Setting the Standard: Best Practice for the Assessment and Management of Acute and Chronic Pain- (Sydney NSW)

21 November - 21 November 2011
Sydney, NSW, Australia

Program PDF


The Masterclass is targeted at clinicians who have an interest / basic understanding of pain management. It is also suitable for people currently working in pain management especially for the more junior / less experienced members of the team. The course will explore the differing treatment approaches for acute and chronic pain and best practice strategies, and in this context will obviously consider the biopsychosocial approaches required to effectively manage pain. It will also consider the importance of assessing behavioural and psychological factors, particularly in certain groups of patients that are at higher risk (e.g. those being considered for strong opioids or those with substance misuse issues). However, there is a particular focus on the use of adjuvant analgesia for neuropathic and complex pain conditions, strong opioids for chronic benign pain and also advanced techniques such as neuromodulation. 

 

Master Class Objectives:

 Explore the differences between acute and chronic pain and the treatment approaches used
*  Describe best practice strategies for the management of acute and chronic pain
*  Learn how to use adjuvant analgesics for the management of neuropathic pain and complex pain syndromes
 Explore best practice recommendations for the use of strong opioids in chronic benign pain
*  Learn strategies for assessing and managing pain in patients with substance misuse issues
*  Develop an increased awareness of the use of advanced techniques

Leading Lean in Healthcare - Lean Basics for Managers

17 November - 17 November 2011
Brisbane, QLD, Australia

Program PDF


Learning Objectives / Outcomes:
Background:
In this course the key techniques, philosophies, and management system that comprise a lean approach in healthcare will be discussed. Successful lean healthcare efforts result in measurable improvements in patient outcomes: improved quality, less harm due to preventable errors, better access, shorter waiting times, and better service. These benefits come from creating "win-win-win" solutions that improve the work life for medical providers and hospital staff, improve processes to prevent systemic errors, and reduce waste so that hospital personnel can spend more time on and focus more on patient care. The hospital or healthcare organization benefits in a long-term perspective due to reduced capital costs and operational expenditures, growth opportunities created by freed-up capacity, and an improved reputation that results from better quality and service.
Course Outline:
• Where does "lean" come from?
o Be able to articulate, for your healthcare colleagues, where the term "lean" and the core concepts come from
o How does a methodology with roots in the automotive industry possibly apply to healthcare?
o How would we measure success with our lean efforts?
o Examples and results from the world's leading lean hospitals
• Learn lean thinking concepts:
o Defining "value" from a customer and patient perspective
o Identifying "waste" and non-value-added activity
o Indentifying and improving "value-streams"
o Creating better "flow" for patients and processes
o Preventing errors and improving quality in a systematic way
o Engaging employees in continuous improvement
o Creating a "no-blame" improvement culture
o Measurement for continuous improvement (improvement rate more important than outcome
o How to identify and prioritize lean activities?
• Overview of commonly used methods, with real healthcare examples:
o Value-Stream Mapping
o Work and Process Observation
o Standardized Work and Checklists
o Visual Management
o Layered Audits
o Error Proofing
o Kanban and Materials Management
o A3 Communication and Problem Solving

Audience:
• Healthcare middle and senior managers, project managers, front-line clinical or professional staff, physicians, and senior leaders who want an understanding of the total scope of implementing lean in a healthcare setting
• Individuals or teams with little to moderate experience and exposure to lean who are looking to increase their understanding;
• Cross-functional and cross-level teams are encouraged to attend together.


 

