The scale of the challenge
• Individuals to be able to view their records, and to record and edit information about what matters to them – by April 2018
• Records to be interoperable, digital and real-time – by 2020
• Professionals to view and use this as a means to improve service and experience of care
• Draw information and evidence/metrics from records
• Ideally align records and data collection

Potential North West issues
• Patients that cross boundaries when using EoLC
services (e.g. 15% -20% of EoLC patients in one
acute trust not from that locality), or move

Potential North West issues
• Patients that cross boundaries when using EoLC services (e.g. 15% -20% of EoLC patients in one acute trust not from that locality), or move
• Standardising (as much as possible) the processes and flow of information to NWAS from 33 CCGs
• Use of other shared resources (e.g. hospices / other organisations that cross boundaries)
• Providing patient access
• Reporting and monitoring of outcomes (measuring ‘like for like’)
• Use existing systems
• Avoid / reduce duplication of existing EoLC
recording
• Replace / reduce other non-electronic EoLC
communication
• Quick and easy to use, avoiding over use of
text
• Ensure sustainability and make ‘future-proof’
North West requirements
• Identification of 20 EPaCCS ‘localities’ across the North West (from 33 CCGs), and subsequent setting up of EPaCCS Task Groups to meet regularly and represent the range of stakeholders within a locality involved in End of Life Care (EoLC).
• Creation of a common dataset – the North West EPaCCS dataset – a minimum implementation of which ensures ISB 1580 compliance, but which also includes other frequently used information commonly shared by end of life care services. Accepted by all localities in 2013, and continually updated to reflect changes to the standard.
The North West EPaCCS – achievements so far - 1
• System supplier created, nationally available, EPaCCS templates based upon the NW EPaCCS dataset available and in use in local systems – EMIS Web/LV/PCS (available since 2013), INPS Vision+ (available since 2014), TPP SystmOne (now available locally), iPM Lorenzo (Morecambe Bay), Graphnet (available since Nov 2014) etc.
• Training materials for the national EPaCCS templates to support local rollout of their use, and provide resource for EoLC facilitators etc involved in supporting EPaCCS use.
The North West EPaCCS – achievements so far – 2
• A‘Why EPaCCS?’ film to encourage and promote the use of EPaCCS by clinicians in all EoLC services.
• A North West template for an EPaCCS Information Sharing Agreement (ISA), shared with all localities for their adaptation and completion.
• An ISB compliant End of Life View available in the MIG (Medical Interoperability Gateway) supplied by Healthcare Gateway. This is currently the only commercial solution allowing for the streaming of information recorded on GP systems to be shared with other organisations.
The North West EPaCCS – achievements so far - 3
• Regional support and networking provided through the creation of EPaCCS Network Implementation Groups (NIG) – for Cheshire & Merseyside, Greater Manchester, and Lancashire & Cumbria – that meet quarterly, and share best practice / developments via a Yammer network.
• Targeting and support for locality EPaCCS implementation set through the Eight Key Areas document, RAGB-rated on a quarterly basis, and fed back through SCNs and AHSNs to organisations. Starting in GM, this has been developed into an AHSN supported performance dashboard to be rolled out further.
The North West EPaCCS – achievements so far – 4
• First examples of real-time EoLC information being shared through EMIS to EMIS, and via the MIG with other services including OOH etc. happening across the region.
• Continuing work with NWAS and The Christie to agree a co-ordinated means of receiving real-time EoLC information either through the MIG Shared Record Viewer or Graphnet.
The North West EPaCCS – achievements so far – 5
• EPaCCS Supplier meetings held twice yearly to pursue regional development and initiatives in terms of interoperability.
• Link into Lancashire Patient Record Exchange System (LPRES) and Datawell interoperability solutions for Lancashire & Greater Manchester.
• Work ongoing to promote EPaCCS implementation through Transform agenda.

