Building Capability

Successful transformation requires a prevailing culture that strives for improvement. A culture that is open about problems, receptive to change and committed to doing what is best for patients is a vital foundation for a successful and sustainable long-term transformation. We will work with the Executive Director of Finance to continue to help Divisions to generate ideas and translate into practice. We will continue to look nationally and internationally at new care models that can be adopted within our Trust and will continue to work with colleagues as part of the Shelford Group Network for transformational change to learn from each other. We will work with the Organisational Development (OD) team and the Associate Director of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion to embed the values and behaviours of the Trust through our transformation programmes of work. We will continue to run “Transform Together” quarterly as a means of sharing examples of change projects and for individuals / teams to gain recognition for their work. Each quarter there will be a winning project that will be put forward for the the Proud of You Awards. We will continue to publicise the "Transform Together Innovation Fund", providing a small amount of funding to projects that will have a big impact for our patients. We will publish case studies to share the work and look at what can be scaled up into different areas. Lead Executive Director;- Executive Director for Human and Corporate Resources

CMFT Outpatient Standards Over 1 million patients are seen across our outpatient settings and for many this is the only time they will come in contact with our services. This is why we are committed to improving our outpatient services to provide the best patient experience. During 2017/18 our Hospitals will continue to implement their own improvement delivery plans against the CMFT outpatient standards. We will continue to work with the Eye Hospital to become an exemplar site through implementation of the actions agreed between staff and patients through the experience based design process and demonstrate tangible improvements in patient experience if all 12 outpatient standards are met. We will ensure best practice is shared across our Hospitals and will continue to work with the nursing team to implement an accreditation process for outpatients to ensure the standards become "business as usual". Lead Executive Directors:- Medical Director & Chief Operating Officer

OUR 2017/18 COMMITMENTS, WE WILL:-

Follow up experience based design within MREH working with staff and patients

Work with the nursing directorate team to roll out the outpatient accreditation scheme

Maximising Elective Activity Approximately 100,000 patients are treated electively within CMFT and the NHS Constitution promises patients a limit on any wait for tests, outpatient care or planned operations. Timely referrals for treatment leads to better outcomes for patients. In order to improve care for our elective patients we need to ensure that as soon as the decision is made to treat we have the most efficient and effective processes for pre-operative assessment, theatre listing and enhanced recovery. During 2017/18 our Hospitals will continue to implement their improvement plans to deliver against the Elective CMFT standards and will implement the new pre-operative assessment services proven by Gynaecology to be effective. The Transformation Team will work closely with the Surgical Division to implement new models for general surgery as part of Healthier Together with UHSM. In addition we will work with the Children’s Hospital to plan their capacity requirements for 17/18. We will support the roll out the theatre accreditation scheme. Lead Executive Directors:- Medical Director & Chief Operating Officer

OUR 2017/18 COMMITMENTS, WE WILL:-

Embed the new surgical pre-op process/model and ERAS+ in Division of Surgery and ensure timely decisions support discharge

Work with Surgery to implement new general surgery models of care for high risk elective surgery as part of Healthier Together

Deliver a Rapid Improvement Event for Elective Orthopaedics at Trafford

Work with the nursing team to roll out theatre accreditation for the elective standards to become “business as usual”

Optimising the Non Elective Pathway Over 300,000 people attend our adult and children Emergency Departments every year. Emergency demand continues to rise and therefore there is a requirement to ensure collaborative working with key partners across Central Manchester to manage patients as far as possible closer to home and ensure our internal processes are efficient for patients to be safely discharged earlier. We will continue to implement year 3 of the MRI/Trafford Urgent Care Strategy focusing on streaming medical patients as outlined by good practice research and developing our rehabilitation services for stroke patients, vascular patients and those requiring general rehabilitation. We will focus on compliance with the CMFT SAFER standards for all inpatients ensuring the length of stay blueprint is being followed in order to reduce length of stay. We will work with the Medical Division to ensure that frailty is flagged on admission and more complex patients are identified early and appropriate intervention is in place. We will embed the “Heading home” discharge bundle and evaluate its effectiveness across the MRI and RMCH. We will work with the Informatics and Performance teams to monitor the 2017/18 capacity plan for MRI and RMCH on a quarterly basis and develop the 2018/19 capacity plan linking with Single Hospital Services. Lead Executive Director:- Chief Operating Officer

OUR 2017/18 COMMITMENTS, WE WILL:-

Supporting 7 Day Services NHS England set the intention that by November 2017 four clinical standards describing the minimum level of service that hospital patients admitted through urgent and emergency routes should expect to receive on every day of the week. After discussions with the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges NHS England prioritised the following four standards as having the most impact on reducing risk of weekend mortality. These are: time to Consultant review, access to diagnostics, access to Consultant-directed interventions, on-going review. Led by the Medical Directors Office, extensive clinical engagement followed by a gap analysis was undertaken by each Division in 2016/17. We will work with the Medical Directors Office and Lead Divisional Director to understand priority areas across the Trust and agree where, if any, transformation resource is required to assist in delivery. Lead Executive Director:- Medical Director

OUR 2017/18 COMMITMENTS, WE WILL:-

Work with Divisional Directors and the Medical Directors Office on providing transformational resource for changes agreed as priority areas

Focus on delivering against the best practice guidance which is aligned to existing programmes of work on SAFER and handover

Integrated care

People benefit from care that is person-centred and co-ordinated within healthcare settings, across mental and physical health and across health and social care. For care to be integrated, organisations and care professionals need to bring together all of the different elements of care that a person needs. This is taking place in the City of Manchester using the Local Care Organisation as a vehicle during 2017/18. As part of Single Hospital Services, clinical teams are working together to ensure pathways of care are integrated and delivered in the most appropriate setting. This process provides staff with the opportunity to build relationships with colleagues who provide parallel forms of care and be ambitious in planning person centred care and support, and jointly allocating resources. It is important that we work with partners and across providers to promote, enable and encourage integrated care and support in order to deliver better quality care for patients.
