NHS West Kent PCT Health investment slide pack July 2010 QIPP Right Care

22 About this health investment pack Purpose / Objectives – to highlight the scale of variation in healthcare at PCT and GP Practice level and demonstrate how Programme Budgeting tools can help the search for unwarranted variation and support the health investment process The analysis presented provides a high level narrative in terms of expenditure, expenditure drivers, and the resulting outcomes for one disease area per PCT By triangulating data from a variety of sources, the analysis draws on a wide evidence base to provide consistent messages and therefore minimises opportunities to highlight data quality issues This pack cannot draw comprehensive conclusions but provides a summary of readily available and free to use national level information sets for local organisations to raise questions and investigate further PCTs who want to explore these variations in more detail should take this forward through their DPH and Public Health Observatories and Quality Observatories As the NHS moves towards commissioning by GP Consortia it is imperative that PCTs establish a clear framework and evidence base for making and evaluating health investment decisions

QIPP Right Care 33 Overview These slides use Programme Budgeting tools to show that, compared to similar PCTs, West Kent has; Average expenditure on Respiratory problems High rate of mortality from COPD Below average prescription expenditure on Respiratory problems High reported prevalence of COPD and a high ratio of reported to expected prevalence of COPD Below above average flu vaccinations for patients with COPD Spend of £500,000 more than the national average for inpatient admissions for Respiratory problems adjusting for age, sex and need of population

QIPP Right Care 4 What is Programme Budgeting? Programme Budgeting: -Outlines how PCTs cut their cake in terms of 23 ICD 10 defined programme budgeting categories; hence is a -a retrospective appraisal of resource allocation broken down into ‘programmes’ - with a view to influencing and tracking future expenditure in those same programmes. -Allows for cross sectional and time series comparisons, at England, SHA, PCT and increasingly, practice Level. Marginal Analysis -An appraisal of the added costs and added benefits when the resources in programmes are increased, or deployed in new ways. -Programme Budgeting and Marginal Analysis provides a framework to help commissioners make, track and evaluate health investment decisions.

QIPP Right Care 11 APHO Spend and Outcomes tool (SPOT) The Spend and Outcomes tool has been developed by the Association of Public Health Observatories. The tool allows PCTs to compare their expenditure and outcome data for each of the 23 Programme Budget disease categories on a single page. The tool is interactive and allows PCTs to select different outcome measures and different views of the data – including a comparison with any other selected PCT. A very useful tool that quickly allows PCTs to identify areas of expenditure that warrant further investigation.

QIPP Right Care /2009 APHO Spend and Outcomes Tool – Each diamond represents a disease category and shows spend and outcomes compared to the national average West Kent PCT has average spend and better outcome for Respiratory compared to PCTs nationally Mortality from bronchitis, emphysema, COPD

QIPP Right Care /2009 APHO ONS Cluster Average – Each diamond represents a disease category and shows spend and outcomes compared to the cluster average West Kent PCT has average spend and worse outcome for Respiratory compared to similar PCTs Mortality from bronchitis, emphysema, COPD

QIPP Right Care 14 Programme Budgeting Atlases The Programme Budgeting Atlases are provided on our behalf by the National Centre for Health Outcomes Development, under contract to the Information Centre for Health and Social as part of the Compendium of Public Health Indicators. The Atlas links programme budgeting expenditure data, as presented in the programme budgeting spreadsheet with an array of outcome data. By using mapping software, bar charts and correlation plots, the Atlases provides an illuminating and user-friendly way of analysing and presenting data. Atlases available via an NHS Net connection from: nww.nchod.nhs.uk

QIPP Right Care 26 NHS Comparators – Breakdown of Actual and Expected Expenditure on admissions by Programme Budget or Disease Category for Barking & Dagenham PCT – Also available for FHS Prescribing Expenditure This table is available at SHA, PCT, and Practice level, on a quarterly or annual basis. The table shows for inpatient admissions in each disease area, actual spend, expected based on national averages, and expenditure differences in absolute and % terms. Because expenditure is calculated as activity multiplied by tariff, the table is less useful where tariff is less well developed – e.g. Mental Health.

QIPP Right Care 27 Inpatient Variation Expenditure Tool (IVET) The tool provides PCTs with: inpatient expenditure data (2008/9) on different diseases and interventions; Inpatient expenditure per 1000 population, standardising for age, sex and need; The change in inpatient expenditure and activity required to meet a user- defined benchmark for each disease and intervention; Comparative data to other PCTs – allowing variation between PCTs to be seen. A novel feature of this tool is that the standardisation accounts for age, sex and needs - with needs (e.g. deprivation) built up to PCT level from the Person Based Resource Allocation at practice level
