The burden of long term conditions • Almost one in three of the population (and half of those over 60) have a long term condition. • This group accounts for two thirds of the health spend. • The number of people with comorbidities is expected to rise by a third in the next ten years. • Common mental health problems affect about one in seven of the adult population, with severe mental health problems affecting one in a hundred. • These conditions fall more heavily on the poorest in society Source: Dept. of Health, England (2012)
Local Maori Health StatisticsHealth Needs Assessment 2005 • Cancer death rate 40% higher • Respiratory death rate 80% higher • More likely to smoke • Make up 15.2% MDHB’s pop • Poorer health yet 14.2% admissions • Three times more likely to not attend outpatients
Horowhenua • Higher diabetes discharge rates compared to MidCentral overall • 18% more than expected COPD hospital discharges compared to MidCentral overall • 19% higher than expected neoplasm (cancer) deaths compared to MidCentral overall (age adjusted). • Children aged 5 showed poorer dental health than children from Manawatu • The highest proportion of smokers among MidCentral territorial authorities (24.6%) • 20% higher than expected number of deaths compared to MidCentral overall • Lowest % of households with access to a car

The Way Services Are Organised & Utilised Does Matter • Despite standardised approaches to management of common conditions there are major differences in way the care is delivered both nationally & locally • Current way services are utilised is based on the way they are structured & provided • Limited effectiveness due to fragmented planning & organisation and opportunity for improvement exists at every stage of the continuum
Changing models of care Moving to care models that shift expenditure / activity away from hospital care, deploying resources more effectively to improve health outcomes and patient experience. Ref: Dr Helen Bevan, NHS Institute
Patients with Complex Needs(Integration: A Report from the NHS Future Forum) • Intensive users of services, repeatedly crossing traditional organisational and sector boundaries. • Gaps, duplications or poor reliability of care multiplied as their journeys progress • More difficulty in understanding their or understanding their often tortuous care journeys making it more difficult to exercise choice or control, or manage their own care • Needs may include education, social care, housing & justice
Patients with Complex Needs(Integration: A Report from the NHS Future Forum) • Groups most likely to benefit from integrated care include • Children and adults with complex needs • People with enduring mental heath problems • Homeless people • Frail older people and their carers • People at the end of their lives receiving palliative care
Expectations for patients with complex or long-term needs (Integration: A Report from the NHS Future Forum) • To receive care as close to home as possible • To be informed about the options available to them • The opportunity to discuss their options with a professional skilled in shared decision making • Easy access to a named care coordinator who knows them and is able to provide a tailored level of support to navigate their care journey and make choices at appropriate junctures • To know what to expect at each step of planned care journeys
Expectations for patients with complex or long-term needs (Integration: A Report from the NHS Future Forum) • To have an integrated care plan and where appropriate be offered an integrated budget • Every provider involved in the individual’s care to have access to their care record • Transitions between professionals, teams and organisations to be safe, smooth and efficient • To understand clearly and simply what care and support they are eligible for and how they might pay for it if they are not eligible for state funding • To be confident that appropriate information, training and support are available for carers
Definition of Integration “the act of making a whole out of parts, the coordination of different activities to ensure harmonious functioning”
Clinical Integration • Many approaches with different terminology: shared care, transmural care, intermediate care, seamless care, disease management, case management, continuous care, integrated care pathways, integrated delivery networks • Patient centric view and needs of complex patients with chronic illness are considered • Scope varies but requires some form of seamless care or multiprofessional approach that values the role of all health professionals • Aim to improve coordination and integration of services
Integration • Types of integration (e.g., organisational, professional, clinical, functional) • Breadth of integration (e.g., vertical, hori- zontal, virtual) • Degree of integration (i.e., across the continuum: linkage, co-ordination to full integration) • Processes of integration (i.e., cultural and social as well as structural and systemic)
Clinical Integration • Different models of care: consultative, collaborative, coordinated, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, integrative • A continuum from informal to formal arrangements with an increasing intensity of governance in the relationship between the providers • More fully integrated systems coordinate more information, activities and resources and consolidate organisational structures • Unlikely one model appropriate for all organisations or situations
Principles of Clinical Integration (Valentijn PP. Int J Integr Care 2013) • Coordination of person focused care in a single process across time, place and discipline • Requires a person-focused perspective to improve someone’s overall well-being and not focus solely on a particular condition • Patient as a co-creator in the care process; with shared responsibility between the professional and the person to find a common ground on clinical management • Emphasis should be placed on a person’s needs, with people coordinating their own care whenever possible
Requirements For Change In Healthcare • The essential requirements for success are: • Broad-based clinical leadership • District-wide service planning & organisation • Avoiding the fragmentation induced by existing service structures • (Bate P, Mendel P, Robert G: Organizing for Quality. Oxford: Radcliffe Publishing; 2008)
MidCentral DHB Journey to date • Access • Community Participation • Coordination of Services • Infrastructure Development; increasing sector capacity • Integration between primary and secondary care • Quality

Network: an interconnected group or system Clinical Network: is a social-professional structure made up of doctors, nurses and allied health staff tied through inter-dependencies such as collegiality, friendship, referrals, function or common interest Braithwaite 2010
New Zealand Networks • National • Cardiothoracic - Stroke • Cardiac - Long Term Conditions • Regional • Cancer • Midlands: maternity, elective, cardiac, renal, rural, stroke, mental health/addictions, older people, radiology • Central: cardiac, renal, mental health/addictions, older people, population health, (stroke) • Greater Auckland Integrated Health Network • District • Canterbury: • aged, child & youth, collaborative care, IFHC’s, laboratory, long term conditions,medication, pharmacy, primary care liason, rural urgent • Healthcare pathways • MidCentral: • child/tamariki, mental health/addictions, cancer, elder, urgent, long term conditions, (elective) • Collaborative clinical pathways (Map of Medicine)
Network Types • Informational Networks • Education, research and guidelines • Co-ordinated Networks • Care pathways, joint assessments, no binding contract, a ‘managed clinical network’ • Procurement Networks • Budget given to a lead funder or provider, to contract with a range of organisations to deliver integrated care • Managed Networks • Highly managed long-term network of partners, e.g. Kaiser Permanente delivering and co-ordinating care for a whole population (Goodwin et al, 2006)
“Need to harness the natural complex sociotechnical properties of the Health System”Braithwaite, Runciman & Merry 2009
Two Types Of Networks • Type A: purpose-designed, funded or imposed by authority, in structured organisational or institutional forms [designed, mandated networks] • Type B: those composed of the relationships amongst clinicians, via professional interests, referrals, supports, friendships, communications & advice [natural networks] Braithwaite, Runciman & Merry 2009
