It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

Developing a working relationship: embracing the prevention agenda and integrated care - presentation at the Faculty of Public Health annual conference 2016
Six principles for engaging people and communitiesJeremy Taylor
Slides presented at King's Fund on 1 November 2016. How to make real the vision in the Five Year Forward View of "a new relationship with patients and communities"? We know a lot about the "what" and the "who" of implementation. But the "how" is still a mess. What high impact actions would make a difference to driving this agenda? I offer some thoughts. These slides are not entirely self-explanatory without the accompanying talk. Please feel free to get in touch to explore further!
This presentation was part of a discussion at Sheffield's Health and Wellbeing Board on 25 June 2015.
Gregor Henderson from Public Health England attended the Board meeting to help discussions on the topic.

Transforming the relationship with patients and communities (are we getting t...Jeremy Taylor
This document discusses transforming the relationship between patients and the NHS to be more person-centered. It outlines that policies have increasingly focused on personalized care, evidence shows approaches like shared decision making and self-management support can improve outcomes. However, reality still lags rhetoric, with limited patient involvement and coordination of care. Fully engaging patients in their care can improve health, experiences, and outcomes, but cultural and organizational challenges remain. The document calls for prioritizing patient partnerships, reframing engagement as core to the NHS mission, and investing in skills and tools to realize more person-centered health systems.
This document discusses India's healthcare delivery system and concerns. It outlines several key health concern areas like nutritional problems, environmental sanitation issues, medical care access problems, and socioeconomic factors. It then describes India's National Health and Family Welfare Programme which aims to improve disease treatment, reduce population growth, and assess reproductive/child health needs. The importance of intersectoral coordination between different sectors like health, agriculture, education is discussed. Finally, the role of non-governmental organizations in supporting healthcare delivery through community assistance, innovative programs, policy input and more is covered.
Angela Coulter and Beverley Matthews presented a webinar on why care planning is not happening widely in the NHS. They discussed how care planning can help patients better manage their long-term conditions through shared goal setting and action planning. However, surveys show that less than 10% of patients with long-term conditions have a written care plan. Barriers to effective care planning included a lack of time and resources, inflexible systems, and a clinical culture that does not prioritize self-management support and partnership with patients. The webinar argued that improving care planning requires addressing attitudes, skills, leadership and incentivizing planning through policies and performance measures.
The document describes a Wellness Navigators program created by the Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation to address patients' social and environmental barriers to health. The program trains college student volunteers to connect patients to community resources and support them in setting health goals. By addressing non-medical factors impacting health, the program aims to improve patient experience and health outcomes, enhance care team effectiveness, and reduce total healthcare costs. Initial data shows the program is connecting higher-cost patients to resources to help address their non-medical needs.

This Kickstarter campaign seeks funding to develop an app called 2nd Circle that aims to reduce stress and burnout in family caregivers. There are over 50 million family caregivers in the US who provide an estimated $450 billion in annual care. The app will connect caregivers to friends and family for added support, sharing of resources, and engagement to improve resilience against burnout. Funds raised will be used to create versions of the app and build an initial user base, with future plans for the app to be self-sustaining through ads, premium subscriptions, and partnerships with health insurers.
Boomers Technology and Health: Consumers Taking Charge!HealthInnoventions
This document discusses boomers' use of technology for health and wellness. Some key points:
- Boomers are eager adopters of new technologies that improve health and independence as they age. They are taking charge of their health.
- Boomers use the internet and own smartphones and tablets to research health topics, communicate with doctors, and monitor chronic conditions.
- New technologies allow at-home health monitoring which many boomers prefer over visits to doctors' offices. This reduces healthcare costs and burdens on the system.
- The healthcare industry and tech companies are developing more integrated systems and services that empower consumers to manage their own health.

The document discusses opportunities in 21st century healthcare to provide more and better care at lower cost. It notes that historically successful mindsets, methods, strategies and structures are not adaptive to new opportunities. It advocates developing new internal adaptive capacity by working close to patients with timely, relevant information linked to action and rapid feedback to continually improve and realign behavior. A case study shows how one clinic dramatically improved diabetic care outcomes by adopting these adaptive principles.
Marilyn Guthrie (REI) at Consumer Centric Health, Models for Change '11HealthInnoventions
The document summarizes REI's current approach to employee health and benefits and their desired future state for a more consumer-centric model. Currently, REI offers generous health plans but takes a passive approach to benefits with little employee engagement. Going forward, REI wants to implement a comprehensive wellness strategy with metrics tracking, incentives for healthy behaviors, leadership promotion of health, and a "health concierge" to help employees navigate care. The goal is improved employee health, productivity and reduced healthcare costs.
David Reeves at Consumer Centric Health, Models for Change '11HealthInnoventions
This document discusses consumer-centric health models and self-tracking topics. It lists over 30 different areas that individuals self-track, such as cycling performance, smoking cessation, sleep, diet, productivity, meditation, and more. The document emphasizes that while technology enables extensive data collection, individuals want experiences and meaning from their self-tracking efforts. It suggests that feedback loops, both short and long term, are needed to provide surprises, game mechanics, social motivation, and opportunities to observe patterns and progress.

The document discusses how behavioral economics can be applied to healthcare to better understand irrational consumer behavior and decision making. It provides examples of how cognitive biases and psychological factors influence health behaviors and choices, contributing to poor outcomes and high costs. Applying behavioral economics principles may help design interventions to positively influence behaviors and steer patients towards healthier options.

This document describes the Helpers Program, a social and community network approach to tobacco cessation. The Helpers Program trains community members to have "helping conversations" that encourage and support tobacco users who want to quit. It is based on research showing the influence of social networks on health behaviors and that quit attempts are often unplanned. The Helpers model provides web-based or in-person training to help community members feel confident having supportive conversations about quitting resources. Several research projects have tested the Helpers approach in various communities and found it increased knowledge and helping behaviors. The goal is to engage social networks and foster communities that support tobacco cessation.

The document summarizes findings from a study on the effect of care coaching on hospital readmission rates. It shows that patients who received care coaching had lower readmission rates at 14, 30, and 60 days compared to those who did not receive coaching. The document also lists locations where studies have been conducted on reducing hospital readmissions and shows trends in readmission rates over time in different regions. It discusses challenges in establishing community infrastructure and partnerships to effectively coordinate care transitions to reduce readmissions.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Created for VHA Overview Version 1.6/13/2011In the past, a Veteran came to VA and:-Were dependent on physicians for information- Had a paper medical record that records every time they had a problem and due to accessibility-Was reactive-only came to VA hospital for care when there was a problem.Today, a Veteran comes to VA and -Can depend on a clinical team for information and to identify risks-Has a electronic medical record that records their diseases and their problem history-Is reactive but is provided several options to access VA care when they have a problem. In addition, now a clinical team identifies risks and asks them to improve. In the future, a Veteran comes to VA and -Can depend on a team of clinical staff and support staff for information, to identify risks and provide them with the skills, tools and motivation to succeed-Has a whole-person electronic medical record that notes a health profile that includes their life, values, priorities and health goals along with their diseases and problem history- Has numerous options to access VA care and is proactive by using health tools and a daily VA Personalized Health Plan which draws on the best interventions and treatment available and has a strong emphasis on lifestyle and health behaviors
