       Presentation to HISI Thur Nov 17th 2011
Background


   A review of theatre activity in 2008 in all HSE hospitals in
    Cork and Kerry was conducted under the Reconfiguration of
    Health Services.

   Theatre logbooks or registers varied from place to place

   All were manually entered, paper based systems

   Computer systems existed, they did so in parallel with paper
    based systems

   Similar but not standardised data

                                                                   2
Key Data Management Recommendation:




A standardised computerised theatre logbook

     system developed in all hospitals.




        HSE Performance Report February 2009 (2nd April 2009); page 32




                                                                         3
Extracting data for THEATRE review, audit
or service planning is extremely difficult


o time consuming


o labour intensive


o inefficient


o expensive


o a major logistical challenge

                                             4
o security concerns
Project Purpose

o Requirement for high quality information.

o The HSE needs to be able to source, analyse and
interpret routine data to inform key decisions.

o Standardised and computerised theatre registers will
facilitate quality assurance, performance monitoring, audit,
look-back and research.

o We cant keep manually counting and re-counting log
book entries for patient recalls/reviews


                                                               5
The advantages of an electronic logbook:




 More efficient data access


 Higher data quality


 Increased ability to conduct quality improvement
and clinical research activities.



                                                     6
Scope
Establishment of Computerised Minimum
Dataset (CMD) Group

The scope of this project was as follows:

1) Minimum Dataset (MDS):
o   Agree MDS
o   Develop data dictionary

2) Computerisation:
o   Identify what computer systems are currently in use in
    hospitals and theatres relevant to computerising theatre
    registers.


                                                               7

  the same core data collected via IPMS is at the
  centre of both projects.

  Only 29 facilities were using the same definitions.
  The report states that

  establishing common data definitions was
  essential to ensure comparability of activity
  data..

  A revised MDS be mandated across NSW Health

It is our recommendation that ..

 All Acute Hospitals computerise the theatre register

 Where available IPMS be used as the system to achieve automation
       Where other IT systems are employed, the same core MDS is collected

 TPOT review the minimum dataset and data dictionary agreed by
  this group with a view to national adoption.

 TPOT review the extra key data items recommended by this group
and consider what other items will be required for performance
monitoring in the future

 TPOT liaise with the HSE National iSoft Liaison link to negotiate a
consistent coordinated approach to IT development in Theatres and
minimise the costs involved
