1. Changing children’s lives-how to deliver concerted action Edinburgh 14thSeptember 2012

2. Three phases • Assemble the knowledge about the problem and the evidence for change • Build the will to do something about the problem • Chose a method for change and deliver at scale

10. Do social conditions determine the incidence of disease? • For centuries they have and they still do in the developing world • Plague, leprosy, polio, diphtheria, typhoid, tuberculosis • BUT in the developed countries • It is how we respondto social conditions which largely determines our risk of chronic ill health

15. Sense of coherence.... “.....expresses the extent to which one has a feeling of confidence that the stimuli deriving from one's internal and external environments in the course of living are structured, predictable and explicable, that one has the internal resources to meet the demands posed by these stimuli and, finally, that these demands are seen as challenges, worthy of investment and engagement."

16. ....the social and physical environment must be: Comprehensible Manageable Meaningful ......or the individual would experience chronic stress For the creation of health....

32. Focuses on problems, needs and deficiencies in a community such as deprivation, illness and health damaging behaviours. It designs services to fill the gaps and fix the problems. As a result, communities can feel disempowered. People become passive recipients of services rather than active agents in their own lives Health Deficits approach

33. A health asset is any factor or resource which enhances the ability of individuals, communities and populations to maintain their health and sustain wellbeing. The assets can operate…as protective and promoting factors to buffer against life’s stresses Health Assets Morgan 2009

34. Strengthen Community Actions • Health promotion works through concrete and effective community action in setting priorities, making decisions, planning strategies and implementing them to achieve better health. At the heart of this process is the empowerment of communities - their ownership and control of their own endeavours and destinies.

36. A System

37. Functions of a system • To allow a few people to control many • eg. Captain of a ship • Allows production of a great deal of the same thing • Goods or services • Needs to create consumers or clients • ie Creates need

38. The multi service system

39. Associations of citizens Decide what the problems are Decide how top solve them Organise to implement the solution

40. Social connectedness • 148 studies comprising 308,849 participants, high levels of social integration conferred a 50% increased likelihood of survival. • Complex patterns of social integration conferred a 90% increase in survival. • Simple indicators such as living alone versus living with others conferred a survival benefit of only 19%.

42. Coproduction The conventional delivery model does not address underlying problems that lead many to rely on public services and thus carries the seeds of its own demise. These include a tendency to disempower people who are supposed to benefit from services, to create waste by failing to recognise service users’ own strengths and assets, and to engender a culture of dependency that stimulates demand. Co-production has the potential to transform public services so that they are better positioned to address these problems and to meet urgent challenges.

43. A life course approach? • Early years • Youth alcohol and offending • Rehabilitation of offenders • Employment and local entrepreneurism • Physical fitness • Support for the elderly

44. Improvement science • W Edwards Deming (1900-1993) • “In God we trust, all others must bring data” • “By what method? Only the method counts.” • Don Berwick • “Some is not a number. Soon is not a time.” • Scottish Patient Safety Programme • “By how much and by what method?”

45. Executing the change • There are many change theories and models. We must choose a small number of improvement methods and stick with them for the long haul. • They must all be based on the simple formula of aims/measures and changes. • Our selection may be; • Collaboratives • Benchmarking and competition • User/ Community empowerment • Performance management • The choice must be explicit and evidenced.

46. An early years collaborative • Agree outcomes • For pregnancy, early development and preparedness for school • Agree interventions to achieve these outcomes • Five or six evidence based interventions for each stage • Apply interventions consistently across the whole population • Measure progress and react to the data

48. Outcome Aims • Mortality: 15% reduction by 2015 • Adverse Events: 30% reduction • Ventilator Associated Pneumonia: 0 or 300 days between • Central Line Bloodstream Infection: 0 or 300 days between • Blood Sugars w/in Range (ITU/HDU): 80% or > w/in range • MRSA Bloodstream Infection: 30% reduction • Crash Calls: 30% reduction
