Subject: Chief Executive’s Report
1. INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS
Recently we had our 3 yearly visit by the independent Audit Agency to assess the quality and risk management systems for our DHB. I want to acknowledge the huge effort by many teams in preparing for the audit, especially the Clinical Governance support team. The nine auditors, as well as a number of trainees, spent a week in our organisation travelling across the district visiting wards, inpatient units, disability services and community teams. They visited at a time when our hospital world was incredibly busy, with occupancy every day in Nelson at 100% or more. The Auditors at the end of the week provided some overall comments on their visit. The most important message they gave was that “patients were getting good care and are safe”. They identified a number of areas where we can improve – like improving our documentation, handovers, and discharge processes, and making sure we meet the appropriate privacy requirements. Perhaps one of the most pleasing messages they gave was the “staff at all times were seen to act in a friendly, respectful and professional manner – firstly towards patients, and also to fellow staff”. We should be extremely proud of our care teams in the way they deliver care from day to day, often in the midst of significant demand and busyness.
2. PRIMARY & COMMUNITY
Patient Story: Complex medical patient requiring hospital level care in the community; a great success story:
Mr F had already spent 17 days in hospital with a diagnosis of prosthetic valve infective endocarditis. This diagnosis meant he was going to require 6 weeks of intensive double IV antibiotics. The type of antibiotics and the treatment regime required has not previously been managed in the Nelson community. Previously, a patient with this treatment plan would have been managed in the hospital. Gentamycin needs to be very closely monitored with regular blood tests to ensure renal function is not deteriorating. The following is an excerpt from the infectious diseases specialist’s first email to the District Nursing Service:
“He is a pretty robust 78yr old with prosthetic valve infective endocarditis – the most difficult to cure. This will be a tough man to look after due to the complexity of treatment – but will be worth the effort.”
A lot of time was spent planning how the District Nursing Service could manage this man’s care in the community as he is based rurally. He required daily visits for:
IV infusion of Gentamycin over 30mins via a PICC line.
Connection of an IV infuser of Penicillin which runs for 24hrs.
Status This report contains: For decision Update Regular report
For information
Chief Executive’s Report 4-2
Blood tests 3 times weekly via PICC line, taken by District Nurse.
Further bloods tests for Gentamycin peak and trough levels twice in a day on Fridays.
Daily assessment of his condition, monitoring symptoms and risk level. Daily visits took between 1-1.5 hours. Plans were put in place for shared care with the Wakefield District Nurses and Richmond Clinic nurses. He would come into clinic for the days he required his blood tests and have his antibiotics administered at the same time. It has taken a lot of co-ordination and planning of care.
Mr F’s treatment is now complete and it has been extremely successful. For Mr F it has made a huge difference to his quality of life and health outcomes by being able to have his treatment at home. It has saved a bed in the hospital for 6 weeks. The interdisciplinary care and communication between the infectious diseases specialists, district nurses and pharmacy has been seamless.
This is a great example of how complex hospital level care can be delivered in the community by expert district nurses. The skills, knowledge and ability to practice autonomously has had a huge impact on this patient’s journey.
The inter-agency liaison and collaboration between NMH, NBPH and MPHO has been very successful in assisting the distribution of adequate numbers of MMR vaccines around all primary care practices, and ensuring adequate stock. This has been essential to keep to our target of achieving all scheduled MMR vaccinations at 15 months and at 4 years of age. Liaison has occurred with the NMH Communications Team around poster advertising messages for ED and practices. All primary schools, early childhood education centres and Kohanga Reo have received a Measles Advisory from the Medical Officer of Health.
The official opening of the Seddon water treatment plant was attended by invited guests including Mayor, Member of Parliament, Council engineering staff, Seddon Water User Group, consultants and drinking water staff from NMH.
Nelson Marlborough Health had the best adolescent oral health enrolment and utilisation results in New Zealand in 2018 with the latest interim results at 80% compared to 67.5% nationally.
In March we received a total of 64 referrals to the Stop Smoking Service (24 from Marlborough and 40 from Nelson). Of the 64 referrals two were Pēpi First. New clinics have started in Victory Community Centre and the Motueka Community House. Visibility at the community centres has led to new referrals.
