Polyclinics Learning Development
26 June 2008
  • Financial and Commissioning Models

3
Why do we need this workshop?
  • Polyclinics are a new type of service model in
    the NHS
  • World Class Commissioning places new requirements
    on PCTs for information driven commissioning
  • The tools and processes are currently not
    available to PCTs to provide this

4
Support is being provided by HfL to assist PCTs
with Commissioning
  • HfL is providing tools to assist and support PCTs
    in answering key commissioning questions
  • These models are being launched today
  • Further detailed technical support will be
    provided in more technical workshops
  • Models have been tested with some PCTs during
    development
  • Models have been designed to meet local
    requirements by being flexible.

5
Six questions to answer when commissioning
Polyclinics
  • What services should be commissioned in
    polyclinics?
  • What levels of activity should be commissioned in
    polyclinics and how should these activities be
    defined and measured?
  • What is a realistic price to pay for this
    activity at a polyclinic?
  • Does the proposed polyclinic price represent
    value for money compared with existing provision?
  • What is the overall financial impact of
    introducing polyclinics
  • What is the overall cost of our commissioning
    plans and is this affordable?

An approach to commissioning in polyclinics
Proposed solution for polyclinics
Current situation in non-acute care
Acute system
What is commissioned
  • HRG
  • Dominant FCE in spell
  • Service lines/packages of care
  • No agreed currency for community care

How much? (volume)
  • Prior year activity
  • Commissioning model
  • Activity not always tracked

What is the cost of delivering the service?
  • Reference cost Index (not seen by commissioner)
  • Financial model
  • Not broken down by activity

What price do I pay?
  • PbR tariff

Through this work we identified 12 service-lines
11
The service lines can be split into sub-service
lines

Why use service lines?
Service lines
1
  • allow us to define packages of care including
    interventions required in alignment with clinical
    evidence base
  • facilitate clinical leadership and encourages
    integration of care
  • act as the basis for measuring quality and
    productivity in a systematic way
  • allow alignment of resources with patient need
  • reflect a practical level of detail given the
    current environment of block budgets and limited
    payments-per-service

16
In Trusts, service lines lie between the
directorate (division) and HRG (activity) level
they are the natural business units
  • Should follow natural structure of the
    organisation and be self-contained units
  • Number of service lines needs to be tied to the
    natural structure and operations of the
    individual organisation there is no hard and
    fast rule
  • All sub-parts of the service line should have
    aligned objectives and common performance
    measures
  • Where possible service lines should be comparable
    in size and complexity

Source Monitor
17
Monitor have found that service line management
can also unlock the potential of hospital staff
From
To
  • Its not my job
  • I feel ownership of my service and can make
    improvements to how service is delivered.

Clinicians
Managers
  • Its not my fault..
  • I feel that I am a true thought partner for
    clinicians and help provide the management
    expertise to ensure decisions about the service
    are well informed
  • We never have time to think about bigger
    strategic issues as we are involved in day to day
    operational details
  • We have focused our agenda on those elements
    that we are uniquely positioned to contribute to

Boards/Strategy/ CEOs
We would like to achieve the same results in
Polyclinics

In Germany, activity data is tracked and
aggregated up to service-lines for reporting
purposes
German Community Care System
Activity is grouped up into service-lines
Visits are the unit of measure used for codifying
and tracking activity
19
However, in the UK patient level and resource
group information is not currently widely
available so service lines are the natural
starting point

21
To develop service-lines for non-acute activity
in London we used a combination of top-down and
bottom up analysis
  • Interviewed PCTs and provider arms to determine
    how current activity is measured and tracked
  • Worked with clinicians to review existing
    activity and classify it bottom-up

Service line split
  • Examined current literature and published
    statistics to determine what data is available
    and what current groupings are used
  • Tested and refined draft the service-line splits
    with commissioners, providers and clinicians in
    London, nationally and internationally

Discussion groups for service lines
  • Questions for discussion in groups
  • What is your first impression of Service Lines?
  • How do you think using Service Lines will help
    you commission polyclinics?

