Description

The Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) is seeking to commission an organisation that will support the delivery of the Maternal, Newborn and Infant Clinical Outcome Review Programme. The programme will initially be delivered for NHS-funded care in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man.

Total Quantity or Scope

Clinical Outcome Review Programmes (previously known as confidential enquiries) are designed to help assess the quality of healthcare, and stimulate improvement in safety and effectiveness by systematically enabling clinicians, managers and policy makers to learn from adverse events and other relevant data. The programmes aim to complement and contribute to the work of other agencies such as National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the Royal Colleges and academic research studies with the aim of supporting changes that can help improve the quality and safety of healthcare delivery. Clinical outcome review programmes are expected to: a. Assess the quality and safety of health services b. Better understanding and reporting on the causal pathways to serious morbidity and death, so as to identify remedial factors and routes to prevention c. Support improvements in service quality through local and national learning d. Produce evidence-based recommendations and good practice points e. Influence clinical practice, commissioning, service provision, policy and education by helping understand opportunities to improve outcomes for patients f. Achieve and maintain close alignment with relevant national guidelines and quality standards throughout the programme, as appropriate g. Ensure robust methodological and statistical input at all stages h. Identify from the outset the full range of audiences for the reports and other programme outputs, and plan and tailor them accordingly i. Utilise strong and effective project and programme management to deliver programme outputs on time and within budget j. Develop and maintain strong engagement with local clinicians, networks, commissioners, parents and their families and carers and charity and community support groups in order to drive improvements in services
