1 Diagnostics: An NHS England Perspective Tony Newman-Sanders MA FRCR FRCP National Clinical Director - Diagnostics NHS England RIS PACS Conference. Monday 4 th December

2 Overview 1. NHS England Strategic objectives and policy drivers 2. NCD wider role and relations 3. Digital Diagnostics 4. The transformative role of technology 5. Summary 2

3 The Five Diagnostic Pillars Approximately 1 billion diagnostic tests undertaken each year, circa 8 billion on NHS spend. Diagnostic services are currently categorized into 5 pillars based on similarities in primary function or measurement techniques. Within this there are over 100 discrete areas of service provision which are often viewed and treated as separate service entities despite common cross-cutting issues and involvement of multiple diagnostic services in care pathways. Imaging / Radiology For example, X- Ray, MRI and Ultrasound Determining body structures using a variety of nonionising and ionising radiation Mainly delivered in hospitals, including for primary care, and in delivering some therapeutic interventions, some private provision for NHS Pathology Services For example, biochemistry, and histopathology testing Assessment of body composition, microbial assessment and therapeutic markers through blood, cellular and tissue samples Mainly delivered by hospital labs, including for primary care - some near-patient testing Genetics & Genomics Analysing the genetic code. From single gene testing and arrays to full genomes, and other functional genomic investigations, for example RNA and transcriptomics. Primarily delivered through regional genetic laboratories Physiology For example, audiology, respiratory and cardiac Measuring the performance of aspects of the body s function and the restoration of function Mainly delivered in hospitals, some directly in primary care, by 8 different clinical specialities Endoscopy For example, bronchoscopy and colonoscopy Optical examination of the inside of the body, sometimes linked to therapeutic procedures Primarily delivered in hospitals 3

4 Diagnostic landscape The strategic importance of diagnostics: The Five Year Forward View sets out the aim of accelerating useful health innovation and taking steps to speed up innovation in diagnostics. However, the 2nd Atlas of Variation in NHS Diagnostic Services in England highlights significant geographical variation and inequality in access to diagnostic tests and investigations (in some tests up to a [50 fold] difference), which can be linked to poor outcomes in some conditions including cancer in local populations Five Year Forward View like. The Atlas of Variation in NHS Diagnostic Delivering the Forward View Services in England brings together information Diagnostics is reflected in: on geographical variation in diagnostic testing. NHS England Mandate highlights wide geographical variation in levels of NHS planning guidance 2016/17 service provision, efficiency and quality. 2020/21 The NHS England s business plan Both the 1 st (2013) and 2 nd Atlas (Jan 2017) for 2016/17 highlight significant geographical variation and NHS Operational Planning inequality in access, which can be linked to poor Contracting Guidance outcomes in some conditions. This is despite Diagnostics are key to the delivery of a recommendations for the investigations by NICE number of key priorities across the NHS: and in other guidelines Cancer. Mental health and dementia Many of the reasons for variation in service Learning disabilities provision are common to all disciplines across Diabetes diagnostic services, such as patterns of disease They are vital in: prevalence, the availability of a trained workforce the drive towards Seven Day and local custom and practices, whereas others Services are different, arising from the differences in the Delivering the Urgent and nature of the specific interventions and tests. Emergency Care agenda. Accelerating innovation in new Whilst the 2 nd Atlas provides some key data on ways of delivering care variation, it was not possible to update data on pathology and genetics services. 4

5 Strategic importance The importance of diagnostics in addressing wider issues: Several reviews of the NHS and the health care system more widely have identified national and global issues and opportunities, that can only be tackled with concerted improvement of our diagnostic services Achieving World Class Cancer Outcomes - The Independent Cancer Taskforce noted that science has advanced to a point where we can increasingly predict the risk of developing cancer, the response to treatment and the overall prognoses for cancer patients using molecular diagnostics. It called for an increase in molecular diagnostic provision. Carter s Review of Operational productivity and performance in English NHS acute hospitals - Estimated that unwarranted variation in non-specialist acute hospitals is worth 5bn in efficiency opportunities and variation in diagnostic efficiency and productivity is contributing to this (~ 200m in pathology). Review on Antimicrobial Resistance, O Neill- New rapid diagnostics are needed to identify whether a patient will benefit from an antimicrobial and whether clinicians are dealing with a resistant strain. Building our Industrial Strategy and Accelerated Access Review - Recommendations on how to accelerate access for NHS patients to innovative medicines, medical technologies, diagnostics. NHS England Priorities : Urgent and Emergency Care Review Seven Day Services Referral to Treat / waiting times Early diagnosis Learning disabilities and mental health Personalised Medicine 5

