“The NQB guidance requires that all inpatient, outpatient and community patient deaths of people with severe mental illness (SMI) should be subject to case record review.”
“Through our well led inspections we have seen trusts that have made positive changes to ensure that learning from deaths is given the priority it deserves… However, the speed of progress varies, and our review indicates that problems with the culture of some organisations is preventing sufficient progress… We will continue to assess the progress trusts are making through our inspection and monitoring and to hold trusts to account when we find improvements are required… Alongside this, there needs to be continued support from the centre, including support for behaviours that encourage more openness and learning across the NHS, clearer guidance for community and mental health trusts, and a more focused consideration of the progress being made on reviews and investigations of deaths of people with mental health problems or a learning disability which was highlighted as a priority in our original thematic review.”
This conference focuses on Improving the Quality & Learning from Investigation of Deaths & Serious Incidents in Mental Health Services. Through national updates, practical case studies and extended sessions, the conference will provide a step by step guide to high quality investigation and learning from deaths of people who received care from their mental health service. The conference will also look at effective implementation of the November 2018 National Mortality Care Review Tool developed by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. “The Care Review Tool is suitable for supporting mortality reviews for patients who were under the care of mental health Trusts and it can be adapted for use by joint mental health and community Trusts… The tool allows explicit judgements around a patient’s care to be made, with a score given for each phase of care. The aim of this tool is to make it possible for Trusts to screen all deaths of patients in contact with mental health services and, through thematic analysis of a number of completed forms, to: 1. Determine areas of good care that can be recognised and further developed 2. Recognise areas where care can be improved” Royal College of Psychiatrists November 2018
