Hounslow’s health trends

Area of relatively high population growth: the number of under 19s living in the borough is forecast to rise 10% by 2020 and the number of

  • ver 85s by 15%.

The proportion of residents suffering from diabetes is forecast to rise 43% in the 6 years to 2015.

Significantly more deaths from heart disease and stroke than the England average.

40% of year 6 children in Hounslow are overweight or obese, which is significantly higher than the London or national average

Life expectancy in Hounslow is around 1 year less than the national average

This is due to services working separately resulting in patients falling through the gaps

IV Community Matrons ART and social work District Nursing Community Rehab Mental health Different services work separately Resulting in patients falling though gaps After being stabilised by great care from the ICRS Ms Smith was readmitted after she was passed to core services Inexperienced district nurses refer many patients to GPs unnecessarily Many stroke patients are confused about who is co-ordinating their care after they are discharged Hospital is unable to discharge early because they don’t trust services to coordinate

We have a clear vision for how OOH care will look in the future

The out of hospital strategy is about multi- professional staff working together to deliver quality primary, intermediate and social care and managing long term conditions out of hospital in the most cost effective way

GWCCG wants secondary care consultants supporting general practice and working together to ensure effective joined up case management that provides quality of care and value for money and reduces duplication

This will mean delivering across 5 key areas

Easy access to high quality, responsive primary care through continuous drive to improve performance and access and reduce inappropriate variation led by education and peer pressure with performance management when necessary. To seek to develop Heston Health Centre and a primary care facility on the WMUH site. High quality elective care and well understood planned care pathways with minimal numbers of attendances at secondary care to reduce the time patients have to take from their daily lives, detailed care and management plans sent to GPs and patients to enable local/self management. Rapid response to urgent needs so that fewer patients need to access hospital emergency care. Telephone first – patients to know that this is the best way to good signposting to an efficient and seamless service. Patient education on how to get best value from their NHS. Palliative care to move to an elective service. Providers (social and health) working together, with the patient at the centre to proactively manage LTCs, the elderly and end of lifecare out-of hospital., resulting in patients feeling secure in referral into an effective and safe partnership between the community providers, social services with support from their GPs

Easy access to high quality, responsive primary care

Claire is 36. She is a working mother who struggles to manage her work and home life. She has a young son, Jason who is 4 years old and has a fever. Claire understands that 111 can direct her to the most appropriate care She is relieved and reassured, feeling confidence in the system Claire is reassured and feels confident to see episode through Record is taken of the event and communicated to the family’s GP via SystmOne In future, patients will have better access to primary care and know how to get it . . . Primary care has been difficult for some patients to access, putting pressure on other parts of the health system… Stressful and time consuming process for Claire to find a solution A&E staff feel overwhelmed by flow of unscheduled patients Claire grateful for treatment and idea of A&E as place to get care is reinforced Claire uncertain what best course of action is and who to contact Claire comes home form work at 6pm to find her son has come back from nursery with a fever Claire rings her GP but cannot get through. After several attempts decides to take Jason to her local A&E A&E is crowded and there is long wait. The conditions are stressful and Jason’s condition worsens. Treatment is transactional. Jason misses out on opportunity for broader child welfare e.g., staff do not make sure jabs up to date, check Claire is coping GP sees her son and has access to child's (and family's) health record, they check child over, look for rash and send home. They send record

  • f attendance to Claire’s own GP

If it was something more serious (e.g. rash with query meningitis, then the GP could have given a injection of penicillin before sending on to paeds unit) She is given an appointment for 8,30pm at the Urgent Care Centre to see a GP Claire comes home form work at 6pm to find her son has come back from nursery with a fever and calls 111

8 Paul is 43. He is in good health but has been experiencing severe discomfort in his knee following a recent bout of exercise

Clearly understood planned care pathways that ensure

  • ut of hospital care is not delivered in a hospital setting

Sometimes the pathway to receive planned care is complex and disjointed… Paul meets with his GP who is unsure of best treatment

  • ptions and lacks equipment

to diagnose Paul is referred to an OP clinic for a scan After 2 weeks Paul is called in for a follow up appointment and receives 2nd scan and is advised he needs a hospital appointment 2 weeks later Paul has not received a followup and returns to GP for further advice In future, the pathway with be simpler, understood by all clinicians and joined up. . . Paul feels immediate progress is being made and information is efficiently passed between GP and consultant Paul is reassured by the structured approach His GP is able to check in on Paul’s progress with rehab Paul goes to hospital 2 weeks later for operation. He has a brief stay on the ward and is discharged with a rehab plan On arriving home receives an email from the hospital explaining plans for rehab and treatment plan is recorded in GP records via SystmOne MSK specialist physio carries out assessment, including a scan at the diagnostic clinic and books Paul a hospital admission and discharge date. Treatment is recorded in GP records via SystmOne. Paul meets with GP who discusses

