First, Do No Harm Context
We are harming patients within the health system. A New Zealand study showed that 12.9% of New Zealanders admitted to hospital suffered an unintended adverse event caused in the management of their condition(s) rather than underlying disease, less than 15% of these adverse events were associated with permanent disability or death and 33% were significantly avoidable1. Avoidable serious adverse events translated to around 276,000 bed days. At an average cost of NZ$13,000 per adverse event, the cost of preventable adverse events is estimated to be around NZ$573 million per annum. Whilst these results are not atypical of any OECD country, no significant systematic change has been made to reduce these harmful events within the New Zealand health sector. The development of the Northern Region’s First, Do No Harm (FDNH) campaign is an acknowledgement that the time has come to have a focussed effort on improving the quality and safety of our health system and to raise the profile of patient safety. Harm minimisation not only improves the patient experience, by reducing suffering associated with unintended harmful effects of treatment, but also improves value for money, by reducing waste associated with provision of ineffective services and interventions to reduce harm. In April 2013, the Health Quality and Safety Commission (HQSC) will be launching a national patient safety campaign. The focus of this campaign includes areas that the Northern Region had identified as priorities. Going forward, FDNH will continue to be the focal point for assisting the Northern Region achieving the national and regional patient safety goals. As such, the FDNH implementation plan includes close alignment to the national priorities and ensures that the national quality and safety markers are an inextricable part of the plan. Objectives Linkages
The FDNH campaign is a vehicle to spread effective process changes that have been shown to reduce harm associated with the provision of healthcare. Main drivers in this priority area include: Having an engaging communication strategy Strong partnership with consumers and clinical staff
‘safer care together’ An effective measurement dashboard to track
progress Fostering regional learning ‘all teach, all learn’ Building the momentum of a safety culture
Health of Older People (HOP) Network
Health Quality and Safety Commission
District Health Boards (DHB) Age-related residential care
(ARRC) sector Primary care networks Consumer support networks
Key achievements Since the launch of the FDNH regional patient safety campaign activities in December 2011, the campaign has primarily focused on building the will, ideas and ability to execute the changes that will result in the reduction of harm. The strength of the campaign to date has been in bringing the region together to focus on particular patient safety topics and providing space and opportunity to learn and share how to achieve sustainable changes. Key achievements over the past 12 months include:
- The use of a formal improvement methodology to guide improvement activities. - Agreed measurement metrics for falls and pressure injuries. - Formal collaborative established on reducing falls and pressure injuries. - Engagement of ARRC sector in the falls and pressure injuries collaborative. - Provision of learning sessions and workshops. - One DHB showing a ‘shift’ in the reduction of harm from falls.

Northern Region Health Plan – May 2013 Appendix A.2 Page 4 of 36
- Supported clinical staff in use of data for improvement work. - Strong linkages continue with other work programmes (i.e. HQSC, HOP Network) to
ensure alignment with national and regional programmes. - Regional GTT workshop held and GTT implemented in all Northern Region DHBs. - Numerous activities/changes tried and tested across the Northern Region to improve
patient care and reduce harm. This activity, combined with the collaboration and sharing of learning, is helping to provide ‘safer care together’. Some examples are: Transfer of Clinical Information ‘yellow envelope’: this envelope has a checklist of
vital patient information printed on it and has helped minimise errors and delays during transfer of care from ARRC facilities to hospital and back.
Intentional rounding: a systematic approach to rounding can improve patients’ experiences of care and build their trust, and improve safety and reliability of care.
Raised the profile of regional patient safety culture – Created space for learning and sharing ideas. – Launched FDNH campaign website www.firstdonoharm.org.nz on 30 March with 4114
unique users to end January 2013. – Three-monthly e-newsletters distributed to 130 subscribers. – Regional ‘How to’ guides underway for falls and pressure injuries.

Cancer Services Context Cancer was the leading cause of death for both males and females in New Zealand in 2009, accounting for 28.9% of all deaths. The impact on people diagnosed with cancer and their whanau can be devastating for months and sometimes years. A whole of system approach via tumour streams is improving access to services and waiting times for patients, with strong multidisciplinary expertise and standard care pathways. Notwithstanding the success of our approaches to date, cancer remains a significant concern for our population and health services.

