The guidance and purpose • To endorse the recommendation made by a smaller group of CoGs re indicator selection for external audit Background: • The Quality Account forms one half of CNWL’s Annual Report • Data feeds must be accurate and robust; have business rules and stand up to data quality testing • Quality Account is externally audited by KPMG (including our consultation process, sign-off • Monitor have determined two indicators nationally for external audit/assurance and a third is to be selected by our Council of Governors
Indicators for Quality Account audit • 2 x National indicators • CPA 7-day follow up • CRT Gate-keeping • 1 x locally selected indicator – ‘what can we choose from?’ - must be auditable back to source information for verification/validating - patient survey indicators therefore n/a - where possible include the whole trust • Suggestions: • “Inpatients receive a nursing physical health assessment after admission” • “Readmission rates”
Indicator selection • All Council of Governors were invited to attend a mini meeting (following the main Quality Account Priority stakeholder event) on 6 March 2014 – to discuss and select the 3rd indicators to recommend to the Council of Governors for final endorsement/sign-off • For information, in attendance: • LinaChristopoulou, Service User Governor • Sam Whiteside, Public Governor • Irene Leeman, Public Governor, Harrow • Peter Bradley, Public Governor, MK • Molly Bandah, Carer Governors, Brent • Carina Sheridan, Staff Governor • Ann Sheridan, Staff Governor • Ela Pathak-Sen, Chair (Associate Director for Quality & Service Improvement • Matt Malherbe, Quality Assurance Manager