Cheshire
Where did it all start?
• October 2012- bid for 50K underspend monies Specialist Palliative Care
-Manchester & Cheshire Cancer Network- 2 year coordination/IT support
• May 2013- Attended National EPaCCS Roadshows
1. Don’t wait around for the all singing , all dancing system that does everything you need it to do- or you will still be here in 2 years
2. Don’t underestimate the level of end of life training and communication that you will need to put into this to make it a success
How did this influence the approach we took in Cheshire?
1. GP System to be the driver for EPACCS
• 49/52 Practices using
• Community Provider use with District Nurses, Matrons
2. Clinically led throughout
• GP Clinical Lead
• Specialist Palliative Care Teams
3. Supported by project coordination and education
• End of Life Partnership host coordinator and lead education
• EPaCCS steering group with IT representation
North West EPaCCS Lead
1. Encourage use of the template • Current users of EMIS Web • Quality incentive /contracts for GP’s • Marketing & Resources with support North West Lead • Reinforce through local training , projects and audit • Create GSF automated Register functionality
2. Influence wider access to EMIS Web
• Identify key teams involved in end of life care • Support local Hospices and help sourcing funding
3. Get EPaCCS onto wider locality ICT agendas
• Integrated Care e.g. Caring Together • Pinoeer Cheshire – Cheshire Care Record • Electronic Patient Records- Hospitals
4. Obtain local evidence base to demonstrate impact
• Public Health Data collection- EMIS Enterprise • Develop reporting cycles as part of GP contracts/ LES
5. Purchase software to enable interoperability
Project Plan 2014-Present Day
The Summary View
The End of Life summary view will allow you to see an overview of all the read codes entered for End of Life , including those entered by other teams e.g. Macmillan, District Nurses, Matrons, Specialist Nurses
NB: Providing your practice has agreed and activated the sharing of information with these teams
Benefits of using one system for EPaCCS
• No double entry for clinicians‘
• Dovetailing of existing local IT strategies
• Allows for a clinically led approach
• Ease of locality reporting - EMIS Enterprise
• Consistency of education
• Consistency of communication
• Negotiating power at locality level with EMIS

Dr Mark Spring, GP Sandford Surgery, Dorset and
Clinical Lead for Urgent Care Services
"The enhanced functionality to create enriched SCRs is
simple. I can record information once and share it easily,
which is fantastic! As an Out-of-Hours GP, I know the
importance of making sure essential patient information
can be accessed.
Creating enriched SCRs empowers other people looking
after my patients to be able to access accurate and
detailed information – it reassures me that my patients will
receive the best possible care whenever they need it.”
SCRs with additional information Supporting urgent and emergency care

Supporting EPaCCS…
• SCR is being used in a wide number of care settings
including emergency, palliative and end of life care
• Provides a cost effective solution for health communities to
accelerate local record sharing and an opportunity for
settings with lower digital maturity to be included
• SCR is available wherever the patient is treated across the
NHS in England:
• beyond the footprint of the EPaCCS system
• beyond the EPaCCS core user group
• where the EPaCCS system is not available
• … so, SCR can supplement your existing local record
sharing plans…

* The SCR provides the end of life preferences entered in the GP practice system
- complementing local Electronic Palliative Care Co-ordination systems (EPaCCS)
SCRs with additional information Supporting end of life care
“The Summary Care Record provides a great opportunity
for everyone to have their views and preferences digitally
recorded by their GP practice*, and viewed when
necessary, during the final stages of their life. This can
bring enormous peace of mind to these individuals and
those close to them, and help professionals who are
trying to deliver care in accordance with the individual’s
needs and wishes.”

EPACCS is not a Care Plan!
It is essential information that:
Allows care co-ordination 24 / 7
Gives & Key information at a glance – guiding an urgent / emergency response
It also:
1. Is a clinical system
2. Depends on up to date registers and information
3. Requires a critical mass of usage to work
The Challenge in Manchester
1. Is it easier, better, simpler, quicker than what happens now?
2. Multi agency info – what do we leave out?
3. 3 Acute Trusts, 3 Hospices, 3 CCG’s, 80 care homes 100 GP practices 1 Out of Hours, 1 Local Authority, Ambulance emergency dispatch & new 111 system.
The Challenge in Manchester
4. Demands & pressure of clinical work – time poor – GP - QP, QoF, LES, DES.
5. Double inputting, Double consent – Evolution - when is it slick enough to roll out!
6. Pressure to deliver 2008 Strategy - Oct 2013 Target – annual funding – Incidents – Business cases!
The Challenge in Manchester
7. Over 2 years a lot can change - Centralised – localised – One team , Place based care Integrated Health & Social care – GM Devolution.
8. Higher threshold for Social Care impacts on health care – What system do Health & Social Care professionals need?
...and some potential show stoppers
• Has every one got a NHS net account or an N3 connection?
• Will it work on mobile devices that may be bought in the future?
• Information sharing agreements, clinical steer / leadership?
• In a commercial relationship – to develop a product.