Cardiovascular Disease Context Improving access to cardiac services will help our population to live longer, healthier, and more independent lives. The Northern Region’s Cardiac Clinical Network has identified the following issues with CVD management in the Northern Region;
There is variation in both access and timeliness of access to core cardiology assessment, investigation and management across the primary-secondary continuum.
Deprived and geographically and/or culturally isolated population groups do not meet accepted intervention rates and health outcomes.
o The reporting infrastructure to measure activity and support improvement initiatives is incomplete across the region for both primary and secondary care.
Objectives Linkages
We want to achieve:
Adequate, timely and equitable levels of access to key cardiac assessment and management across the patient journey through primary and secondary care;
Regionally consistent monitoring and auditing of investigations, management and outcomes across the four DHBs including primary care.
Models of care that better meet the demand and and deliver regionally agreed standards of care by;
o Reducing waiting times for First Specialist Appointments and follow up visits.
o Providing better support for discharged patients.
o Reducing patient admissions.
o Improving patient outcomes

Child & Youth Health Child Health
Context
Most children born or living in the region enjoy good health, but some do not, with the distribution of poor health marked by significant socio-economic and ethnic differences. Inequities can be clearly seen across a range of measures. Maori children and Pacific children experience poorer health than non-Maori, non-Pacific children. Children living in poorer neighbourhoods also have poorer health.
The determinants of child health outcomes extend beyond the traditional boundaries of the heath sector. The health outcomes of our children are affected in a very real way by issues such as the quality of housing, maternal mental health, parental smoking, nutrition income, employment status of caregivers, and urban design which challenge us to think more broadly about solutions. Problems such as overcrowded and unhealthy housing contribute to unacceptable rates of diseases such as skin sepsis and rheumatic fever.
Objectives Linkages
Six main objectives are to:
Optimise health outcomes, including reducing inequities in health outcomes
Use a regional voice to advocate improvements in the upstream determinants of child health
Target our interventions at those who need them most
Improve the capability and capacity of our workforce so that a child receives quality care regardless of where they present
To pool health and other social agency resources more effectively
To achieve greater consistency and quality of care for children
Direct engagement with child and maternity health providers
Vulnerable Children Action Plan and work to progress Better Public Services particularly for RF and Immunisation
GAIHN work plan
NRHP Respiratory priority
Auckland and Northland Councils
Other social sector agencies such as Housing and Education
MoH / NHB work on eradicating Rheumatic Fever

Note: Children are defined as 0 – 14 years, and youth as 15 – 24 years, for the purposes of this document
Inter-linkages between the NRHP and GAIHN work The region has two key programmes of work which include a focus on child health: the Northern Region Health Plan and the Greater Auckland Integrated Health Network. Both of these have a broader focus of which child health is one part. The Child Health Network has worked hard to ensure good alignment and a complementary approach between these two programmes. This approach is summarised as:
The GAIHN child health workstream is directed by the network and aligned with the priorities and focus of the NRHP
The role of the child health GAIHN workstream is to operationalise aspects of the NRHP child health implementation plan, particularly around the development and implementation of paediatric clinical practice guidelines and supporting initiatives to enrol, engage and provide interventions for vulnerable children and pregnant women
There is good cross membership on the network and GAIHN
Northern Region Health Plan – May 2013 Appendix A.2 Page 15 of 36
It is also noted that other initiatives in the broader GAIHN workplan may impact child health, such as the development of the risk assessment tool. Development work on these initiatives will engage with the Child Health Network as appropriate to ensure their applicability for children. Key achievements since July 2012 The formal Northern Region Child Health Network was established in July 2012, building on a collaborative network in the metro area and various joint initiatives across the region. To date, the network has achieved: – Over 12,000 children have received better access to primary care through the school
based program to identify and treat Group A Streptococcus (to prevent Rheumatic fever) and skin infections
– Development of consistent guidelines to manage children who present in primary care for skin infections and lower respiratory tract infections.
– The groundwork for improving communication and training to prevent SUDI through a stocktake of SUDI policies and training in health providers across the region, and a hui for health professionals to develop a regional strategy

