The productive ward: releasing time to care - learning and impact review
No full textThe Productive Ward: Releasing time to care™ programme aims to empower ward teams to identify areas for improvement by giving staff the information, skills and time they need to regain control of their ward and the care they provide.The NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement commissioned Kings College London to undertake a review of the Productive Ward programme. This review (undertaken February-June 2009) set out to establish the overall learning from and impact of The Productive Ward programme since its conception in 2005, and to suggest how this can be spread and sustained.The review applies an evidence-based Diffusion of Innovation framework to The Productive Ward programme to examine multi-level perspectives (national, regional, local) of learning and impact. The findings are informed by in-depth interviews with national and regional stakeholders, a national online-survey of frontline staff, and case studies of implementation within five NHS acute Trusts.Overall, this review finds The Productive Ward programme has been successfully framed and communicated in a way that connects with frontline NHS staffs’ need and will for change, and that it thrives where local leadership and ownership are strong. The review suggests 15 ‘top tips’, which comprise of key lessons from the programme to date that will assist trusts in local implementation in the future

Problematic technology use during adolescence: why don’t teenagers seek treatment?
No full textIn recent issues of Education and Health, I have briefly reviewed the empirical evidence relating to problematic use of technology by adolescents including online video gaming (Griffiths, 2014), social networking (Griffiths, 2013a; Kuss & Griffiths, 2011), and mobile phone use (Griffiths, 2013b). Most of the research studies that have examined ‘technological addictions’ during adolescence have indicated that a small but significant minority experience severe problems resulting in detriments to education, physical fitness, psychological wellbeing, and family and personal relationships (Griffiths, 2010; Kuss, Griffiths, Karila & Billieux, 2014). Given these findings, why is it that so few teenagers seek treatment? This article briefly outlines a number of reasons why this might be the case by examining other literature on adolescent drug use and adolescent gambling (e.g., Chevalier & Griffiths, 2005; 2005; Griffiths, 2001). Three different types of explanation are discussed: (i) treatment-specific explanations, (ii) research-related explanations, and (iii) developmental and peer group explanations

An assessment of failure to rescue derived from routine NHS data as a nursing sensitive patient safety indicator (report to Policy Research Programme)
No full textObjectives: This study aims to assess the potential for deriving 2 mortality based failure to rescue indicators and a proxy measure, based on exceptionally long length of stay, from English hospital administrative data by exploring change in coding practice over time and measuring associations between failure to rescue and factors which would suggest indicators derived from these data are valid.Design: Cross sectional observational study of routinely collected administrative data.Setting: 146 general acute hospital trusts in England.Participants: Discharge data from 66,100,672 surgical admissions (1997 to 2009).Results: Median percentage of surgical admissions with at least one secondary diagnosis recorded increased from 26% in 1997/8 to 40% in 2008/9. The failure to rescue rate for a hospital appears to be relatively stable over time: inter-year correlations between 2007/8 and 2008/9 were r=0.92 to r=0.94. No failure to rescue indicator was significantly correlated with average number of secondary diagnoses coded per hospital. Regression analyses showed that failure to rescue was significantly associated (p<0.05) with several hospital characteristics previously associated with quality including staffing levels. Higher medical staffing (doctors + nurses) per bed and more doctors relative to the number of nurses were associated with lower failure to rescue. Conclusion: Coding practice has improved, and failure to rescue can be derived from English administrative data. The suggestion that it is particularly sensitive to nursing is not clearly supported. Although the patient population is more homogenous than for other mortality measures, risk adjustment is still required
