Hamad Medical Corporation Nursing and Midwifery Strategy 2015-2018

Hanan Al-Kuwari, PhD Managing Director, HMC
Two years ago, following the launch of the Nursing Strategy 2013-2015, over 8,000 nurses and midwives working across Hamad’s network of hospitals committed to providing the safest, most effective and most compassionate care to each and every one of our patients. Building on the successful implementation of this ambitious work, the Nursing and Midwifery Strategy 2015-2018 sets the strategic direction for HMC’s nursing and midwifery workforce during the coming three years.
The Nursing and Midwifery Strategy 2015-2018 is a vital component of Hamad’s corporate strategy for transformation; the HMC Strategic Plan ‘Inform, Integrate, Improve’. It reinforces our commitment to improvement and enables the supporting priority of building our Academic Health System as a means of transforming HMC’s organizational capabilities. Each of the five pillars of the Nursing and Midwifery Strategy 2015-2018 make an important and focused contribution to the achievement of our vision for transformation.
While the transformation of our clinical services is an important corporate objective, the provision of safe, effective and compassionate care is fundamental to our role as a healthcare provider. Our true success is measured by the patient experience; and the patient experience is heavily reliant on the skilled and dedicated nurses and midwives who work across a clinically and geographically diverse range of settings. As the frontline of our healthcare service we rely on you to provide high quality, evidence-based patient centered

care. Your commitment to your patients, and their families, is crucial to the safe and effective delivery of care. The Nursing and Midwifery Strategy 2015-2018 has ultimately been developed to support your growth and advancement.
Nurses and midwives comprise the largest group of health professionals at Hamad and the nurse/midwife patient relationship is the cornerstone of nursing and midwifery practice. The essential role you play in creating caring and healing environments is setting the stage for our successful transformation. You have the potential to challenge, change and lead service development and reconfiguration across our hospitals.
I applaud the achievements realized as a result of the Nursing Strategy 2013-2015 and I wish to personally acknowledge the efforts of each and every nurse and midwife at HMC. I congratulate and thank you for your continued commitment. Together we are transforming our health service to ensure we are ready to meet Qatar’s future care needs. As nurses and midwives you will be challenged to perform increasingly specialized roles and help advance real change within our organization. I am confident you will continue to rise and meet the challenge.

Ann-Marie Cannaby, PhD Chief Nursing Officer, HMC
During the past two years nurses and midwives from across HMC have come together to work on implementing the Nursing Strategy 2013-2015. This two year strategy was designed to build the foundations of the journey to providing a world class nursing service at HMC and ultimately to support our professional growth and advancement. Since its launch, a great deal of work has been undertaken and we have made significant progress.
Through the Nursing Strategy 2013-2015 we have increased access to nursing education and sponsorship opportunities, including achieving American Nurse Credentialing Center (ANCC) accreditation for our continuing nursing education program. A new career ladder, the Nursing and Midwifery Career Framework, has been introduced. We also undertook a comprehensive survey of frontline nurses and midwives using the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) RN Survey. We have developed the HMC Scopes of Practice for Nurses and Midwives, the HMC Professional Development Planning Tool and implemented the Code of Professional Behavior and Ethics for Nurses and Midwives.
We launched the Qatari Nursing and Midwifery Development and Mentoring Office and hosted our first meeting of the International Nursing and Midwifery Advisory Board. This advisory board will play an important role in supporting the implementation of our Strategy and its associated action plans by providing external support, challenge and advice for the ongoing transformation of nursing and midwifery.

Hamad Medical Corporation Nursing and Midwifery Strategy 2015-2018
Undoubtedly much has been achieved, but in many ways our work has only just begun. We must remain focused on the future – the Nursing and Midwifery Strategy 2015-2018; like its predecessor it is the culmination of months of hard work. It builds on the sound foundation provided by the previous Strategy and sets out clear priorities for the next three years; priorities that will support the vision of providing the safest, most effective and most compassionate care to each and every one of our patients. This Strategy was developed through widespread consultation with you; it has been shaped by your feedback and your recommendations and I have been delighted by the level of engagement and motivation among our nursing and midwifery staff.
The Nursing and Midwifery Strategy 2015-2018 has been built on the five pillars established by the first Strategy; the right staff; educated to the right standards; in the right structure; actively participating in research as part of the Academic Health System. This Strategy also reinforces the importance of providing patients with the best possible care; an important priority challenged by unprecedented changes, including significant health system reforms and a growing and diverse population.
In closing, I encourage you to go beyond simply reading this Strategy. Think critically about the challenges we face and about the opportunities we can embrace. I welcome your feedback. I would like to personally thank those of you who contributed to this Strategy and to acknowledge Dr. Hanan Al-Kuwari for her ongoing support and investment in the development of nurses and midwives here at HMC.

