description

what is BNSSG?

• Map The current footprint for Connecting Care is the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Health and Social Care community

Connecting Care is the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire [BNSSG] programme, dedicated to using technology to support -• Better information sharing between local

health and social care organisations• Joining up information to ensure care is

focused around the individual and their needs• Improving better, safer and more joined-up

care• Supporting increased efficiency in the delivery

of health and social care services• Ensuring that the people who are providing

care have the information they need, when they need it

what is Connecting Care?

Our first focus has been the delivery of a shared ‘view only’ electronic patient record

local need

“Adequate and timely information must be shared between services whenever there is a transfer of care between individuals or services.”

“Services in all settings including health and social care need to improve their communication and handover ”

“The information I have is limited and frequently is missing important elements…”

“Better information would support better safeguarding”

“I don’t have access to some important information electronically…”

“If I had better information then it would help me evaluate risks when deciding whether to admit a patient…” “There are delays in getting

hold of information that I need…and I spend a lot of time chasing it up…”

*Summarised from feedback from local clinicians & practitioners during workshop events

NOT having access to accurate, timely, shared information

is a ‘blocker’ to providing high-

quality, effective, efficient care…

“There needs to be better communication between ‘in-hours’ and out of hours services.”

national drivers

Royal College of Physicians’ “We must

revolutionise the way we use information. We

must create pathways in which information

moves with patients across the system in real-

time”

Victoria Climbié (The Laming Report):

“...systems were crude and information failed to

be passed...information systems that depend on

the random passing of slips of paper have no

place in modern services”

Caldicott 2:“For the purposes of direct care,

relevant personal confidential data should be

shared among the registered and regulated health

and social care professionals who have a

legitimate relationship with the individual.”

Caldicott 2: “people also expect professionals

to share information with other members of the

care team, who need to co-operate to provide a

seamless, integrated service. …”

DoH Winterbourne View Final Report:

“All local authorities and their local safeguarding partners should

ensure they have...information-sharing processes in place across

health and social care to identify and deal with safeguarding...this

requires a multi-agency approach including all partners”

strategic alignment

5 year forward view: “Most countries have been slow to recognise and capitalise on the opportunities presented by the information revolution……the NHS has oscillated between two opposite approaches to information technology adoption.....the result has beensystems that don’t talk to each other and a failure to harness the shared benefits that come from interoperable systems…..In future we intend to take a different approach”

project approach

• 2011 Original Vision• 2012 Procurement • 2013 Staged approach

– First stage (pilot) started in March 2013. Key deliverables:

• A working system for 500 users• Evaluation of benefits • Stage one themed on urgent & unplanned care

• 2014 A business case for the second stage started Dec 2014 (next 5-7 years)

FYFV PUBLISHED• 2015 & beyond = GROWTH

Stage two will extend the breadth & depth (10,000 more users, more information sharing, more organisations, more functionality, more more more more….)

Benefits

benefits

Out of hours care

• Saves appointments and visits• Saves admissions• Safer prescribing• Improved quality of consultation

Pharmacy • Safer prescribing – provides access to allergy and GP prescribing information

• Saves time – reduces the amount of time calling GP practices• Safer communication - reduces errors

Hospitals/A&E

• Safer care – patient background, context and medications• Saves times – reduces time trying to find out information• Reduces risks – where patients unable to inform clinicians about

relevant information/fax errors etc.

benefits…

Community Care

• Saves time in triage and assessment • Saves time – reduces the amount of calls to GPs • Saves unnecessary home visits • Supporting risk management and safeguarding

Social Care • Supporting referral management• Saves time in triage and assessment• Informs assessments & care planning • Saves installation and equipment costs• Supports risk management and safeguarding

General Practice

• Reduces burden on practice administrators • Supports risk management and safeguarding• Increased confidence in better care being provided outside of the

practice• Immediate access to GP records (new registrations)

benefits…

“Massive difference in time spent accessing information. On average [I can] access the GP record within 30 seconds compared with 15-20 minutes taken via telephone or via fax” Critical Care Pharmacist Manager UHB “3 cases identified

on Connecting Care today that were already allocated to a health practitioner (BCH OT or IMCS OT) so did not require referrals to BCC OT”. Occupational Therapist Bristol City Council

