The call comes from Intellect, the trade body for the UK technology sector, which has more than 260 of its members working in healthcare. Intellect is delivering the ‘Productivity through Technology’ stream of the 2012 Commissioning Show.
“It’s about genuine engagement of clinicians” Dr Johnny Marshall, Chair of the National Association of Primary Care (NAPC)
‘We also had 150 clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) represented at the joint event we held with the NHS Alliance in September and I would say the vast majority of them are aiming for authorisation by April 1, 2013, so there you have 50 per cent of CCGs [nationally] already who have that in their minds.’
After the political ‘pause’ earlier this year to deal with opposition to the health and social care bill, Dr Marshall said CCG pathfinders reported a curtailing of their local flexibility and uncertainty over the future. ‘There was definitely a downer.’ The low point for GP commissioning had come in 2009, he added, when practice-based commissioning had been described as a ‘corpse not for resuscitation’, by the then national director for primary care, GP Dr David Colin-Thome. Dr Marshall, who is a GP and CCG chair in Buckinghamshire, added that PBC had realised its true potential only in a ‘handful of areas’, where they were supported by PCTs who ‘genuinely recognised
Andrew Hartshorn, vice chair of Intellect’s healthcare council, said: ‘Too often, informatics solutions are perceived as complex, expensive and take a long time to deploy.’ However there was an incredibly diverse range of products and services available. ‘Do not assume you cannot afford solutions from the outset. There will be a range of solutions applicable and affordable to all types of commissioners.’
Chair of the National Dr Johnny Marshall, Care (NAPC) Primary Association of that this just wasn’t about practice-based conversations, it’s about genuine engagement of clinicians and a delegation of responsibility and accountability to them’. He called on the Department of Health to direct PCT clusters to explicitly support emerging CCGs. ‘There are some PCTs who are keeping a handle on business as usual so they don’t hand over a £25m deficit as well as creating a new commissioning infrastructure. But there are others who are more restrictive in terms of support. In the NHS operating framework [due out at the end of November for the next 12 months], there needs to be a clear understanding that PCT clusters’ whole purpose now is to create successful CCGs.’ The NAPC had asked the DH to allow CCGs to shop around PCT clusters for the best support, in order to drive up the standard of help being offered. Dr Marshall urged GPs to attend the 2012 Commissioning Show. ‘ I think the opportunity to network with other people facing exactly the same challenges, both technically and emotionally, is a great reason why they ought to go.’
He said the NHS was already reaping the benefits of advances, such as the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) which replaces x-ray films with digital images that can be shared instantly between clinicians. Mr Hartshorn added there was eager anticipation for the results of the Department of Health-funded Whole Systems Demonstrator randomised controlled trial of 6,000 patients using telehealth and telecare. Results are due out at the end of November. ‘The evidence so far points towards improved quality care and cost effectiveness, but the success of telehealth on scale is more about the willingness to change the way care is delivered and embracing technology as an enabler to make that happen.’ CCGs can find out more about Intellect’s healthcare work by visiting www.intellectuk.org

Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) have been urged to cast away any preconceptions that new technology is a complex and costly way to transform care.
Dr Johnny Marshall, chair of the National Association of Primary Care (NAPC), and a confirmed speaker for the 2012 Commissioning Show, said: ‘There’s definitely been a shift. People are feeling much more upbeat about it and want to know, not whether to do clinical commissioning, but, how to do it.

GP vigour for commissioning has finally recovered from its low point in 2009 and now needs an injection of support from PCT clusters to meet authorisation aspirations, according to a national commissioning spokesman.
