Simon Stevens" delivery plan for the NHS explained

The chief of NHS England, Simon Stevens, has pledged to make an array of changes to benefit patients in his proposals for the future of the health service.

In the delivery plan for his Five-Year Forward View, he sets out the way in which providers of NHS care must overhaul their working practices, despite the unprecedented pressures they are facing and the service having less money than he believes it needs to do its job properly.

The changes include:

• Creating an England-wide network of about 150 urgent treatment centres to take the strain of overcrowded A&E units, which NHS chiefs say 3 million people a year visit unnecessarily with injuries and minor ailments. The centres will be open for 12 hours every day of the week and be staffed by GPs, other doctors or experienced nurses. “They offer patients who do not need hospital A&E care treatment by clinicians with access to diagnostic facilities that will usually include an X-ray machine,” the delivery plan says.
  


• Every A&E must put “comprehensive front-door clinical streaming” in place by October, under which nurses or doctors assess how unwell patients are and direct them to the most appropriate service. New GP services at emergency departments will be one option, paid for by £100m announced in the recent budget. This aims to give A&Es more time to look after the sickest patients, who will often be frail and elderly.
  


• GPs will have to offer evening and weekend appointments across the whole of England by March 2019, despite family doctors’ concern that there is too little demand from patients, especially on Sunday afternoons, and too few of them. NHS England are also pledging to put 3,250 extra GPs, plus 1,300 clinical pharmacists and 1,500 more mental health therapists, into GP surgeries by 2019, though sceptics have questioned where the new doctors will come from.
  


• An overhaul of the NHS 111 telephone advice service aims to increase the proportion of calls that are answered by doctors, nurses and mental health specialists from 22% to 30% by March 2018. A new NHS 111 online service later this year will let patients enter symptoms and receive “tailored advice on management” of their illness.
  


• Hospitals and local councils will work together to cut the number of patients stuck in hospital, despite being medically fit to be discharged, because of inadequate local social care. The aim is to free up 2,000-3,000 hospital beds so that hospitals can admit patients classed as a medical emergency quicker than is currently the case.
  


• Early diagnosis of cancer should be improved through the creation of 10 regional rapid diagnostic and assessment centres. They aim to ensure that by 2020 every cancer patient is diagnosed within 28 days and, it is hoped, ensure that an extra 5,000 people survive their cancer over the next two years. A £130m expansion of precision radiotherapy will see 42 hospitals acquire or upgrade their equipment to achieve this.
  


• Improvements to mental healthcare aim to provide “talking therapies” to 200,000 more people by March 2019, improved services for children and young people, including 150-180 extra inpatient beds to avoid under-18s having to travel far from home to get care, and the creation of four new mother and baby units to help women suffering postnatal psychological or psychiatric problems. The number of A&E units with mental health specialists on duty 24/7 should rise fivefold to 74 by 2019, and there will also be new dedicated mental health services for traumatised military veterans.
  


• Millions of people in up to nine areas of England should receive better, more joined-up care when hospitals, GP surgeries, mental health and ambulance services and social care providers in each region link up to become the first wave of new “accountable care organisations”, which provide fully integrated care for all of a patient’s needs. The frontrunners to get approval to pioneer that approach are Frimley Health in Surrey; Greater Manchester; South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw; Northumberland; Nottinghamshire; Blackpool and Fylde Coast; Dorset; Luton, Milton Keynes and Bedfordshire; and West Berkshire.

UK"s appetite for gourmet takeaway fuels restaurant delivery boom

“You don’t need a silver fork to eat good food,” the late celebrity chef Paul Prudhomme once said. But these days, you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your living room, as more and more restaurants offer take-out options to cash in on the growing market for fine dining at home.

The demand for home deliveries of ready-to-eat food grew 10 times faster than for dining out last year, according to figures released on Thursday, and food delivery apps specialising in restaurant-quality meals have seen a huge jump in popularity.

According to analysts NPD Group, the delivery sector rose almost 10% to 599m visits in the UK last year, while total visits to restaurants and other dining venues rose by just 1%. The delivery channel was worth £3.6bn last year, a 6% increase on 2015 and 50% more than in 2008.

NPD noted that even pubs were part of the home-delivery revolution by partnering with brands such as Deliveroo, Just Eat, Hungry House and UberEats. While British pubs only accounted for 4% of the delivery market, they increased their delivery visits by 59% over the previous year.

Deliveroo, which was founded by William Shu and Greg Orlowski in 2013 and now operates in 120 cities in 12 countries, said its orders grew by 650% in 2016. This included 20% more lunch orders, 20% more deliveries on a Monday, 10% more deliveries on Monday to Wednesday, and a 34% increase in people ordering healthy dishes, suggesting restaurant-style deliveries were seen less and less as an indulgent weekend treat.

The company is partnering with new restaurants every week and employs more than 1,000 people. Popular chains that have joined Deliveroo in the last 12 months include Five Guys, Cafe Rouge, Franco Manca, Ottolenghi, Farmacy, Sticks’n’Sushi and Pizza Pilgrims.

