Frailty Concept/ Hospital without Walls Professor Pradeep Khanna MBE Chief of Staff, Community Services Aneurin Bevan Health Board
Commissioning & Care Planning • Strategic Planning • Specify Outcomes • Develop Business Case • Procure Services • Manage Demand • Maintain Performance
CASE FOR CHANGE • Demand will always beat supply • Pressure on cost is remorseless • NHS can not provide a comprehensive service on current assumptions after 2011 (Kings fund and the Institute of Fiscal Studies – IFS)
Some Facts • Nearly 33% of inpatients could safely be cared for in another setting than in an acute hospital [Kings fund audit 1992; DOH 2000] • 29% of patients in acute hospital beds are medically stable [43% in elderly wards] [Barbara Vaughan; Gill Withers 2002] • In Wales, higher proportion of chronic long term conditions (23%) compared to England (18%); Northern Ireland (20%) • Audit of 5 GP Practices in Swansea revealed 3% of population with 2 comorbidities + emergency admission accounted for 59% of hospital admissions [Ref = WAG 2007 – Designed to improve health …chronic conditions Wales] • Conclusion: A focused integrated approach of Health and Social Care, Housing and Transport is recommended
Drivers For Change • Wanless Report: Hard hitting facts about Health Services in Wales • Designed for life: Strategic framework: Health & Social Care Services in Wales • Fulfilled lives, Supportive Communities: Emphasis on Social Care • Making the connections [Public involvement & redesign services around the needs of the users] 5. Primary Care & Community Services Strategy (Chris Jones)

Hospital-at-Home: definition……… Hospital care but delivered in the person’s own home !!! HaH = “….a service that provides active treatment by health care professionals, in the patient’s home, of a condition that would otherwise require acute hospital in-patient care, always for a limited period.” Cochrane definition, 2005 Combination of personal support & rehabilitation care
Admission AvoidanceHospital at Home/Inpatient Care(Review) [Systematic Review & Meta Analysis] • Mortality at 3 months NS (P= 0.15) • Mortality at 6 months Significant (P=0.005) • Readmission Rates NS (P=0.08) (within 3 months) • Functional Ability (12 months) i. Quality of Life ii. Physical abilities iii. Cognitive Status NS Reference: Sheppard S, Doll H, Etal: The Cochrane Library 2009: Issue 3
Hospital at Home • CLINICAL OUTCOME: (Adverse Events & Medical Complications) • Bowel Complications = 22.5% (96% C.I = 34% to 10.82) • Urinary Complications = 14.4% (95% C.I = 25.4% to 3.3%) c. Antipsychotic Prescribing = 14% (95% C.I = 28% to 0.3%) in Dementia Patients • COPD = Antibiotic = 18% (95% = 34.6% to 1.4%) • PATIENT SATISFACTION: Significant (P < 0.0001) 3. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS: (Co Morbidity: Older Group) Costs = Per episode $2011; 95% C.I (= $2800 to $1222) = Per day $293; 95% C.I (= $318 to $268) • CONCLUSION: Admission Avoidance Hospital at home can provide an effective alternative for selected group of Patients (Outcome Similar)
Early Supported Discharge Teams Vs Conventional Care11 Trials (6 countries) Conclusion: “Appropriately Resourced and Co-ordinated Services” in clearly defined Target Groups has clear potential benefits Langhorne P, et al - Lancet 2005;365;501-506
THE EVIDENCE-BASE FOR INTERMEDIATE CARE RCTs • HOSPITAL-AT-HOME 22 • DAY HOSPITAL 12 • NURSE-LED UNITS 10 • COM. REHAB.TEAMS 2 • CARE HOME REHAB. 1 • COMMUNITY HOSPITAL 1 Message: (a) Target people with greatest clinical need (Frailty) (b) Integrate I.C with Mainstream Services Expensive Very expensive Shifts costs to social care
Messages From Research • Develop closer integration between IC and Mainstream Services • Target Patients with greatest clinical need: Frailty • Place stronger focus on Admission Avoidance Scheme (Health & Social Care) (Closer liaison with Ambulance Service, 3rd Sector, A&E, Mental Health) VANTAGE POINT • Reablement: • More Research/Evaluation needed

What we stand for:Principles & Values The underpinning principle of theGwent FrailtyProgrammeis to provide: ‘Help when you need it to keep you independent’ The mantra for those delivering services is to provide help that is Sustaining independence.
Outcomes:What frail people tell us they want • Be able to remain living in their own home with support • Receive services in their home • Be listened to by people who are responsible for providing services to assist them • Have their health and social care problems solved quickly and considered as a whole rather than individually.