6 Vision personalised medicine The overarching vision is to align our approach to diagnostics to support the move towards personalised medicine Imaging Biochemical & biomarker data Tissue samples Physiological tests Genomic sequence data Individualised and integrated diagnostic and clinical phenotype at one point in time and over time Multi-omics information Eg metabolomics, epigenetics Clinical, population, social, economic data Leading to the best use of medicines, supporting better patient outcomes and efficiencies 6

7 Diagnostic Policy Areas Quality Accreditation Point of Care AMR. Response to O Neill Report 7 Day Services with focus on USS, MRI, echocardiography and interventional radiology Cancer. 28 day referral to diagnosis/exclusion Referral to treatment; 62 day Identifying optimal pathway e.g. Lung CT Straight to Test Colonoscopy / Colorectal CT scan Senior Clinical Triage Digital Diagnostics Models of Service provision and underpinning Commissioning models. 7

8 Accreditation ISAS is a patient-focused assessment and accreditation program designed to help diagnostic imaging services ensure that their patients consistently receive high quality services, delivered by competent staff working in safe environments. NHS England has outlined its strong position towards accreditation of diagnostic services by publishing a position statement. It remains committed to, and strongly endorses participation of diagnostic services in the ISAS scheme. UKAS assesses imaging services against the ISAS Standard and ensures that required standards are maintained through regular monitoring. An enhanced package of pre-application support is available to all services, as well as an optional staged pathway to accreditation during the initial assessment. CQC explicitly recognises the assurance of ISAS as part of their inspections 8

9 The 7DS Programme has a priority clinical standard to ensure that key diagnostic tests are available to all patients admitted to hospital in an emergency by 2020 Standard 5 Timely access to diagnostics: Hospital inpatients must have scheduled seven-day access to diagnostic services. Consultant-directed diagnostic tests and completed reporting will be available seven days a week within 1 hour for critical patients, 12 hours for urgent patients and 24 hours for non-urgent patients CT Test Microbiology Ultrasound Echocardiography Upper GI endoscopy MRI Haematology, biochemistry Actions to ensure delivery Ensure weekend capacity meets weekend demand. None required, although be aware of new acute micro tests becoming available in next few years to help reduce AMR. Training and recruitment of more sonographers, and in some specialties such as obstetrics and gynaecology, skill-sharing with other related acute professions. HEE plans to train appropriate acute staff, including cardiology trainees as part of their sub-specialty training, to use echo as part of their range of skills, but it will take longer than two years for staff with these skills to be in place across all hospitals. Separate work also needed to ensure that all hospitals with on-site cardiology services have echo-trained cardiologists on site over weekends. Encourage trust to build in weekend emergency capacity locally or via a network (noting that the emergency endoscopy capacity must be on same site as the acutely bleeding patient). Provide clarification for the survey of indications and encourage networked provision (usually patient can travel by ambulance if necessary). All basic acute tests already available. No action required.

15 Digital Imaging Data The DID compiles record-level data from NHS Radiology Information Systems (RIS) relating to diagnostic imaging activity in hospitals in England. It fulfils a requirement from the Government s 2011 Improving Outcomes: A Strategy for Cancer to collect data on GP usage of key tests for cancer, to benchmark and improve access for early diagnosis. The data are collected by NHS Digital on a monthly basis. They are linked to Hospital Episodes Statistics for fuller analysis of acute secondary care pathways. NHS users may apply for access to the DID via NHS Digital s iview reporting tool. Details of this and the collection are at: Results are analysed and published by NHS England in provisional monthly summary reports and a final annual release, at: The DID captures information about the: Test, including type of test and body site (using NICIP and/or SNOMED CT coding schemes); Patient, including demographics and identifiers for linkage to other datasets; Referral source, eg GP direct access, outpatient, A&E and referrer details; Waits, eg from date of request to date of test and period from test to the report being issued; Organisation, the hospital provider, GP practice and commissioner.
