Issue - meetings

The Board resolved to:-

(i)            Note the finding of the analysis exercise.

(i)            Instruct the Chief Officer to investigate how the AHSCP performance compares to the Grampian wide performance by referring to the Unscheduled Care Group, and

(ii)          Refer the report to the Clinical and Care Governance Group proposing that they could potentially use some of the data – particularly that in relation to Respiratory Medicine, Cardiology and Infectious Diseases – as baseline indicators to measure the success of the Acute Care @ Home project

The Board had before it the paper which discussed the improvement in re-admissions. The Board heard from Alison MacLeod that the paper was requested following discussions arising from the Annual Report in August 2018. There had followed an investigation into the figures which were forwarded to the Unscheduled Care Group and the Clinical care Group for baselining.

The Board discussed that a report around the KPI’s could be brought to a future meeting to include some context around the figures. It was heard that the report indicated frailty as an issue to re-admission which would suggest further investigation within locality settings to see where any issues lay.
