7. West Hampshire Out of Hospital Model
Proactive Intervention
Care navigation via 111 or Care Co-
ordinator; care in line with agreed plan
Primary care urgent care centres
Rapid access to consultant advice
Rapid assessment clinics (including
diagnostics); Integrated Rapid response
& crisis intervention services via SPA
Access to community beds (step-up),
home treatment and care support
including night sitting. Rapid, flexible
provision of care packages to meet need
End of Life – patients supported to die
in place of choice
Proactive management by SCAS –
enhanced paramedic role
Keeping Well: Early Intervention and Effective Care Co-ordination
Pro-active risk profiling to identify high risk patients using predictive tools and the combined local
intelligence of health and social care professionals
Early diagnosis and intervention
Person Centred Care Planning with patients and carers as active participants defining priorities, goals,
programme implementation, coping strategies, contingency plans for crisis and outcome measures. The
use of Personal Health Budgets and direct payments to enable patients greater choice, flexibility and
control over their own care and treatment
Care planning to include self-care and supported self-management programmes to put the patient and
their carers in control of their condition. This can include the use of assisted living technology and virtual
intervention tools such as telehealthcare. Utilisation of community support and third sector services,
particularly where patients are isolated and have no viable carer
Care Co-ordination by named Case Manager; Telephone access to support as needed
Care co-ordination
is a holistic model,
delivered by skilled
health and social
care practitioners
in partnership with
patients, carers
and their GP
Admitting patients
to hospital should
be a last resort;
with the majority
of care provided in
the community.
Community
services need to
be responsive to
proactively meet
changing need
If admission to an
acute hospital is
required, patients
should only remain
in hospital for the
acute phase of
their illness, with
timely transfer or
discharge. Patients
should be
supported to
return home
Supporting Recovery
Strengthened Community Pull;
hospital in-reach supported by
‘Daily Alert’ information
Community beds (step-down)
with early supported discharge
either within or as close to a
patients home as possible; ICTs
able to direct use of community
beds & out of hospital services
Care packages to be quickly
reinstated, adapted to meet
changing need or set up via
pooled budget

A Community Based Approach to Integrated Care
Community Support
Integrated Care Team
GP Practice Network
Community based, primary care
co-located model
Our approach:
15 Integrated Care Teams (ICTs) covering 6 Localities
Teams are co-located and work with a network of practices to foster
meaningful partnerships
Each Team covers a population of around 30,000 – 50,000
The core team consists of health and social care professionals
including primary care, community nurses, therapists, social workers,
and Older Persons Mental Health liaison workers. Each team has a
named link Consultant Geriatrician
The wider team consists of specialist services
Integrated Care Teams are rooted in communities – they know and
understand their community and actively engage local voluntary
organisations and support networks. ICTs provide a continuum of
care based on individual need
West Hampshire Localities
Specialist Services
9.
10. National Voices definition of
integrated care as meaning
person centred, coordinated
care:
“I can plan my care with
people who work together
to understand me and my
carer (s), allow me control,
and bring together services
to achieve the outcomes
important to me”
11. Supporting Recovery and Maximising Independence
Integrated
Care Team
Community Beds
– Core Offer
“ ERS@H is not
appropriate
clinically / safe”
Enhanced Recovery
and Support @

“Time limited support
designed around an
individual to support
recovery and
maximise
independence”

Complex Needs
Assessment
“Rapid assessment
and diagnosis –

Clinical Triage / SPA
Health and Wellbeing – links with 3rd Sector
Principles of Core Delivery Model:
The right care will be provided at the right time and in the
right place
Care will be personalised and tailored to meet individual
health and social need
A recovery culture, with people supported to maximise their
independence
Care will be delivered locally either at home or as close to
home as possible
No patient will be admitted to a bed who could safely be
supported at home. Care at home will always be the default
for care delivery
Patients will only remain in an acute hospital for the acute
phase of their illness
Decisions about long term care needs will not be made in an
acute setting
Care will be delivered by integrated health and social care
teams that are co-located and work with a network of
Practices, with access to specialist support

