Executive Summary Overall the Safety, Quality and Patient Experience domain performance remains very good. • The Trust maintains its good performance in terms of preventing patients developing pressure ulcers and ends the year having reported zero inpatient avoidable grade 3 or 4 pressure ulcers. Community Services report an end year position of sixteen, grade 3 or 4 pressure ulcers (YTD), a reduction of 22 on last year’s performance. • Twenty Two patients have experienced falls with severe harm at the end of the year and while this is 4 less than last year, further work is being progressed in the form of a local falls summit to review the root causes and themes of these incidents and to identify further actions to reduce the number of falls further. • For March 2016, the Inpatient Essential Care Indicators (ECIs) achieved the 95% target and Community ECIs have been maintained at 96%. • For customer experience, the percentage of patients noting that they had a very good or excellent experience of the Trust remains over 85%. The workforce and efficiency domain remains a challenge in a number of areas. • Staff appraisal rates have improved slightly whilst remaining in the amber range. All areas continue to have individual reporting and targeting of staff appraisals. • Sickness Absence remains a challenge and we are currently breaching the annual target by 1. 4%. • Vacancies have improved slightly but we end the year at 11. 9% against a 9% target. Staff consultations are taking place and will result in some at risk staff moving into vacant posts. • Overall temporary staff spending has deteriorated and remains above target at 14. 22%. NHS Improvement will pay particular attention to agency spend in 16/17 and the Trust will be challenged to achieve significant reductions on spend in this area. • DTOC has improved slightly to 11. 98% and remains a focus of activity and partnership working with Social Care colleagues.

Executive Summary Financial Performance – A year end position in line with plan achieving a £ 3. 6 m surplus control total. The Trust achieved its year end target of £ 3. 6 m surplus. Within this position the Trust carried a limited number of variances to plan – • Income – A favourable variance of £ 0. 9 m –largely relating to final agreement of year end balances across our contracts improving a previously reported prudent forecast. • Expenditure – An offsetting adverse variance of £ 0. 9 m – vacancies in a number of areas, non payment of the Dental LPA costs originally planned to start in July, offset by CRES slippage. Cash at month end totalled £ 26. 5 m, which was above the plan of £ 24. 9 m. The variance largely relates to a small number of outstanding payments (creditors including capital creditors) as at 31 st March 2016. The Trust achieved the Public Sector Payment Policy (PSPP) target of 95% at the end of March. Our CRES programme ended the year a £ 2. 5 m adrift from the original target of £ 15. 2 m. This was primarily caused by schemes written off in October 2015 relating to our Care in Focus stretch target and various corporate programmes. Offsetting mitigations reduced overall plans by circa £ 0. 8 m. Further slippage of our inpatient work programme into 2016/17 worsened the shortfall by £ 1. 1 m. Additional pressure at year end has been caused by a small number of corporate programmes failing to achieve targets including car parking. Key risks emerging and remaining in 2016/17 include the following – • Recurrent surplus pressure – significant pressure on our surplus plan for the coming year has been caused by a rebasing of inpatient budgets to reflect current spend. Further slippage in this area will have a direct impact on achievement of our planned surplus. Our plan is predicated on some non-recurrent savings including a £ 1 m discretionary spend control. This is a key challenge for the Trust. • Our contracts remain largely Block arrangements. We remain clear with all commissioners that where this exists, volume pressure is a Commissioner issue, however we must at all times be well sighted on activity levels to ensure that we communicate emerging pressure to Commissioners in a timely manner. • City Council consultation plans remain a challenge for the Trust to deliver especially across Under 5 and Lifestyle services.