Lean Facilities (Re)Design for Health Care

16 November - 16 November 2011
Melbourne, VIC, Australia

Program PDF


Learning Objectives / Outcomes:
Background:
This course covers the principles and techniques needed to improve the layout of any workplace, from the entire facility layout, to value stream improvements, right down to improvements in the value field (where the work is done). People working with existing facilities will be able to plan large and small changes, and will be able to measure the impact of all layout changes (sometimes small changes result in big gains!). New facilities will be able to be planned with a working knowledge of Lean Thinking for facility design. A lean facility layout or workplace design achieves greater efficiency by exploiting the advantages of reduced motion, transportation, inventory, and extra processing built into the workplace. Setups and changeover times are reduced, errors and defects are less frequent, and staff have more time for value added activities, resulting in shorter waiting times and better service.
Course Structure: The course will be broken up between lecture, case studies, example layout improvements, and exercises. "Generic" layouts will be provided for the exercises, but participants are encouraged to bring several copies of their own workplace layouts to work on instead.
Topics Covered in the Course:
• Twenty-six lean facilities design criteria
o Examples of application for new and existing facilities
• Four levels of workplace design
o Facility Wide
o Value Streams
o Teams
o Value Field
• Creating work cells
o "Cardboard Kaizen" methodology for layout improvement
• Improving storage in new and existing facilities
o How supply systems influence storage
o Improving density in storage
o 5S for shared workspaces / storerooms
• The eight wastes in workplace / workstation layout
• Identifying "spatially gifted" staff members to aid in design
• Paper dolls and spaghetti diagrams for lean design
• Six "ates" of visual management for workplaces

Master Class: The Lean Operating Theatre - Adelaide, SA

6 July - 6 July 2011
Adelaide, SA, Australia

Program PDF


One day Lean Operating Theatre Master Class with Sean Lewis

After spending years learning about Lean in other industries, Sean Lewis recognized the need for applying Lean Improvement Systems in healthcare in 2004 and has been focusing on health care improvement ever since.  He has worked with dozens of OR’s and surgery centers and trained hundreds of people in Lean.

Participants will learn about the Lean systems needed to create a Lean Operating Theatre:

·         Systems for organizing and visually managing supplies and instruments

·         How to create a standardized surgeon “preference card” system linked directly into the inventory management system for quick put away and retrieval – with no costly software system needed!

·         How the techniques of “Quick Changeover” will transform the way changeovers happen

·         How the system of poka-yoke (error proofing) can improve quality and reduce time spent on count-in / count-out

·         How to identify waste in systems and processes and systematically eliminate it with full support from staff, management, and SURGEONS.

Real examples and case studies from multiple theatres in the US and Australia will be discussed, numerous exercises will make the concepts solid, and participants will create an action plan to get started with Lean in their own OR.

 Philippa Robinson was the Department of Health’s National Implementation Director, responsible for the successful implementation of the 18week elective care referral to treatment programme.   This large scale transformation programme involved all parts of the health economy and professional groups, and has removed waiting as an issue for patients in England. The approach improved the quality and safety of elective services, with measurable improvements in patient experience.  Philippa has had a broad ranging career in the NHS, starting as a nurse, midwife and Health Visitor, and including executive posts in service improvement: acute, community and primary care commissioning, and she was also a Primary Care Group Chief Executive.  Her key skills lie in leading and mobilising large scale change initiatives.  Philippa is now working independently on a range of leadership and change programmes in the UK and internationally, including Clinical Leaders Network: Modernising Scientific Careers Early Adopters Programme: NHS Direct Clinical Engagement Project: NHS Elect Aspiring Directors Programme, and Midwifery Development Programmes in two SHAs. She is an executive coach to a number of clinicians, managers and executives in the NHS and DH. 

Robin Davis currently works with the National Intensive Support Team for England, directly supporting several NHS organisations to deliver key operational targets and improve patient services.  He works closely with both executive and clinical teams on service improvement and performance management issues advising on priority areas and developing improvement strategies.  Robin previously led a national improvement project at the Department of Health supporting the NHS to transform services for patients with musculoskeletal conditions.  Robin is an accomplished facilitator and enjoys the challenge of working with clinical teams to bring about improvements for patients.  Key interests include, the application of lean principles to health care systems, managing systems to meet variations in demand and using the system levers to drive improvement.

Master Class: Improving adherence with medication in psychiatric practice

1 March - 1 March 2011
East Circular Quay, Sydney, NSW, Australia

Program PDF


Your Facilitator
Carol Paton
is Chief Pharmacist at Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust in South-East London, joint head of the Prescribing Observatory for Mental Health (POMH-UK) and an editor of both the Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines, and Psychiatric Intensive Care. She is a past member of the executive committee of the National association of Psychiatric Intensive Care Units (NAPICU) and has contributed to the development of several NICE guidelines. Carol has a long-standing interest in the quality of medicines use in psychiatry.

