3 1 Funding Guidelines 2017/ Background The Western & Central Melbourne Integrated Cancer Service (WCMICS) is funded by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and is part of the Victorian Cancer Clinical Network (VCCN), which is composed of three metropolitan and five regional Integrated Cancer Services (ICS), plus one statewide paediatric ICS. In accordance with VCCN aims and objectives, WCMICS overarching role is to work with its constituent health services (listed below) to reduce inappropriate variation in cancer care, as well as to improve quality of care and patient outcomes within these organisations. The principal aim of the WCMICS Funding Program is to provide seed funding for innovative quality improvement and/or service redesign projects undertaken at our constituent health services that will improve cancer patient outcomes. Currently, WCMICS works through seven constituent public health services: Melbourne Health Royal Women's Hospital Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre St Vincent's Health Melbourne Western Health Werribee Mercy Hospital Djerriwarrh Health Services 1.2 WCMICS Strategic Plan The WCMICS Strategic Plan sets out the overarching goals and objectives of WCMICS. The strategic plan has been amended to align with the priorities set out in the new Victorian Cancer Plan The WCMICS Strategic Plan is a key enabler to the provision of consistent and integrated multidisciplinary cancer care and quality improvement of care delivery services across western and central Melbourne. The WCMICS Strategic Goals (Table 1) as set out in the WCMICS Strategic Plan are: Table 1 Strategic Themes Strategic Goals Consumer Partnerships: Transition: Care Coordination: Information: To further enhance the partnership of consumers in the WCMICS work program. To ensure efficient and effective access into and transition out of WCMICS health services for cancer care To facilitate the continued improvement in coordination, quality and consistency of care for cancer patients in WCMICS health services To facilitate WCMICS health services to provide timely, useful and culturally sensitive information for cancer patients The 2017/18 WCMICS Funding Program provides funding streams for; service improvement projects which address areas of the WCMICS Strategic Plan and Victorian Cancer Plan Secondly projects that reference relevant areas of the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards, which support implementation of the Optimal Care Pathways (OCP) for the Osophogogastric and Prostate tumour streams, or innovative improvement projects for any tumour stream and or cancer services. The 2017/18 funding program will also prioritise projects and initiatives that improve clinical outcomes and experience of WCMICS Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) populations. Funding allocation will be determined by the overall pool of applications. Applications must address generic and specific criteria, as set out in these guidelines, to successfully attain funding. The WCMICS funding program provides opportunities for innovative, multi-institution based project applications designed to have a high impact on the quality of patient care and experience, and strongly encourages collaborative approaches to improvement projects. WCMICS can assist with facilitating this collaboration through its Tumour Groups and constituent health services leads. WCMICS Funding Program 2017/18 3

4 1.3 Overview The WCMICS funding program provides health services with funding to support projects aimed at reducing variation of clinical practice and cancer care. The program encourages effective partnerships and collaboration between other health providers and consumers; to improve coordination, accessibility and quality of care provided to better support all patients affected by cancer. Applications for funds are open to Tumour Groups, individual health services or multiple health services (with a lead health service clearly designated) to support the implementation of service improvements, which are within the remit of the ICS. Work will need to commence as soon as possible and acknowledge the lead-in time required to recruit project staff. The WCMICS Funding Program also identifies priority areas for improvement annually. This year the priority areas set out in (Table 2) link to further areas of focus discussed in detail in section 3: Priorities and Focus Areas for 2017/18. Table 2 WCMCIS Funding Program 2017/18; Priority Areas: Oesophagogastric (OG) cancer Optimal Care Pathway (OCP) implementation Prostate cancer OCP implementation Outcomes and experience for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) and Vulnerable groups Other tumour streams / innovative ideas Project funds will only be awarded for sustainable service development initiatives. Applicants will be required to incorporate clear evaluation measures into their project design, to ensure sustainable change in service provision. These will be measured on commencement and completion. 1.4 Funding Availability The total funds available under the WCMICS 2017/18 Funding Program will be allocated for WCMICS Tumour Group/health service projects, based on individual applications. Tumour Groups/health services may submit more than one funding submission. It should be noted that the total funding will be allocated based on: the project application criteria consideration of local priorities identified within the application individual merit There are no criteria for the amount of funding that can be applied for within an individual application however applicants should be mindful that this funding pool is for all health services and Tumour Groups within WCMICS. 1.5 Application Process & Project Endorsement In the first instance all applications must be submitted to WCMICS via the Director of Cancer Services or a nominated representative as listed in Table 3. The lead health service is responsible for submitting and amending all application, using the attached Expression of Interest (EOI) template (Appendix 2: Expression of Interest template). If an application is to proceed, applicants will then be invited to submit a full proposal which must conform to the prescribed format, and all components of the form must be completed in order for the application to be considered by the panel for funding. A separate EOI must be completed for every project submitted for consideration of funding. WCMICS Funding Program 2017/18 4