Quality Priorities 1. 2 Safe Staffing March 2016 The March 2016 Safe Staffing report shows data from the Safe Care module of the E-roster system for all adult bedded units alongside the fill rate of actual staffing versus planned establishment. The adjusted hours are calculated using the Safe Care module of E-roster and adjusting the nursing hours needed for each shift on the basis of nurses’ clinical judgement including factors such as: • number of patients becoming medically unwell • the number of patients who needed two staff to provide care such as toileting • the number of incidents of one to one supervision The Board should note that one to one supervision numbers are calculated as episodes where patients required additional supervision e. g. if three patients required one to one supervision on a shift, this is counted as three episodes. The Quality Governance and Risk Committee (QGRC) receives a detailed narrative from each ward on safe staffing, including triangulation with serious incidents and information on training and PDR compliance levels and daily staffing levels for each ward. Further work is progressing to maintain consistency of process when developing Ward Rotas, including the allocation of leave, sickness/absence management, training and bank and agency usage. The aim will be to develop this work further in the next 6 months Adult Bedded Units For Day shifts: The actual staffing versus planned establishment was within the 10% tolerance for all wards apart from Perry Trees and Anne Marie Howes where the fill rate was below the 10% threshold. This is an improvement from February’s report. In addition, Wards 6, 7 and 8 at Moseley Hall Hospital, C 27 and Anne Marie Howes showed day shift levels below that required for the dependency/acuity of patients as calculated using the Safer Nursing Care Tool. At Ward 6 there was a high level of patients requiring increased supervision and the ward staff cared for two patients who required 1: 1 supervision over the whole 24 hour period throughout the whole month. These patients were cohort nursed in 2 bays to maintain safety. For Night Shifts: The actual staffing versus planned establishment for night shifts exceeded the 10% tolerance for all wards apart from Ward 9 and Perry Trees unit. This reflects the lower staffing levels planned for units on night shifts and that small increases in staffing to meet patient needs results in higher percentage fill rates for these shifts. On Ward 6, an additional Health Care Assistant (HCA) was rostered, over and above that indicated by safecare in order to manage the challenging behaviour of one patient, this was a clinical judgement decision by the Clinical Team Leader which results in an apparent overfill of staff for this ward for nights. Bank and Agency staffing for day shifts continues to be at high levels for the majority of units utilising a high percentage of agency staff on day shifts. This reflects the increased nursing needs of patients on these wards as well as vacancy and sickness levels. Ward 9 also has high use of bank and agency. The report shows the number of patients requiring one to one supervision. This continues to be high, particularly on wards 6, 8, 9, 14 and Willows and is reflected in their actual staffing levels.

Quality Priorities 1. 2 Safe Staffing March 2016 The following Serious incidents were reported for adult bedded units in March: Adults & Communities Fall with fracture on Ward 7 – A full review of this incident is required to identify the root causes and any issues which may have been a causative factor. This review will incorporate an assessment of the ward staffing levels, skill mix and Bank/Substantive staff mix, as well as any environmental, care issues. The outcome of the RCA will be reported to QGRC and the family, should any issues be identified. Fall with Fracture on Ward 14 - Staffing levels were within the 10% tolerance compared with establishment and Safecare requirements on this day, and staffing is not indicated as a root cause. Fracture at Anne Marie Howes - This has been identified as a pathological fracture, not associated with a fall or other incident. Fall with fracture – ward 6. There was a delay in reporting this as a serious incident until March, as the patient showed no fracture on x-ray immediately after the fall, but a subsequent MRI scan showed a fractured pubic ramus which was attributed to the fall. The Root Cause analysis is underway and early indications suggest that staffing levels or skill mix were not a factor. The patient who fell did not require 1: 1 supervision. There have been no red flags reported for March and Essential Care indicators have improved compared with February. Learning Disabilities units Sayer House – no safety concerns have been highlighted by the unit manager and reduced staffing levels are appropriate for the lower than capacity occupancy rate in this facility. Elliot Lodge – is showing an overfill rate as there was additional nursing staff provided for one service user who receives a specialised package. This additional nursing support is funded but not part of the establishment. Kingswood Rd – There have been some cancellations of periods of respite in March, which has led to fewer staff being used for the day shifts. There have been a number of new service users to the service who have required additional support during their introduction phase to the unit, particularly for night shifts. An incident was raised on Datix at Kingswood on 10 th March as a bank staff member was unable to fill the shift at short notice. A substantive member of staff worked for an additional hour until bank cover could be arranged. Hobmoor Rd – Increased fill rate seen in March. Additional nursing staff have been utilised due to patient health needs and to ensure patient safety. Short breaks (Kingswood & Hobmoor) – both services show an apparent overfill rate, which has fluctuated depending on needs of patients who are receiving respite care. As a result the pilot of a bespoke LD safe staffing tool is commencing in a respite service to align safe staffing levels to patient dependency. 13 Quality and Performance Report – Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Trust – Report period March 2016
