IDCR Applications

• Strong focus on integration projects, with a high proportion proposing a portal approach. Many of these had aspirations to open the portal to patients as well as fellow professionals.

• Approximately a third of the applications included integration between health and social care organisations. Around 15% had health-social care integration as their primary focus.

• The most frequently planned integrations are between primary and acute care settings, followed by social care and community health organisations. A number were also beginning to consider the possibilities of integrating with emergency services and independent sector providers.

IDCRs IDCRs

Underpinning IDCRs, is the need for information to be shared – interoperability.

Interoperability programme established across DH, HSCIC, NHS England- co-ordinate national activity on interoperability and away from siloes- provide “handbook” on key policies, standards and guidance e.g. to commissioners- be clear on priorities and strategic direction

Commissioners Toolkit

• IDCR needs to be a core component of every health economy’s plans

• CCGs are key to ensuring this, however, they may not always have the expertise or bandwidth to do so.

• The toolkit will help commissioners ensure that they have a digital strategy in support of the integrated services they commission.

• e.g. “What does interoperability mean for you as commissioners, why is it important, what do I need to consider?”

www.england.nhs.uk

• Development of market model nurturing and incentivising innovation within the health sector.

• Facilitate Trusts access to this engaged vibrant marketplace to enable procurement.

• Broker relationships between buyers and suppliers and improve understanding on both sides.

Commercial Toolkit

www.england.nhs.uk

• A set of indicators to evidence achievement of DCRs and IDCRs.

• First indicator (CDMI) launched in November 2013.

• Roadmap to deepen (effective use, penetration and interoperability) and extend scope including Community, Mental, Social and Primary care settings.

• Ambition to demonstrate/evidence how technology maturity enables benefits and improved outcomes.

Call to Action

www.england.nhs.uk

For discussion today

Theme for Question 1: Testing Market CapabilityOnce you identify a need for a solution, how do you research what the market has to offer? • Discuss if there anything that could be done or tools that could

improve this process?

Theme for Question 2: Interoperability supporting IDCRsWhat are the key policies, standards and guidance you need to help you? Building on existing – open API policy, ITK standards, identity management guidance.

• What do you see as the priority next wave of interoperability standards? end of life, crisis management, pharmacy to GP….

• What are the key policies, standards and guidance that you would like to see to help you?
