Challenges in Developing and Scaling Improvement Capability

  •  
  • Embedding and sustaining an organisation-wide quality improvement culture and practice, is like any organisational transformation programme - challenging. There are many stages in the journey to having a mature improvement capability with different challenges arising at different stages. In this guide we focus on three key challenges which generally present themselves at all points along the improvement journey.

Building Improvement Skills

  • Developing the right skills at the right levels of the organisation is a crucial component in wide-spread sustainable improvement. Life QI underpins a systematic approach to building skills in the following ways:
• Learn by doing with QI tools
• Share best practice projects and examples
• Peer-to-peer collaboration
• Easily coordinate and manage your training programme

Executing Improvement Projects

• Consistent approach and the tools to get the job done
• Collaborative workspace to bring the team together
• Learning from others to accelerate improvement
•

Case Study

Developing QI culture and visibility at Southern HSC Trust

The Southern Health and Social Care Trust provides services across the five council areas in the south of Northern Ireland. With 13,000 staff the Trust delivers services from a number of hospitals, community-based settings and in some cases directly in individuals’ homes.

 

The Trust has for several years been on a journey to develop wide-ranging improvement capability across all areas of the organisation and use this to deliver the safest, most effective and most compassionate care to every patient. Recognising early on that appropriate technology was a vital part of their improvement infrastructure, they adopted Life QI to support QI learning, project execution and visibility. Initially used primarily as part of QI training programmes, the software is now in use across all Directorates for staff to plan and execute a wide range of improvement ideas.

 

Once rolled out to all Directorates, over the course of one year they saw a 200% increase in the number of projects being run across the organisation and a 100% increase in the number of staff involved in live improvement projects. Crucially there has also been a marked increase in the proportion of projects successfully delivering demonstrable improvements.

 

This groundswell in engagement, activity and successful projects has provided a powerful catalyst in developing a more widespread culture of improvement across the Trust.
