More Than Medicine How health and care needs to adapt to meet the needs of our communities Chris Easton, Head of Strategy, Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care FT
The challenges facing the health and care system By 2020/21, if we do nothing there will be a 22bn gap between the cost of the health system and the budget available to pay for it; People are living longer, acquiring more long term conditions and requiring more significant levels of care; The NHS is a victim of its own success with more advanced treatments and technology coming at greater cost; People s expectations of the health and care system continue to increase; The health and care system is large and complex;
Thinking differently about what really impacts on health
The changing face of commissioning
Recognising our strengths and our limitations
Thinking differently about change Savings in the system can only really be delivered in four ways: People with ongoing care and support needs managing conditions better People living healthier lives and therefore using less resource Creating efficiencies in delivery and commissioning People choosing to transact differently
The future of health and care Person Centred Coordinated Care and Support
So what can we do to change? Move away from medical model health and care with patients as passive recipients; Recognise the limitations and expertise of the system; Critically, recognise the assets that exist within people, their families and their communities; Build new partnerships and new models of working, especially with organisations outside of health and care; View health and care through the lens of people s lives, not through the lens of the system; Remove some of the barriers that make person centred approaches difficult; New approaches to commissioning, focusing on prevention, wider determinants of health and investment in the voluntary and community sector; Think about success differently both at an individual and system wide level;
