11. We have over 12,000 using lifelines, 3346 have had access to telecare and each team has a monthly target to increase usage. We set ourselves a 10% increase at the beginning of the year. We are achieving on average a 14% increase !

12. Outcomes and achievements Between April 09 – Now –some 5000 multi-agency attendees at awareness, PR and installation training sessions. –The approach is assisting staff to manage risks when providing customised services. –People speak of how the service has helped them to carry on living at home give more confidence/peace of mind, feel safer. It is embedded as part of our reablement programme. –All staff in social care have received awareness training, with new staff targeted soon after arrival. It is embedded as part of our reablement programme. –The County has created a training pack and guidelines for fitting equipment and developed Long Term Conditions pathways for a range of conditions with PCT. –LD providers now beginning to embed personalised technology as part of support. –Short stay residents to EPH’s offered Telecare to use in EPH and take home. –Telecare tested and piloted in home for people with dementia and demonstrated improved outcomes for residents and staff. ( St Celia’s)

13. The Finance Case We have an ongoing process of evaluation: –Care managers identify what people’s traditional care package would have been if Telecare had not available, and what the actual Telecare enhanced packages of care were. –46% traditional packages would have been residential, EMI or nursing. –54% traditional packages would have been care at home. –If existing homecare is >10 hrs, the trends indicated homecare reduced, but still an element of care. –If the traditional package was <7 hours, the trend was home care hrs reduced or not have to be provided at all. –Analysis indicated a net average efficiency/person on annual basis at £3,654 –– a 38% reduction in care package costs. The DH and CSED have now taken NYCC model and expanded it as a national evaluation tool. See the SCED website.

14. Case Studies Numerous! Tell the story..we have numerous case studies … they capture minds and hearts. How people are in control Personalisation. This is both a finance story and more importantly one of people being more in control of their own lives.