Quality Priorities 1. 3 Care Plans • In the last quarter of 2015/16 Adults and Communities (A&C) division have undertaken a 3 month project with regard to care planning. There will be a planned review in June of the assessment process and care plans as the new documentation has now been in place for 6 months. • The Essential care indicators (ECIs) at the end of March reflect an improvement in the standard of record keeping. • A focus on care planning will continue through the Quality Priorities programme 16/17 and the key deliverables have been agreed with A&C. This will be based on two parallel approaches, firstly the development of a clinical education and supervision programme on individualised patient assessment, care planning and evaluation of care to increase nurse skill and knowledge - this will be clinically based rather than require attendance at training. Secondly a transformation day at the end of April will provide an additional focus on admission documentation. Nursing and Therapies and Adults and Communities division will continue to work in partnership to improve care planning. • Learning Disability (LD) community teams have seen an improvement in the number of care plans recorded on RIO. There is a live dashboard in place which allows staff to have over sight. All patients within the bedded units have care plans in place. Monthly ECIs and weekly review is taking place by team leaders. The service has some dedicated administration to support data entry onto the Ri. O system. 1. 4 Clinical Outcomes • Gastroenterology Dietetics presented the results of their outcomes work for patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome to the Trust Clinical Effectiveness Committee. This included qualitative patient feedback on the improvement to their quality of life. Additional quantitative improvements were also noted. The report included an estimate of the savings made due to reduced medication. • Learning Disabilities services have received the first tranche of Ho. NOS (Health of the Nation Outcome Score) direct from Ri. O, with support from Informatics. • The Speech and Language service is waiting for the confirmation of national outcomes, which would allow benchmarking against other services in the future. • A number of services are presenting their outcome results as posters for the Trust Clinical Effectiveness Day in April. 1. 5 Patient Experience Priorities in relation to patient experience are as follows: • Record and report the new Friends and Family Test results. • Undertake at least one full patient story for each division each month and utilise patient stories to measure and improve services. • Present information on changes made as a result of patient feedback through 'you said, we did' boards in all relevant Trust premises and on the Trust website. This work is continuing. • Develop and Implement a Patient Experience Dashboard for staff to have access to data in a timely way. The dashboard is complete and has now been shared with clinical colleagues. Quality and Performance Report – Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Trust – Report period March 2016 14
Quality Priorities 1. 6 Information Technology Optimisation Activities The Optimisation team continue to support the Information Technology (IT) service by offering specialist skills in Ri. O. Assistance has been provided with complex support calls, the transfer of knowledge to internal support staff, as well as offering further support to streamline processes for product testing that will enable the introduction of new functionality. In recent weeks, efforts have allowed documentation to be tailored for use with a remote printing service. This reduces administrative effort and postage costs. MSK and Podiatry services will soon use the modified letter with partial booking letters and thereafter the optimisation efforts will look into developing scripted elements that will lead to further dynamic enhancements. Improvements continue to be made to reports, assessment forms and letters for an increasing number of services across the Trust. Subject Access Requests can now be delivered from Ri. O due to the efforts of the optimisation team and will be the foundation for customisable discharge summary reports in the future. Adults & Community Division The Division continues to benefit from the activities of the Optimisation team, especially with letter formatting for the remote printing solution (Synertec). Children & Families The Staffordshire School Nursing team (Tranche 11) was handed over to the Division on 2 nd March 2016 as an IPM replacement. Data migration has been deemed a requirement for Go Live and resources are being explored to deliver this and further configuration. Once funding has been confirmed the Electronic Patient Record go-live is scheduled for September 2016. A breakthrough has been achieved with the delivery of the Bloodspot interface with the Children's Hospital, with messages now able to move between BCHC and BCH. Further testing will continue to ensure all issues have been resolved before configuration in the live environment. Specialist Division Tranche 9 with the Rehabilitation service went live on 29 th March 2016 with a TRIMS replacement, with significant challenges to delivery. The challenges remain with integration of existing applications with Ri. O which are being explored by the division, the project team and 3 rd party suppliers. Go-live is scheduled for July/August 2016. Engagement has started with the Dental Hospital (Tranche 12) to move from IPM to Ri. O by the end of June 2016. As with Tranche 9, there will be significant challenges to integrate existing applications with Ri. O, particularly with the move to the new hospital and the short timescales involved.

