We were particularly heartened by the overwhelming response to the NOCA Quality Improvement Champion Award 2024. The record number of submissions this year from across the Irish healthcare system underscores the collective commitment to delivering positive change and improving healthcare quality. We will be sharing a booklet of all submissions on the NOCA website soon.
Huge congratulations again to the winning team from @OPSLongfWestM and to our three highly commended projects - Implementation of Electronic Clinical Pathways (ECP) for Patients Presenting with Hip Fractures to the Emergency Department in @stjamesdublin presented by @rsampaiopaco, To examine post-operative pain management on an acute Orthopaedic ward @PharmacyOLOL presented by @MarieRicha4577, and Reducing rates of hospital acquired venous thromboembolism in @BGHsswhg presented by @a_cute_medANP and @EmerCooke1 #NOCA2024
Marie Richardson, Senior Pharmacist in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda is our third shortlisted NOCA Quality Improvement Champion Award 2024 speaker. The team's project sought to examine post-operative pain management on an acute Orthopaedic ward.
In PDSA 1, they undertook a baseline audit, and introduced the national analgesia prescribing guidelines. The made the guidelines accessible by printing on A2 posters and including on the electronic database. In PDSA 2, a patient information booklet was created after baseline audit and incorporated the relevant National Inpatient Experience Survey questions. In PDSA 3, a general surgery analgesia prescribing guideline was created. In PDSA 4, physiotherapists observed improved ability to mobilise patients - 30% improvement in ability to mobilise compared to baseline audit. #NOCA2024
So proud of my colleague Marie Richardson presenting on the behalf of our team on our project nominated for the NOCA QI Champion Award 2024! Team work at its finest! 🥳 #NOCA2024
