing to do
3 Quality Ambitions
• Mutually beneficial partnerships between patients, their families and those delivering healthcare services. Partnerships which respect individual needs and values and which demonstrate compassion, continuity, clear communication and shared decision-making.
• No avoidable injury or harm from the healthcare they receive, and that they are cared for in an appropriate, clean and safe environment at all times.
• The most appropriate treatments, interventions, support and services will be provided at the right time to everyone who will benefit, with no wasteful or harmful variation.
Our ‘2020 Vision’
EVERYONE IS ABLE TO LIVE LONGER HEALTHIER LIVES, AT HOME, OR IN A HOMELEY SETTING
• We will have a healthcare system where we have integrated health and social care, a focus on prevention, anticipation and supported self management.
• When hospital treatment is required, and cannot be provided in a community setting, day case treatment will be the norm.
• Whatever the setting, care will be provided to the highest standards of quality and safety, with the person at the centre of all decisions.
• There will be a focus on ensuring that people get back into their home or community environment as soon as appropriate, with minimal risk of re-admission.
“The 3rd Curve” Prevention, Co-production and
Population Health
• Given the challenges – hard to see sustainable route without this – can’t treat our way through this.
• Untapped potential of public activation
• Patients tell us that healthy living is a key outcome for them
Institute for Healthcare ImprovementFramework for Leadership for Improvement
Assets vs Deficits
Assets thinking•Strengths based•How can we create community spirit?•What can I do?•We’re all in this together•We’re getting there•Work with engaged people•People have the answers•People control their lives
Deficit thinking•Problem orientated•How to fix this problem?•Someone needs to sort this•Us versus them•Problems are embedded•Do things to people •People are a problem•People can’t be trusted to decide/be in control
Theory 1
• The leaders of the future need to be experts in performance, quality and co-production. They will be comfortable with complexity and conflict and generous with power.
Theory 2
• Reliability of values, ethics and behaviours is likely to be just as important as reliable clinical practice.
What will it take?
• Redesign, creativity and innovation• New technologies and better use of
existing technology• Prevention, assets and activation• Up our game on safe, effective and person
centred care• Continued focus on performance and
improvement• Shared and renewed ethics and values
Some final thoughts about leadership
Leadership is about getting people to want to do the right thing.
Great things are accomplished by talented people who believe they will accomplish them.
