What is a “Deep Dive” pack? 1 CCGs have received a bespoke Commissioning for Value insights pack. These packs, sometimes referred to a Level 1 packs, analyse data on spend and outcomes at a Programme Budget level across a wide range of programmes. Those packs identified candidate programmes which offered the most value in return for improvement work – they answered the question of - where to look. Having selected one or more programmes to analyse in more detail – a Deep Dive pack would examine pathways in more detail to identify opportunities for improvements - What to change. The structure and content of Deep Dive packs has evolved through work done by Right Care and Yorkshire and Humber PHO (now PHE Knowledge and Intelligence Team) working CCGs in Derbyshire and Yorkshire and Humber. This anonymised example is taken from the work done by YHPHO. The structure of a pack is not fixed and immutable but it is based on a tried and tested successful approach. This exemplar will give you a tangible feel for what a Deep Dive pack would look like for your locality and your priority programmes. 1

Aim of the packs In September 2012, YHPHO produced Commissioning for Value Intelligence Packs for every CCG in Yorkshire and Humber. These packs identified programme areas which offered potential opportunities for improving outcome, quality and efficiency at local level. The packs included an offer to work with CCGs to develop this Focus Pack or ‘deep dive’ looking at an agreed programme area to understand variation across the pathway including GP practice benchmarking, working with local BI teams to identify opportunities for improvement together with the best evidence on what works. This work forms part of the health intelligence to support commissioning workstream which has been funded since 2009/10 by PCT Chief Executives in Y&H. In 2013/14 YHPHO’s specialist intelligence services will be part of the CSU business intelligence offer. Further support is available to use and explore the intelligence in this pack – contact or Background 4

How these packs support service improvement 5 Background

Methodology used to produce this pack Analysed wide range of indicators from across the pathway focussing on spend and quality Analysed wide range of national benchmarked data to identify indicators where CCG is below the average for its cluster group Identified indicators where CCG is in worst quintile within its cluster Analysed practice based variation to identify practices which consistently compare poorly against their national clusters Identified key opportunities for value improvement and quantified potential impact Listed all the indicators where CGG is below average for cluster (see Annex) Quantified opportunity for indicators in bottom quintile from moving to average of top 40% for cluster Quantified additional financial opportunities for other indicators from moving to average of top 40% for cluster Quantification does not mean that the ‘saving’ or improvement can actually be made, but may however answer the question ‘Is it going to be worth focussing on this area?’ Reviewed national evidence base to identify potential interventions linked to opportunities Pulled together examples of ‘what works’ against ‘opportunity’ areas across the pathway Identified ‘high performing’ CCGs from cluster to support potential service/pathway review Methodology 6

Summary: Prevention and Prevalence 7 Summary Prevention 4/5 indicators are below the average of the top 40% benchmark group If the CCG reached the average of the top 40% in its benchmark group, 1,978 fewer people with a long term condition would smoke The CCG is in the highest quintile for binge drinking. This is based on a PCT modelled estimate from the Health Survey for England. If the estimate is correct then 20,161 fewer people would binge drink if the CCG reduced its rate to the benchmark average for the top 40%. The CCG may want to triangulate this with other indicators, for example alcohol related admissions Prevalence 9/10 indicators are above the average of the 40% benchmark group For CHD, stroke and hypertension the observed prevalence can be compared with that expected given the characteristics of XXX CCG’s population. For CHD the expected to observed ratio exceeds that of the 40% benchmark group. For stroke a further 83 cases and for hypertension a further 3,492 would need to be observed to achieve the expected to observed ratio of the 40% benchmark group.

Summary: Management in primary care 18/22 indicators are below the average of the top 40% benchmark group QOF indicators have been used but excepted patients have not been included in the denominator There are no indicators in the bottom quintile compared to the benchmark group There are three primary care management indicators where over 150 patients would benefit if the CCG moved to the average of the top 40% benchmark group – % CHD patients treated with a beta-blocker (182 more people) – % CHD patients who have had a flu immunisation (202 more people) – % hypertension patients with a record of BP <=150/90 (371 more people) £1.2 million reduced prescribing spend in primary care if CCG reduced to average of the 40% benchmark group 8 Summary

Summary: Management in secondary care and end of life care Management in secondary care 60/66 indicators are below the average in the top 40% benchmark group CVD, and within that classification, CHD and heart failure emergency admissions are all high (bottom quintile) compared to the benchmark group Although the rate of elective CHD admissions is relatively low, the cost of admission is relatively high (£270k more than average of top 40% benchmark group). LOS for CHD elective (280 bed days higher), stroke (over 3000 bed days higher) and angiography (over 1000 bed days higher) are all relatively high when compared to the average of the top 40% benchmark. End of life care An additional 78 people would die at home if the CCG rate matched that of the top 40% benchmark group 9 Summary

Where to focus: Understanding practice variation Practices have been compared against other practices within their practice cluster for all the indicators where data is available at practice level This information is presented here to form the basis of a discussion between the PHO, Business Intelligence in the CSU and the CCG about how further analysis could support practices in reducing unexplained practice variation The number of indicators where the practice is in the bottom quintile for the practice cluster has been compared on the next slide and the opportunities for the practices with the highest number of indicators in the bottom quintile has been quantified on the subsequent slide Practices will have less influence on management in secondary care than they do on management in primary care and this should be taken into account in the way CCGs interpret the information on practice variation 12 Analysis

Where to focus: Understanding practice variation 13 Analysis Number of CVD indicators in the bottom quintile of the practice cluster Note, some of the data are based on small numbers. Statistical significance has not been tested and should not be inferred. The data are presented to identify potential areas of improvements rather than providing a definitive comparison of performance.

Some of the secondary care opportunities calculated for this practice are greater than the number of original admissions due to small numbers and comparison to the national average.

Bringing it all together – Where to focus, what could work, who should we speak to Where to focusWhat could workWho should we speak to? * 15 Next step is to move from intelligence to action CCG needs to identify from the summary slides where to focus and what could work and which CCG may be an exemplar to follow This table illustrates this approach Annex 4 sets out more examples of ‘what works’ evidence included in the NHS Atlases of Variation Analysis

Other local intelligence to add in……… CCGs should consider what local intelligence is available to further triangulate with the intelligence in this pack. This may include: Practice variation analyses Up to date intelligence from secondary care Analysis from Acute Trust quality dashboard or other provider data Contract monitoring data Local prescribing data 16 Analysis