  • ptions and shares information about

treatment and impact. Books patient for MSK assessment with community services

B

Paul still does not understand what his treatment options are Paul has to take time off work to attend Paul does not have his results with him and his GP is unable to give further advice

9 Urgent care has been stressful when patients need support . . .

Rapid response to urgent needs so that fewer patients need to access hospital emergency care

Ethan is 84. He lives alone and usually stable Parkinson’s disease and walks with a stick. Recently he has developed an urinary tract infection which has led to him becoming confused Ethan’s wife is worried and calls an ambulance In A&E, the strange surroundings make Ethan even more confused and he becomes disruptive and aggressive While struggling, Ethan rolls out of bed and severely hurts his leg Three weeks later, Ethan is still in hospital and his mental state has deteriorated, he is discharged into a care home In future, we will meet patients’ needs at home . . . Ethan is able to stay at home. His wife knows who is responsible for coordinating care Stress is minimised and the people with the most appropriate skills are available Early intensive support accelerates recovery A smooth transition is made to a locally based multi- disciplinary care team Days 1 to 4 – cared for in bed with regular visits from nurses in the team Day 5 – confusion much

  • improved. Eating

and drinking well and wants to get

  • ut of bed

Day 5 onwards – physio working with carers increasing patient’s mobility and exercise tolerance GP, social worker and physiotherapist from ICRS visit Ethan at home. They review his medication, move the furniture in his lounge and set up a hospital bed and pressure-relieving equipment Ethan is referred to ICRS by his GP. He has been unable to get out of his chair for the past few

  • days. His wife is

caring for him Day 7 – Referred to community rehabilitation service

C

Hospital nurse are not sure how to deal with him, causing them stress Ethan becomes more dependent on care and regaining independence is unlikely

And this won’t be more of the same, we’ll hold providers to high clinical standards to ensure delivery

These standards will set our aspirations for the future …

They emphasize the central role

  • f the GP in the coordination and

delivery of out of hospital care

They intentionally go beyond the current minimum contractual requirements of the GP contract

They are designed to address core primary care delivered by GP practices and broader set of care delivery outside of hospital

They aim to shift care delivery from more reactive unplanned care to more proactive planned care The standards are covered in four key domains

  • 1. Individual Empowerment & Self Care:

Individuals will be provided with up-to-date, evidence-based and accessible information to support them in taking personal responsibility when making decisions about their own health, care and wellbeing

  • 2. Access convenience and responsiveness:

Out-of-hospital care operates as a seven day a week service. Community health and care services will be accessible, understandable, effective and tailored to meet local needs.

Service access arrangements will include face-to-face, telephone, email, SMS texting and video consultation.

  • 3. Care planning and multi-disciplinary care delivery:

Individuals using community health and care will experience coordinated, seamless and integrated services using evidence-based care pathways, case management and personalised care planning.

Effective care planning and preventative care will anticipate and avoid deterioration of conditions

  • 4. Information and communications:

With an individual's consent, relevant parts of their health and social care record will be shared between care providers.

Monitoring will identify any changing needs so that care plans can be reviewed and updated by agreement. By 2015, all patients to have

  • nline access to their health records

We have identified areas we are making progress in the challenges we face and issues that still remain 1

General practice Hospital care Acute hospital at home care Planned care Health and social care teams Urgent care Responsive emergency care

Too many people going to A&E

Admission to hospital when care could be better at home C Support at discharge

Lack of support for patients leading hospital

Existing and new initiatives will address the issues we currently face and improve care for patients (1/2) 1

We are developing primary care by supporting GPs to improve access, improving education opportunities for clinicians, increasing GP access to consultants and increasing accountability for access and quality

A joined up system of 111, out of hours provision and the urgent care centre will direct patients to the right place in the system first time and stop inappropriate A&E attendances Our vision Easy access to high quality, responsive primary care Initiatives to deliver our vision A1 A2

The Integrated Community Response Service has been running since June 2011, supporting patients go home from A&E and wards

  • r stay at home

Ambulatory Care in the Community is a new service led by a consultant from WMUH to provide care needing consultant supervision in the community

A joint rehabilitation and reablement team will provide multi- disciplinary care at home for longer spells than the current service Rapid response to urgent needs so more people can be cared for at home C1 C2 Issue we faced

1 Existing and new initiatives will address the issues we currently face and improve care for patients (2/2)

Integrated care– to proactively manage long term conditions and other at risk groups

The Integrated Community Response Service and the joint rehabilitation and re-ablement team will create a more continuous transition from hospital to home Supported discharge into well

