1 Oncology Nurse Led Clinics An economic assessment of Breast Open Access follow up and Uro-Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist Clinics Understanding the service The Great Western Hospital Foundation Trust provides cancer services primarily to people living in Swindon and North Wiltshire. Predicted activity figures across all tumour sites demonstrates a steady rise in cancer diagnoses (Appendix 1 and 2). The number of people living with cancer is expected to increase from 2 million to 4 million by 2030 [National Cancer Survivorship Initiative (NCSI), 2013]. This means the number of people requiring specialist care and support will increase through the cancer pathway. The NHS Five Year Forward Report (2014) acknowledges, the healthcare system cannot remain in status quo but needs new models of care to support service delivery. The Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialist can help to improve the quality of life for people with cancer. They can also help empower patients to self-manage their conditions leading to reduced costs for health care providers through hospital appointments, emergency admissions and consultant time. The National Cancer Survivorship Initiative (NCSI) in collaboration with NHS England and Macmillan reviewed follow up practice and made recommendations on the stratified cancer pathway. The table below provides suggested pathways. 1

2 For the purpose of the economic assessment, the Breast and Uro-Oncology nurse led clinics were selected to undertake an economic assessment of the nurse-led clinics against traditional practice. Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) provide specialist advice and support for patients diagnosed with cancer acting as key worker in accordance with National Cancer Peer Review requirements. With an aging population and more people being diagnosed with cancer, the teams have developed their service to meet the needs of their patient population. CNSs are at the front-line of cancer care; they are the main point of contact for patients and as a result help to deliver personalised care for each patient according to need and patient choice, which contributes to wider cancer priorities. CNSs play an important role in enabling care to be delivered closer to home and in improving patients ability to self-manage symptoms and side-effects of treatment. The supportive care and information element of the Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialist role should not be underestimated in enhancing the patient experience. This includes providing support for the patient/carer at initial diagnosis, individualised information provision, assisting and supporting with treatment decision making, advice on management of symptoms and side effects, support and assistance with practical issues such as finance, providing emotional and basic (level 2) psychological support, signposting to specialised and support services providing continuity of care. Both during and at the end of treatment the CNS can provide holistic follow-up within a nurse-led clinic. The most recent national cancer strategy Achieving World Class Outcomes emphasizes the importance of the role of the cancer clinical nurse specialist and is the single most important factor for ensuring a positive patient experience. To support the increasing activity and pressures on traditionally medically led clinics, the CNS team have introduced nurse-led clinics to enhance efficiency in the pathway and patient experience. The team have the appropriate skill and education to provide the nurse-led clinic providing a more holistic assessment and ensuring all questions are answered meeting the patient s needs. This skill is acknowledged by the wider cancer multi-disciplinary teams (MDT) with the MDTs supportive of the clinical development. Whilst no additional CNS were recruited for the delivery of these clinics, the development of clinics would have been difficult if the team had not increased in size to support the increasing patient numbers. It is through improved efficiency in the clinical pathway that the team have been able to include this activity. The following are a summary of nurse led clinics held by the breast clinical nurse specialists. The clinic to be evaluated in the economic assessment is the breast open access follow-up (OAFU). Whilst the tariffs can be provided, it is evident following discussion with the finance team that the elements making up a tariff are not clearly known. With the OAFU clinic a specific tariff was negotiated with the local clinical commissioning group reflecting the time and activity provided in this clinic. 2

3 The nurse led clinics for Breast CNS: Clinic Frequency Activity Description Traditionally-led Breast Open Access follow-up clinic Weekly 5 patient slots 1hour each End of treatment summary, Holistic Needs Assessment Signposting to Living Well events Clinical Oncologist Surgeon annually for up to 5 years. Ad-hoc & virtual clinics As required Seroma drainage/surgical clinics Telephone clinics which stop a traditional outpatient appointment Surgeon Oncologist Breast Enhanced recovery clinicpre-operative assessment Weekly 45 minute slots 8 patients Clinic supporting enhanced recovery for breast surgery Surgeon The Uro-Oncology CNS nurse led clinics: The following are a summary of the range of nurse led clinics held by the urooncology clinical nurse specialists. For the focus of the economic evaluation, the prostate biopsy results clinic will be used.

