Why a Stakeholder Involvement Network? • Demonstration of commitment to engagement • Enable views to be gathered in relation to relevant matters • Establish good practice in relation to engagement and partnership • Create a resource for network participants and for those involved in policy development, commissioning and planning.
Recap from 21st June workshop • broad support and enthusiasm for a regional network. Network could add value by: • systematic sharing of information and practice and • securing resolved views and advice from a diverse stakeholder group on regional challenges and opportunities to improve health and wellbeing.
The network, “has the potential to be an effective influencer; we will look to it to reflect the views and aspirations of stakeholders, so that Government priorities are rooted in the experience of users and stakeholders”. Andrew Hamilton, June 2007

Draft Framework Aim • To create a process that brings together stakeholders to work collectively to improve health and wellbeing in Northern Ireland by facilitating the exchange of knowledge, ideas and information to inform and influence policy and actions through an open participative regional network.
Objectives • To develop a network of stakeholders in Northern Ireland linked to existing networks in order to create a regional system which adds value to all who participate. • Develop mechanisms that enable the network to identify and prioritise regional themes which can contribute to Programme for Government and Priorities for Action • To become an effective influencer in strategic decisions making and priorities, through informed collective responses.

Overview of Policy and Planning Cycle Sean Donaghy
Theme for informing response to Programme for Government and 2009/10 PrioritiesIndependent Living • Health and Social Care strategies and policy • Draft Programme for Government • Why hasn’t it happened already, how can we move from policy to practice?
Direct payments • Health and Social Care introduced schemes to allow individuals to control funds to meet their care needs over 15 years ago • Very low levels of take-up • Vela Micro Boards in Southern area • Potential for enhancing choice and moving to truly person-centred planning • What about 1,000s of people with Chronic Disease, Older People, in addition to current limited progress in Physical and Learning Disability? • How do we move to personal choice as the core approach?
Anne Lynch Regional Director of Commissioning (Designate) Health and Social Care Authority
What is Tele-Health? • At its broadest definition…..conducting therapeutic health and/or care interactions between patients/clients and health and care professionals by supplementing any face to face contact with technological links • Sometimes ‘tele-health’, ‘tele-care’, tele-diagnostics’, ‘tele-monitoring’ used almost interchangeably
A number of people stay at home independently Linked electronically to a central nurse led service Vital signs transmitted daily by patients/clients to nursing station What is Tele-Monitoring?
The Imperative • Demography – working age population to grow by 8% by 2019 • Over 65 years population to grow by 35% by 2019 • More single person households • Chronic diseases will increase • Many people currently in and out of hospital frequently when they could be supported more appropriately elsewhere
Chronic Diseases • Heart Failure • Respiratory diseases • Diabetes • Stroke • Physical Disability • Cancer
Who could benefit? • Patient selection is key • Used in conjunction with traditional home care • Provided 7 days a week • Customised reports sent to GPs etc.
What is needed at home? • The electronic kit as shown • Working phone line • Home is safe for the equipment • Person can perform monitoring by 12 noon
How does it work on a daily basis? • Patient/client uses his/her home based technology to monitor vital signs • Device also asks disease specific questions • Patient transmits information to central Nursing Station • Nurse monitors information and evaluates anything outside normal parameters • Nurse contacts patient, District Nurse, GP etc as appropriate
Dashboard: shows daily readings of patient specific information
Benefits • Supports people in their own homes • Reduces hospital acquired infection risk • Develops expert patients • Health improvement benefits for the family circle • Potential for community capacity development
Decreases frequency of nursing visits but makes them more appropriate and targeted • Specialist nurses/others can be sent to homes where necessary • Better planning for the case load of people in a local area
Promoting Independenceby Supported Housing
Basic Assumptions • People would prefer to live ‘in their own home’ for as long as possible • In principle, people should have that right.
What (if anything), in terms of health and care dependency, might limit people in exercising such a right? • What can reasonably be done by Government, to promote it?
Current Supportive Policies • Appropriately designed new build housing • Housing adaptations • Sheltered Housing • ‘Housing with Care’ • ‘People First’ • ‘Supporting People’ • ‘Floating Support’ • ‘Community Safety’
Considerations for Policy-makers • Real joint planning of Housing and Care budgets – not just aligned policies • Ensuring that Government Departments really agree the level of dependency of people who can be maintained at home • Planning for population need or responding to market forces
Considerations for Planning Schemes • Combination of independence and safety • Entry criteria for residents • Size of schemes – influence on range of facilities that can be provided
The importance of location and design features of individual dwellings • The ‘housing’ element of ‘Supported Housing’ is not a secondary consideration for residents • Informal support from family and volunteers is integral to functioning
Connecting with real experience You are having lunch with a colleague from another organisation who is planning to set up a service incorporating Telehealth/Direct Payments/Supported Housing/Other. Describe an incident or event from your own or others’ experience or evidence from research with which you are familiar which would illustrate to him/ her what it takes to put this in place in a way which truly promotes independent living for the service users? Have you an example from your experience on how NOT to go about it? The stories/incidents must be real i.e. describing something that actually happened
Informing Policy • In the light of your earlier conversations and the themes which emerged, what three suggestions should be factored into government policy in regard to: Telehealth/Direct Payments/Supported Housing/Other which would help people live independently with maximum autonomy in the areas which they can exercise control? • Have you any further comments or questions for the plenary session?
Almost there • Please complete evaluation forms and return. • Provisional date for next event 20th March 2008 • Presentations available on web • Please return name badges for recycling • Lunch and opportunity for networking • Thank you for coming!