29
We have developed a tool which enables the
commissioner to calculate the level of health
services to be commissioned based on population
need
30
To understand patient need for a given health
activity, we must first understand what drives
the need
Activity associated with patient need
Driver of activity
Prevalence of diabetes
Diabetes services
Prevalence of incontinence
Continence service
Births
Post natal care
Smoking rates
Smoking cessation
31
QOF data cannot be used as a proxy for need, as
it frequently underestimates levels of disease
burden
  • Obesity
  • National prevalence rates 23 higher than TH QOF
  • CHD
  • National prevalence rates 12 higher than TH QOF
  • Depression hypertension
  • National prevalence rates 9 higher than TH QOF

34
Activity to be commissioned can be calculated in
three ways
Description
You would use this approach when
  • Apply local or national prevalence rate data for
    the driver
  • Good quality local or national data exists for
    the driver
  • Use national data and amend for local
    demographics (e.g. age, ethnicity) and risk
    factors (e.g. obesity, smoking)
  • Good quality national data exists, but does not
    reflect risk level of local population
  • Use prior year activity data as a proxy for need
  • No good quality data exists, or levels of
    commissioning will not be changed

This could be due to funding issues or due to
the driver in question not being a priority area
for the PCT
35
Case study exercise on commissioning for need
  • For each case study discuss
  • What are the drivers of activity
  • Sources of information on the drivers
  • What adjustments you might want to make for local
    calculations
  • Feedback
  • How did you find this?
  • What parts would you find most difficult?

Service lines in Tower Hamlets? The Case for
Change
  • History of very poor scores in patient
    satisfaction in all surveys Ipsos MORI, Picker
    diabetes
  • High Bangladeshi population 33, of whom 30
    dissatisfied with NHS
  • Worst scores in England on access 2007
  • Not under-doctored overall 220 on performers
    list
  • Access study showed many system inefficiencies
    and failure to use skill mix
  • Health Inequalities work suggested high unmet
    need based on poor outcome data and very high
    SMRs
  • History of siege mentality in practices 2004
    12,000 patient assignments, lists open but
    closed, population growth driving procurement of
    new practices, high patient turnover
  • Current spend just under 10 total, ambition to
    move to top quartile - ? What investment and
    could primary care cope
  • 80 90 patient experience in primary care not
    hospitals care closer to home could increase
    that BUT primary care must be fit for purpose

Why Service Lines?
  • Observation that clinicians spend a lot of time
    on tasks inappropriate for their skills (and
    costs)
  • Ineffective and inefficient use of skill mix
    with more scope for delegation and substitution
  • Many types of presentation share common
    requirements for clinical skills
  • Change to units of clinical skill plus relevant
    admin rather than consultations or
    presentations
  • A GP consultation of 10 minutes plus admin
    backupA Practice nurse consultation of 20
    minutesA HCA contact of 15 minutesGP Nurse
    HCA
  • Care planning approach from Diabetes UK promotes
    self care and high quality consultation but may
    be less time 1 x 45 minute GP, 1 x 30 minute
    HCA instead of 6 x 10 minute Band 7 nurse 2 x
    10 min GP

Top tips for QOF/register use include the
following
  • Compact, regularly updated manual for practices
  • Strong challenge and validation of QOF by
    multidisciplinary team, particularly of high
    claimants
  • Dedicated PCT resources for targeted performance
    development ,particularly for low claimants
  • Calculation of actual versus expected numbers on
    registers, and systematic recovery plans
  • Strict criteria for exclusions, with audit.
    Supported plans to reduce legitimate causes e.g.
    patient non-attendance.
  • Calculate staffing requirement for registration
    and full annual patient review. Workforce plan
    for most cost-effective skill mix.
  • Use integrated governance to drive for standards
    higher than QOF, and/or consider use of Local
    Enhanced Service agreement
  • Promote systems of effective medicines management
    and patient adherence to therapy with support
    tailored to vulnerable groups
  • To improve sustainability, carry out intelligence
    based campaigns to ensure most cost effective
    prescribing linked outcomes.
  • Draw QOF and prescribing data together, with
    relevant hospital usage measures, on a
    benchmarked practice dashboard of inputs and
    outcomes