Manchester Care Record – Led by clinical need
• Manchester GP’s views on the benefits & risks of not sharing data:
Dr Paul Wright, GP, Manchester: “A shared care plan improves ownership and communication with patient and between caregivers. As well as reducing the need for repetition (tests, questions, referrals, etc,) a common IT platform gives us an opportunity to share standardise processes and reduce variability”
Dr Sarah Taylor , GP, South Manchester: “The current system sometimes involves GPs faxing. This is not timely, not always accessible and the quality of information shared is variable. This system allows relevant information to be shared much earlier in the patient's care and in a more consistent manner.”
• Early stage clinical co-design
• Capture & share concept embedded
Manchester Care Record – Benefits & Outcomes
• Manchester had already seen real benefits from integrated approach…
Patients are involved in shaping their plan
• Patient controls access to information & influences the type of care they receive
• Don’t have to remember/repeat medical history
• Avoid unnecessary tests
• Improves outcomes and experiences.
Analysis of the first 2,044 patients
• Cost: Ensuring that commissioners pay appropriately for care
• Overall activity and costs have reduced by 9%
• Current savings to date for these patients are £360,987
• Savings in Emergency Admissions show a 15% reduction in activity and 8% in cost. Overall, the cost savings in Emergency Admissions account for 58% of the total savings so far.
• The largest percentage reduction is shown in A&E activity (19% reduction).
Over 6,000 patients sharing data and care
plans in place. • Proactive: Using data we have
identified people who would benefit from an intervention (high-risk)
• Coordinated: Draws together the correct, relevant information to identify and coordinate the best interventions for that individual
• Safe & Effective: Avoids harm, decisions based on correct, up to date information
• Decision making: Use information to identify whether care delivery is effective and improvements required
Manchester Care Record – Benefits & Outcomes
Use of MCR:
• Member of community team ‘walked the ward’ & identified she had a care plan
• Viewed care plan and shared care record on her laptop
by the patient’s bed
• This identified the lady had recorded end of life wishes and community team worked with the consultant to manage a discharge
Outcome:
• Patient remarked she was very pleased that hospital team could contact her keyworker
• Patient died, at home, as she wanted
Positive, but the process needed the community member of staff to identify and pass on details to the consultant – what would the impact on best practice be if those EoL wishes were flagged and immediately accessible to consultant at the point of admission?
Elderly lady with lung cancer admitted to hospital
Benefits seen in Manchester
1. Existing Information Governance experience and frameworks
2. Existing clinical and managerial steering group arrangement with shared ownership, ethos & skills
3. “Ready” IT infrastructure & feeds/links – and organisational relationships
4. Opportunity to streamline capture of data and avoid double-entry
5. Implementation and adoption easier with existing benefits case and migrated historically captured data – forming part of a patient pathway that is instantly accessible and available
6. Opportunity to expand on existing benefits case for specific patient cohorts – maximise these for full Manchester population?

