After HDFT Impact coaching, our Tissue Viability Team took their teaching to the wards to work more collaboratively with clinical teams to reduce patient pressure ulcers across Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust.
Well done to the Tissue Viability Team who have worked incredibly hard to build strong relationships, share knowledge, and embed best practice at the point of care! By supporting colleagues on the wards and focusing on early intervention and prevention, they are helping to improve patient outcomes and safety every day.
HDFT has been using “lean” improvement methods for over 10 years, and we’ve seen the improvements it can bring for patients and colleagues.
HDFT Impact builds on this experience to put continuous improvement at the centre of our culture and ways of working.
Continuous improvement is an organised approach to improving quality, health outcomes, safety, patient and family experience and efficiency. It introduces ways of working that add value, reduce waste and empowers every colleague to identify improvements and develop solutions.
