  1. PANDA Sue Chapman, Professor Judith Ellis, Caroline Joyce Great Ormond Street Hospital NHS Trust London, England

  2. Background • Clinicians increasingly aware children admitted UK hospitals more complex and nursing care needs dependent • Documentation DoH (2001) outlined recommendations for admission to Paediatric High Dependency (HD) and Intensive Care (IC) units. • RCN guidance (2003) recommends appropriate staffing levels for children’s wards, high dependency and intensive care settings. • New pay structure with Knowledge Skills framework and assessment supporting competency development of all staff • Potential to charge commissioners for higher dependant children on wards

  3. PANDA Project Aims: To develop a tool that will: • Identify the number and location of children who require increased nursing support within the ward environment. • Calculate nursing staff requirement based on the actual acuity and dependency of children • Identify the number and location of complex children with multiple health problems. • Highlight staff training needs relating to ‘high dependency’ skills. • Identify where HD/IC is being delivered outside of PICU for funding to be sought through HRG 3

  4. Airway Respiratory Post Surgery/ procedures Cardiac/ arrhythmias Monitoring / Drug therapy Shock / sepsis / immunodeficiency Renal/ fluids Neurology Other 9 care category groups

  5. PANDA process • Data scanned and checked manually • Collated data on shift-by-shift basis • Enter funded bed establishment • Enter required ‘Uplift’ for sickness, annual leave etc • Identified highest ranking dependency for each child on each shift

  6. Acuity & Nursing Dependency

  7. Example Feedback

  8. Shift by shift analysis

  9. Informing training needs • Generic needs • Skills specific needs • Ward needs • Hospital needs • National needs

  10. Identified HD training priorities • Fluid management • ECG monitoring • Oxygen therapy • Airway assessment • Complex child protection • Assessment of the acutely ill child

  11. Software development • Product under development • Demonstration well received by clinical staff • Installation & Pilot September 2009 • Pilot areas Butterfly, Bumblebee and Sky