“I now use Connecting Care on almost every case I deal with it (approx. 25 cases per shift). It always makes a difference and adds value. Every shift, acute admissions are avoided.” Doctor (out of hours)

“Have been able to identify trends which have then resulted in swifter [safeguarding] interventions…one case where concerns would not have increased without Connecting Care…”Social Worker Safeguarding team

“Connecting Care is brilliant…I use it to triangulate information from service users, to find out about other services involved so that I can contact them to inform my assessments” Bristol social worker

“it has enabled us to commence discharge planning earlier in the patients stay to help prevent delays later on.”Discharge Nurse

“Unable to obtain a medication history or allergy status from the patient….accurately confirmed through Connecting Care …” Pharmacist, NBT

““Information about the patient’s diagnoses has helped our team decide which type of therapy to offer the patient” UHB

benefits…

“On Monday I managed to obtain details for 22 patients on Connecting Care, I saved a huge amount of time as I didn’t need to phone the GPs and wait for the faxes to arrive” Acute Pharmacist

“I used Connecting Care to find vital information for the diabetes nurses . The information logged by district nurses is a goldmine of information. We saved 20 minutes on the telephone and managed to find the reason for patients insulin being discontinued” Discharge Nurse

“In cases where we are dealing with a person who is being supported by Rapid Response and the district nurses, Connecting Care comes in to its own. All the notes from visits are documented and it can save at least 30-40 minutes on duty cases of this nature” Social Worker “The extra patient detail

is useful when deciding to stop drugs such as anti-platelets and it helps to identify risk factors” Doctor

Having access to accurate, timely,

shared information is no longer a

‘blocker’ to providing high-

quality, effective, efficient care…

“Without Connecting Care today I couldn’t have done my job.” Pharmacist

“Connecting Care has been really helpful tonight. Could not do without it. Particularly in the case of an old lady with XX who I could not reach on the phone. Without Connecting Care this would have resulted in a visit and probably her door being broken down. But with CC I was able to work out that all that should of been done, had been done.” OOH Doctor

potential financial benefits

Prevented Admissions

10,000 users could see annual saving of £1,036,288 from inappropriate admissions prevented, by using information in Connecting Care Based on a Department of Health reference cost 2012/13 of £1,436 for a unplanned admission and only the same rate of stated admissions prevented in the pilot

Reducing duplicate assessment

Reducing duplicate assessments 10,000 users could see a annual saving of £179,520 on stopping the duplication of assessments as a result of using information in Connecting Care Based on cost savings if the same rate of stated admissions prevented during the pilot continues – based on £60 for an average cost of a face to face assessment by a community nurse - Department of Health reference cost 2012/13

potential financial benefits

Time saving 10,000 users could see an annual saving of £155,278 of ‘people time’ as Connecting Care users spend much less time calling other organisations for information

Based on salary cost savings if only one call per week per user is saved where the medium salary between NHS bands 7 to 8 is used.

Reducing wasted home visits

10,000 users could see a annual saving of £68,000 on stopping unnecessary home visits as a result of using information in Connecting Care

Based on cost savings if the same rate of stated home visits prevented during the pilot continues – based on £60 for an average cost of a face to face assessment by a community nurse - Department of Health reference cost 2012/13

With thanks to Leeds City Council

5 reasons we have been successful so far…..

1. Line of business systems that ‘share’

• You cannot share paper data easily• Good electronic ‘line of business’ systems that share

data are critical

2. Integration Partner • Integration is tricky. Find a software partner who ‘gets it’

3. Money…locally owned money!

• Invest locally….seek national money too, but make your local organisations put skin in the game

4. People….local talented people

• Hire really talented project people….we did, we do, we always will

5. SPIRIT • Overrides everything else• Stamp on ‘organisationally centric’ thinking at every

single opportunity. • Command the morale high ground that the

patients/citizens best interest occupies
