4. COMMISSIONING PRIORITIES & TARGETS Priority area No.1
DIABETES
Planned Initiatives Redesign of the current diabetes service across the North or Kirklees in conjunction with the Wakefield District and North Kirklees Diabetes Network. AIMS • •
To ensure that specialist diabetes services are available in a timely manner and closer to patients homes and; To provide a resource to clinicians, sharing of knowledge and skills and to improve patient care and outcomes through collaborative working practices and the quality of specialist care diabetes services.
OBJECTIVES • • •
• • • • • • • • • •
To improve the quality of primary care diabetes services in all GP practices To ensure that the patient is seen and treated by the most appropriate person, in an appropriate setting. This will reduce the number of people receiving routine ongoing care from specialist care. To improve the education of patients and their families by developing structured and comprehensive patient education programmes (as per NICE Guidance on Educational Models). DESMOND for newly diagnosed Type 2 patients is currently running in the area but only to a minority of patients. Foundation course due shortly for those patients with diabetes who have not attended a newly diagnosed programme To explore alternative structured education programmes for those patients who are not suitable for DESMOND To provide structured education programme for people with Type 1 diabetes To introduce the new concept of care planning for all patients with diabetes To support those practices that are willing to deliver more services to their patients i.e. insulin initiation in Type 2 diabetes To ensure that patients, who are referred to specialist care, are the ones who actually will benefit from such input and actually need it. To reduce hospital admissions and accident and emergency attendances for patients with diabetes To increase the capacity of specialist care staff to provide specialist services (i.e. renal clinics, foot clinics) by more patients being managed in primary care To ensure all services needed are available e.g. psychology To increase the capacity of specialist dieticians and podiatrists to care for people close to home To ensure that all health care staff involved in working with people with diabetes have the appropriate competencies
The Diabetes Network recognises that to achieve this all health professionals have a key role, but also that they may need to work differently in the future. The principles of the redesign are to look at a broad picture of what activity needs to be commissioned from primary care and secondary care. Patients will have access to services locally and will benefit from integrated clinics.
Chairman: Rob Napier Chief Executive: Mike Potts
A detailed service specification will be developed for the levels of care that practices will be delivering, levels 1 – 2 being covered by QOF with an option for practices to deliver levels 3-4 in a primary care setting. Part of the service redesign will include a baseline assessment to identify potential gaps in service provision and local solutions. A detailed educational programme will be devised to enable practices to develop skills in order to deliver services to higher levels where desired. Expected Outcomes Improving care in primary and community settings Access to the right professional at the right time Care closer to home 18 week target Patient experience & choice Swift referral to the specialist team if an unfortunate event occurs and prompt intervention by the most appropriate member of the team Structured education programmes being delivered in their locality Care planning to support the self management element of their condition Reduce acute hospital admissions and accident and emergency attendances Performance indicators •
Number of practices with the ability to achieve the service specification and deliver services to levels 3 & 4. • Successful identification and implementation of the educational programme. • Equity in access to diabetes care to level 4 in primary care. • Patient satisfaction survey Priority area No.2 CHD Planned Initiative CHD prevalence is above national average and has been identified within the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment as a high priority for the people of Kirklees. The Consortium wish to ensure that North Kirklees practices are involved in future developments within the primary prevention nurse services. To link with Kirklees HIT team (with Dr Kelly as Lead GP) to ensure service provision across practices in North Kirklees is equitable and further developed within a clear framework. To link with the Contracting Team to ensure progress is made to commission a local cardiology service. We would expand the present pilot of 24 hour blood pressure monitoring across all practices. We will support a Consortium member practice to submit a business case for anti-coagulant therapy. Expected Outcomes /Performance Indicators To successfully work with the HIT team and implement any agreed developments in practices across the North Kirklees Consortium.
