13. POPULATION LEVEL COMMISSIONING
FOR THE FUTURE
Dr Abraham George
Consultant / Assistant Director in Public Health
Kent County Council

14. Context
• Huge NHS and public sector funding gap
• Public sector services expected to discharge
statutory functions with ever shrinking budgets
• Growing need for ‘whole system’ understanding
how money and resources are being utilised for
population health and wellbeing
• Greater insight required to develop higher value
models of care that can meet the funding crisis

17. The challenge
“Shifting the focus away from reactive episodic
care, towards a proactive person centred capitated
funding model, irrespective of organisational
boundaries and disease based pathways of care”

18. Local Profile
• >1.5 million population
• Governance of
commissioning at multiple
levels
• 1 County Council, 7
CCGs, 12 districts, 4
acute trusts, 1 community
health trust, mental health
trust, >200 practices
• Public Health
Observatory team
• Well networked with other
intelligence teams
– JSNA development
– Health & Social Care Maps
– Local needs assessments
– Other analyses
• Links with K&M Health
Informatics Service –
data warehouse

19. Progress till date
• Work started in 2012 – QIPP LTC programme
• Whole population profiling using risk stratification
– Burden of multiple morbidities
– Impact on service utilisation - ‘Crisis curve’
– Estimating possible financial benefits of integrated care could be
realised
http://www.kmpho.nhs.uk/EasySiteWeb/GatewayLink.aspx?alId=382582
• Delivery of national YOC programme in Kent - implementation at
sub Kent / CCG level
• Kent Integration Pioneer – Key milestone
• Submission of linked datasets to national team for analysis
• Contribution to national guidance eg. MONITOR report of
designing linked datasets
• Currently working health informatics service to develop
dashboard

20. Population Commissioning for the future
• Longitudinal analysis of service utilisation and
costs for a patient cohort based on multi-morbidity
/ risk stratification
• A brief look at some of the graphs and charts in
the report

24. Kent LTC YOC programme
• All providers and commissioners involved
• 2/7 CCGs are the sponsor orgns
• KCC Public Health manages programme on behalf of
whole county
• Implementation at sub Kent level
• East Kent group first to take part and now finalising shadow
testing arrangements
• All professionals are involved – commissioner, finance,
informatics, etc.
• Use of risk stratification dashboard to monitor activity and
costs, evaluate integrated care models
• Data linkage at person level still not yet finalised, so linkage
currently at GP practice level

25. Identifying patients suitable for YoC
• Risk stratification tool applied
• LTC codes applied (18 in total - QoF)
• List segmented by LTC currency (Bands B – E applied -
B=2,C=3-5,D=6-8,E=9),
• Risk Score over time mapped (looking for rise in risk
score in last 6 mths – 4 of 6 show an increase) or
• Rapid Riser in last 3 mths (monthly increase in risk
score over past 3 mths and overall increase of
>15pts).
• Kent – 80 GP practices, Band B = 2197, Band C=
3506, Band D =261, Band E= 5 Total 6369 of 729, 275
• Now driving increased engagement in risk stratification

26. The Year of Care dashboard has so far presented 4 months of activity
and costs worth £57 million from 7 different provider organisations. Of
this £4 million (7% of total spend) represents the proportionate costs
for the YOC cohort (0.3% of total population).

29. Key Challenges
• Information Governance is a key challenge
– Current approach to data sharing has been difficult – different
expert opinions on how share / link data
– National policy on data sharing for ‘indirect care’ is evolving eg. role
of ‘DSCROs’, Department Health consultation on ‘Accredited Safe
Havens’
• Data quality and accessibility
– Good support from provider organisations
– Quality / completeness of data variable across different
organisations
• Commissioner buy-in
– Still some way off in application toward CCG plans
– Difficult to change mind-set of commissioning capacity towards
outcomes.
– Long term planning of Business Intelligence provision in Kent
uncertain

30. Key Messages
• Opportunity to capitalise ‘big data’ in public sector
• Importance of person level linked datasets using
NHS numbers
• Using technology to accelerate the linking of data
from disparate sources
• Understanding the role of intelligence to develop
higher value models of care to incentivise
prevention and improve population health and
wellbeing
• Opportunity for business intelligence teams to
work together develop whole system intelligence

with commissioning through the LTC Year of Care programme which
will make that step towards individualised care for people with
complex needs.” Beverley Matthews, LTC Programme Lead,

“The intelligence from YOC is both informing our thinking on a more
progressive contracting approach incentivising real service
integration”- Hazel Carpenter, Accountable Officer CCG
“This is the first group I have been part of that has moved so far so fast”-
AD Finance Provider
“The year of care programme has been a great enabler in helping us focus
upon and design a holistic ‘health and social care’ model around individual
clients rather than individual disease pathways in a value added, integrated
manner.”- Sanjay Singh Chief GP Commissioner West Kent CCG
