Why change? GPs, local clinicians, patients and carers highlighted some difficulties in service provision leading to inconsistencies and inequitable services. East Sussex Better Together programme (ESBT). Ambitious plan for transformational change, to improve and better integrate community based health and social care. Key features of the bid reflect fundamental principles of ESBT, integrated services designed around the patient and localities and emphasis on delivering proactive care. The need to recognise patients geographical flows to and from secondary care working across organisational boundaries to improve access to joined up services, and improve discharge from acute care for patients and carers with seamless transition to step down community based care.
Working together
How we re going to improve services Quality care is our top priority. Safe transition of services. Clarity and support for staff. Commitment to increase staffing levels. Working with East Sussex Better Together and third sector. Communities of practice bringing primary and community care together.
What are Communities of Practice? Based around GP practice populations. Care is closer to home. Professionals move to deliver care. Clinics are in the community not tied to one location. Multi-agency, multidisciplinary working. Moving from dependent to independent. Appropriate therapeutic interventions.
What will be different? For patients: Improved signposting. Tell my story once. Co-ordinated care. Outcomes to achieve what matters to me. Individualised and personalised care. Care closer to home. For staff: CoP team contributes to shared outcomes. Shared knowledge amongst primary, community and secondary care. Reduced duplication between practice and community nursing. Common assessment framework.
Performance The Balanced Scorecard supports the Board in ensuring that operational performance is aligned with delivery of our strategy.
