5. Overview of Programme Budget.6. Key messages, recommendations and issues for service design
a) Do we under implement lifestyle interventions and prevention. There is scope for system and scale development.b) Obesity as a future risk should not be ignored.c) Prevalence varies across the alliances. Diagnosed and actuald) Outcomes associated with diabetes are expressed principally as cardiovascular end points. It is possible to estimate the scal
e of the link.e) Primary Care services achieve improving outcomes, but there is variation across practices and alliances. Variations in except
ion reporting has been suggested as a quick winPrimary care improvement – what are the options
f) The quality and reach of self care for diagnosed diabetic patients is untested in this HNA.g) GPSI satellite clinics – locations and capacity – correlations with % prevalence.h) Secondary Care servicesi) Data issues – what data do (and should) we record: socio-demographics and outcomes.

6) Key messages, recommendations and issues for
service design
Back to top
a) Do we under implement lifestyle interventions and prevention. There is scope for system and scale development.
b) Obesity as a future risk should not be ignored.
c) Prevalence varies across the alliances. Diagnosed and actual
d) Outcomes associated with diabetes are expressed principally as cardiovascular end points. It is possible to estimate the scale of the link.
e) Primary Care services achieve improving outcomes, but there is variation across practices and alliances. Variations in exception reporting has been suggested as a quick win
f) The quality and reach of self care for diagnosed diabetic patients is untested and un-researched in this HNA.
g) GPSI satellite clinics – locations and capacity – correlations with % prevalence.
h) Secondary Care services
i) Data issues – what data do (and should) we record: socio-demographics and outcomes.
a) Do we under implement lifestyle interventions and prevention. There is scope for system and scale
development.• Lifestyle interventions. American and Finnish studies have reported excellent
results.– 58% preventable / Significant delay in onset / Delay in development of complications.
• Do we under implement these interventions?• What is the role we need to develop for a range of support services• What of ‘industrialisation’? Systematise and scale. Equality component to this!• Development of Cardiovascular Risk Screening, as per recent DH announcement will
assist greatly with this process – especially system and scale.– Issues re equality and the capacity in services to ‘treat’ those identified as high risk
remain unresolved issues.• The notion of a ‘health gain schedule’, as part of a contract with all providers. Setting out
a minimum suite of lifestyle interventions to be systematically applied. • Careful commissioning needed. This crosses over into many other disease areas. Some
considerations:– Appropriate, intense and repeated social marketing. Continually reinforce healthy
living messages – appropriate to a range of target audiences– Weight management, smoking cessation, Exercise, Health trainers– Community development – in some parts of the district…….use the expertise, on the
ground knowledge and contacts to access groups that might not otherwise come to health care services.
– Smoking cessation – macro vascular risk - how much / how intense efforts to goes in to help diabetic smokers to stop
Back to top
b) Obesity as a future risk should not be ignored.
• Under-ascertainment of obesity in primary care. – Understandable given the weight given in
QOf?– If not picked up, possibly not well managed. – Even minor weight loss can confer significant
health benefits.– Capacity in weight management pathway.
Pharmacological and non pharmacological interventions – particularly the latter.
Back to top
c) Prevalence varies across the alliances. Diagnosed and actual
• Incidence – certain population groups more likely to develop diabetes. – Ethnicity risk, over an above deprivation. – People living in socio economically deprived areas (most likely lifestyle
risk). – Older people.
• 21,000 diagnosed diabetics, 3.9% (3.7 – 4.8%)• True population prevalence is greater – estimated in 2006 to be 5.4%
– Bradford estimates commonly seen as significantly under estimates – ethnicity as a genetic risk / ethnic profile of the district is not the same as England
– Strong correlation with deprivation– 60% female, 40% male (approaching 50:50 in city)– Much higher prevalence as age increases
• Some evidence that some pop groups less likely to access services once diagnosed – or poorer control if they do access.– Not all about deprivation – some practices in the most deprived areas
achieve highly.
Back to top
d) Outcomes associated with diabetes are expressed principally as cardiovascular end points. It
is possible to estimate the scale of the link.
• Relatively few deaths directly attributable to diabetes.