Quality Priorities CQUIN - Dementia Carers Bi-annual Report Overview The ‘Ensuring Carers of People with Dementia Feel Adequately Supported ‘ CQUIN, for 2015/16, looks at the information provided for carers and assesses whether this is appropriate. It was agreed between the Commissioners and the Trust that carers would be sent a survey and that other local processes would be identified for surveying carers of people with dementia. Part of the CQUIN requirement is also for the findings of the survey to be presented biannually to the Provider Board. Year to date findings The year to date results are from 58 carer support surveys completed either on the ward with the carer, by post or by staff who are carers for persons with dementia accessing the intranet. Q: How likely are you to recommend our ward/ unit to family and friends if they needed similar care or treatment? Extremely likely: 80. 36% Likely: 14. 29% Action → It is very positive to note only 1. 79% were unlikely to recommend our wards to their family or friends and this accounted to one carer. Q: Do you think that the person you care for has been treated with dignity and their privacy respected, while in our care? Yes: 98. 18% Q: When you visit the person you care for on our wards/units do the staff acknowledge you? Yes: 90. 91% Q: Have you found staff to be helpful, friendly and polite? Yes always: 76. 79% Yes most of the time: 12. 5% Yes some of the time: 8. 93% Rarely: 1. 79% Q: Do you as a carer feel supported by the service and staff working in our wards / units? Yes: 89. 29% Action → The score is positive but it would be interesting to understand what ‘supported’ would look like for those who said they didn’t feel supported Q: What kind of support, advice and information do you feel is important/you need as a Carer? Sample comment received: Action → to address this a Staff Uniform Guide has been produced and also a new welcome pack for in-patient units will include information on what takes place on the ward (including Rehab) and the roles of staff that provide care. Quality and Performance Report – Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Trust – Report period March 2016 I think it would be nice to be advised of what happens on the ward re: rehabilitation, also what staff do what. They all appear to be very nice but no one has really asked me our background. 16
Quality Priorities Q: As a carer do you feel you are kept informed / involved and treated as an equal partner in the care and treatment of the person you care for? Overall score 85. 24% Action →Through engagement with carers as part of the development of a new Carers Strategy for the trust, other areas of advice, information and support may be identified. Q: Were you given enough time to talk to staff about any possible worries / concerns ? Overall score: 80. 36% Action → There is a need to better promote the Customer Service team who can work with carers to resolve worries and concerns. Q: Have staff on the ward/unit made you aware of the Trust’s Information and Advice service who specialise in working with the carers and families of our patients? Yes: 59. 26% Action → Need to further promote the service and also make carers aware of alternative support such as the Birmingham Carers Hub Q: Have you been provided with Information for Families and Carers leaflet and the Living Well Handbook? Yes: 59. 26% Action → The booklet needs to be disseminated more widely across all in-patient units. Q: 11 Are you happy the information is given to you in a way which you are able to understand meets your needs? Yes: 80% Action → All new information should include patient and carer views at the draft stage to ensure the information meets the needs of the end user. Q: Would you know who to speak to on the ward/unit if you had a query or concern? Yes: 90. 74% Q: Are you involved or have you been involved in the discharge planning process and discussion regarding discharge? Yes: 77% Action → Through the engagement process for the new trust Carers Strategy, carers will be asked how they want to be involved in this process Q: Do you know where to go for help and support as a carer once the cared for has been discharged? Yes: 69. 39% Action → The information booklet for families and carers includes information on who to contact post discharge. This will be disseminated more widely. Q: Overall , how would you rate your experience as a carer? Conclusion: While the results of the carer survey are generally very positive, there is a need to look at areas where we can make further improvements for carers and families. The Carers Strategy due to be developed during quarter one and quarter two of 2016/17 will play a key role in better understanding the needs of our carers through the engagement process that will help form the strategy.