#EPaCCS
Project brief
To “examine both the impact of EPaCCS on the experience of care towards and at the end of life, for patients, carers and those who are important to them and staff and look at the
body of evidence appropriate to the cost effectiveness of EPaCCS.”
The Whole Systems Partnership 66
Analysis of EPaCCS extracted
data
Approach
The Whole Systems Partnership 67
Survey in 2 locations
(EPaCCS & Non-EPaCCS)
12 in-depth interviews (2 patients, 4 carers, 6
professionals
Comparison of ONS data for place of death over 4 years Analysis of
hospital costs over last year of life for those who died in hospital
5 evaluation sites (with
EPaCCS since 2012)
6 ‘control’ sites (no EPaCCS reported in
2015)
Back-drop of all-England figures
Interviews with 8 ‘system leaders’ ?
What have we found?
The evaluation design has sought to ‘triangulate’ findings from a range of different sources and angles – this means that we can say with confidence that:
There is a consistency of positive messages, even if on their own they fall short of being conclusive – no single deal clincher, but lots of pointers in the right direction;
We have found no counter-messages, although the presence of EPaCCS has highlighted certain challenges in delivering good quality end of life care;
The contribution that EPaCCS makes meets with resounding support from all stakeholders.
The Whole Systems Partnership 68
Our in-depth interviews 12 people interviewed;
2 patients, 4 carers and 6 professionals;
Cancer bias in patients/carers groups;
3 GPs, 2 clinical nurse specialists in nursing homes, 1 paramedic;
10 EPaCCS, 2 non-EPaCCS participants;
2 face-to-face interviews, 10 by phone;
1 research interviewer, 2 secondary listeners;
NHS SI Team or clinical leads identified participants.
The Whole Systems Partnership 69
What people told us works well
The shared record speeds up care;
It prevents re-telling a story and therefore builds a sense of continuity for the patient and carer;
It enables patient choice e.g. PPD at home;
EPaCCS facilitates conversations about advance care planning;
Details matter in EoLC - personalisation affects perception of overall quality of care.
The Whole Systems Partnership 70
Challenges – identification for EPaCCS inclusion
Long-term conditions should/could be included, but identification can be challenging, for example in MS the natural history could be relapsing/remitting, so its more difficult to identify the last year of life:
“It’s criteria based. We don’t consider you as being in the last year of life, so we won’t put you on the
register. I’m wanting to talk about it, but it’s closed off.” [Male patient, 49, EPaCCs site]
The Whole Systems Partnership 71
Challenges – difficult conversations
Key to entry into EoLC and EPaCCS – gatekeeping;
Taboo - clinicians fear raising the subject:
“Depends on how empowered the family is. If you’ve got a gentle, timid family, they often don’t fare as well as those brave enough to ask questions. If you’re able to ask a question, that goes a long way. You need to be able to ‘speak healthcare’. We need a different attitude.” [Female carer, 67, non-EPaCCS site]
Conversations take time:
“It’s not the time it takes to do the data entry, it’s the correct conversations with patients, carers and families that take time.” [Female GP, 52, EPaCCS site]
The Whole Systems Partnership 72
Responding to the challenges
EPaCCS can surface these, and other challenges, in delivering person-centred and co-ordinated care at or approaching the end of life;
But the challenges don’t undermine the potential benefit that EPaCCS can bring;
EPaCCS needs an environment in which there is an ongoing process of building capability across the workforce and for all aspects of end of life care.
The Whole Systems Partnership 73
Key messages Patients, carers and professionals all express enthusiastic support for the benefits that EPaCCS can bring;
System leaders see EPaCCS as an important tool to improve coordination of care, and outcomes, at the end of life;
‘Success’ in terms of EPaCCS implementation needs to reflect a broad range of quantitative and qualitative measures that are routinely collected and reported locally for purposes of system improvement;
The costs of EPaCCS are low relative to the costs of care and it is possible to argue that they have the potential to reduce costs for hospitals.
The Whole Systems Partnership 74
End quotes [Patient]: “how can they say I’m not in the last year of life when I
could’ve been in the last days? I can’t play the game. It’s as if they’re saying, ‘It’s our football and you’re not playing.”
[Carer]: “she died where and how she wanted, like a Hollywood death.”
[GP]: “there’s a changing emphasis in facilitating a good death, rather than being scared of death. They fear that letting someone die is
doing something wrong or letting someone down.“
[Paramedic]: “they know an ambulance will turn up to help them. We didn’t use to know the plan but now I do. Electronic records are
invaluable.”