Monitoring Effectiveness; Demonstrating Success
25. Health 1000
• Health 1000 is a new primary care provider organisation operating a new
model of care as part of the Prime Minister’s Challenge Fund supporting
people with 5 or more LTCs from BHR practices.
• It has a clinical model which includes input from BHRUT, North East
London NHS Foundation Trust, Barts NHS Trust, and the social care
services of the co terminus London Boroughs.
• The service exists in primary care but incorporates specialists “tailored”
to individual needs.
• People consenting to take part are being de registered from their GP and
registered with the Practice and receive a refreshed care plan and a
tailored team (including GP, nurse, social care and consultant specialists)
• Age UK RBH is working as part of the Multidisciplinary team supporting a
cohort of 500 people with multiple LTCs using the Age UK Integrated Care
Model.
26. Project Background
In developing Health 1000, the work with potential
service users and their families revealed that people
have difficulties in accessing services to manage
their own conditions and meet their needs due to:
• Lack of information
• Fragmented options
“We feel helpless trying to get the best for our
mum”
“I just want to be able to go fishing”
“The professionals don’t understand all my needs”
27. Age UK Integrated Care Programme
• It operates across England and brings together
voluntary organisations and health and care services in
local areas to provide an innovative combination of
medical and non-medical support for older people with
long term conditions at risk of recurring hospital
admissions.
• Through the programme Age UK staff and volunteers
become members of primary care led multi-disciplinary
teams providing care in the local community.
• The pathfinder for the programme has been underway
in Cornwall since 2012 and early results have been
highly promising.
28. Aims of the Age UK Integrated Care
Programme
• Improve the health and wellbeing outcomes for older
people with long-term conditions who experience high
numbers of avoidable hospital admissions.
• Deliver cost savings and help alleviate financial
pressures in the local health and social care economy.
• Support and deliver transformational whole system
change by demonstrating how GPs, community care,
hospitals, social care and the voluntary sector can work
together with the older person at the centre.
30. BHR Care Navigator Pilot
• The pilot is funded for 2 years by Redbridge, Barking
and Havering CCGs and Age UK.
• The team delivering the pilot includes one Team Leader
and 3 Care Navigators. In addition, we aim to recruit 10
volunteers in the first year to support patients.
• The Care Navigators are fully integrated with the
Health 1000 team and take part in weekly MDT
meetings.
• The pilot has started at the end of August 2015 and so
far 39 Clients have had guided conversations and have
started receiving support from the project.
31. How Does it Work?
• Care Navigators carry out a person centred guided
conversation with patients which covers aspects such as
personal history, living arrangements, financial situation,
support received, likes and dislikes, personal interests, etc.
• Client goals are identified through the guided conversation
which are then translated into a support plan.
• The emphasis of the project is to shift the clients’ focus
from their health condition to pursuing their interests,
becoming more engaged with their community and
developing a good network of support.
• Type of support for client may include referrals to other
services such as befriending, arranging outings, developing
new activities, peer networks, etc.
32. Early Outcomes
• Improving client’s wellbeing by supporting him to achieve his goal
to go fly fishing.
• Supporting client to regain confidence in going out and increase
independence by assisting them to go out shopping and attend a
social club at the Punjabi Centre.
• Coordinating and organising day centre attendance and carer
respite.
• Supporting clients and carers to access services such as Advice and
Information, Befriending Services, Re-ablement, Community
Treatment Team, Care Line, Dementia Services, disabled swimming
facilities, etc.
• Liaising with Health 1000 Practitioners to enable referrals for OT
assessments, Podiatry Services, Counselling, Dietician support,
memory assessments, hearing tests, social care assessments, etc.
33. Case study continued
• The first patient for Health 1000 he is an amazing
character and likes to support the practice as much as
he can. He lost his wife 3 years ago which sent him into
a depression and felt he was losing control. His
illnesses made things worst in turn having to rely on his
family to support him. His son moved in to live with
him.
• He has lived in his community for 20+ years and felt he
was losing touch of what was around him. He was
feeling isolated. He used to be head Forman on
building sites and was the man to know who helped
everyone in the neighbourhood. His passion was
fishing but as he didn’t like eating it!
34. Case study
• When Age UK RBH met him he was very positive about his
experience with Health 1000 and wanted to do anything he could to
be more involved. This is where Fly fishing came up and the
possibility of make a group led by him. We had to find out and
source this which took a number of weeks but we finally contacted
an organisation who could help and we arranged for to do what he
loved most.
• He didn’t stop smiling the whole day he pushed himself and caught
4 trout. He was tried but happy and after a pub lunch he said this
was the best day he had had since before his wife died. He is now
getting ready to be the lead fisherman for Health 1000 fly fishing
group.
• Patients’ son provided feedback to the patient’s GP that since
using Health 1000 his father was feeling better, his medical
condition had improved and he was happier and felt supported.
37. Based on Work in Staffordshire
2011 - 2014
We wanted to answer the question:
If we are commissioning for outcomes,
what outcomes do we want to achieve?
38. Process – Different Perspectives
• Does everyone have the same view?