Youth Health
Context
New Zealand has a poor record when it comes to young people’s health and wellbeing. Rates of youth suicide, death from motor vehicle injuries, unintended pregnancy and drug and alcohol use are among the highest in the Western world. While most young people born or living in the region enjoy good health, some do not, with the distribution of poor health marked by significant socio-economic and ethnic differences. Inequities can be clearly seen across a range of measures. Maori young people and Pacific young people experience poorer health than non-Maori, non-Pacific young people. Young people living in poorer neighbourhoods also have poorer health.
The determinants of youth health outcomes extend beyond the traditional boundaries of the heath sector. The health outcomes of our youth are affected by wider contexts comprising families, schools and communities, where issues such as poverty, disengagement from school and availability of alcohol are examples of risks which impact of the health and wellbeing of young people. The future of Auckland as a vibrant and economically healthy city depends on our young people being prepared to contribute to their families and communities in a rapidly changing and technology sophisticated world. This requires young people to be healthy, emotionally resilient and engaged in education and training with access to high quality health and social services.
Objectives Linkages
Six main objectives are to:

Diabetes
Context
Diabetes is a chronic disease that leads to disability through blindness, amputation of limbs, cardiovascular disease and renal failure - and it shortens lifespan. Nearly 82,000 people have diabetes in the region and this is projected to grow to 150,000 by 2026 (an increase of 82%). Certain ethnic groups experience higher rates of the disease, particularly Māori, South Asian and Pacific.
Objectives Linkages
There are two key drivers to this priority area
Cost – secondary services will not grow at the same rate that the diabetes population is expected to grow. This is further impacted by the global recession.
There are unacceptable health and life expectancy disparities between ethnic groups in particular Maori, Pacific and South Asian.

Health of Older People
Context
While the proportion of people aged 65+ living in the region is still relatively low, the rate of projected growth is very high over the next 20 years. This is significant because this age group is strongly associated with high admission rates, longer lengths of stay, high residential and community costs, prevalence of dementia doubling, and likelihood of more severe injuries/accidents.
Objectives Linkages
The key drivers for HOP are to:
Plan for projected growth in the population of older people including management of acute demand
Provide informed choice for older people in their care, minimise dependence
Protect the vulnerable and frail aged population who often have complex needs and are socially isolated in the community
Improve service coordination and deliver whole of system care through enhancing cooperation with primary, community and ARRC sectors underpinned by a knowledgeable workforce.

Key achievements over 2012/13 The Health of Older People (HOP) Clinical Network has developed a strong focus and measurement around key areas such as dementia, acute hospitalisation and falls/pressure injuries. Much of this work has been successfully achieved in partnership with other networks like First Do No Harm, GAIHN and Advance Care Planning. Of note, has been establishment of a robust and formalised regional communication framework with the 200 Aged Related Residential Care (ARRC) providers throughout the northern region.
√ The network has achieved
– Strong linkages with other work programmes (i.e. National Dementia Project, FDNH & ACP Networks & GAIHN) to ensure alignment with national and regional programmes.
– A KPI reporting framework comprising several patient outcome measures. – Development of a Consumer Relationship strategy for HOP. – Supporting FDNH, DHBs and many ARRC providers to be involved in a formal
cross-sector collaborative on falls and pressure injuries. – Publication of a regional Dementia Services Guidelines Document. – Regional collaboration around Dementia Care Pathway development. – Active participation across national dementia initiatives. – Adoption of a regionally consistent Transfer of Clinical Information process
(“Yellow Envelope”) – Annual target of ACP conversations with people >65 years exceeded by second
quarter. – Enhanced understanding of interRAI capability and challenges, and defining of
regional leadership required to support ARRC and DHB sectors.

Stroke
Context
The impact of strokes on individuals and their whanau / family is significant. There is a very high risk of death, and for those that survive, the disability caused by the stroke can impact on the ability to work and live independently. The disability often requires support from family and external help to support the person at significant emotional and financial cost. Strokes in the under-65 age group is particularly challenging because of the loss of income and impact on young families.
Strokes are largely preventable with improvements to lifestyle such as blood pressure control, stopping smoking, limiting alcohol intake and having a balanced diet with low salt. TIA’s also usually provide a good warning sign that a stroke is imminent. Good care of an acute stroke patient will improve the chances of survival and recovery.
Objectives Linkages
Strengthening the regional focus on stroke is designed to build on the improvements made in this region over the past few years. This is aimed to further improve the health and social outcomes for patients who have had a stroke.
The key drivers to this priority area:
Strengthen the regional focus on stroke services in key areas
Use the region’s intellectual and physical resources to improve stroke care
Avoid duplication
District Health Boards (DHB)
NZ Stroke Foundation
Greater Auckland Integrated Health Network (GAIHN)
Rehabilitation sector
Achievements since July 2012 The first (foundation) year of the Stroke RSP is progressing well, in large part due to the well- established regional stroke network (in place for close to a decade) and strong national support from the NZ Stroke Foundation.
√ Achieved – Progress against patient outcome targets – Development and implementation of stroke protocols – Regional and national collaboration with TIA Pathway development – Participation in regional rehabilitation asset planning – Directly updating and advising the Minister of Health – Strong linkages and input into national work programmes facilitated by NZ
Stroke Foundation.