Why EPaCCS?
Salford EPaCCS
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES HAVING AN EPaCCS MAKE? Steve Gene Assistant Director of Nursing Palliative & End of Life Care 17.03.16
One of 8 original pilot sites - system live late 2011
• Multisystem – EPR, Primary Care Interface (SIR), Vision & EMIS
• System user training – primarily those with skills for significant conversations
• Automated data extraction (EPR) established
The story so far….
• Secure e-mail alerts real time – DNs & GP OOH (GP via ‘Docman’)
• NWAS & Hospice via nhs.net
• 554 patients 2014-15 (430/488 PPD = 88%)
• 2015-16 = 50>60 entries/month – PPD to Feb = 441/489 = 90.2%
The story so far….
• PPD = GM KPI & ongoing local KPI
• Embedded acute & community CQUIN
• Embedded ‘Salford Standard’ from April ’16
• Integrated Care Organisation & Shared Care Record (work in progress)
Embedding
Challenges
• Earlier use & the 75% rule
• Expansion beyond ‘core users’
• Social Care - particularly Care Home access
• Ongoing professional engagement
• Data transfer (quality & viewing)
• ‘Whole system’ reporting
• System limitations
• Data quality, transfer, viewing & reporting
• Ownership - maintenance & assurance
• Untapped potential (e.g. No. predictable deaths for Salford)
• Patient & carer engagement
• Best option to capture ACP – keep going!
Lessons learned
Enhanced Summary Care Record
• To improve communication with those involved in the care of patients who are approaching their end of life. To:
• Enable patient to be cared for in their place of choice
• Support carers to care for patient at end stage of life
• Patient to die in their place of choice
• Improve patient /family experience at a difficult time
• Support professional decision making in a timely manner
• Prevent hospital admission if not necessary
• Direct services where needed
2015 North Tyneside • GP palliative care registers at 0.52 %
(national average still 0.2%)*
• DNACPR in place in 87% of patients on register
• Deaths at home –55.4%
• Nursing Homes residents dying at their home - 83% (next best rate 73%)
• Specialist Palliative Care Team now in 16/40 Residential homes
Residential Home residents dying at their home -77%

• Financial support
Strengths
• Fed into national and regional discussions regarding data sets and highlighted problems that had not yet been identified
• Created new awareness and links into NECS
• Strengthened relationships with partnership organisations and identified gaps e.g. NEAS
• Connectivity with all the other end of life developments in North Tyneside
• Communication strategy
• Local champion
• Project management has continued despite funding circumstances
• 4 pilot practices on SystmOne in place ready to go live
(50% of NT practices on SystmOne and all NH and the team’s RH patients are on SystmOne)
• Northumbria ( nearly ) ready to look at view of eSCR for end of life patients- MIG
• READ codes –those used by pilot are ok regarding Version 2.1 except for Preferred Place of Care
• Working with NECS to link their and our work into 111
• Focus group feedback to be collected for patient family and professional groups
• Continue to feedback Regionally and Nationally
• End of Life Work streams continuing in NT so once eSCR in place the uptake will be immediate
• Would like to pick up again with other partnership organisations to take this forward and gather impact from them accessing eSCR

Delivering the right care, at the right time, in the right place
Current EPaCCS Challenge • Put first 9 DSAs in place
• Deploy 999 CAD to MiG/Graphnet interface to auto query GP flags on addresses
(Governance moves - No need for only EPaCCS compliant and integrated CCGs to use ERISS)
• Provide access to MiG/Graphnet instances on 111 Adastra via planned upgrade
(deploy to existing 111 clinicians/999 UCD/999 CSH)
Delivering the right care, at the right time, in the right place
Summary • 111
• Adastra upgrade will reduce the reliance upon SPNs for EoLC information – presence of tab will signify presence of a plan
• 999
• Clinical flags on addresses will always be required to alert crews to presence of a plan
• Clinical flags function within ERISS remains key until 999 CAD to all GP records is achieved
• 111/999
• ICDRs embedded within Adastra and coupled with iVCH is the objective

Managing an EPaCCS implementation across organisations

EPaCCS Strategy
• Only one palliative care record per patient • The Master palliative care record will be held on their registered
GP practice IT system. • To utilise the Healthcare Gateway MiG service to access a
patients palliative care record on their registered GP practice IT system or EMIS-to-EMIS sharing
• All GP practices use the NW EPaCCS dataset • Work closely between LNCCG, UHMB, GP OOH,Community and
local Hospice • All GP Practices hold regular palliative care meetings • Developments discussed and publicised through GP
Development days and LNCCG IT Group meetings

LNCCG Urgent Care dashboard contains GP practice Palliative Care registers
Issues
• All GP Practices must use the same EPaCCS template
• Some GPs add patients to their GP Practice Palliative care register prior to discussing with the patient – this is unacceptable practice with data sharing
• All GP practices MUST check their palliative care registers prior to go-live
The Future
• The North West EPaCCS dataset is the beginning of the MiG V2 journey
• LNCCG GPs have developed a new dataset called Crisis Care dataset and data collection template.
• LNCCG GPs are collecting data against the new template • Healthcare Gateway, LNCCG and UHMB are working together to
get this new dataset operational. • The new dataset collects data for patients who have
• Cancer • COPD • Dementia • Heart Failure
