Place based transformation Nick Ville Policy Director 10 th November 2015 GOV.UK/monitor
Our approach to managing health and care is changing A place based approach is not new Joint Strategic Needs Assessments NHS Atlas of Variation But there is a growing emphasis on optimising service systems and care pathways* rather than service units: Increasing amount of planning and joint working at whole health and care system level Emergence of new care models that promote integration and system working Devolution to Greater Manchester and more bids in the pipeline Initial diagnosis Referral & community triage First specialist input Outpatients & pre-op assessment Inpatient pre-op care Surgery Inpatient post-op care Follow-up postdischarge Ongoing communitybased care * ie systems thinking 2
.And the health and care landscape is changing in response The picture is still emerging but likely to be some combination of: Locally integrated services: PACS, MCP, ACO, ICO etc Chains or networks of acute and/or integrated services Single specialty networks or franchises (eg cancer, cardiology, ophthalmology, mental health, orthopaedics, women and children s services) Enabled by: Contracting models eg lead provider Partnerships Joint ventures Mergers 3

But there remain significant local challenges to work through.. 1) Getting agreement of partners & stakeholders to a shared vision and implementing it The governance of this is not easy.particularly if some orgs are losing out 2) Ensuring that the use of health and care resources is optimised system-wide Changing organisational boundaries and forms is not enough on its own. 3) Doing the day job whilst enabling transformation Services still need to be delivered whilst creating the space and resources to transform 4) Agreeing what footprint comprises a local system. Not always clear what the optimal footprint should be... What further national action might help? 7
