EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. The purpose of this report is to provide the Board with an overview of clinical quality and safety. The metrics should be considered in the context
of the overall performance of the Trust and in particular to determine if there are any changes in quality that might be due to the Productivity Programme. To date there is no evidence that quality is being adversely affected by the Productivity Programme.
2. Quality and Safety performance overall remains good. Achievements 3. HSMR (82)) for the Trust remains low. 4. The incidence of falls and pressure ulcers remain low. 5. Length of stay throughout the Trust is good. 1. VTE risk assessments are now being undertaken above the required rate 5. All Serious Incident investigation reports have been submitted within expected date 6. There are no new Grade 2 SIs 7. The Trust is compliant with single sex accommodation requirements,
Concerns Actions • There have been two cases of C.difficile and this takes the Trust
very close to our year end target. • The importance of infection control measures are being
reinforced throughout the Trust and in particular through Frontline Focus Fridays.
• Achieving a caesarean section within our SLA contract rate (26%) remains challenging
• The maternity unit have initiated several actions to reduce the section rate further and the rate in primiparas has shown some improvement
• The results of the Picker Outpatients Survey 2011 demonstrate that patient experience in Outpatients is worse than in the 2009 survey.
• The data is being analysed and an action plan is in development. It will be approved at the Patient Experience Committee in March.
Recommendations & Action required by the Trust Board 8. Note current performance actions proposed to improve and confirm agreement with them. . .

SECTION 1: OUTCOMES/EFFECTIVENESS AND PATIENT SAFETY
COMMENTARY Hospital Standardised Mortality Ratio (HSMR) DFI 1. The trend data and Trust position nationally show good
performance with the HSMR at 82 year to date. ForOct 2010 – Nov 2011 this represents 185 less deathsthan expected (747 vs 932)
SHMI 2. SHMI is now published for all Trusts by NHS Choices
and is reported quarterly, the latest value (Jan 2012) is85 (much better than expected.) There is no trend datayet available.
Mortality Alerts (DFI) 3. There are no new mortality alerts this month. Patient Safety Indicators (PSI) 4. As reported to the Board previously there are 3 Patient
Safety Indictors for which there is a higher reportedincidence than expected. These are for perinealtrauma with both normal and operative vaginal birthsand for accidental puncture and laceration. Full detailsrelating to these alerts have been reported to the Boardpreviously (January 2012). As the alerts are influencedby external data it is likely that they will remain.

COMMENTARY Falls Quality Account Priority 1: 5. The incidence of falls remains low at 3.4/100 beds days
(NPSA benchmark 4.8/100 bed days). Continuingactions to maintain this level are monitoring of the fallsKPI on the ward score cards and as a topic for frontlineFocus Fridays. An audit of completed fallsassessments in December showed an improvement ofcorrect assessment being completed from 72% into89%
Venous Thrombo-embolism (VTE) Quality Account Priority 3: 6. The reported rate of completion of VTE risk
assessments is currently 92.8%. This is above the nationally required rate of 90%. Providing this rate continues we will achieve the Q4 CQUIN target.
Length of Stay (LoS) 7. Trust wide LoS remains below expected by DFI
benchmark. There was a slight increase in LoS for January 2012 in Emergency Surgery.

COMMENTARY Pressure Ulcers Quality Account Priority 2:
8. The incidence of pressure ulcers remains lower than last year.The frequency of occurrence of grade 2 pressure ulcers isunchanged for the past 3 months. There were no grade 3 or 4pressure ulcers in January 2012. Root cause analysis of thegrade 3s December has been completed and an action planapproved at the Executive Management Committee. Thisincludes specific individual performance actions, the introductionof an enhanced training programme with a particular focus oninitial assessments in the Emergency Department and checkingof the assessment by senior staff on the admission ward.
Infection Control
9. There were no MRSA bacteraemias in January 2012. The yearto date incidence is 2 hospital acquired MRSA bacteriaemias(year end target is no more than 3). The Trust will be expected tohave no more than 1 MRSA for 2012/13.
10. Two cases of C.difficile occurred in January 2012. This takes thetotal for the year to 16. The target for the year is 17 and there isa risk that this will be breached. It will be very challenging for theTrust to meet next year’s more stringent target of 15 cases.
11. In December 2011 there was a new case of the outbreak strain

