5 What is quality? Interpersonal relations Effectiveness Technical performance Knowledge Safety Choice Reliability QUALITY Comfort Physical infrastructure Consistency Continuity Access to services Efficiency Commitment Doing the right thing, right, the first time. Doing it better the next time, within the available resources, and to the satisfaction of the community. - ODI Consulting 5
6 Quality assurance vs. quality improvement CQI QUALITY ASSURANCE Full cycle of activities and systems for maintaining the quality of patient care. Generally associated with the monitoring of compliance with standards. ACT STUDY PLAN DO EQA SIMS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT The combined and unceasing efforts of everyone healthcare professionals, patients and their families, researchers, payers, planners and educators to make the changes that will lead to better patient outcomes (health), better system performance (care) and better professional development 6
7 Purpose of QA and QI support to VMMC programs Describe existing VMMC delivery services or practices Use the findings to determine sites eligible for the various types of intervention (intense, light, annual support) Guide the development and support the implementation of appropriate quality improvement actions Build the capacity of managers and staff to continuously improve VMMC service quality Improve quality of services, patient safety and outcomes 7
8 External quality assessment (EQA) tools for VMMC A. SOPs, guidelines, policies B. Facilities, supplies and equipment C. Clinic record review D. Emergency management E. Adequacy of staffing F. Surgical equipment and procedures G. Communication to clients H. PrePex procedures I. Site utilization / Site efficiency (public health impact and efficiency) 8

10 VMMC EQA app Real-time collection and analysis of data Multiple inputs simultaneously off line and online capabilities Faster feedback to facilities for action planning Generation of various reports (EQA dashboard / Site utilization analysis) Faster generation of facility-level and country-level reports (3 weeks vs. 12 months) Generation of stand-alone SIMS reports for facilities that have been assessed 10
11 Continuous quality improvement (CQI) in VMMC service delivery Rapid testing of changes to improve care at the point of service delivery and ongoing measurement to assess performance Model for Improvement What are we trying to accomplish? How will we know that change is improvement? What changes can we make that will result in improvement? CQI led by site staff, often with coaching support from MOH and IP ACT PLAN Addresses all points of VMMC continuum of care to ensure high-quality care that is effective, responsive, and respectful STUDY DO Adapted from Associates in Process Improvement,
12 CQI approach applied to VMMC Comparison of performance against standards National policy, guidelines and standards WHO guidelines, adapted to local context Across 7 (8) program areas and 56 (60) standards Leadership and planning (South Africa) Management systems Supplies, equipment and environment (infrastructure) Registration, group education and IEC Individual counseling and HIV testing for VMMC clients Male circumcision surgical procedure Monitoring and evaluation Infection prevention & waste management 12
13 Steps in the VMMC CQI process Stakeholder engagement, select sites and identify coaches Local adaptation of tools and training for assessors Baseline assessment Sites form improvement teams CQI training, analysis of baseline findings, and development of action plans Sites test changes to improve quality and monitor indicators to evaluate effect of changes tested Sites re-assessed quarterly CQI coaching (monthly, quarterly or annually) and sharing of learning across sites 13

22 Government of Uganda commitment to VMMC safety and quality 22
23 Gaps identified in inter-agency External Quality Assessments (EQAs) in 2012 Most sites lacked guidelines, SOPs, job aids Staff performed procedure without formal VMMC training Sites were not recording VMMC services, adverse events and follow-up visits Clinical records, consent forms, adverse event forms difficult to locate at many sites Many sites had forms that did not contain all necessary data fields for required reporting and good clinical care; too many versions in use Incorrect informed consent process for minors General anesthesia (ketamine/diazepam) used for some routine VMMC clients Some sites not using weight-based local anesthesia dosing 23
24 24
25 25
26 26
27 PEPFAR recommendations Immediate attention to sites that were in violation of PEPFAR policy regarding: Use of general anesthesia Preparedness for emergency management Urgently instituted continuous quality improvement (CQI) in the program USAID ASSIST requested to provide technical assistance Support Ministry of Health (MoH) with setting up national systems to improve quality of VMMC 27
28 MOH leadership for VMMC quality improvement Convened stakeholders meeting Aligned WHO assessment tool to other MoH guidelines and policies and used it to assess sites Developed harmonized tools for recording client information and reporting: Individual client form/consent form Client card for capturing clinical record VMMC theater register Adverse events grading scale Reporting forms Reconstituted VMMC National Task Force and convened regular meetings Formed Safety Monitoring Team 28
29 USAID ASSIST support for CQI in Uganda Jointly with 10 implementing partners (IPs) and district health offices, supported: Conducting baseline assessments and ongoing reassessment of sites Forming QI teams to spearhead improvement Training service providers and IP staff in CQI Regular onsite joint coaching (monthly/quarterly) Presenting learning sessions Organizing exchange visits (between good and poor sites) Offering onsite training on use of harmonized tools Training regional and district CQI coaches 29
30 Example of CQI approach: Adverse events (AEs) ASSIST conducted a root cause analysis at 30 health facilities to identify gaps: Under reporting of AEs due to fear of being penalized by IPs Sites only reporting most severe AEs Lack of standardized reporting tools Teams thought management was adequate and thus no need to report Trained and supported facility teams on application of CQI to test changes to address the gaps Together with MoH developed and distributed tools to capture AE information 30
31 Tools to capture and grade AEs 31