7 3 Priorities and Focus Areas for 2017/18 Implementation of the Oesophagogastric (OG) and Prostate Optimal Care Pathways (OCP) are flagged for roll out in 2017/18 and these tumour streams have been prioritised for funding during this year s funding program. Other tumour streams that will be considered favourably are the lung, colorectal, ovarian and breast tumour streams, to support the implementation and sustainability of the 2016/17 OCP implementation projects. The 2017/18 funding program will also prioritise projects and initiatives that improve clinical outcomes and experience of WCMICS Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) populations and other vulnerable groups. Note: Applications will not be excluded from non-ocp implementation tumour streams or cancer service areas not prioritised in the 2017/18 funding program guidelines. All projects will be assessed against the generic funding program guideline criteria. All projects will be considered for funding when considering innovative approaches to improving patient experience / patient outcomes / treatment modalities / access to care and wait times. Please review the below focus areas when considering your health service applications for the WCMICS funding program 2017/ Oesophagogastric (OG) OCP Focus areas 2017/18 The OG focus areas have been established from the OG Tumour Summit. The summit took place in Melbourne on the 26/08/2016, and reviewed variations in care and identified opportunities to improve outcomes and experience of care. Each of the below focus areas have been identified as a key area for improvement with the implementation of the OG OCP to improve outcomes. Through prioritising OG OCP implementation in 2017/18, we aim to demonstrate an impact at a health systems level through improved outcomes and reducing unwanted clinical variation for people diagnosed with OG cancer Timeliness of care, from referral to health services to treatment Coordination of care for OG patients Access to MDMs for all OG patients particularly regional access to MDMs and establishing regional links Timeliness of referrals to palliative care. Prostate OCP Focus areas 2017/18 The prostate tumour stream focus areas have been established from the Prostate Tumour Summit. The summit took place in Melbourne on the 27/05/2016, and reviewed variations in care and identified opportunities to improve outcomes and experience of care. Each of the below focus areas have been identified as a key area for improvement with the implementation of the prostate OCP to improve outcomes. Through prioritising the prostate OCP implementation in 2017/18, we aim to demonstrate an impact at a health systems level through improving outcomes and reducing unwanted clinical variation for people diagnosed with OG cancer Supportive care for men with prostate cancer Access to MDMs for all prostate cancer patients particularly improving links for regional patients WCMICS Funding Program 2017/18 7

8 3.3 Outcomes and experience for CALD and Vulnerable groups The WCMICS region has one of the fastest growing populations in Victoria and makes up around 18% of Victoria s total population. The WCMICS region is characterised by its relatively high levels of socioeconomic disadvantage and multicultural diversity and CALD population. The 2011 Australian Bureau of Statistics census shows that roughly 36.6% of the WCMICS population speak a language other than English at home. Through prioritising the improvement of outcomes and experience of care for CALD and vulnerable groups within WCMICS we aim to; improve access to cancer services for CALD and vulnerable groups. This can be achieved through consumer partnerships and evidence based practice change at a local level. Vulnerable groups include but are not limited to: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and/or Culturally and linguistically diverse communities and/or People who are socioeconomically disadvantaged and/or People with a mental health problem The 2017/18 funding program focus areas are: Outcomes and experience of cancer care for CALD and Vulnerable groups Access to cancer services for CALD and vulnerable groups Other tumour streams / innovative ideas Applications will not be excluded from non-ocp implementation tumour streams or cancer service areas not prioritised in the 2017/18 funding program guidelines. All projects will be assessed against the generic funding program guideline criteria. All projects will be considered for funding when considering innovative approaches to improving patient experience / patient outcomes / treatment modalities / access to care and waiting times. Tumour streams that will also be considered favourably are the lung, colorectal, ovarian and breast tumour streams, to support the implementation and sustainability of the 2016/17 OCP implementation projects. The 2017/18 funding program focus area for other tumour streams / innovative ideas: Innovative approach to improve patient experience / patient outcomes / treatment modalities / access to care and waiting times within cancer care WCMICS Funding Program 2017/18 8

9 4 Selection Criteria for WCMICS Funding Program All project applications will be evaluated for compliance with the WCMICS Funding Guidelines 2017/18 and assessed for merit, using the selection criteria outlined in these funding guidelines.
