14. RELEVANCE OF TECHNOLOGY TO HELP SUPPORT OUTCOMES

15. 1. Urgent Care Clinical DashboardsBackground • An Urgent Care Clinical Dashboard (UCCD); • displays information in a graphical, user-friendly way • helps GP Practices to more pro-actively manage and co-ordinate their patient’s healthcare, • especially for the most vulnerable patients and those with long-term conditions. • It provides; • near Real-Time information from the local Acute Trust(s) • on A&E attendances, admissions and discharges • combined with near real-time information from Out of Hours and the Walk in Centre to each GP Practice; • enabling a whole system view of urgent care.

16. 1. Urgent Care Clinical DashboardsCase Study- Benefits • NHS Bolton efficiency saving of £300K p.a. from reduced A&E attendance • Reduction of emergency admissions by 4.7% in 10/11 • 1000 GP practices covering a population of 6.3 million

17. 1. Urgent Care Clinical Dashboard Implementation Sites South Cheshire and Vale Royal GP Commissioning Consortia NHS Merseyside (NHS Liverpool, NHS Halton & St Helens, NHS Knowsley, NHS Sefton) NHS Manchester NHS Central Lancashire Lancaster Morecambe Carnforth & Garstang CCG NHS Oldham NHS Tameside & Glossop NHS Trafford NHS Tees (NHS Hartlepool, NHS Middlesbrough, NHS Stockton-on-Tees, NHS Redcar & Cleveland) NHS Gateshead NHS County Durham and Darlington NE Lincolnshire Care Trust Plus and partners NHS Calderdale NHS Northamptonshire NHS Leicester City, NHS Leicestershire County and Rutland NHS Cambridgeshire NHS Peterborough NHS Luton NHS North Essex NHS Suffolk NHS Stoke on Trent and NHS North Staffordshire NHS Devon NHS Torbay NHS Plymouth Central London Healthcare Partnership NHS Oxfordshire NHS Southampton NHS Buckinghamshire NHS Brighton and Hove NHS East Sussex Downs and Weald Medlinc CCG/NHS Surrey KEYSites with live dashboards Sites in implementation phase Further scheduled dashboard deployments

18. GPADS: GP Acute Data System • Accessible via NHS Number from any of the acute activity reports • Summary information from the primary care system, including demographic data, primary care diagnoses, acute activity in last six months and biometrics. • Patient-specific A&E and inpatient admission reports

19. 2. Risk Profiling • Risk profiling; • predicts the risk of adverse health events • such as emergency admission in the next 12 months • for individual patients based on their previous primary and secondary care history • using a predictive algorithm. • This helps GP Practices; • identify patients who are suitable for support by case managers or community matrons • who were not previously on GPs radars.

20. 2. Risk Profiling • Case Study- Benefits • Used by Devon PCT for case finding and proactive case management • Has resulted in an overall reduction in emergency admissions by 4.11% over the last two years

21. 3. Care Co-ordination The Challenge: • Patients with long term conditions, and those approaching the end of their life need support across a range of care settings • Being able to share information about care provided - including care plans and patient preferences, is essential • To develop new national interoperability specifications to support a consistent approach and support wider adoption Case Study: • South West Electronic Palliative Care Co-ordination System (EPaCCS) • Thousands of patients now achieving their preferred place of death, with less than 10% dying in hospital

22. 4. Digital EssentialsThings to consider that will help your bottom line….. “Why Not?”

23. 4. Remote consultations using Skype /Online Meetings • Online Meeting Services (e.g. Skype) are being used to: • Replace routine consultations where physical exams are not required • Reduce DNAs • Increase access to GP or consultation services. • OMS (Skype) is already being used by clinicians to hold consultations with patients from their own homes (e.g. South Devon Healthcare NHSFT) and for Diabetes outpatient follow-ups in Newham, reducing a 30-50% DNA to 16%. • £115K p.a. Estimated saving from community teams at NHS Derbyshire using Online Meeting Services • Guidance is available from the QIPP Digital Technology team that; • outlines how to run meetings safely and addresses key Information Governance points • presents best practices for running safe meetings using Skype

24. Virtual meetings and communication: some days I need a TARDIS “Eat your lunch, sign prescriptions, answer queries from reception staff, get involved, pay attention and contribute!” CCG Chair • Solutions(although not quite as • good as a TARDIS): • Skype • Microsoft Office 365 • WebEx • and many more . . . i-Engage – Meetings from Planned Care Solutions using Microsoft Office 365. and RHUB TurboMeeting device for virtual meetings - 60 users 4 month pilot

25. ”In a nutshell, Office 365 enables me to be productive when I'm on the move.   Like many of my colleagues, I have a wide range of roles in additional to my clinical duties, which involves working from different locations.  Office 365 allows me to be paper-free, and ultimately more efficient; using my iPad I can always access the latest version of any file, at any time, from almost anywhere.  There are no admin boundaries and crucially Office 365 safe, secure and intuitive to use. It's a brilliant communication, and collaboration, tool which will grow with our changing priorities and ways of working.   I can't recommend it highly enough to all my clinical colleagues across the CCG." GP and CCG Information Lead

30. New funding to support sharing of information • The Information Sharing Challenge Fund – a new fund announced on 31st August. • Available to local NHS organisations to develop new patient care improving and information sharing digital services e.g. Clinical Dashboards. • Three categories of award: • New Stuff – totally new solutions • Development – by a new supplier • Rollout • To assist with application process webinars are being held in Septemberhttp://www.dh.gov.uk/health/2012/08/information-sharing-challenge/

33. Summary • Digital innovation has a key role to play in supporting General Practice • It’s not new – much of this already exists…there is low hanging fruit • GPs to consider role of digital technology as part of service change • National enablers and case studies already available to assist with adoption.
