Outcomes of the Older People’s Pilot and Benefits of Analysis Maggie Kufeldt Older People’s Joint Commissioning Lead

Introducing the Pilot  First stage of JSNA gave us the Older People’s digest  The digest had demographics, service information and some basic future modelling  This was recognised to be a first step  The pilot was developed to test how a more in depth analysis could help support commissioners by developing an advanced digest

Aims of the Advanced Digest Process  The aim of the advanced digest was to develop a more comprehensive report than the initial digest that could be used to segment service users by their current and future needs.  We also wanted the pilot to test the complex process of developing an advanced digest by combining different types of information, including financial information and projections  The pilot template will be used to develop advanced digests for the remaining digest topics.

Older People’s Joint Commissioning  Work has been ongoing in this area for a number of years and joint analysis has taken place previously  In order to build on this work the post of Older People’s Joint Commissioning Lead was established to develop a strategy and commission services that reflect the changing needs and aspirations of the older population in Stockport  The Commissioning Lead is supported by a Joint Commissioning Group

The Process  The process involved bringing analysts and commissioners together via the OP Joint Commissioning Group  The process enabled the pilot group to drill down into the complexity of the data to see what was driving patterns and trends  Conversations enabled hypothesis to be developed, which we could then test by data analysis and reality checks with managers and practitioners

Key Findings  Rapid Older People’s population growth especially in over 85’s  Prevalence of dementia and the GP registered population  Rise in emergency admissions, especially those resulting in a short length of stay  Fewer Older People in Stockport die at home

Key Findings  Men are more likely to be admitted to hospital but less likely to take up a social care service  Higher proportion of older female carers and men are more likely to have a carer  Identified a key need to support the with the voice of Older People through All Our Tomorrow’s, LINks and Anticipating Future Needs

The Impact of the Findings  Development of the Older People’s work plan to address the JSNA findings  A number of workstreams developed to review local service provision arrangements in light of the findings e.g. Older People’s Mental Health and a Day Services review

Where next?  Further areas for analysis e.g. stroke  Implement any changes identified as a result of the process  Retest the data at a later stage to understand the impacts  The production of a new Older People’s Joint Commissioning Strategy  The process is iterative – it will go on

The Value of JSNA  It told us some new things  It confirmed some things we already knew  It enabled us to bring together local findings with national policy and guidance  Identification of local priorities  Joint ownership of the data and better quality data  Better outcomes for the population of the future
