From a World Class Person- Don Berwick July 1st, 2008 Put the patient at the absolute centre of your system of care - In its most authentic form, this rule feels very risky… It means the active presence of patients, families and communities in the design, management and assessment and improvement of care. It means total transparency. It means that patients have their own medical records and that restricted visiting hours are eliminated. It means ‘nothing about me without me’.
There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come. Victor Hugo

What are we trying to accomplish? How will we know that a change is an improvement? What changes can we make that will result in improvement? Outline of this Talk’s Direction of Travel
One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire Cat in a tree. “Which road do I take?” she asked. “Where do you want to go?” was his response. “I don’t know” she answered. “Then” said the Cat “it doesn’t matter.” Lewis Carroll ‘Alice in Wonderland’ 1865
What are we trying to accomplish? The health care professional does a job, and for many people this job is pretty mundane. They’re doing the same kind of thing to the same kind of people pretty well every day. So for them that activity becomes completely routine. And some days rather dull. For the individual patient it’s anything but that. Every individual that comes through a hospital is apprehensive. It’s a strange place, you lie in a strange bed, you have strange sheets, you have odd tea in a plastic cup. The whole thing is vibrantly different. Dr Kieran Sweeney, 2009
What are we trying to accomplish? Every patient counts

Value in Health Care- Porter M and Lee T: 2010,NEJM Dec 23 • How is value defined in health care? • What is important to our customers, the patients? • OUTCOMES, results, consequences, effects, conclusions etc of Health Care
Value = Health Outcomes £ Spent
What are we trying to accomplish? • Delivering health care which adds VALUE through considering what patients need and want • Be accountable for the total care of the medical condition • Develop pride in what we do in health care- working with a sense of achievement and accomplishment
Warning The next question is the really crucial one!
How will we know that a change is an improvement? • Focus on outcomes, as well as process • Meaningful data – a department is too narrow, a whole hospital too broad • Real team work as we cross the silos of medicine’s organisational structure • “If you don’t measure it, you can’t manage it”

And so to summarise…. • Patient experience is a complex outcome to focus improvement in • Measurement- strategy to cover the breadth & depth of experience relevant to the pathway • Co-ordinated programme to shift overall experience, not random acts of goodness
Speech to the Young. Speech to the Progress-Toward. Say to them, say to the down-keepers, the sun-slappers, the self-soilers, the harmony hushers, “Even if you are not ready for day it cannot always be night.” You will be right For that is the hard home-run. And remember: Live not for Battles won. Live not for The-End-of-the-Song. Live in the along. Gwendolyn Brooks
