Lee Davies from Aster Living discusses innovative strategies to tackle unplanned hospital admissions, a significant challenge in Health and Social Care. The focus is on quantifying preventive measures and redefining what constitutes these services. By addressing the processes for minor adaptations and assistive technologies, the goal is to create a more effective intervention pathway. This presentation highlights the need for cultural changes in healthcare offerings, collaborates with commissioners for efficiency, and supports the goal of reducing hospital admissions, ensuring better care for communities.

A different approach Lee Davies – Aster Living
The Conundrum • Unplanned hospital admissions is the biggest shared problem for Health & Social Care. • Quantifying the impact of preventive measures remains subjective. • There is a movement challenging what is classified as a preventive services.
The Conundrum continued…… • Challenging our ability to intervene at the most appropriate point. • Challenging our methods and ability to change our offering to make a greater impact!
The rationale to how we designed our approach • How can we intervene earlier? • How do we justify the DFG process for works which are between £1000- £4000 • How can we support our commissioners to find efficiencies?
Our approach • A new pathway for works between £1000-£4000. • Dedicated response teams. • Referral to completion offering of 3 weeks • Measurable saving for L.A by reducing the need for back office functions.
Added value benefits • The more homes we adapt for less, the more virtual extra care communities we organically create. • The closer we are to this….
Change • Change is among us and changing the culture of what we offer is critical. • Housing options • Minor adaptations • Assistive technology • Redesigning DFG processes
