  9. Columba Results The approach of social, functional and physical re-ablement coupled with telecare (The Columba Process) has demonstrated its effectiveness with: Two thirds of patients in the pilot project being diverted from residential care (7 still at home). Continuous monitoring by the Careline service provided information to community care teams that allowed an intervention and prevented a hospital re-admission. Now part of routine service delivery in N Surrey

  10. Columba Lessons Learnt • The Columba project has demonstrated the strength of partnership working by PCT, County and Borough Councils to support independent living • Telecare is a small but important component in Brockhurst (10%) but is key to returning people to the community to live independently (50%). • The small size of the Columba unit at Brockhurst provides a continuity of care and an opportunity for in-depth client assessment • The staff have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge in assessing clients for telecare and using telecare as part of the care packages but diffusing this knowledge is slow. • Changing established ways of working is difficult and requires continuity of leadership and project management.

  11. Telecare Checklist • The patient or client group to be supported • The care process to be enhanced through telecare • The care setting • The scale of the proposed service (the number of patients or clients served) • The scope of the proposed service (the functionality of the service) • The referral process into the service • The equipment installation, maintenance and monitoring service • The response service • The fit with existing care teams • The capacity of existing care teams to provide the response • The training needs of new and existing staff • The distribution of costs and benefits amongst stakeholders • The role of private sector suppliers

  12. Telecare as part of Extra Care • Sheltered accommodation has the technical and organisational infrastructure • Telecare supports the concept of independent living – just checking • Telecare creates more flexible accommodation giving options for residents, owners, PCTs and social services
