Reducing Admissions to Hospital from Preventable Causes of Physical and Mental Ill Health PDF 81 KB Report of the Chair of the Clinical Commissioning Group detailing the reduction of admissions to hospital from preventable causes of physical and mental ill health, attached.
Minutes: The Shadow Health and Wellbeing Board considered the report of the Chair, Clinical Commissioning Group detailing how the Southampton City Clinical Commissioning Group would reduce avoidable admissions by improving the management of long term conditions and developing ways of increasing care available in the community.
The CCG had outlined its approach to achieving a healthy and sustainable system within its Clinical Commissioning Strategy 2012-17 and prioritised the following:-
· Gain more control within the system recognising that the way patients accessed services in the present system was too random and variable. More systematic arrangements were needed to drive up quality. · Focus service redesign work on strategic priorities in mental health, early years and care for older people. The management of long term conditions in cardiovascular health, lung health, diabetes and mental health would be centred on improving care pathways, including self care, integrated care management and complex needs, but also recognised the links across pathways so that improving one would potentially help with the others. · bringing it all together through the transformational approach of Integrated Person-Centred Care
The Board supported in principle the approaches that had been suggested and made the following points:-
RESOLVED i. That the areas of priority be supported; ii. That detailed consideration be given at the January meeting of the Health and Wellbeing Board to the subjects of improving mental health support and the arrangements for implementing and operating the new 111 service and the ways in which they could contribute to reducing hospital admissions; and that the appropriate representatives of Hampshire Constabulary be invited to attend; and iii. That a reporting system be developed to provide progress updates to the Health and Wellbeing Board. |

Joint Commissioning Strategy PDF 162 KB Report of Chair of Clinical Commissioning Group detailing a Joint Commissioning Strategy, attached. Minutes: The Shadow Health and Wellbeing Board considered the report of the Chair, Clinical Commissioning Group detailing the progress towards a joint commissioning strategy which had been developed on the experiences of many years of partnership work between health and social care across the City of Southampton.
The Board noted that joint commissioning had initially started with pooled budgets, using Health Act flexibilities for mental health, substance misuse and learning disabilities and joint appointments for managers to lead the work on behalf of both organisations. In 2009 work was further strengthened when the Primary Care Trust and Southampton City Council moved to a formal alignment of commissioning for Adult Health and Social Care Services with the appointment of an Associate Director to discharge leadership for both organisations.
The Board also noted that recently Southampton City Council and Southampton City Clinical Commissioning Group had confirmed their commitment to continuing with joint commissioning arrangements within the newly restructured NHS arrangements and the wish to explore opportunities for developing this further. A Joint and Integrated Commissioning Board comprising of the Clinical Commissioning Group Chair, Accountable Officer and Elected Members and Directors from the City Council were developing proposals based on the report to further develop Joint Commissioning including the development of a shared team.
The Board noted that The Joint Commissioning Framework set out how the organisations would commission together and outlined the areas of focus for Integrated Commissioning and the organisational and governance structures required to support effective and safe implementation.
The Board made the following points:-
RESOLVED i. That the principles for joint integrated commissioning outlined in the strategy be approved; ii. That the necessary steps be taken to ensure that the actions contained in the final version of the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy were reflected in future years’ commissioning plans; and iii. That the implementation of the Strategy be supported. |
