Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sustaining Improvement: One Trust’s Time Critical Medicines Journey
Q: How did the electronic medical records shift affect the project?
EMEDS enabled near real-time visibility of medication administration, allowed remote monitoring across sites, and supported new protocols for time-critical meds, greatly accelerating and sustaining improvements.
Sustaining Improvement: One Trust’s Time Critical Medicines Journey
Q: What was the key to maintaining momentum and making the changes stick across a large, complex organization?
A multidisciplinary collaboration that included frontline staff, IT/informatics, nurses, pharmacists, physicians, and patient representatives, plus ongoing data measurement and leadership support, helped embed the changes as business as usual.
Sustaining Improvement: One Trust’s Time Critical Medicines Journey
Q: Could you give a brief overview of the project and what sparked it?
The project began after a relative's letter described significant delays in Parkinson's medication and a rapid health decline, revealing that the problem was widespread and not isolated. This spurred a trust-wide quality improvement effort that evolved into sustained changes over more than a decade.
Prescribing with confidence: When things go wrong in prescribing practice
Q: What supports should prescribers expect after an incident?
Expect a just and learning culture where the response is fair and compassionate, psychological safety is protected, and organizations provide resources such as learning culture charters and support networks to aid staff and patients.
Prescribing with confidence: When things go wrong in prescribing practice
Q: What does duty of candor mean in practice?
Duty of candor involves being open and honest with patients when harm occurs, offering a genuine apology that acknowledges impact and outlines next steps, and understanding the legal distinction between organisational and professional duties.
