1. Kia Ora Vision ,

2. Kia Ora Vision
Programme to manage LTC population centered around the needs of the patient.
Includes interdisciplinary care planning and service co-ordination, and supporting people to optimize self-management
In Northland the current Care Plus programme allows four free funded visits per year for a person with Long Term Conditions to visit their GP or nurse. Criteria is different between the two PHOs but both have the criteria that the person must have two long term conditions
The current programme resource is not always allocated to the patients who need it the most i.e patients who have a Long Term Condition and are at high risk due to physical, and/or psychosocial factors. Risk stratification is required
There are no consistent quality and processes for standards of care, care planning or discharge planning for Care Plus patients.
The programme lacks flexibility with the funding .
There is currently poor integration between primary and secondary care for people with Long Term Conditions – a “whole of system “ approach is required for optimum care .

3. Care Plus review Care Plus reviewed by Leonie Gallagher in 2010
Review identified – Rigid criteria, not many discharged off programme, funding not flexible, care plan were not patient centred and not all patients had care plans, variable utilisation rates, resources not always targeted to those who needed it the most

4. Change to Kia Ora Vision
Kia Ora Vision programme introduced in 2016
More flexibility for eligibility. Resources targeted to people who need it the most irrespective of age
More flexibility for types of consults based on individualised need e.g. longer consults, nurse led clinics, consults, MDT’s, group sessions (preferable at no patient cost but practice may apply charges at it’s own discretion)
A patient centric Care Plan that builds an understanding of ‘what matters to me’ (the patient) that promotes health literacy and engagement in health goals
Optimising peoples self-management abilities e.g. green prescription referral, Whakamana Hauora, Diabetes self-management programme
An intraoperative platform that can improve interprofessional collaboration and provide consistency of care and transparency of care across multiple members of a care team (secondary and primary)

7. Steps to care planning Identify the patient Identify the Care team
Initiate the care plan
Set goals with the patient
Monitor progress
Review, update and/or close

8. Identify the patient
Risk stratification - Risk reports, audit tools, clinical knowledge
Who are the people in your practice with the most complex needs?
Who are those patients who would benefit from having a comprehensive care plan and care co-ordination?
Who will access the risk reports in NPHOS? Print out DrINFO lists?
Who will review the reports and identify who needs to be on KOV?
How often?
How will this be communicated to the team?

9. Identify the patient Tools for risk stratification
DHB data – frequent admissions/ attendance to ED (Risk Reports, NPHOS website) Provided data detailing your current KOV and non –KOV patients with the highest utilisation rates and those with known LTCs who are not being seen- this will improve targeting of care.
Clinical judgement – those patients that health practitioners identify as benefiting from more intensive management. It would be expected everyone has at the minimum an annual review but it may be you choose to see some patients quarterly, twice a year or more frequently if they are needing more intensive care.
Dr Info audit for patients with LTC’s (eligible), disease register (CVD, Diabetes, COPD), query for polypharmacy (NSAID’s)
PMS Query Tool for self made audits

10. Identify the care team Named care plan co-ordinator
Who will be the co-ordinator for the patient?
Who are the other health and social services involved?

11. Initiate the care plan
Invite patient for care planning appointment (Patients to be amenable to change and have indicated they wish to participate in programme)
Enrol on Careplus F3 tab
When/how will this be booked into templates?
How will KOV appts be invoiced to track funding?

12. Set goals with the patient
Goals are patient centred and set collaboratively
Utilise Whanau Tahi to document personalised care plan “What matters to me”
Tasks are set that are steps towards goals
Tayloring packages to allow patients to be seen as often as deemed high need
“what is it that you would like to do that you can’t do now?”
SMART goals

13. Monitoring progress Monitoring by care plan co-ordinator
Check in regularly with patient on progress
How will any changes be communicated to the care team?

14. Review, update and / or close
Review care plan with the patient and care team every 3-6 mths or as appropriate
Multidisciplinary team meetings and review for patients that have multiple providers involved in their day-to-day health care
Document progress, update care plan or close

15. Programme Measures
80% of eligible population is enrolled in the Kia Ora Vision programme (eligible formula approx. 5% popn, includes age, socio-economic status, ethnicity)
Enrolled Kia Ora Vision clients who have a Whanau Tahi care plan – 50% increasing incrementally to 90% by June 2021
Equity – ethnicity split of patients enrolled in Kia Ora Vision should be reflective of the ethnicity split of your eligible Care Plus residual population.
Quality of plans - Whanau Tahi plans are audited as per Personalised Care Plan audit tool
