Abraham George: Kent Year of Care Programme

Kent LTC Year of Care Programme:

Using whole population linked

datasets to develop higher value

models of care

Dr Abraham George

Aims

• Use whole population integrated data sets to help commissioners evaluate relative impact of different integrated care initiatives

• Use routine administration data to develop a different method of commissioning – capitated funding model – to intervene earlier, support independent living, prevent ‘crisis’ and rehospitalisation

• Use the same routine administrative data to develop a different method of payment for services which is not cost per activity but is outcomes based

• Design personal health and social care budgets to support integrated personalisation

Developing ‘currencies’ & identify potential “at risk”

cohort

• Whole population approach (SUS & provider data into local data

warehouse)

• Standard currency agreed across Kent

• List segmented by LTC currency (Bands B – E applied - B=2,C=3-

5,D=6-8,E=9+)

• Tariff to be developed for each currency band

• Risk stratification of whole population using hospital and primary

care data

• Risk Score over time mapped (looking for rise in risk score in last

3 to 6 mths)

• Multi-morbidity mapped for ‘at risk’ group across 18 Long Term

Conditions

‘YOC Cohort’

YOC vs Non YOC average costs

YoC vs non YoC average costs

breakdown

Multimorbidity profile (YoC) Cohort (n=23,600)

Multimorbidity profile (Non YoC Cohort) (n=260,029)

Multimorbidity profile (Whole popn) (n=283,329)

Next steps • Increase the number of GP practices flowing data to

KMHIS

• Increase the number of providers flowing data to KMHIS

• Develop a Data Quality Improvement Plan across the system

• Work with Commissioners and Providers to develop a commissioning model in each health system

• Work with commissioners and providers to develop the contracting model to support the commissioning model

• Develop a standard set of reports and dashboards to support the monitoring evaluation of Integrated Care services across Kent

• Use linked datasets for enhanced analytics purposes (service evaluation, system modelling, economic evaluation of prevention, etc)
