How do our investigations work?
Delphi utilises a range of investigative approaches that show the potential causes of a specific event and a review and analysis of patients’ clinical notes, risk assessments and care plans can identify areas of risk and suggest actions for improvement. We also utilise a PSRIF template to discover the causes of a problem and its solutions; alongside a detailed timeline of events. Due to their impartiality, Delphi are able to provide an unbiased and evidence-based, factual report based on the evidence provided. All investigations are peer reviewed for accuracy, consistency and proportionality. Delphi use open and closed questions in interviews with staff involved in an incident, with a ‘no blame’ philosophy.
Following the three pillars of quality base of the NHS; safety, clinical effectiveness and patient experience, Delphi has a team of experienced clinicians and senior operational staff and are able to bring in expert subject matter associates, should there be a need. Our composition of staff includes Occupational Therapist, RMN, RGN, LD, CQC Inspectors, Operational Managers, all with many years of experience at senior level both within the Public and Private sectors.