The Individualised Placement Support pilot in Blenheim is progressing well. This pilot sees two employment specialists employed by Te Ara Mahi co-located and integrated with the Witherlea Mental Health teams.
NMH, Nelson Bays Primary Health two general practices in Motueka are exploring a 6 month pilot for mental health and addiction treatment in general practice, similar to the Procare pilot currently underway.

3. MENTAL HEALTH & ADDICTIONS AND DSS 3.1 Audit Teams
Two audit teams visited several DSS homes, Wahi Oranga and Alexander Hospital. Another separate audit team visited the Addictions Service. The Auditors found DSS very welcoming and helpful. They noted that we demonstrated our commitment to, and knowledge of, the needs of the people we support very well. In Mental Health services they commented that we demonstrated a very collaborative model, had good MDT processes and have a person centred, recovery journey focus. OST (Opioid Substitution Treatment) services also received positive feedback. The Auditors made the observation that we have a good team who are supportive of each other, and are recovery oriented. It was great to have the audit teams recognise the compassion and great work our staff do every day to support people.
Chief Executive’s Report 4-5
3.2 Emergency Response
Ongoing support via Nelson Bays Primary Health is being provided to people affected by the fires. The navigators continue to accept a small stream of referrals for support.
3.3 Top of the South Impact Forum
The workstreams are progressing well:
Family Safety – FVIARS meeting, attended by community MH Social Worker, is working well. Whangaia Nga Pa Harakeke model discussed at management support group meeting.
Youth – Hui were held this month and feedback will be prepared at the next Impact Forum.
Reducing Harm Caused by Methamphetamine – o Contract drafted to bring in an expert to adapt the MATRIX meth treatment
programme for NZ and to begin a programme in Nelson. Our focus needs to be to develop a programme which also services people living in remote areas.
o Police and Health are developing a joint education programme to upskill our wider workforce on meth, how to respond when use is disclosed, and where people can go to for help.
Housing – o The complex case model still appears to be working as intended with agencies
contacting each other about specific individuals to determine best solutions. o The group has agreed on a new stream of work which will look at addressing
‘affordability’. This stream addresses those households that have low income. 3.4 Older Persons (Alexandra Hospital)
Bed utilisation at 90% leading to increased opportunities to restore a therapeutic environment. Acuity manageable, however several patients requiring high input due to risk of falls and aggression.

5. CLINICAL SERVICES
The high demand for acute care to our NMH community is having an impact on our ability to deliver elective care. On top, elective delivery has been further disrupted by the number of industrial action events that have occurred this year. The time taken to plan and then safely deliver care through each industrial action period has had a significant impact on the workload of the operational and service management teams. Our hospital team remains responsive to the acute patient demands and for 16 days during March we opened our Day Surgery Unit overnight to ensure we had enough beds to accommodate our acute patients.
Our ability to ensure timely care for our patients requiring admission from ED remains a challenge, however all patients discharged directly from ED met the 95% target. The minutes our ‘to be admitted’ patients are spending within the ED environment is increasing. A number of hospital flow projects are being considered across the district to enable a pull from ED as although the MAPU unit is welcomed, it will not alleviate all of the issues all of the time.
Nelson occupancy was 93% adult inpatient for March, and Wairau occupancy 76% adult inpatient.
Chief Executive’s Report 4-9
An ESPI recovery plan for all services not meeting the timeliness of care to patients target has been developed and signed off with Service Managers and HODs. This is causing a significant amount of discussion internally as staff grapple with the challenge of delivering services within the capacity available. NMH has received a letter from the Ministry of Health giving us dispensation regarding ESPI performance until the end October 2019.
5.1 Health Targets
Year to date, as at the end of March 2019, 4,528 discharges were completed against a plan of 4,973 (91%). This is under plan by 445 discharges. Acute case weighted discharges (CWD) for March were 1,409 against a plan of 1,183 (119%):
ENT 120% YTD end March
General Surgery 107% YTD end March
Orthopaedics 134% YTD end March
Urology 118% YTD end March
Vascular 296% YTD end March. The higher levels of acutes year to date as at March in these specialities is having an impact on being able to meet the expected elective and health target discharges, particularly in orthopaedics where we are delivering 90% YTD March. Year to date delivery for orthopaedic interventions is 366 joints against a total year plan of 394. This is under plan by 28.

