Appendix Six: Integration - DHB community based services 1. Aspirational statement: West Coasters with complex health needs will receive co-ordinated and consistent care from their health providers working together as an integrated health team. 2 Project overview This project establishes integrated health teams inclusive of general practice based primary health practitioners and non general practice based community health nurses 42 and allied health staff, to ensure the provision of integrated and co-ordinated multi disciplinary care and a holistic approach to meeting the populations' needs. 3 Problem definition Traditional medical centres, or general practices, care for their enrolled populations. Some of those same patients are cared for by district nurses, and other community based nursing and allied health professionals, both as hospital inpatients and post discharge, sometime for an extended time period. But the two systems of care are not routinely or systematically well connected together. They operate to a large extent as parallel systems of care. When the two systems do intersect, it may be purposeful, eg. a GP refers a patient to district nursing, or it may occur by accident, eg. one individual is employed as both a practice nurse and a clinical nurse specialist, or a district nurse and a GP happen to know each other and have a working relationship. This work stream aims to better connect these two significant health care workforces, and to do so systematically and fundamentally, to ensure patients will benefit from co-ordinated and consistent care. Key issues identified as a result are: Lack of co-ordination of care across the different systems of care and difficulties for the patient navigating through the system: - communication gaps between primary and secondary health providers (referral, discharge, treatment) - duplication of care, and consequent unnecessary costs 42 "community health nurses" is defined broadly; it is taken to include: district nurses, public health nurses, rural nurse specialists, neighbourhood nurses, immunisation coordination & outreach nurses, Well Child & Plunket nurses and clinical nurse specialists (cardiology, respiratory, oncology, palliative, diabetes etc) Business case appendices V12 AC 25Feb2010 Page 52
- lack of consistency of care between providers; inconsistent information given to patients by different providers Inequalities in health outcomes: - poorer health status for Māori and deprived populations through lower access rates to services Lack of continuity of care: - seeing a different health provider each visit - lack of a single patient record system across health care providers - providers working in silos and not „joining up‟ episodes of care. Problems in accessing services: - services not co-located in some areas, making it particularly difficult for the frail elderly or those without transport who need to see several health care providers - referral system for care outside core primary health team inefficient and unwieldy. Workforce shortages. The patient numbers and, in particular, the patient demand on the health system, relevant to the possible intersection of these two workforces, are significant. An analysis of West Coast PHO enrolled patients and visit numbers for 2009 shows the following: Business case appendices V12 AC 25Feb2010 Page 53
