26. MDTs in DGS – the patient centred approach

27. MDT localities
6 localities across Dartford, Gravesham & Swanley (30-50k patients each)
Staff aligned to localities from multiple health & social care providers
3 MDTs are ‘live’. Remaining 3 planned to go-live throughout April
Weekly MDT meetings with GPs managed by MDT Co-ordinators (currently CCG staff)
Patient nominations welcome – actively working through GP frailty lists and focussing on elderly, frequent attenders at A&E

28. Patient example - MD 71 year old female
FRAILTY SCORE of 33, which equates to ‘MODERATE FRAILTY’
Multiple LTCs:
COPD
TYPE 2 DIABETES
CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE
CHRONIC LOWER EXTREMITY OEDEMA
NEW ONSET RECURRENT FALLS
NEW ONSET COGNITIVE DECLINE

29. MD’s social history SOCIAL HISTORY: Widowed
Lived alone in 2 storey house with upstairs bedroom
Help from Neighbour who was assisting with finances, home modifications and direct patient care
There were some safeguarding concerns around her care

30. MD in crisis
MD had an emergency admission to Hospital in October 2018 (as MDTs were launched) – this was for a lower respiratory tract infection and dehydration. Home therapy previously in place had failed and social vulnerability had been identified by the GP
MD was discharged to an intermediate care unit after 24 hours in Hospital and she stayed in intermediate care for 20 days to rehabilitate
MD was placed on the community nursing caseload when she returned home as she was a housebound patient
Anna

31. So what did the MDT do?
We discussed MD after the GP nominated her. We agreed, as a team, the GP would contact the patient and discuss/initiate care while MD was still in the intermediate care setting – discharge date was agreed with staff and MD
A medication review was undertaken by the GP upon discharge – medications optimised for lower extremity oedema
A home visit was undertaken by the community matron to review MD’s LTC management. COPD therapy was optimised, a Diabetes review was undertaken and this is now well controlled. GP was notified of incontinence and a prompt referral and assessment was initiated
MD was reviewed by a community navigator and social services – an assessment of vulnerability/safeguarding was undertaken in the patients home. MDs care needs were assessed and the patient wished to be supported individually in her own home

32. How has this helped MD?
LTCs now well controlled – MD has been discharged from the community matron caseload
MD continues with housebound care via a number of services
A recent emergency admission for Anemia due to GI bleed resulted in a six day stay for investigation and treatment. MD was then discharged home successfully to continue with her current care plan

33. How has this helped the MDT?
Everyone in the same room, at the same time, discussing the same patient - effective communication & very patient focussed
Immediate updates from a number of different providers
Urgent actions taken away by staff and followed up as required
MDT coordinator able to keep track of the patients journey and relevant actions for the group etc

34. ESTHER café’s
We are working with our ESTHER colleagues to arrange ESTHER cafes in DGS throughout April/May
A small selection of practices have been chosen to provide case studies for us to focus on – patient consent will be gained
Plan is to hold at least one ESTHER café, once every quarter, in each of the 6 DGS localities

38. How I Met Doris

39. Can I Come Home?

40. Out of that hospital gown

41. Home for Manicure & Wine

42. But Doris didn’t have family:
Lived alone
Assessed for Nursing Home Placement in Hospital
Frail, elderly and worried
Her concerns:
Did I shut the front door?
What about telling my friends and neighbours
Where is my handbag?
Is this how it all ends??????

43. Benefits of Esther:
To support people who believe they are capable of returning home.
To allow people and their families time and space to make informed decisions about future care.
To provide one high quality, person centred trusted assessment in the right place - HOME.
To provide support, advice and advocacy to people and their families regarding ongoing options available.
To reduce unnecessary residential care admissions.

44. Esther’s Journey:
Esther is likely to remain living independently at home for longer.
Esther and family are given time and space to fully consider all options.
Esther receives a more appropriate assessment at home.
Esther is no longer a DTOC or ‘stranded’ patient.
Esther is in control and has choice.
Esther has been given her life back!

