Away from the past to a sustainable future? A National Challenge A Local Response
From Clinical Commissioning to Accountable Care via Population Health Management & Integration
Strategic Intent: clinically led, innovative service re-design focused on an integrated model of care, planned and co-ordinated around the needs of patients and families. Time after Time* Health Policy Implications of a Three-Generation Case Study (*Sayer and Lee, NEJM Oct 2014) Three key messages Reorganize care around achieving value for patients and that we have to do it in more thoughtful and strategic ways Plan and deliver on wider system than just traditional health boundaries Think about the longer term investments
Understanding our population health: a managed approach Within Camden there are many influencing factors that impact on the health of our population.
Our response: An integrated system underpinned Population Health Management Tools Key Messages Data available to health planners is available in aggregate form or shared by patients with individual clinicians. Our Population Health Management toolset describes service utilisation as a proxy for health needs of the local population by developing groupings based on similar health needs that can influence pathway redesign. This helped bridge the gap between aggregate and patient level information to drive down variation in the quality of care and costs, while improving outcomes. The most complex segment (most right) comprises of only 1.21% of the population for 13% of overall spend. Source: SUS, Disease Register Flag
Putting the information to work: value of the health and social care MDT approach Sayer-NEJM Catalyst 2016 Benefit to the patient: Increased time spent at home 72% of patients spent the same amount or more time at home following MDT case management. Benefit to the CCG: Secondary care savings An estimated 560k has been realised in secondary care savings since the MDT began. Emergency admissions average monthly saving 2014 is 25,770 Value and the MDT Benefit to the Provider: Fewer emergency beddays An 18% reduction in emergency beddays for these patients. This extra capacity can be used to treat elective patients who actually need to be in hospital. A&E average monthly saving 2014 is 1140
Impact: How has the outcome landscape changed? 2011/12 2014/15 Source: NHS Right Care, CCG Spend and Outcome tool
Impact: Patient experience measures A wide range of patient experience outcome measures are monitored in the toolset. From our work, it is clear that experience most patients are directly affected by is their experience of primary care where most healthcare contacts take place The data taken from the latest GP survey shows most practices in Camden meeting or exceeding England s performance.
Population Health Management Planning Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions Potential Savings Over the last three years the cost to Camden CCG for admissions relating to Ambulatory Care Sensitive (ACS) conditions was 55.8 million. The patients that were admitted for ACS fall into 3 of the segments within the population health management tool; LTC patients who need regular management and / or monitoring Patients without LTC with limited potential to use secondary care LTC patients with high potential to use secondary care most complex Costs vary from 442 per admission for the least complex to 5,796 for the most complex patients. Of the most complex patients : 74% had at least one admissions for an ACS condition 44% had two or more admissions Main Segment LTC patients who need regular management and / or monitoring Patients without LTC with limited potential to use secondary care LTC patients with high potential to use secondary care most complex Population in this segment Total Cost of Emergency ACS conditions Admissions per patient 4,609 2,036,278 1.2 442 50,903 35,862,151 1.8 705 Cost ACS admissions per person in the segment 3,001 17,395,263 2.7 5,796 *List of Ambulatory care conditions can be found here https://indicators.hscic.gov.uk/download/impact%20on%20nhs%20resources/specification/19_acs.pdf
Whole system approach: Diabetes Value Based Contract The response to our local population health challenge was to implement the Camden Diabetes Integrated Practice Unit (IPU). Our local monitoring measures the impact of key metrics. The data shows prevalence increasing and the number of unplanned admissions decreasing. This impact can also be seen at a national level with Camden falling within the top performing category in the recently published clinical indicators. No. of unplanned admissions for Hypo/Hyperglycaemia No. of Adults Diagnosed with Diabetes C Top Performing C
Towards Accountable Care delivering the Camden Local Care Strategy Partnership aim: Health and care services will work together with local people to provide coordinated, proactive, accessible, good quality care in order to improve the health and well being of people in Camden. Shared outcomes: Reduce health inequalities, prevent early death, improve service users access to care, improve service users experience of care, enhance residents quality of care Enablers: Integrated Digital Health and Care Records Camden s model of care emphasises the importance of care coordination and integrated multidisciplinary working. An accountable care entity is well placed to deliver such a model of care.
