12. Review of packs Q & A

13. Earlier Diagnosis and Stopping Smoking

16. Southwark PCT: Spend by practice ( £ per patient per year) on NRT + Varenicline

17. Stopsmoking in inpatients CQUIN Enablers National VTE CQIN

18. Stopsmoking in inpatients CQUIN proposal Numerator: all adult emergency and elective admissions from all specialities coded as F17.2 (narrative = dependent smoker, cessation advice given) Denominator: all adult emergency and elective admissions coded as F17.1 (if the narrative accepted by coders is patient asked and confirmed that they smoke)

19. Stopsmoking in inpatients CQUIN proposal Target levels • Expect numerator to reflect the adult smoking prevalence in the local community (rates will be PCT-based not catchment based). • Suggest minimum 20% • CQUIN target: recording of 50% of those. That is, 10% of the adult hospital population. We would expect 90% of those 10% to receive advice to trigger CQUIN payment.

20. Earlier Diagnosis and Stopping Smoking • Review and share data and select the questions you find most relevant • Prepare poster with 3 actions that you commit to

21. Earlier Diagnosis and Stopping Smoking • What is the smoking prevalence of your COPD and asthma population? The trends? • If you don't know, how might you get the data? • If you do know, how can you get the rate lower? Where are the smokers? Consider routine and manual workers, different ethnic groups, people with mental health problems

22. Earlier Diagnosis and Stopping Smoking • Do you accept the stop smoking as the treatment for COPD message? • What does that mean for how stop smoking services are organised, delivered and monitored? • In the community • In hospitals • What incentives are you prepared to consider eg LES, CQUINs

23. Earlier Diagnosis and Stopping Smoking • What is the trend in diagnostic rates for COPD? • What is the spread of disability, in terms of MRC scores? • How is the quality of spirometry assured? • What comparative data do you have to share with practices?

24. Responsible respiratory prescribing

25. Responsible respiratory prescribing • Review and share data and select the questions you find most relevant • Prepare poster with actions that you commit to (with names)

26. Responsible respiratory prescribing • Do you accept the LRT’s seven messages? • If not, why not? • What do you need to do differently? • What do others need to do differently? • How can you take it forward locally? • What opportunities are there to tie in with medicines use reviews? • How do you assure the competence of the professionals teaching inhaler technique?

27. Reducingexacerbations and admissions

28. Reducingexacerbations and admissions • Review and share data and select the questions you find most relevant • Prepare poster with actions that you commit to (with names)

29. Reducingexacerbations and admissions • What do you know about your admissions and readmissions for COPD? Number, trend over last three years; quality of coding? • What do you know about length of stay? • What proportion of your admissions for a COPD exacerbation were undiagnosed prior to admission? • What patterns do you observe in admissions (people, times of year, times of week)?

30. Reducingexacerbations and admissions • How do your services match the demand? • What is your reaction to the COPD discharge bundle – have you/could you implement it? • How do you incentivise right care - eg continuity of care with a GP (Purdy)? • Will you commit to describing right care to two (or more) colleagues?

31. Reducingexacerbations and admissions • What capacity do you have to offer all people admitted with MRC2 or above access to a PR programme? • If you need to expand it, how will you do that? • Are there other places that have similar problems to you that you can learn with/from?

33. Proposed COPD discharge bundle CQUIN • Numerator: Number of patients admitted for more than 48 hours coded: J44.0 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute lower respiratory infection OR J44.1 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute exacerbation, unspecified in first or second position and are discharged with a completed care bundle

34. Proposed COPD discharge bundle CQUIN • Denominator: Number of patients admitted for more than 48 hours with ICD10 code J44.0 or J44.1 in first and second positions • Payment threshold: 75% in year one and 95% in year two 2012/13
