Principles, elements and benefits of Enhanced Recovery

What is it?  Enhanced Recovery is a new way of improving the experience and well-being of patients who need major surgery  It helps people to recover sooner so that life can return to normal as quickly as possible  It gives people a better overall experience due to higher quality care and services  It lets people choose what’s best for them throughout the course of their treatment with help from their GP and the wider healthcare team (“No decision about me without me.”)  Many people who have experienced Enhanced Recovery say that it makes a hospital stay much less stressful Your Better Sooner!!!

The Principles of ER  Getting the patient in to the best possible condition for surgery  Ensuring the patient has the best possible management during their operation  Ensuring the patient has the best post- operative rehabilitation

Kehlets theory – 1980s

Care Pathway Project Plan

Short-term investment  Support to change the pathway (e.g. service improvement, change manager, facilitator etc)  Training – new skills e.g. pre-assessment  Equipment – invest to save  Communication/awareness Find out what is already in place & going on Make the connections

What investment may be required? Finance is not the only investment

Understanding and improving systems and processes Patient Pathway

Undertake mapping and tracking

Understanding your current service - Exercise  On the map provided: Understanding your current service - Exercise  Mark the interventions you already have in place  You should also consider when, where and how they are provided and whether there is further opportunity for improvement  Identify the interventions you need to establish and start to consider the sequence for implementation

Stakeholder Analysis Janine Roberts

Identifying the team Implementation requires a number of factors:  Changing clinical interventions  Changing care systems and processes  Creating a team to work across the patient pathway  Both require technical and behavioural change management  Lets start with thinking about who to engage and how to structure the project team

Essential Roles Sponsors: authority to sanction change (organisational alignment / benefit) Change Agents: facilitate change, require knowledge, skills and credibility Champions: respected opinion leaders who positively promote work Leaders: lead by example

Satisfy Opinion formers Keep satisfied Review regularly Manage Key Stakeholders need to be fully engaged through full communication & consultation Inform / Monitor Not crucial to the process but useful to keep informed Involve Voices that need to be heard Need to be proactive High Influence Little / No Influence Little / No Interest High interest Stakeholder Analysis

Stakeholder Engagement  Full guide to stakeholder analysis and management: NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement  ‘The Handbook of Quality and Service improvement Tools’  Section 3 Stakeholder and User Involvement

Activity  On the sheets you have record your stakeholders for your chosen pathway(s)  Then, if you have time - in relation to each pathway record the key actions needed to ensure effective stakeholder engagement for that workstream  Some areas will be specific to a pathway  some areas may cross all pathways  Some areas may involve the same group of stakeholders but different individuals

Action planning and potential challenges Sophia Mavrommatis

Action Planning Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in’ -Andrew Jackson quoting Napoleon Bonapart

Agreement amongst the key players Certainty that the change will work Just do it JDI high low high Test on a very small scale Managing Improvement

Just Do it!  Little risk  Minimal cost  Broad agreement  Easy to do

Testing Changes for Improvement Sophia Mavrommatis

Enhanced Recovery Action Plan ActionOwnerResources306090

Action Planning & Challenges  On your table provided start to fill in from the earlier work today which actions need to be completed  Who can deliver these actions  What is the timescale – 30, 60 or 90 days  Resourse – flag up what support you may need here to deliver the action – eg connection into the local PCT, facilitator to deliver a workshop Include in this the top three challenges that you think you will encounter and the actions you will put in place to work through these challenges.