Priority area No.3 INTERMEDIATE CARE Planned Initiatives To review and improve access to intermediate care services both in and out of hours. To ensure appropriate services are available within primary care to prevent inappropriate admissions to secondary care. To ensure appropriate access to intermediate care services to meet the needs of patients in the North Kirklees area. Pursue the development of LES re nursing homes across Kirklees.
Expected Outcomes/ Performance indicators Improving care in primary and community settings Care closer to home Patient experience & choice
Chairman: Rob Napier Chief Executive: Mike Potts
Priority area No.4 MINOR SURGERY Planned Initiative To review current minor surgery provision with a view to identifying potential service provision within primary care and thereby reducing the volume of secondary care activity. Patients will be seen in a timely manner in a more appropriate setting. This is in line with the 18 week initiative. An initial focus will be on the development of a primary care service for vasectomies. We will also look to progress the carpal tunnel pathway to access direct listing. Expected Outcomes/ Performance indicators The vasectomy service will be operational from August 2008 Equity in provision of service Care closer to home Improvement in patient experience and choice Patient pathway reduced to achieve 18 week wait target
Priority area No. 5 PRESCRIBING Planned Initiative The Consortium will work with the PCT Medicines Management Team to identify and implement cost efficiency initiatives to make better use of financial resources locally. The National Audit Office has identified a number of areas where cost efficiencies can be made. The majority of these will be classed as ‘Better Care Better Value indicators’ but the DH. The Consortium will work with the medicines management team to identify the impact of movement from secondary care to primary care on the practice prescribing budgets to permit the appropriate unbundling of PBR tariffs and to facilitate the movement of the appropriate amount of funds from the PBC budget to the prescribing budget.
Expected Outcomes/Performance Indicators Working within the prescribing budget
Priority area No. 6 CARERS OF PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA Planned Initiative To work in line with the developing Government initiative around carers of people with dementia by obtaining a complete register from each practice in order to take the initiative forward next year. As part of the Local Incentive Scheme each practice will be asked to obtain the full details of carers of patients with dementia. Expected Outcomes/ Performance indicators Create within each practice a complete record of carers for all patients with dementia
Chairman: Rob Napier Chief Executive: Mike Potts
Priority area No.7 PATIENT & PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Planned Initiative To ensure both patients and the public are involved in the decisions made about local care. This will be achieved by working closely with the PCT PPI Team. As business cases are developed patient’s opinions will be sought in order to support any developments. Expected Outcomes/ Performance indicators Achieve the necessary patient and public involvement in the decisions being made regarding patient care and service redesign. Priority area No.8 IMPROVING DATA QUALITY
Planned Initiative To effectively utilise the skills of the Performance Analysts to facilitate the practices use and understanding of information. This will assist in maximising PBC consortia/practices’ ability to improve performance. By using the Local Incentive Scheme 4 data verification exercises will be carried out over the year for each practice. The areas to be identified will be proposed at the Consortium’s quarterly Forum meeting and will be relevant to business cases currently under consideration.
Greater accuracy of data Able to feed inconsistencies and errors back to secondary care via the Contracting Team Increase practice understanding of information Assist in preparation of business cases
Priority No.9 COMMISSIONING A PRIMARY CARE PHLEBOTOMY SERVICE Planned Initiative Following the successful submission of a business case the Consortium will deliver a service specification and work with the PCT through a procurement process to commission a primary care phlebotomy service. Expected Outcomes/ Performance indicators We will have a service available closer to home and closer to practice premises. Priority No. 10 IMPROVING ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE
Planned Initiative To expand the range of services available and redefine roles within primary care. Within this there will be equitable provision of healthcare assistant hours across all practices. The Consortium will submit a business case outlining proposed changes and develop a service specification to ensure a consistent approach across all practices. Expected Outcomes/ Performance indicators Each practice will have access to a healthcare assistant and develop services offered to patients
Chairman: Rob Napier Chief Executive: Mike Potts
Priority No.11 - 18 WEEK TARGET Planned initiative Achieving target by working with Mid Yorks, the main secondary care provider and the patient to identify positive outcomes.