SECTION 2: PATIENT EXPERIENCE
Mixed Sex Accommodation 1. There have been no breaches of mixed sex
accommodation or complaints relating to mixed sexaccommodation relating to this period.
Patient Experience Tracker (PET) 2. As previously reported to the Trust Board, PETs are
used throughout the hospital to gain real time feedbackfrom patients about their experience.
3. Performance has remained similar over the period.
Work is required to improve the patient’s perception ofnurses involving them in discussions about their care.Frontline Focus is a mechanism for this.
Outpatient Experience 4. The results of the Picker outpatient survey 2011 has
been received by the Trust. The survey suggests thatpatient experience in outpatients is worse that it was inthe previous survey in 2009. A Trust Board walkaboutto oupatients was held on January 26th 2012. Theresults of the survey are currently being analysed. Anaction plan addressing the concerns raised in thesurvey and walkabout is being developed and will beapproved at the Patient Experinece Committee inMarch 2012.

SECTION 5: JANUARY 2012 DETAILED KPIS
Kingston Hospital NHS Trust - Trust Board – Part I - February 2012 16
APPENDIX A: CARE QUALITY COMMISSION ESSENTIAL STANDARDS OF QUALITY AND SAFETY (DECEMBER 2012) 1. There are 16 core outcomes for which Kingston Hospital Trust is scored by the CQC. Each Outcome has an Executive Director Lead who
undertakes a self assessment of compliance with the standards described in the outcome. The assessments are validated by a challenge process.
2. The CQC visited the Trust on 16th and 17th November 2011 to review compliance with the 16 Essential Standards of Quality and Safety.
The draft report has been received and is being checked for factual accuracy. On receipt of the final report from the CQC the Trust Board will receive a more detailed report.
3. The CQC give the Trust a compliance score based largely on external evidence derived from a number of sources. These scores form a Quality and Risk Profile. The QRP is used by the CQC as a broad indicator and useful comparator tool, it should be considered in this context. It does, however, help us identify and focus on areas where there may be concerns. The most recent QRP (December 2011) showed changes in 4 outcomes as shown below.
December Quality and Risk Profile (QRP) 4. The table below shows the changes in regard to the CQC compliance score trend from October 2011to December 2011. When Comparing
the November 2011 QRP with the December 2011 QRP; three outcomes have an increasing risk score, one has a decreasing risk score and nine outcomes are unchanged.
5. The Trust’s lowest score is Low amber for 1 out of the 16 Outcomes (Outcome 12 ‘Staffing’), whilst the highest score is Low Green (the best score within the CQC ratings) for 1 Outcome (Outcome 21 ‘Records’).
6. The table shows the QRP ratings for all the Essential Standards; those highlighted indicate where there has been a change from the
November 2011 QRP.

Elements which are rated “worse” and “much worse than expected”
Actions:
• The last results of the adult inpatient and outpatient national survey results.
• Number of patients not treated within 28 days of last minute cancellation
• The emergency readmission ratio for 2 specific Healthcare
Resource Groups (HRG). • VTE is currently rated red as we are working to achieve the DH
target of 90%. • Elements of the most recent staff survey.
• Some workforce areas which are derived from a 2010 vacancy
survey looking at three month vacancies. • Participation in Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) is
low. • Response to the Bliss Baby Report survey of neonatal units – Data
for Kingston Hospital. • Data quality of data provided to Secondary User service (SUS).
• The Patient Experience action plan and the RTT action plan are addressing these.
• Reviewed weekly, no apparent trends. Capacity issues being addressed in all specialties so that patients can be rebooked very quickly.
• Reducing readmission rates is a Quality Account priority and the focus of the Contract Monitoring group and a specific readmissions group has been set up.
• VTE is currently rated red as we are working to achieve the DH target of 90%.
• Addressed by the Staff Survey Action plan and the Patient Experience Action plan.
• Since this time we have taken steps to address these which are covered more fully in the workforce report.
• Low participation is being investigated.
• The Trust choose not participate in this survey. We are discussing with the CQC whether non participation warrants a ‘worse than expected’ score.
• Investigating causes of score as KHT has good reputation for data quality.
