GIRFT-Getting it right first time

GIRFT (Getting-it-right-first-time)
There is considerable unwarranted variation in the way we care for patients. Using national data sources and onsite
visits led by senior clinicians in each field the getting-it-it right-first time (GIRFT) programme aims to reduce this
variation and improve patient care.
The GIRFT programme was started in 2012 as a pilot in Orthopaedic Surgery by Professor Tim Briggs. The initial pilot was extremely successful, resulting in considerable operational improvements, resource savings and better patient outcomes.
As a result, the programme has undergone rapid expansion and itnow includes 35 specialties including Radiology. As the GIRFT lead for Radiology Kath Halliday is visiting every hospital in England presenting each department with a dashboard of their data, demonstrating where they lie in comparison to their peers. In this talk she discusses some of the outcomes from GIRFT so far and emerging themes in radiology.