Background
Non-adherence to prescribed medicines is common, and within psychiatric settings is a major cause of relapse and re-hospitalisation. There are many barriers to adherence, some of which are more easily remediable than others. Giving information in a way that is meaningful to the patient, offering choice where possible and actively managing side effects help to build a good therapeutic relationship and form the foundation from which other factors that influence adherence can be modified. Managing medicines in this way requires the support of psychiatrists, pharmacists, nurses, and indeed all staff who have clinical contact with the patient. The variable knowledge base, confidence in dealing with issues around medication, and perceived job role of different clinical staff make this challenging. Making up to date and easy to use resources available to all clinical staff, supports best clinical practice across the whole care pathway and the whole healthcare organisation.

Objectives/outcomes

To:
• increase understanding of barriers to medication adherence
• consider how strategies to overcome these barriers can be incorporated into routine clinical practice
• consider how IT systems can support strategies to improve adherence
• increase the confidence of the multi-disciplinary team in managing medicines

Profile of attendees
Ideally a multi-disciplinary group including psychiatrists, pharmacists and nurses with an interest in managing medicines.

Duration: 4 hrs commencing promptly at  9.00-13.00

Master Class: Responding to the Behavioural Symptoms of Dementia during Personal Care Activities

19 November - 19 November 2010
Melbourne, VIC, Australia

Program PDF


Ms Robyn Attoe, Lecturer in Behavioural and Psychological Symptom Management, RPN, Academic Unit for Psychiatry of Old Age, The University of Melbourne

 Ms Alissa Westphal, Lecturer in Dementia Care, Accredited OT, Academic Unit for Psychiatry of Old Age, The University of Melbourne  
Master Class Outline
Personal care activities such as showering, dressing and toileting are the primary triggers for behavioural symptoms of dementia (BPSD). These symptoms which include physical, verbal aggression and resistiveness place significant stress on caregivers who endeavour to meet the person’s care needs. The International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA) suggest that non pharmacological interventions for the management of BPSD should be the frontline treatment. However, many Doctors, Nurses, Allied Health, and Care staff have no formal training in this area, nor are they aware of how to implement such treatments in a person-centred framework to reduce BPSD in the care setting. Understanding, assessing and effectively responding to these behaviours is necessary in order to reduce the often negative impact these symptoms have on the person with dementia and those
providing care.
Master Class Objectives:
o    Provide attendees with a comprehensive framework for assessing, understanding and responding to BPSD during ADLs using non-pharmacological strategies
o    Further develop practical skills in developing and implementing person-focussed strategies to assist in the management of behavioural symptoms of dementia during ADL’s, including the use of activities and environmental changes.
o    Enhance attendee’s confidence in selecting, utilising and suggesting non-pharmacological            interventions for behavioural symptoms during ADL’s
o    Build attendees practical knowledge in developing, implementing and evaluating individualised plans to manage BPSD non-pharmacologically during ADL’s
Method of learning
Interactive learning methods, small group work, role plays, case examples and practical exercises will be used to explore and illustrate the material discussed. Opportunities will be provided for networking with other attendees through sharing and discussing case studies, experiences and outcomes of strategies implemented. Examples of non-pharmacological interventions and activities will be available for participant interaction during the workshop.
Attendees will be invited to participate in teleconferences with other participants during the 3 months following the workshop. These teleconferences will be facilitated by the trainers and provide an opportunity for attendees to share successes and problem solve difficulties that have experienced in using the workshop material within their workplace.

Master Class: Responding to the Behavioural Symptoms of Dementia during Personal Care Activities

28 April - 28 April 2010
Sydney, NSW, Australia

Robyn Attoe, Lecturer in Behavioural and Psychological Symptom Management, RPN, Academic Unit for Psychiatry of Old Age, The University of Melbourne, VIC

Alissa Westphal, Lecturer in Dementia Care, OT, Academic Unit for Psychiatry of Old Age, The University of Melbourne, VIC

Personal care activities such as showering, dressing and toileting are the primary triggers for behavioural symptoms of dementia. The presence of these symptoms which include physical and verbal aggression and resistiveness place significant stress on caregivers who endeavour to meet the persons care needs. Understanding and effectively responding to these behaviours can be challenging for caregivers.

This workshop provides an overview of the assessment and management processes involved in understanding and responding to behavioural symptoms during personal care activities. Interactive learning methods, small group work and practice exercises will be used to explore and enhance the practical material discussed. Opportunities will be provided for networking with other attendees through sharing and discussing case studies, experiences and outcomes of strategies implemented.
