  1. The (ex) Policy Maker’s View Chris Ham 31 March 2005

  2. Why the policy on chronic disease? • Increasing need in the population • International and UK trends are clear • Large numbers of people are affected • Progress on other priorities created opportunity to focus on chronic disease

  3. Policy builds on the past • NSFs for heart disease, diabetes, mental health, older people etc • NICE guidance on drugs and technologies • Primary care and new GMS • Expert patient programme

  4. Policy is still evolving • The NHS Improvement Plan • NHS and Social Care Long Term Conditions Model • Case management and community matrons • Self care guidance from DH

  5. Working with Kaiser • An un American integrated system • High quality outcomes for its population (HEDIS) • Risk stratification • Much lower bed day use (33% of NHS rates)

  6. Level 3 Highly complex members Intensive or Case Management Level 2 High risk members Assisted Care or Care Management Usual Care with Support Level 1 70-80% of a CCM pop Population Management:More than Care & Case Management Redesigning Processes Measurement of Outcomes & Feedback Targeting Population(s)

  7. CHDBed days per 100,000 aged over 65

  8. Lessons from Kaiser • Know your population and focus on the 3 Rs • Break down barriers between primary and secondary care • Improvement occurs through commitment and not compliance – led by doctors

  9. Caveats • The comparisons are not exact (though the bed day differences are large) • Is there a substitution effect at work? • Kaiser is not perfect and its model is being undermined by the market

  10. Implications for the NHS • This will be a key policy priority for the future • Some of the systems reforms are not consistent with the policy • Foundation trusts and PbR risk reinforcing the acute care paradigm

  11. Implications (2) • The NHS must work across all three levels of the triangle • Integration of care is essential • The risk is that the policy is seen as the responsibility of PCTs and nurses

  12. Implications (3) • Targets for bed day reductions (5%/12%) are relatively modest • The NHS already has some excellent services e.g. diabetes in Northumberland • The best primary care provides a good starting point, and new GMS should help

  13. The next challenge • We must fully engage the acute sector and social care • We need strong medical leadership at all levels • We must promote service and clinical integration, even in the face of contradictory systems reforms

  14. Following up • C Ham et al ‘Hospital bed utilisation in the NHS, Kaiser Permanente, and the US Medicare programme: analysis of routine data' BMJ, 2003; 327: 1257-60 • D Singh Transforming Chronic Care, HSMC, University of Birmingham, 2005 • c.j.ham@bham.ac.uk
