Evaluating a process of academic detailing in primary care: an educational programme for acute kidney injury.

Background: Primary care has a significant role in AKI management: two-thirds of AKI originates in the community. Through academic detailing (an evidence-based educational approach) we aimed to implement and measure the effect of a primary care-based education programme based around academic detailing and peer-reviewed audit.

Methods: The education programme took place across a large clinical commissioning group (CCG) consisting of 55 primary care practices.

Accountability in the NHS.

In the first three articles in this series, we looked at the various components of good governance and how nurse leaders can create cultures and systems to promote and measure good governance. We used the quality governance framework of foundation trust regulator Monitor to explore how an NHS organisation's strategy, systems and process and the measurement of performance are designed to ensure delivery of high quality care.

Systems and processes that ensure high quality care.

This is the second in a series of articles examining the components of good corporate governance. It considers how the structures and processes for quality governance can affect an organisation's ability to be assured about the quality of care. Complex information systems and procedures can lead to poor quality care, but sound structures and processes alone are insufficient to ensure good governance, and behavioural factors play a significant part in making sure that staff are enabled to provide good quality care.

Robust data enables managers to promote good practice.

This is the third in a series of articles examining the components of good corporate governance. The effective and efficient use of information and sources of information is crucial for good governance. This article explores the ways in which boards and management can obtain and use information to monitor performance and promote good practice, and how boards can be assured about the quality of information on which they rely.

How nurse leaders can foster a climate of good governance.

This article is the first in a series of four examining the components of good corporate governance. Poor governance can result in patients receiving poor quality care; all healthcare professionals, therefore, have a role in ensuring effective governance. This article discusses how an organisation's culture and leadership can contribute to good corporate governance.

What defines good nursing?

IN THE past six months, nursing and midwifery leaders across England have sought to answer the question: how can nurses and midwives deliver continuously better services in ways that are productive and ultimately cash releasing?
