Refreshing the Framework for Maternity

Why refresh the framework?
  • Policy landscape, evidence and knowledge has
    moved on since 2001
  • We need a strategic framework that meets a number
    of challenges, including
  • Unequal access, care and experience
  • Unequal maternal and infant outcomes for key
    groups across the life course
  • Unequal involvement and engagement of women
  • Emerging demographic and epidemiological
    challenges
  • Scotlands diverse geography and demography-
    remote and rural, urban, mixed, small
    populations, concentrated populations, homogenous
    communities, diverse communities.

The Approach so far.
  • Synthesising old and new- applying the key
    dimensions of Healthcare Quality - person
    centred, safe and effective
  • Nothing taken out but some merging and some key
    additions needed, for example-
  • addressing inequalities in access, experience and
    outcomes
  • health improvement gaps- maternal and infant
    mental health, parenting capacity
  • Performance/service improvement measures

4
Being clear about the unique contribution of
maternity services
  • 2 specific roles
  • As a partner with other NHS services and other
    public and third sector services
  • In providing quality services that are sensitive
    to inequalities- using the 6 dimensions and 7cs
    of quality

5
Not starting from scratch- its a busy
landscape!
  • KCND and Maternity Pathways
  • Neonatal services-expert group and MCNs
  • Antenatal inequalities working group- evidence
    into action guidance for NHS Boards-
  • Caesarean section review of trends- expert groups
    recommendations-into practice?
  • Patient and user involvement report
  • Health improvement gaps
  • Workforce- development and planning
  • Evaluation of SWHMR
  • Antenatal education-mapping and curriculum
    development
  • Vulnerable families

6
What do we need to strengthen?
  • Skills for assessment and response to multiple
    and complex needs- (assessing and managing risk)
  • KCND ?Vulnerable pathways
  • Mechanisms for tailoring of services-planning,
    workforce etc
  • Measuring service improvement- looking at
    technical and quality measures-for
    example-caesarean section rates, access data,
    patient experience feedback, complaints.
  • Embedding the Girfec practice model

GIRFEC PRACTICE MODEL
8
Shifts in perspective?
  • Thinking about maternity services as part of the
    bigger NHS and Public Service picture
  • Thinking about the relationship between medical
    and social risk
  • Taking a life course perspective not a service
    perspective
  • Using womens experience of care to improve
    service quality

Thinking about equity in the quality of care,
effective and person centred for every woman and
her baby
9
The Cultural Challenge
  • health inequalities are avoidable and can be
    reduced
  • maternity services have a critical role as a
    universal NHS service to women and infants

10
Strengthening Universal services not the same
services for everyone
Delivering health and other services that are
both universal and appropriately prioritised to
meet the needs of those most at risk of poor
health, and that seek to prevent problems
arising, as well as addressing them if they do.
(Equally Well 2008)
11
Tailoring works
  • For example-
  • Age specific antenatal care has been shown in
    studies from the USA, Australia and the UK to
    significantly reduce the preterm delivery rate
    (12 vs 26),
  • the incidence of low birth weight babies (5 vs
    14),
  • increase the uptake of post natal contraception
    (77 vs 36- up to 1/5 of teenagers are pregnant
    again within 3yrs)
  • breastfeeding (20 vs 2).
  • Ref NICE draft guidance on socially complex
    pregnancies

12
Equity in the quality of care-every woman, every
baby, every time
  • Caring and compassionate staff and services
  • Clear communication and explanation about
    conditions and treatment options
  • Effective collaboration between clinicians,
    patients (and others involved in providing care
    and supporting the patient)
  • A clean and safe care environment
  • Continuity of care and good access to care
  • Clinical excellence

13
Applying the 6 dimensions of healthcare quality
14
Format (at present.)
  • Evidence base
  • Overarching principles
  • Service descriptors pregnancy- birth- post natal
    care

Feedback so far
  • Right direction
  • Need to emphasise maternity services as part of a
    bigger system- joins between pre-conceptual
    children and adult services
  • Performance measures are welcome
  • Tension between choice/want v need- needs to be
    explicit
  • New clinical challenges need to be highlighted-
    maternal age, obesity, neonatal care etc

18
Next Steps
  • Writing group meeting on 15th June
  • Further feedback gathered over the summer
  • Consensus day in October
  • Circulated with ministerial approval-
    November/December
  • Development of implementation plan post- December
