Tower Hamlets CCG Quality and Performance Framework 2016-18
Executive Summary
THCCG implemented a quality and performance framework for 2014-2016. The framework allowed us to set the context for our work and supported us in benchmarking ourselves against commissioning recommendations of ‘The Big 4’ reports (Francis, Keogh, Berwick & Winterbourne View) and identifying actions that needed to be taken in response to the reports’ findings.
We are now updating the framework in light of national policy/ guidance, our strategic priorities, complex provider and partner landscape and changes to external assurance processes.

The link between Quality and Performance
What is quality?
• The NHS definition of quality as defined by Lord Darzi in High Quality Care for All in 2008 sets out three dimensions to quality: Care that is clinically effective, Care that is safe, Care that provides a positive patient experience.
What is performance?
• Performance can be described as the accomplishment of a given standard or ambition measured against a present threshold.
How are they linked?
• If providers are not achieving a standard (performance target) this can impact on the patient in many ways. For example:- the CCG has a threshold for infection control training of 90%. If the provider is not achieving this and levels are below the 90% this could put patients at risk of infection e.g. MRSA because staff are not trained in infection control techniques. In turn the current threshold for MRSA is zero if providers are reporting rates above zero we would then triangulate this with training levels in infection control, patient feedback and PLACE reports.

An integrated Quality and Performance Framework reflects the CCG’s approach to the integrated
quality and performance function of the organisation.
The purpose of the CCG quality and performance framework
Outline NHS Tower Hamlets CCG’s approach to quality and performance to our governing body members, the public and other key stakeholders
Ensure that quality and quality improvement is placed at the heart of the health care THCCG commissions
To provide a framework for embedding recommendations from National and Local reports
Ensure that there is a robust link between commissioning, clinical quality and performance so that the health needs of the local population (outlined in the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment) are met.
Ensure there are systems and processes in place to provide internal and external assurance that the CCG is able to discharge its responsibilities.
Provide a framework for the development and monitoring of contractual quality and performance requirements with providers.

Why we need to change
Tower Hamlets CCG Priorities
Person Centred Care: Care will take into account the wider needs of an individual and their family. People will be supported to set their own goals for their wider wellbeing. The achievement of these goals will be supported by excellent, evidence based care, tailored to the individuals’ needs and ability to be engaged in their health and wellbeing.
A focus on mental health: People will have better access to mental health support offered seamlessly with the rest of their healthcare. People with more complex mental health needs will be provided with more support to live independently and spend less of their time with secondary mental health services.
Primary Care at the Centre: Recognising that a successful health system starts with excellent primary care services. As the services used most by people in Tower Hamlets, we will ensure it provides excellent, care, experience and access. Primary care will be the first port of call for people in Tower Hamlets, and ensure that specialist services are reserved for those that need them.

Children and Early YearsComplex care, 1-5 strategy
AdultsUrgent care, Non-complex elective care

Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults
The Care Act 2014 became law in April 2015, and in so doing placed adult safeguarding on a formal legal footing for the first time
CCGs as commissioners of local health services need to assure themselves that the organisations from which they commission have effective safeguarding arrangements in place.
CCGs are responsible for securing the expertise of Designated Professionals on behalf of the local health system.
Safeguarding forms part of the NHS standard contract (service condition 32) and commissioners need to agree with their providers, through local negotiation, what contract monitoring processes are used to demonstrate compliance with safeguarding duties.
CCGs must gain assurance from all commissioned services, both NHS and independent healthcare providers, throughout the year to ensure continuous improvement. Assurance may consist of assurance visits, section 11 audits41 and attendance at provider safeguarding committees.
What do we have in place
Systems to train staff to recognise and report safeguarding issues
A clear line of accountability for safeguarding, reflected in our governance arrangements
Arrangements to work with local authorities through our Local Safeguarding Children Boards, Safeguarding Adult Boards and Health and Wellbeing Boards
Arrangements to share information between service providers, agencies and commissioners
Designated doctors and nurses who are responsible for safeguarding children and looked after children.
To be recruited to A designated lead for Adult Safeguarding, Mental Capacity Act and PREVENT .
Two governing body members with a responsibility for safeguarding children and adults

The NHS Standard Contract
Quality requirements are included in the contracts with our providers. For 16-17 contracts we have included a range of local quality indicators to support quality improvement. There are also contractual levers we can use to support provider compliance with quality and performance. The following key documents inform the national and local quality requirements and support innovations in quality are:-
The NHS Outcomesframework acts as acatalyst for driving quality improvements and outcome measures. This provides focus for the local quality elements in the contract.
The NHS Constitution sets out the principles and values that guide how the NHS should act and make decisions.It also explains the rights and responsibilities of staff, patients and the public, and the NHS’s pledges to them.
The key aim of the Commissioning for Quality and Innovation (CQUIN) framework is to secure improvements in quality of services and better outcomes for patients.

An Example of Quality Assurance in Practice
Intelligence from a patients on NHS choices identifies poor patient experience on maternity wards at RLH
The maternity survey and information from maternity liaison services committee and FFT feedback provide further intelligence that patient experience is poor
Action: CCG undertake quality assurance visit to that particular ward to obtain feedback on patient experience and other key areas
Action: CCG raise at CQRM
Outcome:
There is now a maternity board with key stakeholders around the table to take forward actions and work on improvement
33
Quality Assurance Visits – embedding Francis
We have implemented a programme of quality assurance visits to our providers – acute, mental health, independent sector providers, nursing and residential homes
We also undertake a series of themed visits throughout the year focusing on safeguarding
The visits are a useful tool for gaining assurance of the quality of services Tower Hamlets CCG commission
Our visiting team include governing body members, local authority, GPs and staff from the CCG
Our visits are guided by hard and soft intelligence we receive including feedback from patients and carers
Feedback from the visits is given to our providers and we monitor any actions arising from the visits to ensure they are implemented
34
Clinical Quality Review Meetings
Means of gaining assurance from providers on areas of concern
Use of key lines of enquiry based on intelligence
Progress on action plans – e.g. Never events
Assurance on provider internal governance and processes
Opportunity for open discussion
Clinically-led
