Neonatal Quality Standards
Dr Sandra Calvert
Background
• 2009 NICE Commissioned by DoH to manage process for development of quality standards
• Initially pilot project running until April 2010• Four topics – dementia, stroke, VTE prevention
and neonatal care• Overtime a library of over a hundred topics will
be developed sequenced by NQB
Definition of Quality Standard
• A quality standard is a set of specific, concise statements that:– act as markers of high-quality, cost-effective
patient care across a pathway or clinical area;
– are derived from the best available evidence; and
– are produced collaboratively with the NHS and social care, along with their partners and service users
Components
• Qualitative statements
Descriptive statements (5 to 10) of the critical infra-structural and clinical requirements for high quality care as well as the desirable/expected outcomes.
• Quantitative measures
Measure of the expected degree
of adherence/achievement.

VTE
• Specific diagnosis
• CG exist
• Evidence based research
Neonatal Care
• Broad topic
• No existing CG– No simple “gold” standard
• Very little or no evidenced based source or research– Input based on consensus or
opinion
Difficulties of developing QS for Neonatal Care
Overall Approach
• Need to define what a high quality specialist neonatal care service should look like– Tertiary, secondary and community care
• Need to use care pathway approach– Allows safety, effectiveness and experience to be
considered
• Ensure alignment with maternity services

Documents used for Development of Standards
• Toolkit for high quality neonatal services
• BAPM standards for hospitals providing neonatal intensive and high dependency care
• Standards for maternity care: report of a working party
10 areas of care which QS should focus on
15 draft quality statements
Consultation and field testing
Final 9 statements for published quality standards
Is there a quantitative measureof adherence/achievement
• Is there a measurable outcome?
• Is there a standard for comparison?
• What is the evidence that this standard is “best”
