    Total quantity or scope:

    NHS Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale Clinical Commissioning Group (NHS HMR CCG) is inviting providers to deliver an innovative, safe, cost-effective Integrated Collaborative for Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) service. Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) are multidisciplinary teams of health and social care professionals who will be aligned to GP practices across the borough. The INTs will serve the population aged 18 and over registered with a Heywood Middleton & Rochdale GP practice. One of the key elements of INTs is to streamline the approach to case managing care for patients with multiple long term conditions. They will have a core team consisting of a GP practice representative, Community Matron, and a District Nurse who will seek input from a range of other specialist health and social care services as and when required. By ensuring that all partners from community, primary, hospital and social care are involved there will be a more integrated approach to care for each patient. This new approach will reduce the number of patients needing hospital care. INTs will also be responsible for helping patients to take some responsibility for self-care – i.e. managing their condition and knowing when to contact their lead healthcare professional when their condition worsens.Establishing INTs wrapped around GP practices will also ensure that there is the opportunity to seek input from a range of health and social care specialists in the borough so that any specific care required can be provided early to reduce the need for admission to hospital. The INTs will also be able to work with patients so that they can share in decisions about their care. Within the team it should be a given that professionals can cross refer to another member of INT. The INTs must be delivered by a provider collaborative. NHS HMR CCG would like to offer the opportunity to deliver services to both large scale organisations and also to smaller, more niche organisations through the commissioning of collaboratives of providers. The patients that this service will serve require a careful holistic assessment based on a bio-psycho-socio care model (where patients and carers are involved in the decision making). Many people will have social, psychological, economic and environmental factors that cause additional complexities to their needs. Where possible, service delivery should be flexible and re-designed to support people with multiple morbidities. This type of care delivery requires a fully integrated response across health and social care linking to housing, employment, benefits and voluntary sectors as and when appropriate. Commissioners are keen to look for innovative models of care delivery and providers that are willing to change models to improve care as needed. The scope of this service must deliver care that patients will be able to access community health services will be a 7 days per week service. The core focus of the INT will deliver planned care, and will develop robust links with rapid access Urgent Care Community Team (UCCT) and other services to ensure timely interventions to step up care to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions such as Mental Health community teams. The key Objectives are: • Reduce emergency admissions, re-admissions and A&E attendances to hospital by at least 25% over 5 years as an integral component of the wider system reforms • Reduce admissions into long term care homes • Increase the use of step up facilities in the intermediate care tier • Supporting the frail elderly and orthopaedic discharges from secondary care ensuring that discharge if timely and co-ordinated with the appropriate rehabilitation plans in place Reduction in number of inappropriate resuscitations and admissions into hospital in the last hours or days of life • Reduction in the number of palliative care patients requiring secondary care intervention • Reduction in the number of people dying in hospital and an increase in the number of patients dying in their preferred place of choice • To reduce delayed discharges from hospital • Reduce social isolation and link with the 3rd Sector and other key partners to improve social inclusion for those identified as isolated. The contract will be for a duration of 60 Months with an option to extend for a further 24 months. The expected service commencement date is June 2015.
