Enc 11/10f Subject: Meeting: NHSMK CQUIN Schemes MK Commissioning Board Date of Meeting: 13 December 2011 Report of: Alison Jamson, Head of Quality & Clinical Standards NHSMK&N Commissioning Support Hub 1. Purpose of Paper The purpose of this paper is to: provide the MK Commissioning Board with an overview of the current CQUIN Schemes in place in 2011/12 make recommendation on the suggested course of for each of these schemes seek agreement on the content of CQUIN schemes for 2012/13 prior to further development 2. Background In the past CQUIN (the mechanism to financially incentivise quality improvement by providers) has run parallel to the main contracting process, and as a result has not always helped us apply focus to the big areas of change we want to see happen. For 2012/13 CQUIN will be fully integrated in the contracting process and will be used to leverage improvement in key areas. We anticipate aligning CQUIN rewards to fewer, more impactful areas where we want to see quality improvement. 3. Current CQUIN s 3.1 MKFT Table 1 provides a summary of the current CQUIN indicators included in the 2011-12 contract with and a suggested for each indicator where possible has been provided for consideration the board.

Improve training 2. Improve investigation processes and share learning from these 3. Maintain the low levels of pressure ulcers reported during 2010/11 To ensure the safety and wellbeing of those patients who are less able to protect themselves from harm, neglect or abuse, for example, due to impaired mental capacity, physical or learning disability or frailty brought about by age.

The service will offer early intervention and work closely with primary, secondary and tertiary care in relation to the management for people in early stage of dementia (all ages) by March 2012. Move this CQUIN to quality schedule but consider how to incorporate national CQUIN on dementia care 3.3 MK Community Services Table 3 provides a summary of the current CQUIN indicators included in the 2011-12 contract with MKCHS and a suggested for each indicator where possible has been provided for consideration by the Board.

Keep with Further stretch 4.0 CQUIN Schemes for 2012-13 for consideration 4.1 Operating Framework The 2012/13 Operating Framework stated that the amount that providers can earn has been increased to 2.5% on top of actual outturn contract value. The two national goals on VTE risk assessment and on responsiveness to personal needs of patients will continue with the addition of a third goal on improving diagnosis of dementia in hospitals and a fourth goal to incentivise the use of the NHS Safety Thermometer. A minimum of 0.5% of the 2.5% must be applied to the nationally mandated CQUIN schemes. Where a CQUIN scheme has been used previously to achieve a higher standard of quality, that funding may be made recurrent through CQUIN only where the commissioner is satisfied it is the necessary means to maintain the improvement. All providers subject to a standard national community contract will be eligible for involvement with CQUIN schemes. 4.2 CQUIN Scheme Proposals CQUIN paper Dec 11 AJ Page 6 of 9
Description of indicator Rationale for inclusion Main Provider Applied to Suggested Value VTE Assessment Nationally Mandated CQUIN 0.125% Patient Experience Improving diagnosis of dementia in hospitals Incentivise the use of the NHS Safety Thermometer. Right care, right place (Unplanned Care) Right care, right place Nationally Mandated CQUIN - Learning from patient experience is a key mechanism for learning and receiving assurance about the quality of care provided. This CQUIN will be applicable to all providers Nationally mandated CQUIN MKFT to work jointly with MHS to develop process which will ensure assessment and diagnosis of patients presenting with clinical signs/symptoms of dementia leading to an improvement in the timely diagnosis of people with dementia. Nationally Mandated CQUIN - The Safety Thermometer is the central data collection tool for measuring baseline information about risk assessment, risk management and outcomes for each of the four harms being focussed on by safety express to include zero tolerance to pressure ulcers and build on the work started in 2011/12. This CQUIN will be applicable to all providers Reduce clinically unnecessary nonelective admissions to ensure that patients are receiving the right care, in the right place at the right time.

Paediatric Services ensure integrated service between community and inpatient services With the mandated implementation of MHPbR, 2012-13 will be a critical year of transition from block contracting to payment by results To include: 1. Antibiotic stewardship - this is an important contributor to the reduction of health care associated infections 2. Insulin prescribing to ensure prescribing inline with NICE guidance 3. Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) training of patients discharged on LMWH enables patients to undertake an active role in the management of their health care needs and reduces the need for additional involvement by district nurses MK is defined by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) as having a high prevalence of HIV. There is evidence from the HPA that more than one quarter of individuals with HIV are unaware of their infection. Milton Keynes has a high late diagnosis rate with audit evidence that 12% of the newly diagnosed individuals in 2009 had missed the opportunity for earlier diagnosis whilst inpatient at Milton Keynes hospital.