Quality Priorities CQUIN - Dementia training Q 4 report Overview BCHC’s Dementia training programme was developed within the parameters of the Health Education England dementia core skills and knowledge framework to ensure we are connected to the national and regional programmes and interventions, resulting in a dementia competent workforce. The Framework consists of 3 tiers: • Tier 1 Basic awareness ½ day: Dementia awareness in terms of knowledge, skills and attitude for all working in healthcare. • Tier 2 Enhanced awareness 1 day: Knowledge, skills and attitude for roles that have regular contact with people living with dementia. • Tier 3 Advanced intervention 2 days: Enhancing knowledge, skills and attitude for key staff working with people living with dementia, designed to support leadership. Dementia awareness training progress To ensure that all BCHC staff are aware of the Dementia agenda, a Dementia information leaflet was attached to the May 2015 payslip of all employees. The Trust has taken a focused approach to delivering dementia training, ensuring that in-patient areas and dementia friendly wards received the relevant level of training as a priority. Overall 88% of staff in these areas have completed dementia training as shown in the table below.

Quality – Area of Underperformance Trust position Admitted 2. 5 18 week pathway consultant led (admitted patients) 2. 6 18 week pathway consultant led (non-admitted patients) Issue The Trust overall is underperforming in both RTT admitted and nonadmitted targets with current performance of 88. 11% versus the 90% target for admitted and 92. 26% versus the 95% target for non-admitted. Both are as a result of a breach in Specialist Division, specifically Dental services with a monthly performance of 88. 11% in admitted and 85. 09% in non-admitted. Dental Service has maintained performance on the incomplete pathway by prioritising patients waiting longest which has resulted in underperformance in both the admitted and non-admitted clock pathways. There has been a particular impact on performance during March as the hospital was closed for one week during the move to the new site. Actions being taken Action Date • The service continues to use all measures at its disposal to prioritise those patients waiting over 18 weeks as they Ongoing settle into the new Dental Hospital, to mitigate against any short term falls in activity that arise as a consequence of the move. Related Issues Trust position Non-Admitted Dental position Non-Admitted The KPI for Incomplete Pathways in Dental has achieved 93. 91% against a 92% target. This demonstrates that services have been able to control their waiting lists and are prioritising those patients who have waited longest during the disruption to service associated with the move to the new hospital. 26 Quality and Performance Report – Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Trust – Report period March 2016

Supporting information relating to breaches Nursing For community services there is a shortage of bank community workers. The Trust is working with agencies and the Birmingham Cluster to reduce rates so that they are consistent with Band 5 price caps. A number of larger agencies have agreed to reduce rates immediately and there also a number of new suppliers who have been approached. It is therefore expected that the rate of noncompliant shifts in this area will reduce significantly. For the prison service we have to use one off framework Agency as the other Agencies cannot always supply us with NOMS (National Offender Management Service) and G 4 S security cleared staff which are needed for work in the Prison service. Admin and Management The main reasons for exceeding price is due to pre-existing contracts, which were entered into through the previously operating procurement framework, as existing contracts expire, new contracts will be negotiated to bring rates in line with the new rates. The majority of breaches are within Finance (where there was a locally agreed framework arranged prior to the caps to provide difficult to recruit vacancies) and IT (national shortage of specific skills relating to procured IT applications). Scientific, Technical and Therapeutic As with management breaches, the main reasons for exceeding price is due to pre-existing contracts, which will be reviewed as existing contracts expire.