Demographics do not drive QOF performance
Example correlation of QOF DM17 vs deprivation
for English GP practices
Practices with challenging demographics do not
typically use exception reporting to improve QOF
scores (or at least, no more than other practices
do)

CONFIDENTIAL WORKING DRAFT
TH patients affected by each condition
Most likely reason for discrepancy
QOF (06-07)
  • Model prevalence in line with other estimates
    (22 according to Health Survey for England)
  • QOF is likely missing significant portion of
    obese pts

5,7
Obesity
Model
14,6
  • QOF only includes pts w/ at least 3 abnormal BP
    readings, whereas model includes all pts with BP
    140/90 mm Hg

8,0
Hypertension
16,6
1,2
  • Reason for discrepancy is unclear QOF and model
    measure pts 18 yrs old w/ stage 3-5 CKD

CKD
7,9
  • QOF is limited to pts on diabetes and/or CHD
    register w/ depression in past 15 months model
    follows DSM-IV diagnosis criteria (pts w/ 5
    symptoms in 2 week period)

5,6
Depression
9,7
1,2
  • QOF is symptom-based and likely detects only
    severe cases (model 0.93), whereas model
    includes moderate and severe cases, both of which
  • COPD is also often misdiagnosed as asthma, due to
    similar symptoms

On average, model predicts 1.48 times more
patients than are currently captured by QOF
COPD
3,4
  • QOF only records pts w/ history of coronary
    artery procedures and myocardial infarction, but
    does not include angina

1,9
CHD
3,7
  • QOF reports only pts w/ EKG-confirmed diagnosis
    in past 12 months, whereas model includes all pts
    currently being treated w/ drugs for history of
    heart failure

0,5
Heart failure
1,6
0,2
  • QOF relies on GP perception of impaired function
    and may thus report significantly fewer cases
    than the model, which includes a range of disease
    severity according to DSM-III

Dementia

AS WE REFINE OUR ASSUMPTIONS, THE RECOMMENDED
INVESTMENT MAY CHANGE
Modification to current calculations
  • Changes to best care assumptions will likely
    increase the staff resources required to serve
    each patient
  • Model includes many non-QOF diseases (not
    included in todays discussion), which will
    increase the number of patient visits
  • We will do a thorough check to ensure model does
    not double count individuals with two related
    conditions that should be treated in a single
    appointment
  • E.g., diabetes diabetic nephropathy,
    osteoarthritis osteoporosis
  • We will check diseases with unexpectedly large
    prevalence rates to ensure only symptomatic cases
    requiring active treatment are included

We have segmented diabetic patients by attitude
to self-management and education to identify
appropriate interventions
Type of barrier to change/attending education
Proactive learners
Resigned
  • Ive had diabetes for a while, Im not going
    to change my lifestyle any more
  • Patient may have very poor knowledge about
    diabetes and control
  • Reticent attitude means often ignore advice,
    dont seek out information
  • Greatest challenge is to get patients interested
    and motivated to learn by tackling psychological
    barriers first

Willing to change
  • I like getting education and managing my
    diabetes is very important to me
  • Patient tends to have good control and good
    understanding of condition
  • Proactively seeks out information
  • Practical issues are main barrier to attendance
    at HAMLET

Not yet willing to change
Rational barriers
Emotional barriers
Psychological/ medical barriers
Confident with unknown knowledge gaps
Confused and anxious
Ignorantly unconcerned
  • I know enough, Im not really interested in
    learning more
  • Patient feels sufficiently informed although may
    lack clarity/information on issues
  • Consequently often moderate to low proactivity
  • Diabetes self-management competes with other
    demands in their lives
  • I dont know what I can eat sometimes or what my
    test scores mean . . .
  • Patients recognise that they lack knowledge
  • However may not be very proactive in seeking out
    help/information
  • Making access to education easier and clinician
    encouragement needed
  • Diabetes is not so bad really, lots of people
    suffer from worse so I think Im doing ok
  • Low level of knowledge, patient doesnt realise
    could be better
  • Low proactivity
  • Challenge is getting patient to appreciate
    seriousness of diabetes and self-management

