Modular Structure: Module Box Set
© Copyright NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement 2009 Basic principles The Productives concentrate on the HOW, not the WHAT The vast majority of all healthcare guidance concentrates on end standards (i.e. the WHAT) Our staff need help with HOW to implement these standards, so they happen 24/7 – even on a Sunday night!

38 An example: NHS Yorkshire and Humberside
© Copyright NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement 2009 Examples of reach and impact in the NHS in Y&H are as follows: All 36 NHS healthcare provider organisations in Yorkshire and Humber are implementing one or more of the Productive programmes In four hospital systems, over 97% roll out of the Productive Ward or Productive Mental Health Ward to their front line team/wards (Sheffield, Hull & Airedale, RDASH - MH), Another hospital system has achieved over 75% roll out (Leeds). Two organisations have adapted Productive Ward for their Community Health teams- Kirklees 44 teams and Doncaster two teams Every provider organisation in Yorkshire and the Humber can provide examples of how the Productive methodology has resulted in improvements in the quality and productivity of care.

© Copyright NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement 2009 Successes –Direct care time increased by 32% (4.5 hours per nurse per shift) –Time spent walking / looking for equipment has reduced from 130 minutes (over 2 hours) to 25 minutes –Time spent on nursing documentation has reduced from 127 minutes to 82 minutes

The Productives Module Impact Framework helps answer the following questions:
© Copyright NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement 2009 The Productives Module Impact Framework: (i)can help you analyse qualitative and quantitative impact data (inc financial) (ii)can aggregate impact data across an organisation and across all Productive programmes (iii)can create impact reports at organisational and regional level at the touch of a button
© Copyright NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement 2009 Impact Areas 1: Staff experience and wellbeing 2: Process improvements 4: Financial impacts 3: Knowledge and skills

Learning from the Productives so far… Energy can be unleashed by encouraging front-line teams to question how they work and by providing simple tools and skills to help them do this It is possible to achieve virtually universal take up Excitement can be created and then steered, rather than forcefully “over-designing” a programme Modules are leadership methods rather than improvement tools
