  1. Overview Standard Operating Procedures Implementation

  2. What • What are the SOP’s / Oral health easi-sterilise? • What is the intention of the SOP’s • How will they be used? • Where can I find them? • When will they be reviewed? Updated? • Current SOP version is …….

  3. SOP’s • There are two SOP’s one for Oral Health and another that is relevant to hospital Central Sterilizing Departments (CSD’s). • The SOP’s are: • Intended to provide information, direction and to minimise variation to the practice so that every process has exactly the same outcome. • Are to be used by any staff reprocessing equipment • The most current up to date version will be found on the CHRISP website. However up to date hard copies should be available in the workplace • They will be reviewed and updated in consultation with Oral Health Infection Prevention and Control Network (OHIPCN). • OHIPCN meet at a minimum half yearly

  4. Why? • What are the compelling reasons for action? • What events have occurred to warrant change? • What are the benefits / rewards of implementation • What are the consequences of not implementing?

  5. Why? • Improved patient and staff safety • Became an imperative based on recent incidents • Acknowledge an absence in effective communication when changes are made • Implementing a continuous quality improvement program • Meeting QH commitment to provide appropriate training and education • Targeting training needs not targeting individuals

  6. Why? • If we don’t: • In breach of Qld health requirements. • Patients and staff are at risk of acquiring an infection • There will be more stress for staff if there was a breach or an audit and job dissatisfaction → staff turnover → stress • Lack of public trust • Failure to meet accreditation standards

  7. What does it mean for me? • How will it impact my role? • What new skills / knowledge is required? • How will I acquire these? • Is my job safe? • Will I get paid more / less? • What opportunities are available for me? • How will I be supported?

  8. What does it mean for me? • An opportunity to up skill and gain new knowledge with a focus on SOP’s and new processing principles • Time has to be allocated to learn and teach other staff • Yes - definitely because there is known an urgent need for dental treatment • In a financial sense probably not. • Learn how to educate others (skill), become a trusted colleague, respected and team player, perhaps if interested become a Cert IV skills and assessor • Supported by CHRISP and OHIPCN

  9. Acknowledge Past • What was good and bad about the past? • Personalise contributions

  10. The Past The Positive: • 2003 implementation of the CIT was well received and everyone was applying it • So many dedicated long term dental assistants that have provided great services to thousands of patients and wish to continue to do so. The Opportunity: • CIT was not updated when AS/NZS 4815 changed from 2001 to 2006 • Improved communication and training opportunities • We also have personal contributions. DA’s that have done personal training (Cert III Sterilising and Cert. IV W’Place training) • Many of our temp and casual DA’s have wanted to stay on.

  11. How • How will the SOP’s be implemented? • How long will it take? What is the aim? • How will we know they have been implemented successfully? • What resources are available / allocated to this body of work?

  12. How • It is a Queensland Health requirement that the Standard Operating Procedures be fully implemented by all District Oral Health Services by the 31st December 2010. • To have everyone up to date with current practice • Facility Audits • No patient incidents, staff satisfaction surveys • Development of strategies that identifies barriers to implementation and solutions to overcome these barriers • The creation of a OHIPCN will allow for rapid sharing of information and feedback of the implementation of the SOPs

  13. How to assist • What behaviours / action will assist the implementation of the SOP’s? • What attitudes are desired from the team? • How can each team member contribute? • How will you be recognised for good performance? • What will occur if I don’t contribute to the implementation?

  14. How to Assist • Providing staff with the prerequisite skills and knowledge • Skilled teams of clinicians and Senior Dental Assistants to act as champions • Development of strategies that identifies barriers to implementation and solutions to overcome these barriers • The creation of a OHIPCN will allow for rapid sharing of information and feedback of the implementation of the SOPs • A positive attitude • Communication there fears and concerns or achievements and wins • Aura awards are given at Metro North • More patient staff incidents, • Failing to adhere to Qld Health policy