  • rganised

community care

SystmOne already enables more informed clinical decision making by letting GPs, the UCC view the same records: in future this will play a greater role in integrating care from all providers

Our end of life care programme is already supporting more people remain in their place of choice

Risk stratification, care planning and case conferences will increase the coherency of care and empower patients and carers

Care navigators will play a new role, supporting patients and joining up health and social care

Our goal is, all patients will “phone before they go”

All non-emergency calls out-of-surgery hours, made to 111

Patients who may need a home visit, referred to out-of- hours service

Some patients given advice on phone

Others seen at home by GP

Patients seen without a wait because they have booked an appointment

Their attendance recorded on their GP clinical system through SystmOne

Operators provide direct advice to some patients 111 Out-of-hours service UCC

Patients needing an appointment, but not a home visit, booked into UCC

Consultants in the community will play a key role, ensuring

  • ut of hospital care is of the highest standard

Clinical Networks are groups of local experts in a disease area, which includes consultants, GPs, patients and carers. Clinical networks currently exist for diabetes…

Non-medical as well as medical consultants play a key role, e.g., consultant social worker for dementia and consultant nurse in learning disabilities Consultant roles in

  • ut of hospital care

Ensure consistency and standards across the system

Provide leadership for clinical networks

Develop pathways for care

Provide guidance to clinicians

Provide clinical leadership on new developments in a disease area, such as new drugs Provide direct care for patients

Provide treatment for patients in community clinics

For example, we have a new consultant led community opthalmology service How they will do this Provide input into the care of individual patients

Advise other clinicians on treatment by phone or email

For example, mental health consultants are available from 12-2 to take calls from GPs on cases

Discuss cases at case conferences as part of multi- disciplinary groups: this will give experts from different fields the opportunity to input on a case

Grade 4/5 staff Care navigators will be…

Highly knowledgeable of local health and social care provision

Accessible to patients, carers and clinicians via the single point of access

Responsible for ensuring patient finds the right service

Proactive in contacting these patients and co-ordinating the care of high risk patients

Working with a care list of ~150 patients high risk based

  • n GP patient lists

Report to GP locality lead Next steps

Understand the economics of the care navigators in Hounslow, building

  • n successful

implementation of similar projects in i.e., Torbay and H&F

Agree numbers, process to create role and location in the Borough

Decide where care navigators would be located and who they would report to

Taking referrals from social services, GPs and hospital

Working with the voluntary sector and faith groups, which will play a role building networks of social support

How we will work together

1 Care will be clinically led and consistent, through the leadership

  • f clinical networks and GP triagers

3 Care will become more coordinated, through clinicians and social workers working together in multi-disciplinary team 5 Working together effectively will need new types of role and developing our existing staff in new ways 6 As we take activity into the community, we need to allocate both clinical and non-clinical space to this increased level of activity 4 Health and social care will be work together better because we they will share a single point of access, care navigators, the rehabilitation and reablement team and partnership in multi-disciplinary teams 2 All clinicians will be fully informed of all diagnoses and care a patient has received in the past 7th bullet on care planning /expert carers?

To realize our vision of increasing the quality and coordination of services there are a number of areas we need to address…

Develop GP leadership within Hounslow Develop our professionals and our

  • rganisation

Monthly dashboard showing performance and targets

Process for holding ourselves to account for these targets Agree on how we will be governed 3

Unified IT systems providing shared records leading to better patient care and transparency on performance Put in place the right information tools 4

Involve, consult and inform patients and carers Engage patients and carers 1

Align contracts and incentives of all providers, to ensure system-wide coherence of behaviour and spend Develop the right contracts and incentives 5

Requirements To be successful we need to…

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Patients should be able to expect to be involved, consulted and informed so they can take part in a dialogue around healthcare 1

Our commitment How we’ll deliver

We’ll create a patient engagement group, including GPs and practice managers will drive change

We’ll ensure that each locality will have a patient group

We will pilot an online consultation forum

We will hold events to consult on key issues, such as commissioning intentions and our Out of Hospital strategy, working in partnership with LINk (Health Watch) and other patient, user and carer groups

You’ll be consulted

We’ll set out the standards we are aiming for and report to you how the CCG, localities and individual practices / care providers are performing against them

We’ll explain what is changing, why it is changing, and how your input shaped decisions

You’ll be informed

You’ll be involved

The HCCG Board will have 2 patient representatives and meet in public

All local clinical networks will have a patient or public representative

slide-21
SLIDE 21

An expert carer programme will empower carers 1

Carers will be able to use support of care navigators, particularly for dementia patients meaning that carers will acquire greater expertise of how to provide and access care, based on the care plan

Carers will be involved in the development of care plans meaning that care stops being a series of dislocated events and becomes a continuous process
