  1. The Integrated Resource Framework Dr Sheena MacDonald Senior Medical Advisor

  2. Starting Point for the IRF… It’s not just about Finance Departments “Clinicians & Care Professionals.. have a crucial role... It is they who commit resources.” “Governance structures need to allow them freedom to act and to ensure there is accountability for their actions.”“Finance needs to be structured in a way that supports this.” Prescription for Partnership Audit Commission Dec 2007

  3. Integrated Resource Framework Context - a perfect storm Demographic pressures Economic pressures Planning in the margins of historic activity Marginal or strategic planning? Performance or variation? Bottom line or opportunity cost? Administration or stewardship?

  4. Integrated Resource Framework • Policy • Partnership working across health and social care • Shifting the Balance of Care • NHS Quality Strategy • Reshaping Care for Older People • Two planning disconnects • Within health – between primary/community and acute • Between health and social care • Need to shift resources to support shift towards better, • more appropriate care – and better outcomes

  5. Integrated Resource Framework Triple Aim • IRF underpinned by the Triple Aim of a rational care organisation, defined by the Institute of Health Improvement (IHI) as: • Improving population health • Improving individual experience • Reducing costs • Each test site will use an “integrator” structure to direct resource use across health and social care and oversee progress towards the Triple Aim.

  6. Some supposedly simple questions: Do you know how much you spend per head on people over 75 yrs? Across Health and Social Care? Is there variation: by locality? by GP? in the type of care provided? in outcomes? Integrated Resource Framework

  11. Moving Forward……. • How do we engage clinicians • Where do we, as clinicians, influence the patient pathway and the concomitant distribution of resources • Where and how could we influence the patient pathway if the current constraints imposed upon us by lack of integrated resources were removed