• Approx 9% of CV deaths, 3% all cause mortality and 5% of first time MI admits attributable to diabetes.
Back to top
e) Primary Care services achieve improving outcomes, but there is variation across practices and alliances.
Variations in exception reporting has been suggested as a quick win
Macro vascular• BP recording good and improving
– 22% of non exempted DM patients do not meet BP control target. 60% in the worst performing practice, 5% in the best.
• Chol recording good and improving.– 20% of non exempted DM patients do not meet Chol targets. 45% in worst, 3% in
best.– For chol – deprivation profile of registered patients is a significant factor, as is
age profile. (Less of an issue for BP control.)
Microvascular• 35% of non exempted patients don’t meet HBA1C targets. 70% in worst performing
practice, 3% in best.
• EXPLORING DIFFERENCES IN EXCEPTION REPORTING is a key area for consideration. The figures above don’t take into account the variability in exemptions.
• The QOF data gives suggestions as to which practices to target service improvement and support activities
Back to top
Primary Care Improvement – what are the options
Some options:• The QOF data suggest where improvements are needed.• Not all about deprivation – some practices in deprived areas
achieve.• ‘buddying’ and partnering – high and low performing practices.
Clinical and organisational.• Robust performance management, and use of powers in contract to
introduce competition where appropriate to do so.• Role of GPSI in supporting clinical and organisational aspects of
care• Role of CD workers – explore fully. In the broader context of CVD• GPSI buddying supporting poorly performing practices• Access strategies / user interface – informed by social marketing
and strong community development – getting a REAL understanding of the target market and preferred communication styles.
Back to top
f) The quality and reach of self care for diagnosed diabetic patients is untested in this HNA.
• No data here on self care.• Most people see their Dr only 1 or 2 per year – thus for 363 days,
self care• NICE (and NSF) – recommend structured group education –
provided locally– HCC review DM services nationally (2006) – 11% of DM patients had
received self care support / advice of any type (regardless of whether meets NICE standard)……socio economic / ethnic divide presumably sharp…….(though not tested)
– Funding for self care made available from DH – but in the baseline – thus local prioritisation
• How good are our self care programmes?– Under implemented (esp in areas / pop with most need?)– Culturally and ethnically sensitive– Language / reading age / AV material etc etc……..health trainers etc….
Back to top
g) GPSI satellite clinics – locations and capacity – correlations with % prevalence.
• Prevalence should tell us something about location.
• Capacity in CityCare equals need, especially given the complexity of the population.
• Equality across the whole district, and geographic accessibility to pockets of high prevalence outside CityCare needs to be tested and assessed.
• Language support may need to be addressed, written and translation
Back to top
h) Secondary Care services
Admits• 2400 over a 7 year period –
admits directly related to DM and micro vascular complications.
• Length of stay is shortening over time.
• Men seem more likely to be admitted (despite lower prevalence)
• Static trend in admissions• Average spend on admitted
patients per diagnosed diabetic patient varies from £36 (Citycare) to £50 (S&W).
OPD• 30,000 OPD appointments
over 4 year. • Bradford FT ONLY. No
Airedale OPD data
• Chiefly chiropody (67%), opth (19%), dietician (7%).
• First Attendance to Follow up – 1:10, relatively static. – S&W, YCPA higher rate than
City Care
Back to top
i) Data issues – what data do (and should) we record: socio-demographics and outcomes.
• This review considered routinely available data.• Is there a need for more detailed review, plus
addition of additional audits of specific areas of care? This might include:– Within primary care, satellite clinics, secondary
care…….• Agree a clear and common set of clinical quality,
organisational performance and public health data for ongoing analysis. A core data set.
• Analyst capacity within Performance and Information Directorate to undertake needs consideration if this is taken forward.
Back to top
7) Next Steps
Next Steps
• This Health Needs Assessment might inform development of future services
• It is only one of the considerations• Patient experience, user involvement not sought
during this HNA. It should be.• Some options for change already on the table.
– Prioritisation of these and other developments– A range of perspectives to be considered in this
(clinical, patient, corporate). And a mechanism for doing so. PBMA approach is recommended.