45. Case Study:
Admitted to hospital with a fracture that could not be surgically repaired.
Main carer was his daughter who was living with her own disabilities.
Heading for residential care – as would be bedbound and deemed as unsuitable to return home, due to other complex health conditions.
Eager to return to his daughter – a co-dependant relationship.
Was referred to Home to Decide.
After his Hilton journey, this man was able to remain at home with his daughter – his only wish.
A package of care was implemented alongside Carer Support and Telecare assistive technology.

46. Feedback
I wanted to thank you for recently looking after my Dad, who was admitted to hospital in February, following a fall and with a chest infection. I did not know your service existed, but with the 3 days, 24hr support, followed by regular calls supplied by you, this allowed us to set him up at home, where he now continues with private care. Excellent service from a great team. Having this service allowed me the time to make the best decision with Dad.

47. Feedback
All of your nurses/carers looking after my mother at her home were excellent in every respect. They were all thoughtful, kind, patient and professional under Claire’s guidance. Also, a special thank you to Claire, for giving me much needed emotional support. The girls deserve a thank you for their positive contribution to the company. Well done.

49. Esther Inspiration Day Local Care - ESTHER Philosophy in Practice
21 March 2019

50. Local care:
The Kent and Medway Sustainability and Transformation Plan outlines the intention of the Kent and Medway health and care system to deliver an integrated health and social care model that focuses on delivering high quality, outcome focused, person centred, coordinated care that is easy to access and enables people to stay well and live independently and for as long as possible in their home setting.
Additionally, the Kent and Medway Case for Change states that the first priority is to develop more and better Local Care services;
Local care being the delivery of integrated health and care services close to where people live, with
A collective commitment of the health and care system in Kent and Medway to fundamentally transform how and where we will support people to keep well and live well.

51. The Model is Patient Centred Care: Our ESTHER in Kent and Medway is ‘Dorothy’
This will be achieved by the single point of access, an integrated health and social care MDT, liaison with specialist services and other supporting services
Local care already happening in places across Kent e.g. Encompass, Thanet Primary Care Homes
Between now and 2021 all of Kent and Medway having implemented all of care models
Starting in different places
Localities providing services to 30 to 50k
29 in total
Groups 1, 2, 3

52. This will be achieved through Multi-disciplinary Team (MDT) Working
We aim to put ‘Dorothy’ (ESTHER) at the heart of their own care.
By asking, “What matters to you?”
Prevention and self care
Community pharmacists
Acute mental health care
Consistent high-quality acute care
Rapid response
Integrated health and social care at home
Care co-ordination
Therapists
Dementia nurses
Diagnostics
Mental health
Single point of access
To;
prevent ill health
intervene earlier
support wellbeing and independence
deliver integrated care closer to home.

54. Our eight ambitions for ‘Dorothy’ (ESTHER)
Implementing local care
Our eight ambitions for ‘Dorothy’ (ESTHER)
Our ultimate aim for older people is to support their needs better and stop them going into hospital.
We know that every day in Kent and Medway around 1,000 people are in a hospital bed when they don’t need to be or want to be.
Some of the reasons why older people stay too long in hospital are:
they have to wait for care to be in place to support them going home
they need a social care assessment or an occupational health assessment
or they need a residential home place.
To illustrate how we would like to improve care and treat more people at home, we’ve created ‘Dorothy’, an example patient. By demonstrating what we think her care should look like, we can look at how our proposed model might work.
So imagine Dorothy is 79, and frail. She has type 2 diabetes, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), memory loss and depression. She lives with her husband Bill, who also has type 2 diabetes, and is her main carer.
We have eight ambitions for Dorothy and people like her which are:
helping Dorothy to look after herself
organising her care better
keeping her safe in her home
joining-up the team looking after her
having one number for her to call for help, advice or support
responding rapidly to her at home when she becomes unwell and needs it
making sure Dorothy can get home from hospital quickly and safely
giving Dorothy, her GP and the people looking after her better access to expert advice and faster access to her test results in the community
The following eight slides will explore these further …
