2. Key contractual changes for practices The government has determined that there will be a specific focus during 14/15 on those patients aged ≥75 yrs and those with complex needs All patients aged ≥75 yrs to have an accountable GP. For those that need it to have a comprehensive and co-ordinated package of care.

3. New enhanced service (national) • There will be a new enhanced service to improve services for patients with complex health and care needs and to help reduce avoidable emergency admissions. • This will replace the QOF QP domain and the current enhanced service for risk profiling and care management and will be funded from the resources released from these two current schemes.

4. New enhanced service (continued) • The key features of the scheme will be for GP practices to: • Improve practice availability, including same-day telephone consultations, for all patients at risk of unplanned hospital admission • Ensure that other clinicians and providers (eg A&E clinicians, ambulance services) can easily contact the GP practice by telephone to support decisions relating to hospital transfers or admissions • Carry out regular risk profiling, with a view to identifying at least two per cent of adult patients – and any children with complex needs – who are at high risk of emergency admissions and who will benefit from more proactive care management • Provide proactive care and support for at-risk patients through developing, sharing and regularly reviewing personalised care plans and by ensuring they have a named accountable GP and care coordinator • Work with hospitals to review and improve discharge processes; • Undertake internal reviews of unplanned admissions/readmissions

5. Key requirements for CCGs • To support practices in transforming the care of patients aged 75 or older and reducing avoidable admissions by providing funding for practice plans to do so. • To provide additional funding to commission additional services which practices, individually or collectively, have identified will further support the accountable GP in improving quality of care for older people. • This funding should be at around £5 per head of population for each practice, which broadly equates to £50 for patient aged 75 and over. • pg14, paragraph 36, Everyone Counts: Planning for Patients 2014/15 to 2018/19
