What about SPC? did you know that there are some pre-requisites for its effective use? If your answer is ‘yes’ please list them in a reply.

I know you mentioned the ISO Standard (BS ISO 7101:2023) Healthcare organisation management – Management systems for quality in healthcare organisations – Requirements in the last few days on here Thomas. I’d be interested to develop an understanding of any healthcare organisations that are implementing the ISO standard please or are thinking…Read more

I am working with one large Trust to help design and implement a QMS to this ISO Standard. I’m sure that some others may be but I don’t know which. I do no that several other Trusts are interested in the standard as you can see from comments in this SIG. This week I’ll be posting questions and answers from my last webinar. A number of questions…Read more

I am very curious of the adoption of ISO 9001 standards within hospital settings currently, particularly at the ORGANISATION level rather than limited to individual departments or service lines. Having a clear picture helps us examining existing implementations in other UK hospitals, also help identify potential gaps and inform our own approach,…Read more

I think that ISO 7101 is the standard that the NHS should use at the organisation level and for main Trust delivery of care. Other areas that have specific requirements like Labs, Pharmacy and Radiology should use a management system based on Annex SL, as is ISO 7101 (and ISO 9001). An Integrated Management System could then be used to manage…Read more

It’s important that Trusts see the full picture rather than just look at individual Departments and Services. The full picture is looking at ‘performance’ right across the organisation.

Hi there Q Folks, I am starting a PhD working with universities in England and Canada. The focus is the perception of whistleblowing and the treatment of whistleblowers in healthcare services. Do people feel that it would be helpful to discuss this in this forum or a designated special interest group? All thoughts welcome – Tom

Hi @tombell – what an important topic, and (unfortunately) one that always seems to be quite timely.
I’ve actually been discussing this area with David Naylor – author of ‘Speaking Up in a Culture of Silence: changing the organisation behaviour from bullying and incivility to one of listening and productivity’.
He’s keen to bring together a few…Read more -
I’m sure you have already reached out to the freedom to speak up guardians Tom?

Hi Tom,
Many Trusts have adopted SPC at the Board level (~80%), and the Making Data Count team trained 40,000+ people if I remember the numbers correctly. There are thousands who have converted to using it. While it isn’t widely spread at all levels, it’s definitely the right direction when we discussed with MDC earlier today.
Have a look at thi…Read more
Thanks Isabel. I’ve had a look. Have you a view on the pre-requisites?
I’ve asked a friend of mine, ChatGTP, three questions:
1. Is SPC suitable for use in healthcare?
2. What are the requirements for SPC to be effective? and
3. Are these pre-requisites adhered to for healthcare processes?
I got some interesting answers; I do take ChatGPT’s views with a pinch of salt never-the-less they are broadly in agreement…Read more
Hi Tom,
SPC is definitely suitable, but the challenge lies in raising awareness. As the saying goes, we don’t know what we don’t know, which is exactly why the MDC program exists.
The question is, how can we spread the word using language that resonates with those we need to convert? Thinking about the diffusion of innovation, building a mov…Read more
Certainly good stuff Isabel but they miss the point. The point is that a pre-requisite to good Data Collection is Process Management. A pre-requisite to Process Management is Process Documentation and ‘performance in the Process. A pre-requisite to Process Documentation is understanding Process and System. The NHS do none of that.