4 Breast OAFU Clinic: In 2012, in line with the NCSI recommendations, the breast MDT with patient involvement, reviewed standard follow up practice for patients following adjuvant breast cancer treatment. Metastatic breast patients are not included in this pathway. Adjuvant follow-up included annual review by the surgical and oncology teams for 5 years. Most patients were discharged at this time but for some psychologically they preferred on going annual review to ensure access to the system if required. With the breast open access follow up clinic (OAFU), following the completion of adjuvant treatment (surgery, chemotherapy & radiotherapy) the patient is referred for an end of treatment summary, holistic needs assessment and signposting to living well events and support groups. The patient is given written information listing treatment to date and advice on symptoms that require rapid access back into the healthcare system. A telephone number is provided to call if required for an urgent appointment in the breast clinic within 2 weeks. This stops the follow up of adjuvant breast cancer patients on an annual basis in both the breast surgical clinics and oncology clinics for up to 5 years. This type of follow up reduces the anxiety associated with routine follow up and empowers the patient to access at time of need with symptoms of concern. Anecdotally recurrence is often diagnosed between routine appointments and results in a person requiring an additional appointment or people waiting with symptoms until the next follow up appointment. Whilst 18 patients have re-accessed the service to date no one was diagnosed with a recurrence. This correlates with national work where the figures are presumed small. Financially the nurse led service is cost effective, meets national guidance and has met the patients needs demonstrated in a patient experience survey and Family & Friends testing. There have been no complaints received nor any incidents reported for this service. One Band 7 CNS conducts the OAFU clinic but two other CNS are also skilled to conduct the clinic to ensure it is not cancelled at times of leave. The nurses have completed the breast care module at the Royal Marsden Hospital. These clinics require suitably trained specialist staff. The nurses do not receive any health care assistant support to run the clinic nor prep the notes. The CNS spends approximately 2 hours per week prepping clinics. The patient pathway facilitator supports the maintenance of the OAFU database, approximately 2 hours/week. For a small cost, a health care assistant supporting the clinic and note preparation would reduce CNS time. It would also provide equality in service provision. Support of medical clinics is a given within the Trust but not supported for nurse clinics providing similar activity. 4

5 Traditional Medical Follow-up Early Breast Cancer- Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy, Hormone treatment as required Open Access Follow-Up CNS led Early Breast Cancer- Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy, Hormone treatment as required Traditional follow-up: Annual outpatient appointment with Breast Surgeon (4 OPA) Annual outpatient appointment with Oncologist (4OPA) CNS may also be in attendance at this appointment. Open Access Follow-Up (OAFU) 1 Nurse led appointment (1hour) to complete End of Treatment Summary, Holistic Needs Assessment and signpost to living well/support groups Annually, 230 clinic slots released for both breast surgery and oncology allowing the consultant to see new patient/increasing activity. This will result in increased income for the Trust from new patient tariff. OAFU Tariff appointments weekly 164 x5= x46 clinics/year= Annual number of patients: 230 This is about efficiency in the pathway and the release of outpatient appointments for increasing predicted activity and the more complex patient pathway. This will increase service capacity allowing consultants to see more new patients and this comes with a higher tariff. Cost of a 3 hour consultant clinic (usual sessional clinic time- BMA reference cost) patients x 8 OPA (1 patient f/u OPA over 4 years) = 1840 appointments released for new patients. It is acknowledged the Trust and nationally we are seeing increasing predicted activity & more complex patient pathways. From 1 year of activity, 920 Breast surgery appointments released over 4 years 920 Breast oncology appointments released over 4 years. A small percentage of patients will reaccess the service. Cost for Breast OAFU clinic with HCA support 5

6 Key benefits of this innovation For those using the service: Enhanced patient experience Patient pathway meeting NCSI guidance supporting Living Well & National cancer strategies. Fewer appointments at the hospital, possibly reduction of 4 years follow-up. Psychological benefit allowing patient to move forward, live well & selfmanage. Holistic patient assessment To the healthcare system: Efficiency in pathway Enhanced tariff Release consultant time to see new patients improving access to service & receiving enhanced activity Cost effective service- right band/right skill New patient tariff from increasing activity and OPAs released for Consultant activity Quality service To the wider health and social care system: Appropriate tariff for OAFU clinic Release of consultant time to new or more complex patients. Increasing activity figures- support clinical demand. Key costs of this innovation: The set up and running costs are listed in more detail in Appendix 3 and 4 Set up costs Direct 6043 Indirect Nil Total 6043 Weekly Running costs with HCA support Training costs Breast Marsden Module 970 Nurse-led clinics conference 175 It should be acknowledged that these costs are listed in the set-up costs but the CNS requires this training for the specialist role. 6

7 Demand for this clinic is outstripping supply. The clinic currently has a 6 month waitlist which does not meet national recommendations. A further clinic is required. Uro-Oncology Clinics: The uro-oncology clinical nurse specialists have established numerous nurse-led clinics to support patient need and increasing patient numbers. The clinics have ensured timeliness of access to treatment for patients with urological cancers within national treatment target times. The prostate cancer biopsy clinic improves efficiency in the patient pathway, particularly and will be the focus of this economic assessment. The CNS provides the diagnosis and treatment options following multi-disciplinary team (MDT) discussion and arranges onward referral to appropriate team (urology or oncology). This is releasing consultant Urologist capacity to see more complex and new patients which brings additional revenue at a higher tariff. The CNS supports the patient decisionmaking to determine which clinic the patient returns (surgical or oncology). On average this improves the patient pathway and experience reducing timed pathway by 14 days. Cancer patients will be on a timed pathway subject to 31 & 62 day targets. The CNS clinic will on average release 2 outpatient consultant appointments improving capacity with the consultant clinics for the increasing activity and the more complex patient. The three nurse specialists can support any of the clinics to ensure cover throughout the year and at times of leave. The nurses do not receive any health care assistant support to run the clinic nor prep the notes. The CNS spends approximately 4 hours per week prepping all clinics that could be undertaken by a band 2 health care assistant. The prostate biopsy clinic takes up to one hour to prep. The tariffs have not been included for the uro-oncology clinics but following discussion with the finance team the breakdown of the tariff is not known. No specific tariffs have been negotiated for these clinics. 7

