The ongoing challenge of GP retention in the NHS, as highlighted by Professor Kamila Hawthorne, is a pressing concern we at NovaHS are deeply committed to addressing. GPs are leaving the profession due to overwhelming workloads, administrative burdens, and the mental strain that leads to burnout. Combined with inadequate support and resources, these factors highlight the urgent need for effective retention strategies. GPs are invaluable assets to the NHS that we cannot afford to lose. We are hopeful that, in the not-so-distant future, things will change for the better. #HealthcareInnovation #GPRetention #NovaHS #NHS https://lnkd.in/gc2__Syy

Prescribing Errors – Common Causes of Prescribing Errors From Clinical Correspondence. At NovaHS, we process over 250,000 documents each month, with clinical correspondence serving as a critical communication channel for prescribing recommendations across various settings. However, these documents also contribute to the risk of prescribing errors, which can have serious consequences. Identifying and understanding the common causes of such errors in clinical correspondence is crucial to preventing them and ensuring patient safety. Common causes which we have identified are: Poor communication – Variations in systems and incomplete or outdated records can result in prescribing recommendations based on inaccurate information, increasing the risk of errors. Illegible handwriting – Despite the use of typed letters, handwritten prescriptions still exist and can be difficult to decipher. Lack of standardisation – There is a variation in the layout of letters, and this creates difficulty in deducing what action is required or has already taken place. Delays in clinical correspondence – Communication is sometimes received a few months after the appointment, it may no longer align with the patient's current health status, potentially leading to outdated or irrelevant prescribing recommendations. High workload – High pressured environments and workload can lead to an oversight and recommendations have been associated to the incorrect patient. At NovaHS, we ran an extensive QI project after analysing the common mistakes and created new pathways, standards and training to help reduce the risk significantly. #GPServices #HealthcareEfficiency #ClinicalCorrespondence #NovaHS #PatientCare #NHS #Coding #ClinicalCoding

I do love a good quality improvement (QI) project and appreciate the transformative power of a well-executed initiative. Here’s a structured approach that has worked well for us at NovaHS: Define clear objectives: Start with specific, measurable goals. What specific aspect of patient care are you aiming to improve? Clear objectives guide the focus of the QI project and help in evaluating its impact. Engage stakeholders: Involvement from all levels, from frontline staff to management, is crucial. Their insights not only enrich the project but also foster a sense of ownership and accountability, essential for sustainable change. Data-driven decisions: We base our strategies on solid data. We use both quantitative and qualitative data to understand the problem areas and to track improvements. This ensures any changes are evidence-based and targeted. Implement changes (gradually): Testing changes on a small scale before a full rollout. This pilot phase can help identify potential pitfalls and refine the process based on real-world feedback. Regular reviews and feedback loops: Set up continuous feedback mechanisms to monitor the effectiveness of the interventions. Regular reviews allow for timely adjustments and are essential for iterative improvement. Document and share learnings: Regardless of the outcome, documenting every step of the QI process is vital. We share successes and lessons learned within and beyond our organisation to promote best practices and collective learning. Quality improvement in healthcare is a dynamic and ongoing process. By systematically applying these principles, we have successfully delivered many meaningful changes, enhancing patient outcomes and service efficiency.

Our recent audit across five surgeries in England shows a remarkable 62.11% reduction in documents sent to GPs after implementing NovaHS's clinical correspondence processing service. This dramatic decrease translates to substantial time savings for GPs, allowing them to focus more on direct patient care rather than administrative tasks. Streamlining workflows with NovaHS has proven to be a game-changer in reducing the administrative burden on healthcare professionals. #GPServices #HealthcareEfficiency #ClinicalCorrespondence #NovaHS #PatientCare
