Stretch Aim WORKSTREAM 2 85% of all children within North, South and East Ayrshire will reach expected developmental skills and abilities expected at 27 month old Given all of the above, craft your Aim statement. This may be slightly different or an updated version of the Aim you had on your Storyboard at Learning Session 1. For example: The (name of your specific project/team) ________________________________________________________________ intends to accomplish (This is a general over arching statement describing what you intend to improve. It also includes the areas you have targeted for change)

Our focus from LS1 to LS2 To practice using the Improvement tool PDSA small tests of change in own working areas. A common understanding of the stretch aim Implement a universal assessment for all children at 27 mths To implement a universal timeline of assessments prior to 27 mths To consider interventional care pathways

Learning from testing PDSA I feel prevent people from taking immediate actions based on observations without having a clear picture of real impact Allowed the user to have clarity around what they were trying to acheive I found the process to be useful I feel there were comments made that I had not considered prior to the tests The test highlighted the need for input around developmental milestones I learned how much the nursery and Health Visiting staff valued the opportunity to speak directly with each other about child well being and parental support Provided me with a useful model to follow Once we know the main barrier….discuss with managers and implement …then repeat question…..that will give us quantitative run chart data…with some narrative…..   Once we know the barrier, discuss, change and repeat, these cycles will give us run charts

Our Accomplishments On one slide, please complete this statement: “Since Learning Session 1, we have been able to…..?”]

Our Results So Far All away team members have increased confidence of the PDSA tool now exploring data collections All away team members have agreed the primary and secondary drivers in the Driver Diagram and where testing fits We have limited experience in collating data using run charts. If you have been able to start to collect any data, please show some sample data from your tests of change on charts

Our Results So Far From April 2013 100% of Ayrshire children reaching 27 months are offered a home based assessment by the Health Visitor, following The National Child Health Programme The WS2 away team have a shared understanding of skills and abilities (developmental milestones) all have copies of Mary Sheridan assessment guide, the Child Health Programme, The Health Visitor assessment and Ages/Stages validated assessment tool. The WS2 away team have a shared understanding of the universal Health Visitor assessment timeline which could identify early developmental delays and interventional support The WS2 away teams arranging for home teams to have understanding as above 4 Care Pathway groups in early stages to assist where skills/abilities or delays in development are identified NUTRITION , ORAL WELLBEING, GLOBAL DEVELOPMENTAL AFFECT OR A LONG TERM MEDICAL CONDIITION, COMMUNICATION AND LANGUAGE

What are we working on Parental access to support to increase confidence and knowledge Information sharing across service on wellbeing Integration of HV clinics within Early Years settings to share intelligence, increase access and opportunities Parental Knowledge and skills following intervention Use of Solihull in practice Early detection of developmental delays or other health/wellbeing related matters Uptake of 27 month assessment and ASQ Tool
