Kent LTC Year of Care Programme:

Using whole population linked

datasets to develop higher value

models of care

Aims

• Use whole population integrated data sets to help commissioners evaluate relative impact of different integrated care initiatives

• Use routine administration data to develop a different method of commissioning – capitated funding model – to intervene earlier, support independent living, prevent ‘crisis’ and rehospitalisation

• Use the same routine administrative data to develop a different method of payment for services which is not cost per activity but is outcomes based

• Design personal health and social care budgets to support integrated personalisation

Developing ‘currencies’ & identify potential “at risk”

cohort

• Whole population approach (SUS & provider data into local data

warehouse)

• Standard currency agreed across Kent

• List segmented by LTC currency (Bands B – E applied - B=2,C=3-

5,D=6-8,E=9+)

• Tariff to be developed for each currency band

• Risk stratification of whole population using hospital and primary

care data

• Risk Score over time mapped (looking for rise in risk score in last

3 to 6 mths)

• Multi-morbidity mapped for ‘at risk’ group across 18 Long Term

Conditions

‘YOC Cohort’

YOC vs Non YOC average costs

YoC vs non YoC average costs

Multimorbidity profile (YoC) Cohort (n=23,600)

Multimorbidity profile (Non YoC Cohort) (n=260,029)

Multimorbidity profile (Whole popn) (n=283,329)

Next steps • Increase the number of GP practices flowing data to

KMHIS

• Increase the number of providers flowing data to KMHIS

• Develop a Data Quality Improvement Plan across the system

• Work with Commissioners and Providers to develop a commissioning model in each health system

• Work with commissioners and providers to develop the contracting model to support the commissioning model

• Develop a standard set of reports and dashboards to support the monitoring evaluation of Integrated Care services across Kent

• Use linked datasets for enhanced analytics purposes (service evaluation, system modelling, economic evaluation of prevention, etc)