Radiology implementation plan
Context
Radiology provides screening, diagnostic and treatment imaging support to other clinical services. Imaging is an integral part of healthcare. By providing diagnostic information at critical points in the patient journey, imaging services rationalise the need for intervention and target where it will have the greatest benefit.
Clinical practice is changing for radiology, driven by new models of care which sees health care increasingly being delivered in the community, and the introduction of new targets and pathways, particularly for cancer.
It is capital intensive service, particularly in high tech/high cost modalities such as CT and MR. The tight current fiscal environment means we will need to work differently to afford the projected future demand
There are also significant workforce shortages in key areas (e.g. Sonographers).
Objectives Linkages
The key drivers to this priority area:
A sustainable workforce in all Radiology related professional groups
Maximising productivity of radiology resources
Improving equitable and timely access to high quality imaging
More efficient and accurate access to health information by health providers and the public
Multiregional Radiology Group
Regional and national PET-CT variance committees

Pharmacy implementation plan
Context
People need access to the right medicines at the right time and with pharmacy support according to individual need. However, population growth, our aging population and the increasing numbers of new medicines is putting increasing pressure on our ability to ensure that patients receive the right level of medication management support and costs are managed.
Commencing July 2012, the funding model for community pharmacy changed from a fee-for-item to a patient-centred model based on need rather than a ‘one size fits all’ service. In this new model, called Community Pharmacy Services Agreement (CPSA), the dispensing fees are funded from a national fixed funding envelope, and the services signal a significant change in practice whereby pharmacists provide services based on need to individual patients and will work toward becoming an integral member of the patient’s care team to improve medication safety and management.
The region will face challenges implementing the significant changes to models of pharmacy care within the large numbers of pharmacies in the region.
Objectives Linkages
This year we want to achieve:
Support the implementation of a sustainable pharmacy model, through supporting the change of practice driven by the new funding model
Support the foundations for integration of community pharmacy into primary care teams including localities.
Over the next two or three years we expect to see measurable improvements in key performance areas including:
Further development and implementation of services tailored to patient need within CPSA with a focus on improved patient outcome
Better integration of community pharmacy and the primary care sector
Pharmacist working in roles across the medication management continuum ensuring patients are not falling through the gaps at transitions of care
Progressive roll out of medications safety initiatives and e-medication management applications across the continuum of care
Community pharmacists
Hospital pharmacists
Primary care clinicians
Hospital specialist services
Primary care locality networks

Key achievements since July 2012
- All community pharmacies in the northern region signing the new community pharmacy services agreement.
- All community pharmacies in the northern region signing the first variation of the new community services agreement.
- All PHOs supportive of the concepts in the new community pharmacy services agreement at governance level.

Electives implementation plan
Context
National directions place significant emphasis upon Better Sooner More Convenient elective services. Over the past three years the wait time targets for elective FSA and treatment has progressively been reduced from 6 months in 11/12, to 5 months in 12/13 and 4 months by 13/14. In addition, DHBs are working to increase the number of elective surgery cases being done.
While the Northern Region DHBs have achieved their electives targets in the past, we will be challenged to fulfil our commitment in the future. Constraints on capital funding limit our ability to build additional capacity. To be able to continue to meet our targets our DHBs have actively sought new ways to improve elective productivity within existing resources.
We are progressively standardising access and care through the development pathways for a range of clinical decisions so that most people who require elective services receive fast and consistent decisions and we have implemented a range of initiatives to improve productivity and efficiency.
We have identified a number of regional initiatives in areas where we can make the most gain by working regionally, with a strong focus on building on the work which has been done locally. We also acknowledge that elective services are managed differently in each DHB and so have focussed on initiatives which have a universal impact across our region.
Objectives Linkages
The objectives of the regional work are to:
Identify and implement the initiatives which will benefit all DHBs and assist in meeting the ESPI 2 & 5 targets
Support a more collaborative approach between our DHBs
Build on existing work and leverage those we are confident will provide the best results
Provide a more proactive and forward view of the pressure points and constraints by service and by DHB
improve equitable access to services for our population
