Clinical Governance Review: Improving service quality through frontline staff

Why review CG?

• GNCH open for 2 years.

• Increase in children/families choosing the GNCH for their care (workload increase estimated at 15%)

• Complexity of GNCH– has many departments and services – large wards with multiple teams per ward– several directorates manage children on its wards

• National drivers: – Quality improvement through empowering frontline staff.– Mid Staffordshire Review 6th Feb 2013 (“The Francis report”).

A note from the Francis Report• 290 recommendations, 164 witnesses• Structured around

– Warning signs– Governance and culture

• Failure – systems, organisations and individuals• Fundamental change in culture required• Change will not result from “top down” approach• Need to secure the engagement of every single person

serving the patient

Page 8: Clinical Governance…or Quality and Safety at the GNCH Mike Mckean

Sharing and Boundaries: Themes

a. If in well defined area CG and QI can work well

b. Things fall between boundaries: ward, depts., directorates, local trusts and nationally (other children’s hospitals). – a 'cloud' where things don't always get followed through – we need to create a 'bridge' between pockets of good practice

c. Need education into what CG is
