Acute kidney injury facts – why it matters

• Up to100,000 deaths a year are associated with acute

kidney injury

• Up to 33% of those deaths could be avoided
• 1 in 5 people admitted to hospital as an emergency has

acute kidney injury

• The NHS is the first health system in the world to tackle

acute kidney injury

• 60% of acute kidney injury starts in the community
• £500 million the additional cost to the NHS of acute kidney

injury is estimated at each year

Bath and North East Somerset CCG aim to reduce the incidence of AKI occurring in primary care by

1. Education of healthcare staff to raise awareness of AKI and Think Kidneys 2. Encouraging the use of the Think Kidneys resources across the whole health economy to improve the care of people at risk of AKI 3. Supporting GP practices develop local practice care plan processes for people who are discharged from hospital following an AKI event 4. Raising awareness of AKI throughout the residents of B&NES using Think Kidneys resources and the appropriate use of self-care strategies such as ‘sick day guidance’

• AKI bulletin has been mailed to all GP practices and practice pharmacists
• AKI at the next cluster meeting 20th October 2016 to action plan in practice

strategies, with topic experts invited

There are 3 AKI priority topics to discuss and plan practice actions

• Topic 1: Care planning for patients who have been discharged after

an AKI event

• Topic 2: Managing AKI care and how to respond to AKI Warning

Stage test results

• Topic 3: Identifying people at risk of AKI and minimising risk

Ambitious timing today so be realistic about the detail – aim for a plan that can be worked up back at practice level. This is not a quick fix issue. How can the CCG help your practice to deliver these activities? Tell us

• n your planning feedback

To help you start do this we have topic experts in the room

• Dr Albert Power – Consultant Nephrologist, NBT
• Dr Andrew Taylor – Consultant Biochemist, RUH
• Dr Richard Brown – Avon LPC to represent community pharmacists

and Practice Pharmacists – they can help with risk identification and sick day guidance Care Home Pharmacists – will be delivering an AKI educational bundle to all homes, joined up with the existing UTI education in Jan 2017. They will link this to the GP practice NH lead

How can the CCG help your practice to deliver these activities? Tell us on your planning feedback

The Cake Is Too Small

Cluster meeting 20th October 2016

CCG Budget

What you overspend in one year you have to recoup the next. So if you delay making hard choices, you make the choices harder

For us as we stand

• Total budget £230m
• Target Surplus £2.3m
• Forecast is deficit of £3.5m if we do nothing

= £5.8m off Target

• Solutions expected to deliver £1.2 – 2.2m
• Gap of £3.6 – 4.8m to cover in 5 months

Why are we in difficulty

Rise in Emergency Admissions Rise in Outpatient Referrals Funded Nursing Care Increased by 40%

So what?

What would it mean for you?

• Difficult conversations with patients

– Why can’t I have this anymore?

• Money and performance are key

– Quality?

• Less control for CCG leadership
• Which means

– Focus on cost reduction NOT on investment – Reduction in services – Less ability to shift resources – Short term not long term

So what has CCG done?

• Relocated Walk in Centre
• MSK referrals via OIS
• ISTC contract cost per case
• High cost drugs cost control at RUH
• Negotiated AWP to take risk on out of area

placements

• Audits on compliance Criteria Based access
• Reviewed running costs

But …

We have invested 160k Winter Pressures
