CLINICAL LEadership We understand the importance of clinicians being at the forefront of decision making, and encourage the input of our valued staff. Clinical Board The DHB Clinical Board led by local clinicians has been operating since June 2009. Its role includes ensuring the DHB has appropriate systems in place for good quality clinical practice. It also aims to promote collaborative clinical projects between the primary and secondary sectors, and provides advice to the DHB on clinical governance issues. The Clinical Board released a policy on Open Communications/Disclosure in 2011 as part of service improvement. The policy covers points on what to do when an adverse event happens to a patient. Clinical Ethics Advisory Group The establishment of a Clinical Ethics Advisory Group is important for the DHB. The group acts as a support team for clinicians who come across ethical issues in clinical practice and patient care. The group provides advice to staff, has an ethics input into DHB policies and facilitates ethics education for health professionals within the DHB. Staff and the Clinical Board have recognised the benefits that this initiative will bring to the DHB. The Clinical Board also value input from community members and so has recently appointed two consumer participants to its membership.
page 23 Medicines Reconciliation The early stages of a groundbreaking Medicines Reconciliation Project, which is set to reduce medication errors, improve efficiencies and provide safer transcribing has been well received by local doctors. The reconciliation programme supported by technology provides a more reliable link between the medication patients are taking when they come into hospital, what they take during their stay and what they leave hospital with. The programme will help hospital and GP staff all have up to date information. Work is part of a national pilot with Counties Manakau, Waitemata and Southern DHBs and the National Medication Safety Programme. Clinical Leadership Opportunities Approximately half of all individuals in leadership roles in the DHB are from a clinical background. The Mental Health and Addiction Services operate a partnership approach to governance and decision making between service management and clinical leads. Similar partnership arrangements are developing in other services supporting decision making close to the front line. The DHB involves clinical leaders in the Midlands Regional Leadership in Practice and Advanced Leadership programmes. Taranaki DHB also runs a series of internal upskilling sessions focusing on the development of clinical leadership skills.
