What are we trying to achieve in NWL?
1) Improve patient outcomes and experience through collaboration and coordination care across providers (4 hospitals, 3 community providers, 93 GP practices, 5 social care organisations) with shared clinical practices and information
2) Over 5 years decrease hospital usage including emergency admissions by 30% and nursing home admissions by 10% for diabetics and frail elderly through better more proactive care
3) Reduce the cost of care for these groups by 24% over 5 years

Joint Governance - We created a virtual organisation to run the pilot
Serving the North West London Cluster
Serving the North West London Cluster
We set out clearly the responsibilities of each service provider in the ICP
▪ Support MDGs in creating initial care plans for all diabetic patients and 50% of patients aged 75 and over (e.g., by providing seconded nurses to the MDG)
▪ Modify care plans with patients’ GPs as needed
▪ Discuss MDG performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and allocate out-of-hospital investment
▪ Identify best practice across MDGs
▪ Complete “actions” (referrals) and regularly monitor activity
▪ Collaborate with MDG partners on day-to-day basis (e.g., direct phone call to GP upon A&E attendance)
▪ Use the ICP IT tool to see range of patient data and history across multiple settings
▪ Identify and prepare patient cases for discussion (e.g., inpatients, social service users with health issues, etc.)
▪ Give specialist input on patient cases brought by other participants
▪ Be the expert for the MDG on the full range of available services and resources
▪ Follow-up on questions and actions generated through the case conference
Change how care is delivered Review performance & identify improvement
Actively participate at case conferences Support and take part in care planning
▪ Identify system gaps and opportunities

Care plan
Action 2
Action 3
Action 1
Plan care for patients, share these plans across settings, and monitor progress This helps better coordinate care
Identify high risk patients using population segmentation and risk stratification This enables proactive care to be planned
Track and evaluate the performance of GP’s surgeries and Multi-Disciplinary Groups This helps spread best practice in patient care
Action: Review by falls service

Things we learnt on route…
• We are doing this because we want to improve patient care and make professional’s jobs better
• Be able to explain the concept simply and agree a single performance metric
• Identify patient cohorts which aligned to NWL PCTs clinical case for change
• Build a ‘bolt on’ to the existing NHS infrastructure and rules
• Don’t try and redesign the NHS financial payment mechanisms
• Don’t create a new organisation
• Don’t challenge existing or emergent NHS policy
• Take the minimum of funding out of providers up-front
• Invest sufficient resource to set up the pilot and deliver operationally on the ground the new ways of working

What’s next for integrated care in North West London?
▪ Enhance integration with local authorities and other providers
▪ Continue to develop and enhance the IT tool ▪ Conduct robust evaluation at the end of the pilot year to
understand impact ▪ Scale up within North West London
– Additional +10 practices in INWL already added, including Chelsea Pensioners
– Roll out across more Pathways in North west London – Cardiology and Respiratory
– Use methodology to redesign Mental Health provision
– Replicate in Outer North West London. Aim to have 200 practices taking part by October 2012
• Fit for the future – Work on governance structures post April 2013
– Consider new ways of funding through ‘year of care tariffs’
– Link to the development of CCGs and Out of Hospital Care strategy

Many CCG’s are thinking about organising practices in some sort of “network”, which can have different roles… Practice “Networks” can have dual roles
▪ Using the network to commission care locally that is tailored to local population needs e.g., additional elderly care needed different nursing system
▪ Using network to make sure local needs are taken into account in cross-borough commissioning
▪ Using network to ‘peer review’ referrals made by practices
▪ Your practice works with other practices in multi-disciplinary teams to enable specialist care to be provided at local level – ICP
▪ Your practice provides a service on behalf of other practices – diabetic foot service
▪ Consolidating resources in the community for your patients to readily access e.g., a hub for radiology equipment

How else could we work together? Deep Integration
Some integration
“Tier 1” e.g., Individual practices
“Tier 2” e.g., special interest
Illustrative - Complexity of OOH care
“Tier 3” e.g., MDG care
“Tier 4” e.g., UCCs
“Tier 5”
▪ Shared diagnostics ▪ OP appointments
▪ Urgent care access
▪ MDG team meetings ▪ Co-ordination of CHS services
e.g., District Nurses
▪ Inter-practice referral ▪ GPSI referrals
▪ Core primary care provision

Care delivery1 5
Patients receive care from a range of providers across settings, with primary care playing the crucial co-ordinating role and every body using the ICP IT tool to coordinate delivery of care

Performance review 7 The MDG meets regularly
to review its performance and decide how it can improve its ways of working to meet the Pilot goals

Case conference 6
A small number of the most complex patients will be discussed at a multi-disciplinary case conference, to help plan and coordinate care

Patient registry 1
Each MDG holds a register of all patients who are over the age of 75 and/or who have diabetes
1
Each patient is then given an individual integrated care plan that varies according to risk and need

Care planning 4
The MDG uses the ICP information tool to stratify these patients by risk of emergency admission

Why clinicians enjoy the being part of an MDT
SOURCE: NWL ICP Informatics group
▪ Improved awareness of available local services e.g. Falls service
▪ Increased awareness of the scope of other professionals’ roles and abilities, e.g. role of community matrons
▪ Shared learning about a variety of conditions, drugs and services e.g. the impact of needle length on insulin effect
▪ Highlighted areas that may need further attention, in individual patients and the overall population, e.g. the need for formal cognitive assessments in many of the elderly
▪ Valuable discussions involving all disciplines, taking a holistic view e.g. complicated diabetics with psychiatric co-morbidity & heavy drug burden
▪ Professional support, e.g. reassurance that there is no more that can be done, or alternatively, suggestions for investigations and management in complicated case
▪ Increased Coordination and collaboration with Social care, only forum where Health and social care specialists meet regularly to discuss coordinated health and well-being actions
▪ Reduction in inappropriate Outpatient referrals, through improved communication and focused care planning, inappropriate referrals should be reduced
