Abstract
Background: The Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) is a care plan to guide emergency treatment when the person cannot contribute. ReSPECT is important in supporting adults at risk of decline.
Aim: To implement, evaluate and embed ReSPECT conversations to improve patient safety out of hours and support involvement of patients and their families.
Methods: A quality improvement design underpinned by normalisation process theory (NPT) undertaken in a 35-bed community hospital ward between May 2022 and September 2023. Organisational prioritisation, facilitators, and champions supported the plan. Evaluation analysed ReSPECT plans, observations and a follow-up focus group.
Results: ReSPECT conversations increased by 43% over 1 year (23 to 32 patients), and in quality (from 15/23 patients with a do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation decision recorded and no ReSPECT plan to 32/35 with an individualised ReSPECT plan).
Conclusions: ReSPECT could be implemented in community hospitals with facilitators and champions to deliver and embed change. The implementation plan is informing wider rollout across community hospital wards for adults with frailty and multiple conditions.
