2663 bed dayssaved over last financial year
In-patient days saved
Patient satisfaction
• 53% return• 99.8% of those
describing the service as excellent
• 2.55% re-admission rate• (20% non-OPAT related)
Setting up OPAT – the process
Feasibility study – 2003 to 2004 24 patients, 92% willing and suitable, >100
potential bed days saved Business case – 2004 to 2005 Pilot - 2006/7 Service – 2008 to present time
Model Hospital-based, small number of specialist nurses,
under care of Infectious Diseases consultants
BUT Existing and under-utilised intermediate care
service with community-based nursing teams No suitable clinical area in ID ward Hospital and community “arms” of OPAT - started
as pilot and expanded
Challenges
Moving Goalposts
Initially emphasis on maintaining tariff for admission
Subsequently emphasis on admission avoidance
Bed days saved = beds closure?
Patient satisfaction – a priority?
Outcomes
Two Primary Care Trusts
Wanted different models of care
Only one PCT funded OPAT
?post code service Differing skills of
community service in each PCT
What didn't work
Repeated meetings with “key-stakeholders” Identifying key stake-holders Changing staff Misconceptions re OPAT (eg all patients on IV
antibiotics suitable for OPAT) Presentations to medical staff
What did work
Easy referral process Patient hand-held notes (photocopies) Monthly meetings between hospital and
community teams Patient letters of support Real time data and audit (“red legs”) Nice staff = great patient satisfaction data
What did work
Weekly/monthly email to key-stakeholders -1 line!
OPAT on agenda at Trust infection control meeting
Nurses visiting key areas (A & E, Ortho clinics, medical wards)
OPAT within hospital guidelines on cellulitis Patient satisfaction survey presented at
service user meetings and Trust Board
How does the UHNS OPAT model differ from other services?
Use of existing district nurses allows patients to be treated in their own homes
BUT training issues Use of clinical photography to complement
hand-held notes in cellulitis cases Combination of midlines, Hickman lines,
venflons and butterfly
Vision OPAT team based in clinical area taking direct GP
referrals in addition to hospital referrals Integration into other ambulatory care services Offering patient choice of
Inpatient care Treatment at home
Daily OP care – with review by ID team
3 hospital-based nurses who rotate into community New IRLS (Integrated Red Leg Service) Self administration
Self - administration• Carefully selected patients• Training period• Robust follow-up
• Only two patients so farbut increasing experienceand confidence• Empowering patients and
decreasing costs
