How may clinical leaders contribute to a culture of quality care and compassion in the UK?

How May Clinical Leaders Promote a Culture of Quality Care and Compassion in the United Kingdom? Student’s Name Institution Course # and Name Professor’s Name Submission Date Actions to augment patient safety have demonstrated increasingly varying degrees of efficacy. Typically, hospitals’ risk management units focus more on comparing the performance of wards or units with little focus on improving patient care quality and compassion. Improving patient care quality and compassion based on national guidelines can help prevent patient harm and foster the effectiveness of clinical interventions. The British National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) emphasises the need to leverage scientific evidence based on guidelines to promote a culture of quality care and compassion. This paper evaluates how clinical leaders in the United Kingdom (UK) can leverage NICE guidelines to guide the strategies and interventions to create a culture of quality and compassion within hospitals and the healthcare system. Clinical leaders can contribute to a culture of quality and compassion by implementing shared decision-making models, safe prescribing and management of withdrawal manifestations for adults, and guaranteeing effective treatment and management of depressed adults. In addition, the paper argues that clinical leaders can foster compassion and quality culture in the UK by evaluating, managing, and mitigating self-harm and its possible recurrence among adults, young people, and children. Shared Decision Making Clinical leaders can contribute to a culture of quality and compassion by implementing NICE Clinical Guideline NG197 – Shared decision-making within their hospitals. This guideline is officially endorsed for application in Northern Ireland. Clinical leaders can implement this guideline by encouraging shared decision-making as part of routine care in diverse healthcare settings. In this way, clinical leaders would promote approaches for healthcare professionals and individuals using services to integrate efforts to make effective decisions about care and treatment. The leaders can also implement the guideline’s recommendations, including integrating shared decision-making requirements at the organisational level, implementing shared decision-making and patient decision supports, and augmenting information-sharing capabilities related to risks, benefits, and implications of all care and treatment interventions. The senior clinical leader should be responsible and accountable for the leadership and integration of the shared decision-making framework across the system or HSC organisation (Department of Health, 2022a). Therefore, shared decision-making models improve the culture of safety and compassion, ensuring the patient’s needs and expectations are considered during care and treatment. Safe Prescribing and Withdrawal Management for Adults Clinical leaders can implement NICE Clinical Guideline NG215 by offering support when prescribing medications linked to dependence or withdrawal manifestations as part of their effort to contribute to a culture of quality and safety. This protocol incorporates general requirements for prescribing and management of withdrawal manifestations linked to Z-drugs, antidepressants, gabapentinoids, opioids, and benzodiazepines in secondary and primary care settings. In this context, clinical leaders can foster a culture of quality and compassion by (a) supporting individ...
