Opportunities The NHS is one of the best places in the world to test innovations that involve staff, technology and funding We must combine different technologies and ways of working to transform delivery of care (primary care/all health & social care settings) The information revolution is changing the way patients can engage in their own healthcare 3

Targeting TECS at conditions & shared management Multiple Single Preventing
Driving integrated care via delivery of best practice care for long term conditions via patient empowerment, integration & innovation Best clinical practice & shared management Improved QUALITY of clinical care Tech 10
The Advice & Interactive Messaging (AIM) programme national rollout March 2013- September 2014 Uses a simple telehealth system ( Florence or Flo ) to help patients to take responsibility for the monitoring and shared management of their own condition, treatment, or lifestyle

Evidence of effectiveness published in: BMJ open access 13
Techniques employed for behaviour change via Flo: individual feedback on personal health measures social support Flo information on consequences of behaviour information on tailoring behaviour tailoring selected messages to patient, timing, frequency goal setting (behaviour, outcomes) relapse prevention follow up prompts clinician overview giving assurance, titrating treatment prompted self monitoring of behaviour (Free C, Phillips G, Galli L et al. The effectiveness of mobile-health technology based health behaviour.. PLOS Medicine 2013; 10 (1) )
Hypertension protocols Reminder protocols Smoking cessation protocols AIM01: Diagnosis of hypertension (1 week) AIM04: Inhaler reminders for adults/teens with asthma or COPD (3 months) AIM 06: within first 4 weeks of supported stop smoking service provision (3 months) AIM02: Hypertension monitoring poor control or newly diagnosed (2 months) AIM05: Inhaler reminders for parent of child with asthma (3 months) AIM07: smokers who have quit, end of three months quit smoking service (9 months) AIM03: Hypertension monitoring stable BP (3 months) AIM10: Hypertension monitoring poor control or newly diagnosed for CKD or diabetes and/or ACR 70 mg/mmol (3 months) AIM09: Medication reminder (3 months) AIM08: contemplating quitting but not yet decided to do so (3 months)

Primary aims Complete a national roll out of Simple Telehealth ( Flo ) in England Introduce CCGs and frontline primary care practitioners to the everyday use of telehealth through the Flo system Enhance patient experience of shared management of their long term condition(s) via Flo telehealth Secondary aims Illustrate cost-effective application of Flo Raise awareness of the complementary telehealth market for those with more complex needs Raise awareness of a tried and tested method for remote monitoring of long term condition(s) for DES
What could be improved Themes What went well Doubt the educational value Time not saved due to patient set-up time and anxieties, problems receiving texts, reviewing data and patients not returning equipment Patients and professional users struggled with Flo and equipment. Cross-cover was problematic Patients not interested or anxious, responses fail/unreliable, no mobile reception. Little benefit over traditional methods, found the system complex/increased work. Wanted direct integration with patient records and to track patients after protocol end More support at the practice level to launch the service and educate staff about its use (e.g. leaflets). Tardy Read code details Puts patients in control of their health Use of appointments Ease of use Acceptability of the system Support using the system Encouraged patients to acknowledge, take responsibility for and feel involved in their health problems/management Saved (nurses and GP) appointments, patients time/inconvenience and resources Patients and professional users found Flo easy Patients are happy, interested, and value the feedback and flexibility. Professional users liked the flexibility of managing patients remotely, being able to send simple messages and having readings on record Valued initial briefing session and demos, case studies, examples of how others are using Flo and the patient pack
Implementing Simple Telehealth/Flo drives integrated care across treatment pathways and organisational boundaries to improve patient outcomes care & is cost effective Patients selected on basis of acuity and their suitability for Flo by clinicians Evaluation of Implementation across CCG Clusters (project in deployment stage commencement of patient sign up from Oct 2014) Data within Flo across all clusters - feedback from patients and patient outcomes Data across the North Cluster - health care usage There has been over 14,000 patients across England who have utilised Flo since April 2013 Out of 3000 patients, 96% confirmed they would prefer to use Flo rather than visit their GP Practice Nurse - has given her patients confidence to monitor their own health which in turn has drastically reduced their attendance at A&E or being admitted to hospital, especially for COPD patients. Reduced face to face contacts in surgery to 1/6 th. Main participating Organisations in Clusters - North (6 ), Central (3 ), South (2) (6 CCGs, 3 Acute Trusts, 1 Community Trust and 1 Mental Health Trust) Main project LTCs COPD, asthma, hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, dementia and medication reminders Main participating organisations are also considering the development further protocols e.g. community trust Pressure area management, measuring drainage. Pilot themes/organisations - Pharmacies (medication reviews/integrated care with general practice ), Local Authorities (Carers support - anxiety management ) Network with other AHSNs using Flo (North East & Cumbria/East Midlands) re: gestational diabetes
Why do we think this time will be different? Focus on patient outcomes not technology Whole system approach: primary care integral Ability to measure impact and value We know it can be done 24
