How to Use the Prompts

The Context

Primary care teams/strategy Acute hospital networks New interim HSE directorates Major chronic disease challenge Major financial challenge National standards Government policy on UHI Continuing focus on ED and OPD waits

Quality in Irish General Practice CME network Quality vocational training – big HSE

investment Structured diabetes care programme ICGP Quality in Practice initiatives Out of hours cover – integrating practices Same day access, cervical screening and

immunisations ICT penetration – disease registers Peer practice visits Leadership – ICGP and academia

Q+PS challenges in general practice

Lack of information, benchmarking Variability Isolated GPs Lack of use of guidelines and risk assessment

tools Out of Hours cover and patient info Transitions of care Medication reconciliation and prescribing errors Minority group and disability access Lack of critical incident/near-miss review

Future options to improve quality• Involve local community/patients• Real PCT development, involve pharmacy• PCT network to engage with hospital trusts – clinical

leadership• Work together to manage standards burden• Audit shared across multiple practices – benchmark

and share learning• Measuring performance – prescribing data:

preventative inhalers, statin dosage, PPI duration, benzos and antibiotic use – CUT COSTS

• Collaborative prescribing – community pharmacy partnership

• ICT supported decision prompts, guidelines and risk tools

Irish general practice demonstrates high quality

Central role of ICGP and clinical leaders in general practice

Lack of information on clinical care process

Lack of accountability for state funding Variation and outliers inevitable We need to work together to improve

quality through training, evidence use and acceptable performance measurement

Where do we start?

Governance and Leadership Who is accountable and responsible To whom for what? Who is the team is it really a MDT? This is not just about Standards but

a change of behaviour!

Changes

Changes come from small initiatives which work, initiatives when initiated become fashion. We cannot wait for the great visions from great people, we must light our own small fires in the darkness.