Provide an overview of the strategic programme
Coordinated community care models: People need support to: live well; manage a crisis effectively; or get specialist help when needed.
The diagram shows how care and support will be coordinated around the individual, starting in the centre with family, friends and each person’s GP.
Care and support is community-based and people and practitioners in each locality design what it looks like on the ground according to local needs and resources.
In terms of context …..
The number of persons meeting the criteria for matching and evaluation was 201. The average (mean) post intervention period was 193 days or 6.4 months, although this ranged from 3 months to over 11 months. The median was also 6.4 months.
We have estimated the number of people in Cornwall with 2 or more of the 6 LTCs which the programme targets. This is a proxy for the number of people who could benefit from the Living Well intervention across the County. The estimate comes to 22,500 people.
If the cost of non-elective admissions in the Living Well group had changed by the same as it did in the matched group then it would have fallen by 3.0% in the post intervention period compared to pre-intervention.
The pre-intervention cost of the 201 people from the LW group was £326,000 so if the costs followed that of the matched cohort then they would have been around £316,000 in the post intervention period.
The post intervention period cost of the Living Well group was actually £147,000, this is lower than the expected value above by £169,000.
If we were to assume the rate of benefit was sustained for 12 months for all of the Living Well group then an annualised saving would therefore be around £317,000 per annum, or £1,577 per patient per annum.
This means that when you take into account the previous slide on ‘all admissions’ that means elective activity costs rise. As we would expect from a programme designed to move to wards more controlled rather than chaotic use of services.
If the level of GP practice contacts in the Living Well group had changed by the same as it did in the matched group then it would have fallen by 49.0% in the post intervention period.
The pre-intervention GP practice contacts were 1,332 so if the GP Practice contacts followed that of the matched cohort then there would have been 676 in the post intervention period.
The post intervention period GP practice contacts Living Well group were actually 844, that’s 168 more than the control group.
Or if we annualise and divide by the number of patients in the group that’s 1.7 more GP practice contacts per patient.
If the cost of A&E attendances in the Living Well group had changed by the same as it did in the matched group then it would have fallen by 3.0% in the post intervention period.
The 6 month pre-intervention cost of the 201 people from the LW group was £10,100 so if the costs followed that of the matched cohort then they would have been around £9,800 in the post intervention period.
The post intervention period cost of the Living Well group was actually £7,580, this is lower than the expected value above by £2,210.
If we were to assume the rate of benefit was sustained for 12 months for all of 201 persons in the sample then an annualised saving would therefore be around £4,150 per annum, or £21 per patient per annum.
If the cost of all admissions in the Living Well group had changed by the same as it did in the matched group then it would have fallen by 21.1% in the post intervention period. (not to be confused with the 21.1% on the chart which is the difference in the change in activity between LW group and matched cohort!)
The pre-intervention cost of the LW group was £373,500 so if the costs followed that of the matched cohort then they would have been around £294,650 in the post intervention period.
The post intervention period cost of the Living Well group was actually £223,000, this is lower than the expected value above by £71,650.
If we were to assume the rate of benefit was sustained for 12 months for all of the Living Well group then an annualised saving would therefore be around £134,400 per annum, or £670 per patient per annum.
If the level of GP practice contacts in the Living Well group had changed by the same as it did in the matched group then it would have fallen by 49.0% in the post intervention period.
The pre-intervention GP practice contacts were 1,332 so if the GP Practice contacts followed that of the matched cohort then there would have been 676 in the post intervention period.
The post intervention period GP practice contacts Living Well group were actually 844, that’s 168 more than the control group.
Or if we annualise and divide by the number of patients in the group that’s 1.7 more GP practice contacts per patient.
