Transcription

1 For decision on AOM-P1168 Hospital Authority 2015 Key Performance Indicator Annual Review Purpose This paper informs Members of the progress of 2015 Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Annual Review and seeks Members comments and endorsement on the recommendations of the KPI Review Working Group (the Working Group). Background 2. The KPI framework was formulated in 2008, covering three pillars, namely clinical services, Human Resources (HR) and Finance. Each of the pillars is supported by a collection of KPIs selected based on a set of criteria as set out in Annex 1. The Working Group was formed in 2010 to conduct annual KPI review to ensure that the KPIs are in line with the service directions and priorities of the Hospital Authority (HA). Its membership and terms of reference are provided in Annex 2. Review Process 3. Comments and feedback on the KPIs, which are collected during the course of the year through various channels, such as Administrative and Operational Meeting (AOM), Directors Meeting, Cluster Management Meeting, Specialty Services Coordinating Committees and Central Committees, are put forward to the Working Group for consideration during the annual review. The Working Group s recommendations are presented to the related functional groups/committees (e.g. Medical Policy Group and Medical Services Development Committee for clinical services KPIs) and the top management team of HA Head Office for comments. The conceptual framework of the current process of KPI development, review, endorsement, implementation and monitoring is presented in Annex 3. Recent Development 4. In the Report of the Steering Committee on Review of HA (the Report) published in July 2015, recommendations have been put forward for HA to enhance and refine its KPIs to better address service demand and management, facilitate

2 - 2 - service planning and resource allocation, and drive best practices amongst various specialties, hospitals and clusters. The Report has also recommended that HA should coordinate with relevant specialties to address the serious access block problem in Accident and Emergency (A&E) Departments in concerned hospitals. As correspondingly committed in the HA Review Action Plan, mainly Items 66 and 86 respectively thereon, the above set the major directions for KPI development in the coming year KPI Annual Review Recommendations KPI Proposals 5. HA Review s recommendations on developing KPIs to reflect HA s service efficiency and capacity are among the focuses of the 2015 annual KPI review. Through efficiency KPIs, HA can facilitate performance benchmarking across clusters and amongst peers, which in turn can drive organisational learning as well as sharing of best practices and help develop efficient models of operation. Moreover, HA can identify the service gaps between capacity and demand through capacity KPIs, thus provide direction for capacity building and resource allocation. These KPIs are being further developed and expected to be ready for reporting by phases starting 2016/17 while KPI to help address the access block problem at A&E Department is being explored. 6. Upon completion of the 2015 KPI review, the Working Group agreed that the existing three-pillar KPI framework should be maintained. It also recommended revising the list of clinical services KPIs while the current KPI lists on Finance and HR would remain unchanged. The proposed new KPIs and refinements to existing KPIs are outlined in the ensuing paragraphs. Clinical Services KPIs New KPIs Capacity and throughput for Specialist Out-patient (SOP) services 7. Waiting time for SOP services is one of the key areas in the HA Review. SOP waiting time is indeed the outcome of many contributing factors and the existing KPIs on waiting time for SOP new case bookings for the eight major specialties are not adequate to fully reflect the service gaps between capacity and demand. It is therefore necessary to develop indicators to reflect service throughput against new case demand as well as allocation of medical manpower to handle new and old cases. The related indicators are being developed and are planned as follows for reporting in 2016/17 : (a) (b) No. of SOP first attendances per doctor; No. of SOP follow-up attendances per doctor; and

