Supporting life after stroke – lessons from the CQC review Michael Carpenter mpcarpenter@gmail.com
What did the review look at? The care and support provided to people who have had a stroke and their carers • including health and social services • after people have left hospital • for as long as they need it …using the Quality Markers from the National Strategy
How did it work? Secondary data QoF, HES, CQC NI set, PSS surveys PCT Main form Transfer home information analysis Case File Tracking Local Assessment Report National Report Adult Social Services Main form National engagement work +support for improvement
What did the review find? • Early supported discharge is available across only 37% of areas • In 48% of areas average waits for community based speech and language therapy exceed two weeks • Only 37% of areas provided rehabilitation services to people based in their community, focusing on helping them return to work. • In around a third of areas not all carers could access peer support, such as carer support groups or befriending schemes. • Most people are given a pack of information when they leave hospital but only 40% of these packs contained good information on local services. • While 68% of areas provided a named contact to help people plan and organise their care after transfer home, but in only half of areas did these contacts look across health, social and community services
What did the review find? The best services… • listen to people with stroke, their families and carers • support people to make choices • adapt to people’s different needs – such as those of younger people with stroke or people in care homes • are well organised – so things happen smoothly and people don’t experience gaps between services.
Barriers (1) Good news: agreed vision, good data, active users But: • Focus on acute end of the pathway • Problems engaging social care • Practical barriers to ESD • Failure to engage stroke survivors and carers
Barriers (2) Tensions: Central v local Acute v community Clinical v Social Change
Driving further improvement …across whole pathway Consolidate national systems: Standards, data, ‘outcome measures’, tariff/£ Local coordination and sustainability: PCT, GP consortia & Council Better information to support person-centred care and accountability Harness user voice National, local & individual
