INTEGRATED CARE NETWORKNORTH WEST REGION 8 FEBRUARY 2005INTEGRATED DAY SERVICES
INTEGRATED DAY SERVICES - CONTEXT • Morecambe Bay PCT is a Mental Health Trust • It straddles Cumbria Social Services (South Lakeland) and Lancashire Social Services (Morecambe/Lancaster) • The remainder of Lancashire has a Lancashire-wide Mental Health Trust with a total of 8 PCTs across Lancashire • Population of Lancaster/Morecambe is 135,000, with a PCT total of approximately 270,000 • A local Lancaster Health Group – Modernisation of Older Peoples Services (MOPs) oversees Health/Social Care Developments
INTEGRATED DAY SERVICES - DRIVERS • District Audit Report 99/00 identified good range of services but inequity of access and inconsistencies in approach in deciding if day care or day hospital is provided • Audit commissions “Forget Me Not” Report • PCT commissioned a review which confirmed that services were not meeting people’s needs • Lancaster Health Group undertook a further detailed needs assessment which triggered the project to transform existing services into a new integrated enhanced model of day time support
INTEGRATED DAY SERVICES - NEEDS ANALYSIS • Audit of current users in both systems against a dementia scoring continuum • Postcode analysis for locations • Demographics • Transport issues • Partnership sites
INTEGRATED DAY SERVICES – NEEDS ANALYSIS FINDINGS • Mismatch of client need, resources used and skills available • People attending SSD care with no diagnosis • Some users getting unnecessary CPA and consultant input purely because they are in a Health System • Day care and day hospital not working together – no sharing of skills, training etc • Poor knowledge of each others skills/roles • Clients attending both day care and day hospital – no co-ordination of care
INTEGRATED DAY SERVICES – NEEDS ANALYSIS FINDINGS • Gaps for functionally ill and physically dependent • Lack of “space” for Health to develop proper therapeutic interventions e.g. Memory Assessment Clinics (MAC) • No one offering an appropriate service for dementia sufferers under 65 • Current SSD day care unsuitable environment for dementia care and physical dependency

INTEGRATED DAY SERVICES – CHALLENGES • “Leap of faith” required by both partners • Budget implications of moving to specialist provision – whilst developing model in parallel • Consultants – letting go • Integrated transport arrangements • Charging • Consultation- User and Family expectation
INTEGRATED DAY SERVICES – LEARNING • Different LA and PCT decision making processes can hamper progress • Tension between PCT commissioners and providers • Allow more time for consultation, engage with advocacy organisations at earliest opportunity • Identify and use key players/champions who will drive it through • Engage with frontline staff regarding both the model and their role within it • Make use of Workforce Advisory Groups to develop roles • Keep Users as the central focus and this will dismantle some barriers
