safety.
Measurement for Improvement - 8th October 2pm
Facilitated by: Kurt Bramfitt – Senior Improvement Advisor, Haelo
Nick John – Data Co-ordinator, Haelo
In this session we will explore how we can use data to measure improvement. We will learn
about the different types of measures that are needed to understand the effects on a
system when changes are made and we will discuss how best to visually display your data,
exploring different types of charts used to measure improvement and understand variation.
This introductory session to measurement for improvement is aimed anyone that would like
to learn more about how to use data to understand the impact of their improvement work.
Summary
Do you want to know more about how to use data to measure improvement? Do you find it
difficult to evidence improvements you have made? Join this session and explore how to
best use data to understand and measure the impact of your improvement work.
Triangulating your data for a rich picture of safety – 5th November 2pm
Facilitated by: Abigail Harrison – Associate Director of Measurement, Haelo
Kate Cheema – Specialist Information Analyst – Quality Observatory
In this session we will explore the different kinds of data sources available in healthcare and
learn how these can be used together to build a rich picture of safety in our health care
systems. We will discuss the limitations and strengths of different data sources, build an
understanding of how to triangulate different data sources and identify where gaps may
exist. This session is aimed at anyone who works with data in healthcare and who is trying to
make sense of different measures together.
Summary
Are you or your organisation trying to make sense of different data sources for safety? We
often talk about triangulating data but in practice this isn’t easy to do. Join this webex to
learn more about how best to use different data sources together to get a rich picture of
safety.
Developing a Measurement Strategy - 25th November 2pm
Facilitated by: Abigail Harrison – Associate Director of Measurement , Haelo
Kurt Bramfitt – Senior Improvement Advisor, Haelo
In this session you will learn about how to develop a measurement strategy and the vital
role this will play in your improvement work. You will build a clear understanding of how to
define measures within your improvement projects, link them directly back to you projects
aim and key drivers and use this strategy to measure change over time. We will explore the
different kinds of measures you should include in your measurement strategy and how to
use these as a fundamental part of your improvement project. This session is aimed at those
who are designing and leading improvement initiatives.
Summary
Getting measurement right isn’t easy and improvement projects are often thwarted by a
lack of the right data to measure system changes. Join this webex to learn more about how
to develop and use a measurement strategy for your improvement project.
The NHS Safety Thermometers – national tools for improvement
Facilitated by: Kurt Bramfitt – Senior Improvement Advisor, Haelo
Kate Cheema – Specialist Information Analyst – Quality Observatory
In this session you will be provided with a background and overview to the suite of NHS
Safety Thermometers and how these measurement tools for improvement have been
used nationally to measure harm across the NHS. We will explore the application of
these tool and how organisations can begin using them to measure harm. We will
review some of the data that has already been collected and learn how it can be used in
triangulation with other data sources to set improvement goals locally. This session is
open to anyone wishing to learning more about the NHS Safety Thermometers and will
provide a good insight into the measurement of harm.
Key learning point:
-
What is a Safety Thermometer?
What tools are available and what harms do they measure?
How can organisations use their Safety Thermometer data for improvement?
Improving Measuring and Monitoring of Safety
Facilitated by: Abigail Harrison – Associate Director of Measurement, Haelo
Charles Vincent - Professor of Clinical Safety Research, Imperial
College London
In this session we will discuss the significance of truly understanding how safe your
organisations is and hear from Charles Vincent himself on how his frame work can help
organisations develop a safety surveillance system to measure and monitor harm. We will
explore opportunities to learn from safety, not just from the past event but also from the
present and looking into future. This session is aimed at system leaders and anyone who is
interest to learn more about the measuring and monitoring of safety framework.
Key learning points:
-
An introduction to the framework
How do we measure and monitor safety in our organisations and health economy?
Understanding safety in past , present and future
How can this framework help you significantly improve safety surveillance
Measurement for Boards
Facilitated by: Abigail Harrison – Associate Director of Measurement, Haelo
Maxine Power - Director of Innovation and Improvement Science,
Haelo, Salford Royal
In this session we will learn how boards typically use measurement to understand
performance and safety and discuss the cultural barriers between measurement for
performance and measurement for improvement. This session will highlight Charles
Vincent’s measuring and monitoring of safety framework and explore how boards can use
this framework to become more focused on inquiry rather than assurance. This session is
intended to develop awareness and new learning for board members and senior leaders.
Key learning points:
-
Changing the culture of measurement within boards
Moving from assurance to inquiry
Using the measuring and monitoring of safety framework