33 Service delivery process changes tested by sites for quality management of AEs Orienting VMMC teams on grading of AEs Holding weekly meetings to review AEs Cross-checking clients understanding of AEs Informing clients during mobilization to come with tight-fitting underpants Reinforcing messages on wound care during follow-up visits Emphasizing the need for parents/guardians of minors to attend the education sessions on wound care Educating clients to cover the wound with a polythene bag during bathing (pre-packed polythene bag and tissue paper to give clients in post-operative area) Improving early detection of AEs through improved follow-up 33
34 Client follow-up and rate of AEs
35 Key steps in addressing AEs Address fears about reporting AEs Ensure that sites realize that AEs can happen to any team, regardless of skill level Establish a clear grading system and use tools for systematic, standardized identification of AEs Improve client counseling on AEs and wound care, including during mobilization (remind about need for tight-fitting underpants) Improve client follow-up post-circumcision, especially at 48 hours and seven days Analyze types of AEs to direct corrective actions Improved routine management of mild AEs prevents moderate and severe forms 35

40 Improving Efficiency through Site Utilization / Capacity Assessments Dr. James Ndirangu Regional Advisor for Southern Africa USAID ASSIST Project, University Research Co., LLC (URC) 40
41 Why measure site efficiency? Despite vast government and donor investments in VMMC programs, targets are not being met Measuring efficiency helps understand the sitelevel environment relating to: - Demand generation - Human resources/staffing - MMC saturation in the catchment population A more accurate and useful monitoring measure than number of circumcisions alone
42 Site efficiency measure The site efficiency measure is the number of circumcisions performed in a site day of operation This will be measured in a monthly increment The formula for number of VMMCs done at a site per day Sites will be judged efficient or inefficient by comparing the efficiency measure to efficiency benchmarks
43 Efficiency benchmarks Efficiency benchmarks are set by the volume of the site Comparison of site efficiency can be performed by province/region, by provider (private/public), by implementing partner, or by the type of site (fixed/mobile/outreach)
44 Site capacity analysis tool (I) Tool gathers information on: Site characteristics Site investment
45 Site capacity analysis tool (II) Tool gathers information on: Site performance (last 12 months) Site productivity
46 Findings: Retrospective VMMC site-level capacity analysis Country No of Sites Site Productivity Index Site Performance Below Capacity Site Performance Above Capacity Mozambique 8 8 (100%) Nil Swaziland (88.8%) 13 (11.2%) Tanzania (100%) Nil Lesotho (86.8%) 17 (13.3%)

50 Integrating efficiency measures in routine program monitoring To incorporate efficiency measures into routine data monitoring, programs may need to add additional elements, such as: Number of days a site is in operation in a month Classification of whether the site is low, medium, or high volume (monthly) Documentation of number of beds, number of surgeons, etc. Mode of service delivery (fixed, outreach, mobile) Whether a site is private or public Whether the site is dedicated VMMC or integrated
51 Lessons learned Site efficiency proved easy to calculate (when data elements are in place) Causes of variation in site performances need to be explored. Are there challenges with: - Demand generation? - Human resources/staffing? - MMC saturation in the catchment population? CQI is needed to gain deeper understanding as to why the majority of sites are operating below capacity, develop site action plans, and better match the demand and supply of VMMC services.
