2. Sustaining Change in Healthcare
Getting under the skin of the problem and
remaining relevant to local context
in the Knee High Design Challenge
Mat Hunter
Chief Design Officer, Design Council

Our vision was for Lambeth and Southwark to be two of
the best boroughs to live well with diabetes…
• Strategic Priorities: Children, Primary Care, Community Care and Self-
management
• Ambitious aims to deliver sustainable improved outcomes at a population
level
• Strong cross organisation partnership with commissioners, providers and
service-users
• Scaleable, not increase costs, clinically led and focus on what mattered to
patients (Triple Aim Principles)
• Business case built on early detection, better biological control and self
management preventing/ delaying high cost complications
• Scaleability and sustainability key design principles from the outset
21. June 2014 21
Measurement as legacy
• Lambeth and Southwark and the
DMI cited as a London exemplar in
London’s Blood Sugar Rush report,
2013
• Quality in Care winners for “Best
CCG initiative” and “Best Cross-
organisational partnership” 2014
• Chair of Voluntary Group, highly
commended, NHS Participant of
the year, 2014
• The Commonwealth Fund, case
study 2014
• IHI presentation, 2015: “Achieving
triple aim in inner London”
• External economic evaluation
(OPM)
• Direct reductions in service
delivery and indirect benefits
from long term health
improvements.
• In total, savings are expected:
• £1.34m in year 1 (ranging from
£933k to £1.68m).
• £10.10m over the next 5 years
(ranging from £5.54m to
£14.13m) and
• £29.38m over 10 years
(ranging from £12.25m to
£45.40m).
23. June 2014 23
Focus the system on population health:
• The combined register size has grown by 23% since 2009/10; 16.6% since 2010/11.
• While growth over the past year slowed to 3% (compared with 9% the year before),
this still represents around 800 additional patients on the registers.

Learnings
• Measurement tells the story of change and helps the
“flame shine bright”- macro, meso and micro levels
• Creates shared purpose and ambition, and a route map
• System measures shine light into the shadows and
across our “borders”
• User led measures truly test the process or experience
• Draw on multiple expertise and methodology
• Accept the data isn’t perfect

41. Establishing Relationships
• Needs assessment – gathered data and
opinions from all stakeholders in hospitals and
community, especially service users
• Steering group for needs assessment became
steering group for the project – key clinical
managers from the 3 Trusts, KHP and Lambeth
CCG (commissioners)
42. Maintaining Relationships
• Continuous process of progress reports,
launch events, annual reports
• Data and outcomes presented in a way which
chimes with current drivers for the particular
audience
43. Homeless people attend A&E 5 times
as much, are admitted 3 times as
often, and stay 3 times as long as the
general public. Overall they cost 8
times as much.1
The average age of death for homeless
people is just 47 years.2
Why target homeless people?
44. • Marmot review –
‘proportionate universalism’
• Public Health Outcomes
Framework
• Health and Social Care Act 2012
and the policy reasons…
45. • Tri-morbidity
• Lack of follow-up care
Lack of local connection and/or
lack of appropriate
accommodation options
Chaos in the client group
Why the poor outcomes….?
47. How was this achieved?
• Maximising the benefit of
admissions
• Expert and sensitive support
team with specific skill sets
• Team fully linked in to homeless
community services
• Delayed discharges

We start by gathering the people in the sector that wish to see change. Often these might be some of the future customers or sign-posters for the new services
The accelerator process – illustrated here with the approach for our ‘Knee High’ programme often uses a funnel in order to attract a wide range of initial ideas but then to invest in the best ones and the best teams.

Fewer patients attending outpatients 1-3 times per annum
An offsetting increase in people attending 6+ times per annum lessens the reduction in overall attendances