71
Systematic long-term condition management that
enhances the patient experience within a
polyclinic setting
  • Long-term condition self care comprises
  • An entitlement to a care plan and navigator to
    aid in better self management
  • More choice over nature of care and where it is
    delivered
  • Services feel more integrated, personalised
    responsive

Greater choice of service provider
More information on managing condition
Entitlement to a care plan
More use of assistive technology
Navigator to help choose services
From the patients perspective
 
  • The model of long-term condition care
  • Empowered and informed patients - fully engaged
    and informed (Expert) patients, with continuous
    support and resources offered to patients where
    necessary
  • Team based care - a team comprising of a diverse
    workforce, covering GPs, specialist nurses and
    specialists, as well as those with expertise in
    areas like nutrition, psychology, and behavior
    modification the team works in collaboration to
    improve the health of the patient
  • Comprehensive clinical guidelines - treatment
    decisions based on explicit, proven guidelines
    integrated into the day-to-day practice of the
    primary care providers. Follow up as part of
    standard procedure
  • Real time patient data - all clinicians have
    centralized, up-to-date information about the
    patients status. Information system tracks
    individual patients , as well as populations of
    patients and profile risk
  • Effective risk modeling and patient selection -
    intensity of support matched to an assessment of
    need

What is a package of care?
ILLUSTRATIVE
Service
Example of care
3 visits per annum, 1 with a GP, 1 with practice
nurse, 1 with optometrist. Includes regular blood
tests and optometry tests
4 visits, 1 with a specialist nurse, 3 with
community nurses
5 visits from mid-wife at home
12 visits, 2 with GP, 10 as part of group session
taken by health trainer
75
In defining a package of care, it is important to
define all resource needs
  • For each care pathway, define the types of visits
    first, follow-up, etc
  • For each visit type, define the number of visits
    and average length of each visit
  • Proportion of patients requiring each visit type
  • For each type of visit, define the resource
    requirements in terms of
  • Clinical staff
  • Non-clinical staff
  • Space
  • Diagnostics
  • Supplies
  • Drugs
  • Calculate the resource requirements for the
    average visit. This is achieved by applying a
    weighting to each resource based on the amount of
    time that is used as a proportion of the total
    package of care time

Why use packages of care?
Defining packages of care for patient services
has two key advantages
  • Allows definition of package of care based on
    what high quality care is, defined by clinical
    evidence
  • Allows tracking of quality of service by defining
    number and types of treatment, e.g.
  • Visits with specialist clinicians
  • Frequency and type of diagnostic test to be
    administered
  • Ensures consistency of care across providers
  • Once defined, packages of care enable a stronger
    link between price and commissioning

78
In reality, packages of care will vary at a
patient level according to patient needs
Example Mild Diabetes sub-service line
Average
Price or no. of visits
Because commissioning reflects population need,
the average package of care is used as a basis
for commissioning
Simple cases
Complex cases
Packages of care commissioned
79
Defining packages of care
Packages of care can be defined in a number of
different ways
  • Based on clinical evidence base, e.g. NICE,
    NSFs, Cochrane reviews, map of medicine
  • Using locally agreed pathways
  • Interviewing staff at service providers to
    understand resource requirements

80
Group exercise for packages of care
The groups determine packages of care for 3
sub-service lines of increasing complexity Mild
CHD, Continence, Falls Service
  • For each sub-service line, fill out the package
    of care template with
  • Number of visits
  • Staff involvement (clinical and non-clinical)
  • Diagnostic requirements
  • Space requirements
  • Discuss
  • How would you approach this in your PCT?

Appendix
94
How would you account for GMS- or PMS-type
contracts in the financial model?
Commissioners can enter details of existing
contracts and the proportion of them that should
be allocated to each sub-service line. The model
then calculates the pre-existing funding flows
applicable to each sub-service line.
The value of the contract is entered
The activities covered by the contract are
attributed to the relevant sub-service lines
The funding from the contract feeds through to
the PL for each sub-service line
