Baseline assessment of Activity, Workforce, Quality, Safety and Patient experience across Maternity and Neonatal Services Objectives and Actions Plans set for three work streams of the Review – Clinical, Contracting and Patient Options and Recommendations based on Findings from the Review process Publish report - Autumn Deliver agreed actions 6 Review Process

7. Four broad themes 7 The type and location of neonatal cots we have do not meet the demand we have for the service. That arrangements for transferring and discharging patients are inconsistent. That the interface between maternity and neonatal care can be improved. That emotional and practical support for parents is highly variable.

18. 18 Mortality Rates and SIs

19. Criteria for discharge from the neonatal unit to Postnatal Ward / Transitional Care Criteria for discharge home Transition into Primary and Community Care Follow Up Variation in Transfer and Discharge

20. Funding – variable and split between CCGs and NHS England Location – NNU, TC area in NNU, Postnatal Ward (Maternity) Interventions Staffing Model No Service Specification Much of SCBU activity can be delivered in TC Variation in Transitional Care

21. 21 Variation in Community Outreach

22. There are higher numbers of ex utero and in utero transfers between hospitals than necessary – this creates risk and poor experience. 22

23. Similar themes to Maternity Review Feedback from Stakeholder Day

24. Capacity: How do we arrange the service to ensure the right baby is in the right cot? Transfers and Discharges: How do we improve consistency around discharges and transfers? Links with Maternity Services: What actions do we need to take to improve collaboration between maternity and neonatal services to reduce demand on neonatal cots? Emotional and Practical Support: What are the top 3 priorities to improve emotional and practical support for patients and parents? 24

25. Networks: 25 Commissioning boundaries not aligned to networks. Inconsistent protocols, behaviours and priorities. Consensus from networks to merge. Need to retain operational capacity

26. Transport: 26 Time is being wasted in ringing around and clinical staff are giving time to feed in information System needs to include maternity bed availability Transport system prioritises NICU babies and may not have capacity for lower level transfers

27. Tariff and Pricing : 27 Maternity Tariff doesn’t always support complex care Inconsistent arrangements for TC and Outreach HRG 4+ impact could be material Patient choice challenging re right mother right place

28. Joint Working : 28 High volume of term admissions Inconsistent links between maternity and neonates re expected admissions Willingness from units to consider a shared workforce – could be an opportunity Little concept of shared capacity

29. Standardise Clinical Practice 29 Varying access and egress criteria Varying processes and protocols for transfers More explanation to mothers regarding pros and cons of C section Assess Term admissions and C section rates (Every Baby Counts national scheme) to establish any link

30. Next Steps: 30 12 th July 2016: Commissioner Meeting 29 th July: Engagement on this phase closes Autumn: Report published Co-Commissioning Intentions 2016 17

31. SCT Recommendations

32. We will create a single Maternity and Neonatal network board to oversee 2 operational teams (down from 3) to deliver a work programme jointly agreed by NHSE and CCGs. 32

33. We will move cots around the system with the ambition to level out occupancy to under 85% 33

34. We will undertake a joint mortality review (alongside CCGs), factoring in the level of care a unit is designated for. 34

35. We will work jointly with CCGs to consistently commission Transitional Care and Outreach to reduce demand on NHSE and CCG commissioned services. 35

36. We will encourage networks and transport teams to develop real or near-time information sharing around cot and maternity bed availability. 36

37. We will establish a clinical workstream to develop aspirational protocols for the following: 1. Transfers and repatriation 2. Discharge criteria 3. Transitional Care 4. Outreach Services 5. Others as identified by CQUINs etc 6. Standardised communications 37

38. We will work with HEE to ensure that we have a joined up approach to planning workforce as new models of care develop 38

39. We will, alongside CCGs, agree 5 high impact changes to improve the interface between maternity and neonatal services 39

40. Consider, with STPs/CCGs and providers, identifying a pilot footprint to trial an ACO approach to neonatal and maternity services. 40

41. Q: What is the scope of opportunity and vehicle for progressing collaborative commissioning for maternity and neonatal services? 41
