So what is Practice-led commissioning ? The North Bradford model is to: Devolve and align responsibility, accountability and authority at practice level

In addition to core PMS – The Primary Care Incentive Scheme Incentive Scheme Element £ available to practice (based on list size of 10,000) Prescribing Quality Markers Payment is direct to GPs, no conditions on how money is spent. Pick “n” mix Rewards small improvements Payments awarded on a matrix basis £12,500 max Hospital Services Quality Markers £10,000 max Financial Performance (based on savings made against indicative practice budget) Linked to quality – if no quality markers achieved then no savings retained. Practice retains 50% of savings made for agreed investment in the practice. Key objective is to encourage practices to achieve “value for money” and utilise alternative services to manage demand. £20,000 max Investment into Primary Care (maximum possible for a practice of 10,000 patients) £42,500 max
In addition to core PMS – The Performance Fund Investing in the infrastructure of Primary Care to support continuous improvement Data collection /data quality Attendance at key meetings / PLT / GP Advisory Group Annual revised Practice Business Plans Summarisation of medical records Investors in People Use of the electronic booking system/booked admissions £50,000 approx.

PMS - The 4 levels of service delivery Core general practice Enhanced services Secondary to primary shift Service developments – phase 1 & phase 2
A closer look at Core General Practice Level 1 indicators = nGMS indicators Level 2 indicators = improving quality further No points system, money upfront, continuous development More money for Chronic Disease Management Includes, for example; - use of templates in relation to the Treatment Centre - practice-level Expert Patient Programmes
A closer look at Enhanced Services Directed Enhanced Services (DES) Examples: - Spirometry - Sexual Health - hysteroscopy workup - 24hr BP - Anticoagulation - Lithium monitoring Practice’s own patients or other practices also
A closer look at Secondary to Primary Shift More rigorous Clinical Governance District-wide accreditation Includes GPs with a Special Interest (GPwSI) - Urology - Diabetes - Dermatology - Musculo-skeletal - Neurology - ENT - Cardiology - and others PCT-wide service
A closer look at Service Developments Phase 1 & Phase 2 Need business case from practices Examples; - Alternative therapies - Integrated community nurses - Minor injuries walk-in site
Key principles Devolve and align responsibility, accountability and authority at practice level Less bureaucratic Flexibility Money invested upfront Clinical standards agreed locally Collaborative approach to working Different pace of change for each practice Recognition of ‘High Achieving practices’ = more autonomy Practices will not be disadvantaged compared to the new GMS contract 10% financial increase for the next 3 years
