2016 and Beyond
The Report of the Safe Staffing COI
• Represented a shared commitment by the District Health Boards (DHBs) and the New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) to work together to agree on: – a mechanism for nurses, midwives and employers to respond
immediately if workloads exceed the determined levels
– Sustainable solution to safe staffing issues, developed in a way that has the confidence of nurses and midwives
Step COI Elements Purpose CCDM tool/process/ structure that achieves this
1 Forecasting patients To enable organisation to accurately predict elective and acute
demand (whole of service level and unit/area/ward level)
Central CCDM Council
Local Service Councils
Core Data set
Integrated Operation
2 Smoothing the planned workload To remove as much variability as possible from the patient
forecast
Work analysis
Core Data Set
Integrated operations
3 Patient generated staffing Generate a basic acuity based evidence driven staffing plan Work analysis
FTE staffing calculation
4 Non-patient generated staffing Accounting for time required to keep ward functional, sustain
quality and safety and to support staff to acquire new skills and
knowledge
Work analysis
FTE staffing calculation
Local Service councils
5 Estimating the effect of moderating factors Consider contextual factors –
Leadership, team culture, physical environment, technology,
equipment and work design
Work analysis
Local Service Councils
Variance Indicator Scoring
6 Provision for leave Base staffing must account for entitlements –annual, sick,
parental & special leave using historical data of actual rates per
service and staffing group to ensure accuracy
Work analysis
FTE Staffing calculation
7 Fine tuning and budgeting Test the staffing plan against the forecasted demand well ahead
of implementation. If any mismatch is identified take steps well
in advance to decrease demand or increase capacity

Timing of Involvement
• Committee of Inquiry (2006)
• Health & Disability Services Standards (2008) – “Consumers receive timely, appropriate and safe services from
suitably qualified/skilled and/or experienced service providers” (2.8)
– “There is a clearly documented and implemented process which determines service provider levels and skill mixes in order to provide safe service delivery” (2.8.1)
• Health & Safety Act (2016)
• NZ Health Strategy (2016)
– “value & better performance”
Mandate for Safe Staffing
“The CCDM programme provides a comprehensive infrastructure for a whole of hospital approach to managing its nursing & midwifery workforce to better meet the needs of patients.” (p.74)
CCDM has enabled a level of trust in and transparency of workforce management at the bedside which has not been previously experienced.” (p.14)
“CCDM plays an integral role towards achieving a safer workplace for staff and care venue for patients.”(p.14)
2015 CCDM Evaluation Findings
Overall feedback tells us that our patients have a better experience of care since CCDM was introduced and this is reflected in the many stories we hear of the benefits of nurses feeling able and willing to go the extra mile and in many cases to contribute that discretionary effort that makes all the difference. DHB CE
This programme is an
investment with real
benefits and not a just
cost. DHB CE
The Local Data Councils are an enabler for our wards, and the staff are grateful
for a place to discuss ideas, and local solutions to the
problems that they face on a day to day basis.
Operations Manager
As the Operations Manager the CCDM work has been invaluable in the way that we have developed our Integrated Operations Centre, we now have so many tools to support us in our work. We are able to be very transparent around what our decisions are based on
Operations Manager
“Better quality care is less expensive care. It is more efficient and less wasteful. It is the right care at the right time. It should also lead to fewer patients being harmed or injured”
“Quality frameworks can serve as a way of shifting the focus of the health system from managing and delivering outputs to improving patient experience and outcomes”.
The Care Capacity Demand Management system (CCDM) is one QI
initiative that stood out during our visit to BOPDHB and
demonstrates a number of elements that are necessary to develop,
implement and evaluate QI initiatives.
Exploring the links between Quality Improvement Strategies and Organisational Outcomes in Four New Zealand District Health Boards. Report prepared by the Ministry of Health, the Treasury, and the Health Quality & Safety Commission 2016.
CCDM is a Quality Improvement Initiative
Social Processes
Technical Processes
CCDM
• Slow patchy implementation
• The utilisation of only some of the tools and processes
• Staff change management readiness
• Limited ongoing resourcing of the programme
• There is national expectation of increase pace and scale however constraints & enablers are at the local level.
Not So Good News
Common success factors across most or all of the DHBs, included • alignment to strategic goals • executive and clinical leadership • culture and capability • measurement and results, and • consumer engagement and patient experience
Advice for others: • Do not underestimate the amount of time it takes for changes to bed in &
benefits to be realised. • Investment in analytical capability and data systems was often identified as a
key enabler. • Attribution of savings, efficiencies or improved outcomes to specific
programmes can be problematic in cases where multiple QI initiatives are introduced .
• Quality improvement programmes can vary in their financial impact, either at the organisational or programme-specific levels.
Quality Improvement Enablers
All programme components need to be fully implemented.
The identified required changes need to be put in place.
To Achieve all the Expected Outcomes of CCDM
The fundamental shift
It is critically important to the integrity of the entire process that once the staffing requirements have been matched with the forecast workload, this is the basis on which budgeting decisions are made. Budgets must fit staffing requirements, instead of staffing being made to fit budget requirements. To do otherwise is inappropriate and undermines the goal of safe and effective healthcare delivery.

3. Programme Standards
Previously Now
A number of different documents used – Over the Line, Business as Usual
Single set of Standards
Annual process of self assessment Annual process of bipartite assessment
Over the line assessment format ‘new’
Standards format already familiar to DHBs
Consensus on progress attained challenging
Clear guidance on how to meet the criteria for attaining the Standards
Supported by new DHB Progress reporting framework – gaps and attainment already known
Programme Standards Preview
4. Variance Indicator Scoring
Previously Now
SSHW Unit recommend indicators and DHB have tailored
SSHW Unit recommend 7 evidenced based indicators
Significant variation between DHBs with scores
Standard, consistent and supported by evidence
Variation between wards within the same DHB so difficulty interpreting variance indicator scores and responding appropriately
Greater understanding and transparency of variance for wards and at operations level
DHBs build system to display customised score/colours on Capacity at a Glance screens
DHBs build system to display customised score/colours on Capacity at a Glance screens
Variance Indicator Scoring is part of Variance Response Management (one of three CCDM Programme components). Variance indicators are designed to flag care capacity variance in the moment during a shift.
5. Core Data Set
Previously Proposed
SSHW Unit recommend minimum ‘safe six’ data set
Collective agreement on expanded data set (still includes safe-six)
Definitions vary between DHBs
Definitions to be set
Not all of the safe six collected in every DHB
DHB to have some choice to select DHB/service relevant measures
Safe-six not provide enough information to assess CCDM Programme impact
Additional measures improve evaluation of CCDM Programme impact
Large data sets difficult to arrange and display for ease of analysis
Safe six increased to 15 measures that are evidenced-based
Data sets not consistently reported from floor to board
Data set can be reported from floor to board
