Healthcare delivery By focusing on these areas, hospitals could
create a safer and more supportive environment for both patients and caregivers.
Risk management and root cause analysis Risk management within the NHS involves identifying, evaluating, and prioritising risks, while root cause analysis identifies the underlying causes of problems or incidents. Integrating these approaches enhances risk management, enabling the implementation of targeted and effective risk mitigation strategies to prevent harm.20
Arjo Insight assessments21
provide evidence-based risk assessments aligned with recognised working standards.18,22 These assessments support hospitals by offering detailed evaluations of population characteristics, clinical outcomes, educational needs, and compliance with clinical and regulatory guidelines. By using these assessments, care environments can work to improve clinical outcomes, promote mobility, reduce healthcare-acquired pressure ulcers, and minimise the risk of caregiver physical strain and injury. Additionally, they help identify equipment deficits and surpluses, facilitating efficient workflow and resource management as part of a comprehensive risk mitigation strategy.
Evidence-based education To support the NHS in implementing a risk mitigation strategy, Arjo offers tailored educational programmes aimed at improving clinical outcomes, workflow efficiencies, regulatory compliance, and optimised resource utilisation. These evidence-based clinical programmes focus on individualised mobility to improve care process efficiency, reduce physical strain and injury to care staff and prevent pressure ulcers. Arjo MOVE programmes equip care facilities with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to drive improvements towards strategic clinical and operational goals. Supported by clinical evidence and the facility’s own data, these programmes deliver value-based healthcare, measurable outcomes, and sustainable cultural change. Additionally, Arjo provides evidence-based, CPD-accredited educational content, including the aforementioned programmes, study days, and events. We also offer interactive webinars and specialised training focused on the effective use of equipment.
Summary The delivery of education programmes on patient handling and pressure ulcer
prevention, supported by workplace coaching, can help embed a cultural change in clinical practice within the acute care setting. The CQC Single Assessment Framework emphasises the importance of care that is safe, effective, caring, responsive to people’s needs and well-led.2,3
The Arjo MOVE programmes
are designed to support the facilities we work with to meet regulatory requirements, improve outcomes, and enhance the quality of care and quality of work provided. The aim is to support facilities deliver safe, effective, and compassionate care that meets the needs of their patients and care staff by integrating these value-based healthcare principles. As the healthcare landscape continues to
evolve, facilities must adapt by embracing value-based principles to provide the best possible care to their patients. A commitment to
ongoing education and adherence to regulatory standards, ensures that hospital care remains at the forefront of delivering high-quality, personalised care.