This is significant when considering patient numbers expected in the future. This would improve consultant clinic capacity and allow the doctor to see more complex or new patients. New patient appointments receive a higher tariff to follow up. To provide the clinics two of the CNS have completed the Royal Marsden Hospital Uro- Oncology module and attended the nurse-led clinic study day. Both staff are undertaking Master s programme. These clinics need suitably trained specialist staff. Key benefits of this innovation For those using the service: Enhanced patient experience Expedite patient pathway- reducing cancer diagnostic pathway for prostate cancer by 14 days & stopping 2 Urologist appointments. Holistic patient assessment 10

11 To the healthcare system: Two consultant appointments released Efficiency in pathway and possible reduction in cancer breaches. Patient pathway subject to 31 and 62 days cancer target. Release consultant time to see new or more complex patients improving access to service Cost effective service- right band/right skill New patient tariff from increasing activity and OPAs released for Consultant activity Quality of service To the wider health and social care system: Appropriate tariff Release of consultant time to new or more complex patients. Increasing activity figures - support clinical demand. Key costs of this innovation: The set-up and running costs for this clinic are listed in more detail in Appendix 3 and 4. Set-up Costs Direct 1106 Indirect Nil Total 1106 Weekly running costs With HCA support There is a potential for further savings by a health care assistant supporting the clinic and prepping notes. This would release 2 hours of a band 7 CNS time for clinical activity. Training costs GU Marsden module 970 Nurse-led clinics conference 175 This training is required as part of the specialist role and not specifically just for this clinic. 11

12 Conclusion: The running for each of the clinics incurs similar costs except for the difference in staffing costs and HCA support to the clinic. The weekly running costs have been compared with only the differences listed as per the running templates in Appendix 4. Where costs have been the same, they have not been included. Summary of clinic set-up and running costs Clinic type Traditional Medically led Consultant clinic Prostate Biopsy Clinic- Uro- Oncology CNS Breast OAFU clinic Breast CNS Cost for 3 hour clinic Set up costs Weekly running costs With HCA support: Not supported currently 158 Saving: & release 2 hours CNS time for clinical activity 654 This would potentially release 1 hour of CNS time to see an additional patient. Additional benefits Release 2 consultant appointments for new activity at a higher tariff. Reduction in follow-up appointments for possibly 4 years. Annual appointment with surgeon and oncologist cease. This releases consultant appointments for new activity at a higher tariff. Enhanced tariff for nurse-led clinic 12

13 The biggest impact from the nurse-led clinics is to the patient having a reduced timed pathway to treatment and also to the Consultants who will see the release of sessions each week for new & more complex patients. The Trust also benefits from additional revenue from the consultants seeing more new patients at a higher tariff. Feedback from patient survey s and from family & friends testing for nurse-led clinics has been very positive with all comments positively acknowledging the holistic and comprehensive assessment supporting shared decision-making. Whilst comparison of outcomes demonstrates more patients are reviewed in the medical clinic, the medical clinic will see a wider variety of specialty patients including non-cancer and cancer patients. For patients with a cancer diagnosis, the feedback to date suggests, that the outcomes from a nurse-led clinic experience is equivalent with having health care needs met but with more quality time having concerns listened to and supported. The patients in nurse-led clinics are reviewed earlier in the pathway in comparison to a medical pathway. No complaints or incidents have been noted in these clinics suggesting outcomes for both types of clinics are similar and worthy of comparison. The economic assessment has demonstrated the value of nurse-led clinics providing a service positively evaluated by patients that is value for money. Clinical teams also value the support of nurse led clinics and the time this releases for more complex patients and new patients. Clinical Nurse Specialist clinics improve quality of the service, release capacity in medical clinics and generate income via tariff. Recommendations: Where additional clinics are required; Trusts to recognise value of nurse led clinic and not default to further medical services. For this economic assessment to be repeated across all oncology clinical nurse specialist clinics An additional OAFU clinic be resourced to meet patient demand allowing appropriate capacity Health care assistant support provided for all nurse led clinics to improve efficiency and ensure right staff with right skill doing the job. 13
