London approach to LWBC metrics Stephen Scott – Head of Informatics – RM Partners
London approach to LWBC metrics Pan London approach to collection of LWBC metrics collated by informatics team within RM Partners (collected on a Pan-London basis since 2015) Quarterly returns received from trusts detailing tumour level volumes of Holistic Needs Assessment around diagnosis Holistic Needs Assessment at end of treatment End of Treatment summary Attendance at Health and Well Being Event Patient stratified into self management for breast/colorectal and prostate These are compared to numbers of 1st treatments in Cancer Waiting Times as estimate for proportion of patients receiving intervention. Overall report produced alongside one for each tumour type.

Advantages and disadvantage of approach Produces comparative metrics for LWBC interventions to be used across system, which increases profile of metrics Covering 3 Alliances, allows comparisons across different systems, particularly at tumour level Agreed definitions across London providers to provide relatively comparable figures Gives every tumour type content/metrics to discuss for LWBC Able to demonstrate improvement. Disadvantages Labour intensive approach, both locally for providers and to collate regionally Estimation of completeness, based on 1st treatments in CWT not necessarily reflective of where LWBC interventions undertaken (but have been able to identify an alternative)
London E-HNA audit 2017 overview Pan London approach to Living With and Beyond Cancer including informatics support provided via RM Partners Quarterly returns detailing counts of elements of recovery package and patients enter onto self-management pathway from trusts Analysis of Electronic Holistic Needs Assessments (E-HNA) Originally E-HNA analysis for 2016, based on a direct feed from Macmillan’s tool. Repeated in 2017 but this time Returns received directly from London providers Able to include E-HNA information from different systems (e.g Somerset) Included additional information on care plans and resulting actions from HNA
E-HNAs included across London 9,793 patient E-HNA recorded included across London
Participation by trust across London
Number E-HNAs by stage of pathway London breakdown 41% at initial cancer diagnosis 16% at start of treatment 14% during treatment 22% at end of treatment
E-HNAs with a care plan London 60% of patients with a care plan linked to their E-HNA 42% of patients received a copy of their care plan

Next steps for E-HNA analysis Scoping further analysis including Tumour specific analysis Deep dives into particular concerns Analysis of actions resulting from care plans Development of trust level reports Linkage to cancer information system at trust level Plans to repeat audit for 2018 cohort of patients Future plans to link Macmillan’s tool with Somerset allowing additional analysis Ongoing encouragement to trusts, to use a E-HNA tool.
