CORPORATE REPORT Performance against key targets
Business Plan Review 2014/15 Performance against Key Targets The Commission has five key performance indicators (KPIs) agreed with the Scottish Government. Performance against each of these KPIs is noted below. a) Visit at least 1,900 individual services users b) Complete 30 visits in the unannounced format Most of our visits involved interviewing individuals receiving care and treatment. Sometimes, we were not able to interview the individual, but we still reviewed their case files. Type of visit Target Individuals visited File review Total Visits to individuals subject to AWI powers 650 552 0 552 0 371 Individuals seen as part of themed visits Acute enhanced observation Individuals in the community s25-s27 Older people acute admission Individuals seen as part of local visits 450* 371 189 52 130 650 775 155 930 Individuals subject to MHA powers Individuals subject to AWI powers Individuals subject to CPSA powers Individuals that were informal Individuals, no report completed Other individual visits 229 61 106 190 189 0 71 74 18 18 46 18 89 (Young people, cross border transfer and MWC initiated) Individuals subject to MHA powers Individuals subject to AWI powers Individuals subject to CPSA powers Individuals that were informal 33 4 7 27 150 152 13 0 2 3 0 152 Individuals seen as part of monitoring visits SUS 49 CCTO 103 TOTALS 1900 1921 173 2094 *Initially older people acute was 200, this was then dropped to 100. So the themed target became 350 and we increased the number of local visits. 1
In total we have reviewed the care and treatment of 2,094 individuals. We met with 32 advocacy workers and 77 relatives/carers during our themed and local visits. We completed 121 local visits, with 30 of these undertaken in an unannounced format (25%) We will produce statistics and analysis on the use of mental health and incapacity legislation on time, within six months of the end of the year The reports were posted on the website on 9 th October 2014. The slight delay in posting was to allow us to promote the reports nationally in the media. We will complete and publish four investigation reports by the end of March 2015 During the year we progressed 21 investigations, 12 of which were new. Of these one was published on the website. We remitted eight cases back to local services after initial investigation. In these cases, we expressed concerns and made recommendations to service managers for further internal investigation. In one instance, we looked at the review carried out by local services following which we were satisfied with the outcome. In two cases we were satisfied that there was no deficiency of care. We are continuing to investigate a further nine cases. Although we did not meet our KPI for this year, we completed other work on the investigations guidelines and with other organisations on agreeing a process to identify a lead organisation for investigations. The Board has revised the KPI for 2015/16 to state that we will publish at least two investigations. We will assess samples of our telephone advice and aim for at least 97.5% of all our advice to be accurate During the year there were 5,143 (13/14 4,834) calls allocated to Duty Practitioners as requests for advice. When we audited calls this year, we found that around 10% (12%) of these resulted in information being recorded but no advice being requested or given. We therefore estimate the approximate number of calls requesting advice at around 4,629 (4,254). This year we reduced the number of calls audited by half. accommodate a management audit of visits activity. This was done to 2
We audited 205 calls, which is 4.5% of the total requests for advice allocated to duty practitioners. Number of items of advice examined 205 Accurate items of advice 204 (Of which we thought we could have added to the advice given in 10 (5%) cases) Inaccurate items of advice 1 (0.5%) % accuracy 99.5% Target for accuracy 97.5% We have therefore performed better than our target of 97.5%. We will publicly report, within the agreed timescales, the outcome of the recommendations we make to services in 90% of cases Our focussed visits to individuals allow us to make specific recommendations to services. We made 409 recommendations following 125 focussed visits conducted during 1 st January 2014 and 31 st December 2014. Note that this is not the same as the number of visits reported during the year 1 st April 2014 to 31 st March 2015 as we allow a 3 month response window from services. a) We were satisfied that services had responded fully to 405 (99.6%) of recommendations. b) We have not yet received responses to two (0.4%) recommendations although we have been in contact with service managers to request this information. Responses were due by 31 st March 2015 and we will take further action in 2015/16. c) We escalated four recommendations (1%), relating to one service as we were not satisfied with the service response. This resulted in a follow up visit and a meeting with the Chief Executive of the Board. d) We have therefore ensured that we followed up all recommendations for which response were due between 1 st April 2014 and 31 st March 2015. We have therefore exceeded the performance indicator of 90% by undertaking follow-up action on 99.66% of our recommendations. The fact that these have been fully implemented or resulted in significant service progress demonstrates our effectiveness in influencing service improvements through a targeted, risk based programme of local visits. 3
