Context

• 30% to 50% of Primary care workload is MH related (especially depression).

• Seventy to eighty percent of young men in prison/offenders have a MH condition.

• Patients with MH conditions who remain untreated suffer a 15-25 years’ reduction in their life expectancy and poorer quality of life.

• MH has the largest disease burden in the UK (22.8%) compared to CVD (16.2%) and cancer (15.9%)

Architectural Framework

• Strategy: current and future activity - and local intelligence

• Patients’ - and carers’ - experiences and outcomes• Clinical quality: in particular, clinical outcome• Access / targets / KPIs• Finance: including income/expenditure and cash flow• Efficiency: including discharges and use of resources• Workforce: including workforce planning, violent

incidents and satisfaction

Processes and Events

• Every enterprise has functional processes• Each functional process generates events of interest • For example, as part of the Assessment process, a

patient was admitted to a hospital as an in-patient• That’s an event of interest to the enterprise

(a.k.a. a Fact).• All Facts have data that can be analysed At the very

least, it can be counted. • The data warehouse is an automatic spin-off


Example of PIs for a single area

• Engagement with partners e.g. social services, general practice, housing, home office:

– Progress against joint strategic objectives– % delayed discharges– % delayed admission for people on section of the Mental Health Act– % children in adult beds– % admissions with length of stay of less than one week– Out of area assessments and treatment– Continuing care placements– % stable patients seen in outpatient clinics (rather than primary care)– Balance of prescribing between primary and secondary care for atypical antidepressants, ADHD meds– Readmissions– 7-day follow ups– Gateway workers– Prison transfer waits


Process Improvement

• Processes to be end-to-end defined• Ward staffing – as an example• Here are the goals:

– Understand and predict staffing levels

– Plan rostering

– Manage use of bank and agency staff

– Create automated workflow for bureau (bank and temporary staff) take-on . . . including training, know-the-patient, and help systems


Quality and Performance


Safety and Safeguarding (1)

• Insufficient just to record incidents

• Insufficient to investigate single incidents in isolation

• Need to show patterns of unsafe behaviours

• Need to differentiate types of incidents

• Need to understand trends

• Crucial input to risk management

• Essential component of good governance


Safety and Safeguarding (2)


Architectural Actions1.Understand the organisation2.Review internal documentation3.Identify key stakeholders4.Meet key stakeholders5.Identify current business systems6.Identify organisational priorities – provision of information to ensure

good governance, and to ensure patient safety. 7.Define the current business strategy, governance, and organisation8.Define the key business processes, including the events.9.Define the required future state10.Identify the steps required to move to the future state

1. in terms that make sense to the business, and 2. which can be then implemented technically.


Architectural Deliverables

• Definition of current state– Business vision and strategy . . . including issues/challenges– Governance– Organisation– Processes

• Articulation of future state• Step change plan for the business, from here to

there• Articulation of technical implementation – the next

layer down in the Enterprise Architecture© Redwing Business Intelligence 2013 Architecture Slide 13

Technical Architecture Spin-Off


Summary

• Purpose of business architecture is to enable new and improved business and information systems to be put in place.

• Those systems must serve the Board’s vision

• And support monitoring and governance

• And always . . . first and foremost . . . serve the patient above all else
