Key Performance Indicators Measuring Quality Please note the KPI s are to be finalised to ensure the most effective measures are included in the model Current service provision Non-dependent KPI s across 5 contracts KPI s Do not reflect the whole patient pathway acute care, social care, third sector, making baseline data analysis redundant No coordination of KPI s leading to possible duplication of service Currently 27% of patient in the last year of life will present at ED Currently 0.4% of the total population is registered on EPaCCS 1111 Patients in Mid-Notts died in an acute setting which is 66% of all deaths. Proposed KPI s central data source from EPaCCS KPI Threshold % of deaths in preferred place of care A 5% annual increase in the number of end of life care patients that die in their place of choice or usual place of residence (Year 1) Number of patients with written advance care plan or evidence that an advance care plan discussion has been offered Year one establish a baseline for all patients with an advance care plan Annual % increase until 90% of all patients on the end of life care register have been offered an advance care plan 0.7% of all patients in year one and continue to maintain Increase number of patients identified on EPaCCS Patient Identification Reduction of unnecessary ED attendances to hospital for patients at End of Life Additional PROMS evaluations will be undertaken to improve quality to include: Year one establish a baseline followed by an agreed annual % increase ReSPECT, Patient and Public inclusivity and equity, bereavement support and patient quality 3

Summary of Notts ICS EOL Workstream Enablers and interdependencies Workforce: recruit, inspire, retain resilient skilled professionals. Themes and activities in WORKSTREAM (Priorities) 1 1 Implement an identification strategy targeting commonly missed groups (e.g. learning disabilities, dementia, non-malignant long term conditions) and incorporating all relevant organisations including care homes and community groups Gold Standards Prognostic Indicator Guidance Initiatives to promote public discussion of dying, death and bereavement to empower the public to identify their own needs and those of each other. e.g. Dying matters week, Death Cafes etc. https://www.dyingmatters.org/ Identification of patients likely to be in their last 12 months of life 2 IM&T: Ongoing resources required and analysis of data available to feedback activity to organisations on a local level All patients have the opportunity to complete an advance care plan (ACP) http://endoflifecareambitions.org.uk/ a)Dementia patients should be supported to start an ACP within a year of diagnosis b)Those with learning disabilities should be supported to make detailed advance care plans which may require best interest decisions multidisciplinary meetings to ensure full MCA compliance 3 2 Care of the Patient Personalised care plan Holistic Symptom control Communication Care co-ordination Roll out the ReSPECT process www.respectprocess.org.uk/ A robust sustainable long term strategy for developing IT to facilitate sharing of plans. All organisations should be able to access the most recent version of the plan when they need to. Individuals should have easy access to their own plans. http://endoflifecareambitions.org.uk/ http://www.endoflifecare- intelligence.org.uk/view?rid=787 Develop a care co-ordination service, directly accessible by patients, carer and professionals. Accessible to all identified patients 24/7. This should reduce inappropriate interventions and release resources to increase capacity http://endoflifecareambitions.org.uk Estates: 4 Mental health: long waits for psychological support, poor access for those who are housebound. 5 6 Prevention: Strategy to improve pain control in the home. All patients should have prompt access to measures to effectively control pain and distressing symptoms. Hospice UK No Painful Compromise https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng31 Specialist palliative care should be available 24/7 for those with more complex needs. 7 Organisations Out of Hours 111 EMAS Social Care 3rdSector Services Integrated, collaborative relationships required Community partnerships Patient groups Faith/cultural groups Develop a framework for education, training and continuing professional development http://endoflifecareambitions.org.uk http://www.goldstandardsframework.org.uk/training-programmes End of Life Care educational support to primary care, secondary care and community health care teams 8 3 Support those important to the dying person Regular support Respite Bereavement Care 9 Identify carers and undertake a carer s care plan to ensure their needs are met http://www.ncpc.org.uk/sites/default/files/Who_Cares_Conference_Report.pdf Increase capacity for care at times and in places that are currently under-capacity. To ensure black and minority ethnic communities, those in deprived areas, the homeless and imprisoned have equal access to care. http://endoflifecareambitions.org.uk Enable integrated working via suitable contract that mandate this 10 11 Ensure carers are aware of how to access psychological support (pre-bereavement and bereavement care). Develop a Listening Service within practices to increase front line access 12 Commission resources/services to promote patient and carer self care Each community is prepared to help All staff are prepared to care Maximising comfort and wellbeing Each person is seen as an individual Each person gets fair access to care Care is coordinated
In Progress Develop PROMs e.g. IPOS across all providers Case finding via care navigators - LTC data workflows with EOL workflows Roll out Care co-ordination across ICS Consider Notts combined contract (big ask) or Greater Notts combined contract (slightly easier?) Continue Respect process rollout QOF EOL QI local guidance and collation & support of practice plans Enhanced Care in Care Homes Implementation to link with EOL training + stronger links to primary care Developed resources for networks - including shared details of silver & gold accreditation Use the Patient ID strategy across all organisations Incorporate Fast track CHC resources into envelope and consider linking to quality markers.
End of Life Care Together - Part of STP/ICS EOL work stream one of 5 in STP (key element of urgent care) 2 delivery units (Mid Notts & Greater Notts) Chair is both a GP and County Counsellor so brings together health and social care at a strategic level. Opportunities to identify infrastructure resources e.g. training, IT/EPaCCS Patient identification strategy or julie.barker7@nhs.net Changing culture to population wide strategy and integration.
