June 2016
As always, it’s been a busy
month at the CCG!
Our new placement students
will be starting next week so Amy and I have been preparing induction packs and
schedules. I can’t believe I only have one month of my placement left, I will
be very sad to leave the CCG!
In addition to this, I have
been assisting my manager Andrew in writing the CCG’s Quality Strategy. I have
been responsible to create the action plans for the year, outlining the
national and local context for the strategy and the national and local quality
drivers, amongst other things. I’ve really enjoyed contributing to the strategy
and learning about what a CCG’s quality strategy is comprised of.
I have also completed my
three day AQuA Quality Improvement course. I learnt a lot over the three days,
some of which I have previously learnt about at university so it was great to
refresh myself. The tools/topics I found particularly useful are stakeholder
mapping and engagement, resilience, sustainability, PSDA Cycles, change models,
measurement run charts, SPC charts, pareto charts, mood mapping amongst many others.
I’m also working on various Care
Home projects. Along with Charles, our
Communications and Engagement manager, I’m creating a Care Home newsletter to
go out bi-monthly to our 60 care homes in Eastern Cheshire. I have been
responsible to design the hard copy to post out.
I also designed some logos for
a care home quality collaborative that our care home quality lead has organised
which has been fun to do, as my degree is in business and marketing I enjoy
being creative!
Alongside this, I have been
exploring a virtual tours idea in our care homes. “The Hub” has recently launched
in Macclesfield District General Hospital as a direct result of the reducing
delayed transfers of care Process Mapping event I attended at the end of last
year. The Hub aims to further facilitate patients who are ready to be
discharged to a care home and their relatives and carers. It is crucial that
they are very well-informed of the care homes available at short notice, so we are working on
improving the provision of information and guidance about the local care homes. I am exploring the idea of a virtual
tour website or a single point of access for all the care homes in Eastern Cheshire.
Also this month, I have been
reviewing providers’ quarter 4 CQUIN evidence. It has been really interesting
to view the achievement of milestones over the year and the subsequent progress that has been made across many specialties.
