2. Aim Statement The Supporting Life After Stroke collaborative aims to provide a new community-based, specialist rehabilitation service for people with stroke in their own homes rather than in hospital. This will enhance patient experience, speed recovery and improve quality of life for our patients. By 1st July 2014 we will: • reduce the average length of stay for patients with mild to moderate stroke transitioning home to Manukau, Papakura, Manurewa , Takanini and Mangere by 4 days • improve patient functional outcomes (different measures are being tested) • attain a patients satisfaction response of more than 90%

5. Changes we have tested….

6. PDSA Fun! Plan • Staying focussed on your objective and/or change idea – side tracked • Working with someone else – asking what are we doing? • Fill out the paperwork properly so predictions mean something! Do • Collect all relevant data – capture thoughts to one side Study • Great when your predictions are wrong - learn more  • Being careful not to generalise before you have tested with others Act • Used structured reporting back– enlisting others wisdom

7. PDSA Fun! Reflections • Everyone giving it a go • Working together, drawing on the diversity of the group and individual ownership • Clearly documenting is vital – so you know what you mean later • Initially so foreign; process of documenting – PDSA flow – makes sense • Just give it a go – no PDSA is perfect, don’t get hung up • ……“all becomes more obvious afterwards “ • Chance to be able to try different options – don’t have to adopt it!

8. PDSA 4.2 • Objective – Obtain essential discipline specific information for new clients to the ESD team. • PLAN • Change Idea – • Complete face to face handover meeting with ESD team and the ward clinicians. • Questions – • How many of the clinicians involved in the patients care were able to attend the meeting? (% of total) • How long does the meeting take? • How time consuming is it to arrange the meeting? • How is the information recorded, by whom and where is it kept? • What % of clinicians prefer a face to face handover (rather than a written referral)?

9. PDSA 4.2 • Predictions – • 100% of clinicians involved in patient care will attend the meeting. • The meeting will take approximately 15 minutes. • The handover meeting will be easy to arrange (take < 15 min). • Information to be recorded by the ESD team. • 100% of clinicians will prefer face to face handover option. • Do • Meeting was lacking structure, discussion jumped around. • Amanda jotted down notes but there was no consistent way to capture the meeting outcomes. • An excessive amount of time was spent trying to arrange the handover meeting. • Additional information was received from talking directly.

10. PDSA 4.2 • Study • 100% of clinicians involved in patient care attended the meeting. • Meeting took 15 minutes which was expected. • It took 1 hour over a 12 hour work period to arrange the handover meeting. This was due to number of people that needed to attend and differing schedules between in patient and community services. • Information was recorded by the ESD team member but there was no formal way to document. • All 8 of the clinicians who attended the meeting found the face to face handover helpful (and preferable) but commented on the challenges of all meeting at the same time.

11. PDSA 4.2 • Act • Adapt .1 • Trial use of template to record information. • Trial one to one discipline specific handovers. • Adapt .2 (current) • Modify template and continue to use. • Trial fixed weekly handover meeting. • Use one to one discipline specific handovers in addition when notable change in patient has been observed post handover meeting. • Reflection • Through a ramp of PDSA’s, a change idea can evolve that will achieve the objective of the original PDSA. • What seemed simple at the beginning is where difficulties arose and the most learning was gained. • Sharing the PDSA has been valuable as others contribute ideas and learning's. • Questions needed to be specific
