JSNA and JHWS From evidence to service planning
Needs and Assets • Deficit approach • Focus on needs and deficiencies • Understand communities by their problems • Services commissioned to fill gaps/fix problems • Dependency on professionals • Individuals/communities disempowered and passive recipients • Assets approach • Values skills, knowledge, connections, capacity & potential of communities • Positive, aspirational • What works well • Active participation in solutions • Co-production in health & wellbeing
Across the UK • National pilots • NHS North West – Stockport, Liverpool, South Cumbria, Central and West Lancashire • NHS Wakefield • NESTA • The Kings Fund • I&DeA • Marmot
Reformatting the JSNA In relation to the JSNA, it is recognised that the routine intelligence provided needs to be expanded to include ‘both intelligence about assets and the evidence of what has worked elsewhere in meeting the needs or enabling the assets identified’ and to ‘embed assets in strategic processes’ (NHS North West)
Greenwich JSNA • From 2013-14 will begin to incorporate an assets assessment into its JSNA/ commissioning process. • UEL brief: develop a local JSNAA model
Approach • Concept framework • Develop a conceptual assets model that maps unto commissioning cycle • Case studies • In-depth exploration of selected exemplars • Toolkit • Co-produce operational model/toolkit with the Greenwich JSNAA Assets Working Group • Interviews • Discussions with local informants and assets experts
Challenge An assets based approach challenges how services are designed and delivered and requires a fundamental realignment of the relationship between commissioners, providers, service users and communities
Emerging issues • Language • Mindset • Organisational culture • Political buy in • Power shift
