Naomi Spotswood @NaomiSpot presenting on quality improvement #DFTB22
What is quality care?
Quality care doesn’t always happen

Nowhere is perfect

Harm to 1:10 hospitalised patients
$4b cost each year
#WorkAsImagined vs #WorkAsDone

Naomi gives the example of her garden.

Also, hypothermia of newborns. We know it’s important to avoid but it still happens. #DFTB22
1. Develop a quality mindset

Be curious
Find reasons
2. Learn from your team

Talk to everyone.
Each person has a different understanding of complexities of workplace.
Knowledge is distributed.
3. Have a Data Plan

Pro Tip: Use data that’s already collected
4. Use a structured approach

Pause to understand the problem
Have a Plan to address the issue
Resources
Quality improvement methods
PDSA Cycles

Plan - one change at a time
Do it
Study - find out what worked, what didn’t, why not
Act on that information.

Wash, repeat. #DFTB22
Question about how to prioritise which of many ideas to pursue.

Definitely choose one.
Talk to others, find out what the group priorities are.
Pitch your plan and get others on board.
Choose one that you can make gains from

Choose small projects, small wins, low-hanging fruit.

@PaedSurg speaking about who is research for? #DFTB22
It starts with one. Like tattoos. Many people have one or two published papers. Few stop at three…

Often start with a case study n=1.
Patient-centred approach to a power analysis.

“How few people can I enrol in this trial so the smallest number of people as possible are exposed to a less efficacious treatment?” #DFTB22

Bronwyn Griffin @brongriffin presenting on improving burn care #DFTB22
Most burns happen in the home. Most homes also have a tap. Less access in rural and remote locations.

🔑 20 min cool water (within 3 hours)
70% get first aid. Is that enough? What’s an acceptable number?

Jason Acworth @acworthj presenting on rapid response systems. #DFTB22
Reminds us of the 80s when the hair was worn high and so were the pants!
As an intern, emergency response called only when a patient had stopped breathing or lost cardiac output.

1990s the MET call invented in Sydney. Hospital-wide patient-centred system. #DFTB22
