1 Improving Acute Hospital Care for Adults with a Learning Disability and Adults with Autism in the East of England Guidance on undertaking audits of reasonable adjustments made for adults with a learning disability / autism using acute hospital services April 2013 This Guidance will enable acute hospital NHS Trusts to put in place systems to monitor and report on the effectiveness of reasonable adjustments made to meet the needs of adults with a learning disability and/or autism. The Guidance has been drawn up by the East of England A2A Network of Learning Disability Liaison Nurses / Disability Advisor with the support of Gerry Toplis on behalf of NHS Midlands and East and, latterly, the east of England Managed Clinical Network (Mental Health and Learning Disability). The key components of the reasonable adjustments audit are set out on section 2 and can be summarised as: 1. A flag on patient information systems to identify adults with a learning disability and / or autism using acute Trust services. 2. Case note audits which ask whether the need for reasonable adjustments has been identified and, where noted, have been made 3. Using existing patient experience surveys to identify if reasonable adjustments have been made. 4. Evidence about individual cases collected by the learning disability liaison nurse/disability advisor. 5. Collating and reporting on the reasonable adjustments audit. 1. Context In 2011/12, all 17 acute hospital NHS Trusts in the east of England undertook self assessments of their services in relation to meeting the needs of adults with a learning disability/autism. They then agreed improvement plans for 2012/14 with commissioners and the Learning Disability Partnership Boards. NHS Midlands and East reviewed each of the 1
2 self assessments and improvement plans and published a report in September 2012, available here: The report recommended that acute hospital Trust Boards should use a Learning Disability/Autism Dashboard of Improvement, Quality and Efficiency Measures to effectively monitor and scrutinise the difference being made to people s care, their health outcomes and their experience as patients (pages 15 and 16 of the report). One of the key measures in this Dashboard is an audit of the reasonable adjustments being made. The report recommended that the east of England A2A Network should draw up options and guidance for Trusts on undertaking audits of reasonable adjustments. It should be noted that this approach is relevant to other groups of patients e.g. those with dementia or mental health difficulties. Each group will raise particular issues in putting reasonable adjustments in place and so it is important that a flagging system is in place to be able to identify people in any patient groups for whom reasonable adjustments are to be audited. 2. Guidance It is not the aim of this Guidance to develop separate systems for the audit of reasonable adjustments. Rather, it is to build on the current audit work and the information available to Trusts to enable periodic reports to be provided as part of the Learning Disability/Autism Dashboard. 2.1 Learning Disability/Autism Flag All acute hospital NHS Trusts in the east of England either have a learning disability/autism flag on their patient information systems or are implementing one. This is key to enabling this group of people to be identified and included in the audit work. 2.2 Case Note Audits Audits of case notes are carried out very regularly by all Trusts. These can provide evidence as to whether the need for reasonable adjustments has been identified and recorded by clinical staff. However, sometimes reasonable adjustments are identified and made as part of everyday practice e.g. easy read menu cards, without a note being made in case records. It can also difficult to find out from case notes whether the reasonable adjustments have actually been made and how effective they were. This information is likely to be more available through the patient experience survey returns (see 2.3 below). Some Trusts have developed specific documentation for nursing staff to use: James Paget University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust: a Learning Disability/Autism Reasonable Adjustments Tool (Appendix 1) 2
3 Luton and Dunstable University Hospital: Nursing Initial Assessment documentation with specific sections regarding people with a learning disability (Appendix 2). This documentation can be included in current case note audit work. Addenbrooke s University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has developed an audit tool for the care of patients with a learning disability, including the reasonable adjustments made (Appendix 3). It is recommended that each Trust should: 1. Decide if nursing documentation should make specific reference to the needs of people with a learning disability and/or autism. 2. Ensure that it has an agreed process for including case notes of people with a learning disability/autism in the regular cycle of case note audits. 3. Agree the level of detail about reasonable adjustments it requires through case note audits, including the possibility of a specific audit tool for the care of patients with a learning disability. 4. Agree how frequently it will collect this information e.g. monthly, quarterly 2.3 Patient Experience Surveys Patient experience survey returns will often provide information about whether reasonable adjustments have been made for someone and how successful they were. However, this information is not usually identified and used as evidence about the provision of reasonable adjustments. It is recommended that the analysis of patient satisfaction survey returns by adults with a learning disability/autism or by their family carers should include identifying and reporting on: 1. The reasonable adjustments people with a learning disability or family carers report as being made 2. The benefits arising from those reasonable adjustments 3. The reasonable adjustments people report as being requested but not made 4. The impact of these reasonable adjustments not being made. 2.4 Evidence Collected by the Learning Disability Liaison Nurse/Disability Advisor The learning disability liaison nurse/disability advisor in each Trust will have contact with many, but not all, the adults with a learning disability/autism using the Trust s services. 3
4 Through this, they will gather rich evidence of the reasonable adjustments needed by people, whether these are being made by the hospital s services, and how successful they are. These staff will be particularly involved in making reasonable adjustments for people with more complex needs and will be able to collect information on how well the Trust is able to act flexibly and effectively in making these adjustments. It is recommended that the evidence collected by the Learning Disability Liaison Nurse / Disability Advisor is a key component in reporting on reasonable adjustments, enabling the Trust to understand how well it is able, as a service system, to make effective reasonable adjustments for the full range of needs which adults with a learning disability/autism have. 2.5 Collating and Reporting on the Reasonable Adjustments Audit. It is likely that the most effective means of collating the evidence from the patient case note audit and patient experience surveys is by the Trust s audit team and the learning disability liaison nurse/disability advisor working together and putting this alongside evidence collected by the latter through their regular work to provide a joint report. The NHS Midlands and East report recommends that the Dashboard of Measures is reported to acute hospital Trust Boards at least annually, but possibly more often. There are different Board sub groups used by Trusts to receive this sort of information: Patient Experience Groups; Safeguarding Groups; Equality and Diversity Groups. It is suggested that the appropriate group will want to decide how frequently they receive reports specifically about reasonable adjustments and how these will be included in the Dashboard reported to the Board. It is recommended that: The hospital Trust s audit team and the Learning Disability Liaison Nurse / Disability Advisor work closely together to collate evidence from the approaches outlined previously and provide a joint report on the findings. The appropriate Trust Board sub group agrees how frequently they receive reports specifically about reasonable adjustments and how these will be included in the Dashboard reported to the Board.
