Transforming Community Services Vanessa Griffiths
What TCS is about • Transforming community services • The interests of patients and carers are paramount • Quality is the organising principle • Driven by a commissioning strategy which has quality and reducing inequalities at its core • Delivering value for money • Enabling integrated care
Separation of the functions of the PCT • Part of the plans for transformation • Commissioning part of the PCT now NHSLCR • The provider services now LCR CHS • Functioning as an Autonomous Provider Organisation (APO) with separate managerial and governance arrangements • Legally remain a single organisation • Options for the future of total separation but not yet • Contractual arrangements between NHSLCR and LCR CHS for the services that they provide • Allows each part of the organisation to concentrate on their main purpose
Strategies for delivery of service transformation • To achieve transformation NHS LCR together with LCR CHS will need to develop a transformation programme which addresses • Strategy • Culture • Technical/process • Structure
So what happens next? Review of types of service provided Identification of enabling programme by service line to support transformation i.e. clear articulation of the strategic goals; cultural change required and how; technical support such as information systems; structural change required
At the heart of change • Any proposed changes must meet the key WCC challenges – e.g. should deliver: • Better health • Better care • Better value • Robust risk assessment of change and mitigation plan in place • Structural change is only part of the solution and is delivered through a commissioning process
