Developed alongside front line clinicians, the three new measures will provide much greater context about the timeliness and quality of care in emergency departments.  

  

The measures will better record what happens to patients when accessing emergency care than existing targets, and should help to drive improvement in patient care. They will be published monthly, on a national basis initially, from today (Thursday, 19 November).


Mr Gething said:



> “These new measures, developed alongside clinicians, will give us all a much better picture of the care provided by staff in emergency departments than the basic four and twelve\-hour targets alone. In turn this will help health boards focus resources in the right places, at the right time to improve experience and outcomes.”


Dr Jo Mower, vice president of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) Wales and Clinical Director for the National Programme for Unscheduled Care, led a team of front\-line staff who developed the new measures, following engagement with staff and patients.


She said:



> “During our discussions with nurses, doctors and other key staff \- and through public engagement \- we found people most value a timely initial assessment and reassurance when accessing care in emergency departments.  
> 
>   
> 
> Frontline NHS staff broadly felt the existing waiting time targets alone don’t properly describe the extent of care, frequency of interaction with patients nor the timeliness and quality of care they provide. They wanted far greater context to be provided.  
> 
>   
> 
> Combined with the existing targets, and new information relating to patient experience, they will also provide greater transparency, by highlighting previously hidden longer waits. The three new measures will eventually be complemented by others that should help to improve services by focusing resources in the right place and improve flow through the hospital system.”


The first set of three new measures are:


* Time to Triage. The average (median) time people wait for triage by a clinician following arrival, and performance by ‘triage category’ which include ‘immediate’; ‘very urgent’; and ‘urgent’.
* Time to Clinician. The average (median) time a patient waits for a more thorough assessment by a clinician.
* Outcome. Information on where people go once they have been triaged, assessed and treated in the Emergency Department. This will improve understanding of how services are being used to help health boards better manage patients in the community or in different parts of the hospital.


The data is currently classed as experimental, and should be viewed with caution as the quality and accuracy of data improves. The Welsh Government continues to work with health boards to improve data capture and quality.  

  

The data will be published at 09\.30 on Thursday 19 November and can be seen here: https://nccu.nhs.wales/npuc/edqdf  

  

Plans are also underway to develop further measures reflecting the wider urgent and emergency care pathway and to publish information on patient experience.

Bydd y tri mesur newydd, sydd wedi’u datblygu ar y cyd â chlinigwyr y rheng flaen, yn cynnig llawer mwy o gyd\-destun am brydlondeb ac ansawdd gofal mewn adrannau brys.  

  

Bydd y mesurau’n cynnig gwell cofnod o’r hyn sy’n digwydd i gleifion wrth iddynt ddefnyddio gwasanaethau gofal brys na’r targedau presennol, a dylent helpu i sicrhau gwell gofal i gleifion. Bydd y data’n cael eu cyhoeddi bob mis, ar sail genedlaethol i ddechrau, o heddiw ymlaen (dydd Iau, 19 Tachwedd).  

  

Dywedodd Mr Gething:



> “Bydd y mesurau newydd hyn, sydd wedi’u datblygu ar y cyd â chlinigwyr, yn rhoi darlun llawer gwell inni i gyd o’r gofal sy’n cael ei ddarparu gan staff mewn adrannau brys na’r targedau pedair a deuddeg awr sylfaenol yn unig. Bydd hyn, yn ei dro, yn helpu byrddau iechyd i neilltuo’r adnoddau yn y mannau cywir, ar yr adeg gywir, er mwyn gwella profiadau a chanlyniadau.”


Arweiniodd Dr Jo Mower, Is\-lywydd Coleg Brenhinol Meddygaeth Frys Cymru a Chyfarwyddwr Clinigol y Rhaglen Genedlaethol ar gyfer Gofal Heb ei Drefnu, dîm o staff y rheng flaen a ddatblygodd y mesurau newydd, ar ôl iddynt ofyn am farn staff a chleifion.  

Dywedodd:



> “Yn ystod ein trafodaethau gyda nyrsys, meddygon a staff allweddol eraill – a thrwy ymgysylltu â’r cyhoedd – gwelsom fod pobl yn gwerthfawrogi cael asesiad cychwynnol amserol a chysur wrth gael gofal mewn adrannau argyfwng.
> 
> 
> Roedd staff rheng flaen y Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol yn teimlo’n gyffredinol nad yw’r targedau amseroedd aros presennol ar eu pennau eu hunain yn disgrifio faint o ofal a roddir i gleifion, faint o gyswllt a gânt gyda chleifion na phrydlondeb ac ansawdd y gofal a ddarperir. Roeddent am weld llawer mwy o gyd\-destun.
> 
> 
> Ynghyd â’r targedau presennol a gwybodaeth newydd yn ymwneud â phrofiad cleifion, byddant hefyd yn cynnig gwell tryloywder, drwy amlygu amseroedd aros hirach na fyddent wedi dod i’r amlwg yn y gorffennol. Yn y pen draw, bydd y tri mesur newydd yn cael eu hategu gan fesurau eraill a ddylai helpu i wella gwasanaethau drwy neilltuo’r adnoddau yn y mannau cywir a gwella llif cleifion drwy’r system ysbyty.”


Dyma’r set gyntaf o fesurau newydd:


* Amser cyn brysbennu. Yr amser cyfartalog (canolrif) y mae pobl yn ei dreulio’n aros i gael eu brysbennu gan glinigydd ar ôl cyrraedd, a pherfformiad fesul ‘categori brysbennu’ sy’n cynnwys ‘sylw ar unwaith’, ‘brys iawn’ a ‘brys’.
* Amser cyn gweld clinigydd. Yr amser cyfartalog (canolrif) y mae claf yn ei dreulio’n aros am asesiad mwy trylwyr gan glinigydd.
* Gwybodaeth ynglŷn â lle mae pobl yn mynd ar ôl cael eu brysbennu, eu hasesu a’u trin yn yr Adran Damweiniau ac Achosion Brys. Bydd hyn yn gwella dealltwriaeth o’r modd y caiff gwasanaethau eu defnyddio i helpu byrddau iechyd i reoli cleifion yn fwy effeithiol yn y gymuned neu mewn gwahanol rannau o’r ysbyty.


Mae’r data’n cael eu hystyried yn arbrofol ar hyn o bryd, a dylid cymryd gofal wrth eu hystyried tra bo ansawdd a chywirdeb y data yn gwella. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i weithio gyda byrddau iechyd i wella ansawdd data a’r dulliau a ddefnyddir i’w casglu.


Gellir gweld y data yma o 09\.30 dydd Iau 19 Ionawr: https://nccu.nhs.wales/npuc/edqdf  

  

Mae cynlluniau ar y gweill hefyd i ddatblygu mesurau eraill, gan adlewyrchu’r llwybr gofal brys ac argyfwng ehangach, ac i gyhoeddi gwybodaeth am brofiad cleifion.