Chief Executive’s Report 4-14
6. NURSING
The certification process was completed early April and we await the final report. The feedback for staff was excellent with an acknowledgement of the significant pressure they work under on what seems like a daily basis. Despite the challenges this presents, our staff continue to deliver excellent care, they are engaged with their patients, they are welcoming and interested, and wanting to be involved in change. The culture was also commented on as having changed dramatically from the previous visit with the hospital having a good vibe. The auditing group thanked the teams for the great experience they had while being here.
CCDM work is continuing at a rapid speed with all workstreams now underway. The governance site visit is scheduled for 24 May, and planning is underway for the programme for the day.
Professor Brian Dolan OBE, Director of Service Improvement from Canterbury DHB presented at workshops held on 13 and 14 March. The topics of discussion included Leadership for Change, Building Resilience, CNM/CMM – Your Role as a Nursing/Midwifery Leader, Patient Flow, Capacity and Demand, Different Ways of Working. The event was very successful and showed the benefit of interdisciplinary workshops for sharing work experience and learnings. A further two day workshop is planned for August.
Development of a Mental Health Assessment ED pathway and guideline has been completed and is awaiting final review.
7. ALLIED HEALTH
The district wide Pastoral Care Team / Chaplaincy team have continued to support patients and whānau across the hospital and community services. They also have a key role supporting staff after the tragic events in Christchurch, and specific local events have seen pastoral care being increasingly visible. Of note, in March a total of 1,205 contacts occurred, and of these 193 were with staff.
At the request of Canterbury DHB, NMH Social Workers have been supporting our Christchurch colleagues. A number of social workers from both physical and mental health have been working at Christchurch Hospital. This has been a significant team effort and a regional response.
The Executive Leadership Team has supported the three areas of focus that the Staff Engagement: Working Together group recommended (Healthy Teams, Workforce Aggression and Musculoskeletal Injuries).
The NMH Falls Alliance continues to be a system approach to falls prevention in the older population. A recent participant in the in-home programme commented as follows:
“Before the programme I stopped driving as I wasn’t confident I could get in and
out of my car and that I could walk any distance. Now after completing the
programme I feel more confident, and confident that I can get in and out if my car,
so I’m back driving!”
A visually impaired participant has also improved in her confidence and is now not reliant on her daughter taking her places as she can go in a taxi and is less socially isolated and is back playing bowls.

8. MĀORI HEALTH 8.1 Advance Care Directives Project (Nga Whakaaro Pono)
The Advance Care Directives is one of the latest Te Waka Hauora projects and seeks to integrate, in the first instance, the option of Advance Care Directives which are in video form for tangatawhaiora/clients in the area of Mental Health & Addictions.
8.2 Hauora Direct Integration
Wairau Community Clinic and Omaka Medical are both currently piloting the Hauora Direct assessment tool with whānau within their practices.
8.3 Hapū Wānanga
The Hapū Wānanga programme covers all of the key health priority areas that you would expect to see in a mainstream programme, but does it in a kaupapa Maori way. Points of interest the five Hapū Wānanga Te Waka Hauora have facilitated to date include:
High rate of NZ Māori attendance
Lower number of first-time mothers (primips) attending
100% completion rate. The 2-day format may support completion compared to other PPE (Pregnancy & Parenting Education) that are often held over successive weeks.
8.4 Bowel Screening Programme
The Bowel Screening Roadshow activities continue to target our priority populations across Te Tau Ihu. The Bowel Screening Team is visiting with organisations and communities to promote the programme, provide information and answer questions from whānau. In the last month, Te Piki Oranga Motueka have received training regarding the programme and delivery of the outreach service. In addition to this we have delivered a session in the Wairau community to a Pacific men’s fono and to the Sit and Be Fit Class run by TPO in Wairau and Waikawa.
9. CLINICAL GOVERNANCE 9.1 Service User Complaints
We received 40 new complaints in March compared to 52 the previous month. Thirty-one complaints were closed, and 74 complaints remain open and active.
10. PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS
To date we are at 54.7% of staff with a current appraisal.