3 - 3 - (c) Growth of waiting list against throughput. Capacity and utilisation of Operating Theatre (OT) services 8. On OT services, the KPI Utilization rate of scheduled elective OT sessions is proposed to reflect the utilization of existing OT capacity with a view to giving insight into the potentials for further optimizing and maximizing the utilization of OT resources. The proposed KPI is planned for reporting in 2016/17. Access block monitoring 9. On access block monitoring, an indicator is being developed to reflect the time that a patient has to wait at A&E Department before getting admitted. Serious access block problem poses threat on patient safety and affects the standard of care. An indicator is being developed to reflect the frequency of the occurrence of access block problem. Refinement of Existing KPIs Access to General Outpatient Clinic (GOPC) services 10. Following the call flow simplification of the GOPC Telephone Appointment System (the System) in 2013 in response to the feedback from members of the public, the System could no longer capture some pre-requisite data for the reporting of the existing KPIs % of interactive voice appointment system (IVAS) call-in elderly patients offered with GOP appointment in two working days and % of IVAS call-in elderly, Comprehensive Social Security Assistance Scheme (CSSA) and non-cssa waiver patients offered with GOP appointment in two working days. Therefore, a new KPI namely GOPC Quota Availability (for Elders) is proposed to replace the existing KPIs to reflect the accessibility of the service to the elderly from another perspective. Day and same day surgery 11. On day and same day surgery services, the existing cluster-based KPI covering 18 selected procedures and other elective surgeries managed by anaesthetists for Ear Nose and Throat, Gynaecology, Ophthalmology, Orthopaedics and Traumatology (O&T) and Surgery across different specialties and different clinical management teams is not specific enough to reflect service performance and drive best practices. Therefore, it is proposed to replace the existing KPI by a specialty-based KPI on Rate of day surgery plus same day surgery for each of Surgery, O&T and Ophthalmology. These three specialties are chosen because they are the specialties with large variation in performance among clusters as far as the rate of day plus same day surgery is concerned. Besides, the proposed specialties have already covered a significant proportion of day surgery cases. The proposed KPI is ready for reporting in 2016/17.

4 - 4 - Implementation of Revised KPI List in 2016/ The revised list of clinical services KPI, incorporating the recommendations of the Working Group mentioned above, is set out in Annex 4. Subject to the Board s endorsement, the first report with the revised KPI list will commence by phases in 2016/17. Other Development related to KPIs 13. Apart from the above, the following initiatives, which will have impact on KPI development, are being undertaken : (a) The list of Controlling Officer s Report items, which are part of KPIs, is being reviewed with consideration being given to removing the following items from the list, subject to discussion with the Food and Health Bureau : Average length of stay (ALOS) for infirmary and mentally handicapped services; and Unit cost per inpatient discharged for infirmary and mentally handicapped services. The above items are proposed to be removed because for long stay patients, ALOS and unit cost per inpatient discharged are not meaningful indicators to reflect performance and utilisation of the services for the year. Instead, Unit cost per patient day is a better indicator for service utilisation. (b) (c) An information system (HA Management Information System) is being developed for phased implementation within three years to facilitate reporting, performance monitoring and information dissemination of KPIs. This system will facilitate the KPI reporting and report generation processes as well as disseminate relevant KPI information to different levels of staff within HA. User requirements have been developed and are being reviewed. It is anticipated that KPI reports will be made available through the system in phases starting from 2017/18 (HA Review Action Plan Item 67). The KPI reporting and monitoring mechanism has been enhanced with more active involvement of functional committees to support the HA Board in reviewing and monitoring HA s KPI performance with effect from the fourth quarter of With this enhancement, KPI reports on clinical services, HR and Finance are submitted to their respective functional committees for scrutiny and in-depth discussion with issues of concern or outlying performance brought up to the Board for attention and focused discussion. Through the enhanced

5 - 5 - mechanism and reporting platform, the Board s role in steering the development of KPIs will be strengthened, including identification of strategic areas for KPI development and setting of targets and standards. This is in line with the HA Review s recommendation related to enhancing the role of the Board in setting KPI standards and targets to drive performance and best practices (HA Review Action Plan Item 65). (d) (e) Continuous efforts are made to refine the format of KPI Report to enhance its readability. Under the refinement proposals, the statistical reports for clinical services KPIs (Appendix 1 to KPI Quarterly Report submitted to AOM), which are available at the Members Corner for access by Members, will be simplified with effect from 2016/17. Besides, the report on Finance KPIs will also be refined. A summary of changes is given in Annex 5. The third edition of the Guidebook on KPIs will be published in 2016/17, covering the latest revision mentioned above. Decision Sought 14. Members are invited to comment on and endorse the proposed changes recommended by the Working Group as detailed in paragraphs 7 to 12 and the revised list of clinical services KPI in Annex 4; and note the direction on KPI development as described in paragraph 13.