Hamad Medical Corporation Nursing and Midwifery Strategy 2015-2018
Introduction
As nurses and midwives we are central to patients’ healthcare experiences. We are advocates for our patients, and their families; we promote dignity, uphold our patients’ trust and preserve the reputation of our profession. We are uniquely placed to make a real difference in the lives of our patients and the future of healthcare in Qatar.
An excellent nursing and midwifery service is central to both the patients’ experience of healthcare and their health outcomes. It is therefore vital that the nursing and midwifery workforce provides high quality care and works towards realizing a strategy that places the patient at the center of care; a strategy that supports active involvement of patients and their families in the design of new care models and in decision making about individual options for treatment.
7
To create a world class nursing and midwifery service here at HMC we need to:
• provide the best evidence-based compassionate care
• with the right staff
• educated to the right standards
• in the right structure
• actively participating in and leading research as part of the Academic Health System (AHS)
The Nursing and Midwifery Strategy 2015-2018 has been built on these five pillars and supports HMC’s vision to deliver the safest, most effective and most compassionate care to each and every one of our patients.
This document articulates the link between nursing and midwifery practice, education, leadership, governance and research. It outlines a strategy and three year action plan (Appendix I) which will continue to accelerate our journey towards delivering excellence in nursing and midwifery service.

Hamad Medical Corporation Nursing and Midwifery Strategy 2015-2018
This is how we will work
The Nursing and Midwifery Strategy 2015-2018 has been developed through widespread consultation with the nursing and midwifery workforce. It sets forward a three year action plan, with measurable outcomes, and integrates HMC’s vision of delivering the safest, most effective and most compassionate care to each and every one of our patients.
We will deliver this Strategy through:• Developing partnerships with those we care for.• Working in multiprofessional teams.• Ensuring evidence-based practice and healthcare.• Engaging in everyday quality improvement.• Developing the nursing and midwifery workforce through education
and research.
Partnerships with those we care forNurses and midwives working at HMC will:• Listen and seek the opinions of those that use our services; feedback
is central to ongoing improvement. Therefore, at every opportunity, including in the introduction of new services or new ways of working, we will endeavor to involve our clients and patients and to incorporate their perspective.
• Ensure patient and family feedback is central to the discussion during nursing and midwifery meetings.
• Be open, honest and transparent and recognize opportunities for ongoing improvement.
Working in teams Working together as a team we will: • Support frontline nurses and midwives in taking an active role in day-to-day
decision making and in the pursuit of leadership roles.• Foster an environment of learning; modelling and encouraging
multidisciplinary teamwork and collaborating with colleagues across our health system to improve patient care.
9
• Collaborate with patients, their families and members of the multiprofessional care team in the design and development of new services.
Promoting practice and healthcare On a daily basis we will:• Professionally state our point of view and advocate in the best interest of
our patients.• Use our influencing skills to positively affect organizational outcomes and
ensure that the nursing and midwifery perspective is heard.• Work to ensure effective nursing governance is integrated within the
broader HMC clinical network and governance structures.
10
Hamad Medical Corporation Nursing and Midwifery Strategy 2015-2018
Everyday quality improvementQuality improvement is part of everyday professional practice. We will:• Continually improve the care we deliver through implementing evidence-
based practice, and using feedback and data to advance nursing and midwifery care. Feedback is central to the modern nursing and midwifery practice and will enable us to think critically about how we can improve.
• Support the multidisciplinary team in the implementation of patient and family centered care based on the best available evidence.
• Leverage and integrate technology into the delivery of evidence-based practice.
• Ensure safe nursing and midwifery staffing levels are in place to both deliver day-to-day patient care and support the development of new services.
• Make measurable improvements in care delivery; we will work to improve the quality of patient and family care. Every year priorities and targets for improvement will be set and action plans agreed.
Nursing and midwifery workforce development through education and researchHMC recognizes the importance of investing in nurses and midwives to develop their skills and knowledge for the benefit of patients. We will:• Ensure nurses and midwives have access to the education required to
progress in their profession within the career framework. We will partner with a range of providers to create educational opportunities within Qatar.
• Create pathways of education to develop the specialist knowledge and skills of nurses and midwives.
• Develop our research capacity and promote a culture that supports access to evidence-based patient care practice.
