Nick Morris Director of Strategy, Performance and Governance Bradford District Care Trust Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven Health Partnership 21 st February 2012 Integrated care delivery…………….. What are the barriers and solutions to cross boundary working?

Barriers: Pressure: –Economic –Demand v capacity Leading to: –Defensive mentality –Short term-ism Interpretation of rules and requirements –Divergent visions and aspirations –Different populations Enabling issues: –Shared information, IT, etc.. Lack of any unifying objectives –Organisational imperatives Finance as a driver Lack of good will….. Solutions: Times of growth and optimism Common and agreed understanding of the problem A jointly held vision – that is customer focused –Integrated teams that have a common focus Good will – people with the right attitudes –willingness to do it together Leading to: –Shared risk taking –‘Pooled budgets’ –Mutual benefits rather than personal/organisational benefits

The Health Economy The whole health economy needs to establish new models of care delivery. Drivers: –A shift from hospital care requires community services to be more effective and proactive – greater capacity and productivity – delivered through partnership –Growing demand/populations require earlier - preventative interventions –Growing demand requires increased capacity at the primary and community interface to prevent un-due escalation in responses –A lean approach to care coordination (across partners) – reduce: bureaucracy, ineffective handovers, risk, improve: patient experience and effectiveness We need a new approach for the delivery of care to the economy

A Vision for Community Services Primary care based services (99%+ of people registered with GP’s) The local population – social care need Acute Hospital CareSocial Care A Comprehensive - Integrated health and social care services that provides coordinated care to individuals and their Communities - horizontal integration Pro-active case mgt

Locality Management LocalityAiredale, Wharfedale and Craven Acute Hospitals Patient flows predominantly from this locality into Airedale NHS FT Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG’s) Airedale and Craven CCG Local AuthorityNorth Yorkshire (Craven DC) and BMDC (Keighley) BDCT – MH/LD and community services Specialist District-wide Services (Acute care pathway, Crisis services, in-patient and residential) A common understanding of the population to be served allows planners to develop joint initiatives Registered and Resident Population issues are Of less significance at this Level – hence joint plans Agreements will become workable

A New Model of Care Delivery Primary Care Practice Primary Care Practice Primary Care Practice Geographic ‘Zone’ Note: some specialist staff/teams will be deployed across teams (locality and district) But accessible to support the delivery at practice group level Neighbourhood Community staff aligned to practice populations A management and supervisory structure supports the coordinated work of a range of different practitioners working to deliver integrated care The link to primary care allows for integrated planning with primary care management and supervisory systems Staff visible at this level – ‘autonomous’ in delivery to defined case loads mapped to GP practices Association to ‘neighbourhood’ concept allows for integration of health need with population ‘social’ need Potential integration of social care within joint integrated teams Fully aligned with Intermediate Care + Potential for benefits across other care pathways DN’s, HV’’s IAPT School nursing, Gateway worker, etc CMHT, OPMH staff Podiatry, etc

A New Model of Care Delivery A Locality aggregated from a larger number of practice Populations (Scale approx 100,000 pop) A Primary Care Practice A Group of Practices Volume of need is sufficient to allow for staff to be allocated to the practice population – i.e. their case load is drawn from this population entirely: example – District Nursing, HV’s, Counselling Integrated delivery – practice staff work together to support the practice population Staff resources too thin to delegate to individual practices – hence staff allocated to a group of primary care practices - population is sufficient to support a case load drawn from this population entirely: example – CMHT staff, ACCT, … Integrated delivery – practice staff work together to support the practice population Practice Population 1,000 – 15,000 Combined Practice Population Approx 15,000 – 30,000 Scale: 1 large Practice – 4 or 5 small single Handed practices Some specialist staff/teams will be deployed across larger groupings of practices at locality scale They will support integrated work at practice level populations Note: There are some specialist staff who will retain a Trust wide remit

Benefits The benefits have been identified as: –Improved focus of care at community – earlier interventions, closer to home –Improved patient experience Horizontal integration, reduced handoffs/handovers, single assessment, shared care. Also enables mobile (agile) working practices –Enhanced relationship Patient – customer focused care – simple access practice staff/systems (care model) – integration with primary care practice Neighbourhood level – integrated health and social care – population focus rather than diagnosis Planning and provider systems - partner organisation – Integration benefits –Reduced risk – less handoff, shared information –Improved Quality – speed of referral/intervention, responsiveness and access to information/support –Efficiency gains Financially – Locality Mgt Structure Productivity at Community level – meeting demographic challenges head on
