Surgeon-level outcomes Where next? Ben Bridgewater HQIP Director of Outcomes Publication Rebecca Cosgriff HQIP Outcomes Publication Project Manager
Outline • Background • Looking ahead • Group discussion
Background • In December 2012 NHS England asked HQIP to manage the publication of procedure numbers and survival rates from ten national clinical audits by summer 2013 • Time from Outcomes Publication team appointment to publication = 3 months!
Background The ten specialties
Publishing consultant data: Aims • Improve the quality of care • Help patients make informed decisions • Improve monitoring and governance • Reassure that the standard of clinical practice is being actively monitored • Provide evidence for Revalidation
Case study • Hawthorne Works electric factory wanted to know if workers performed better with higher or lower levels of light • What do you think happened when the factory lights were turned up? • What do you think happened when the factory lights were turned down?
Case study The act of measuring results independently triggered an increase in productivity (The Hawthorne Effect)
Challenges • Timescales • Professional buy-in (consultant vs. team) • Dataset issues (e.g. No GMC code) • Validation • Risk adjustment • Presentation format • Communications • Multiple stakeholders
Consent • Legal advice = Best practice to seek consent • ~3,500 consultants in total • High response/consent rate brings public interest clause into effect • Outcome • 82% response rate with >99% of respondents consenting • 21 non consenting names and rationale published on NHS Choices
Publishing consultant-level data • All ten audits have now published • Hub page: www.nhs.uk/consultantdata • 21 non consenters; none ‘outliers’ • <10 outliers in total • Reassurance that standard of care is high
Where next? • Nationally • Minimum requirements for reporting • More outcomes measures, regional searches, patient input etc. • More audits • Integrated reporting via NHS Choices • Longer data collection/validation timeframes • Consent unlikely to be a requirement
Where next? • Local requirements • Use of data for revalidation • Resources/time for data entry and validation • Participation in all Offer 2 audits • Dialogue with HQIP
Discussion • Number 2’s: Move tables! • On your tables • Introduce yourselves • Discuss for 15 minutes: • Have you used the consultant-level analysis locally? If yes, how? If no, why not? • Appoint a spokesperson and a secretary to feed back your best answer for each point