The latter’s management say they joined Deliveroo to try new technology and make customers happier. “For some people pizza is the ultimate takeaway, while others see it as a casual dining out option, so working with Deliveroo just allowed us to please as many people as possible,” said Michael Dench, the chain’s operations director.

One restaurant group, London rotisserie Clockjack, opened a delivery-only kitchen last year to cater solely for Deliveroo orders.

The NPD study found the average bill for delivered food was just £1 lower than for a meal eaten on the premises. However, the difference was bigger for some operators such as local Indian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Italian or Mexican restaurants at £12 for a meal on the premises versus £6.90 for delivery.

Cyril Lavenant, NPD’s UK food service director, said: “Ordering ready-to-eat food for delivery via an app or by phone is growing so fast that eating in is becoming the new eating out. It goes beyond getting delivery of conventional takeaway food because full-service restaurants are offering delivery too.”

A spokesman for Deliveroo said it was not replacing the dine-in experience, rather complementing it by bringing a new breadth of choice to the delivery market. “We work with thousands of restaurants that traditionally did not offer food delivery, creating £200m in added revenue for the restaurant industry in 2016,” he said.

But it’s not all good news. Cancer Research UK has warned of the risks of weight gain and obesity linked to the consumption of fast food and ready meals, which tend to have a high calorie content and higher levels of fat and sugar.

Figures released on Friday by the charity show that at least 79m ready meals and 22m fast-food and takeaway meals are eaten weekly by adults in the UK. Young adults aged 18-24 are more likely to rely on convenience meals, and are seven times more likely to indulge in fast food and takeaways at least once a week compared with the over-65s.

Alison Cox, Cancer Research UK’s director of prevention, said the figures showed that “grab and go” foods and a growing appetite for takeaways and ready meals were helping to propel people towards an epidemic of larger waistlines.

“The whole food industry needs to step up and commit to working with government to cut the amount of fat and sugar in our food. This would make it that bit easier for all of us to become healthier and reduce our cancer risks,” she said.

Woman who gave birth in her car gets $7,400 bill for hospital delivery room

Paula D’Amore was never expecting to give birth in the backseat of her Jeep. A few hours after she felt a contraction on 7 April, she loaded into the car and her husband started driving to the hospital, only to feel a burning sensation as the car pulled into its driveway.

“Never in a million years wouldI havethought this would happen,” D’Amore said.

Her husband ran into the hospital to tell the staff his wife was in labor. As he came back and opened the door, the baby began crowning and he was forced to deliver the head. Moments later, a few nurses joined at the car and a midwife helped complete the delivery of her newborn daughter, Danielle.

Only after giving birth in her car was she taken to a recovery room because all the labor rooms at the Boca Raton regional hospital were full.

Given that she gave birth in her car, D’Amore was shocked to receive a hospital bill that charged her more than $ 7,400 for a delivery room. She is also disputing an additional $ 4,000 bill for a time her daughter spent in the neonatal intensive care unit.

“I laughed,” she said when she got the bill. “You gotta be kidding right? How do you charge for something that you didn’t do?”

D’Amore and her husband switched to a $ 5,000 high deductible insurance package that she had saved up for in preparation for the pregnancy, so her expenses will be capped at $ 5,000 and she has not disputed payment for other services, including the midwife. But she refuses to accept the hospital room charges given that she gave birth in the car.

“I cannot swallow seeing that they have the audacity to charge $ 7,000,” D’Amore said.

Labor and delivery are among the most expensive healthcare costs in the US. According to a 2013 study by Truven Health Analytics, the cost of childbirth in the US has tripled since 1996. Truven also found the average price of pregnancy and newborn care for a baby was approximately $ 30,000 for vaginal delivery, and $ 50,000 for a C-section. Delivery costs alone are an average of $ 10,000 and over more than $ 15,000 for a vaginal or C-section respectively, according to the International Federation of Health Plans (IFHP).

After working with counsel provided by her husband’s employer, she took her grievances to the hospital who said they found nothing wrong with the charges after two reviews.

“Boca Raton Regional Hospital has reviewed the matter, understands the concerns of this patient, and has previously attempted to resolve the outstanding balance concerns with the patient,” Thomas Chakurda, vice-president of marketing at Boca Raton regional hospital, said in a statement. “The hospital appropriately bills for the medical services and care it provides and has determined that the level of care provided and billing were appropriate in this instance. We take all of Mrs D’Amore’s concerns seriously and are willing to review them further.”

The gap between funds and delivery is a chasm in the NHS: something has to give | Chris Hopson

It is now time for our national health chiefs and political leaders to acknowledge publicly that the NHS can no longer deliver what is being asked of it for the funding available.

Despite the best efforts of hard-working staff, hospital accident and emergency performance is now the worst it has ever been. In the first three months of this year only four of the 138 large A&E departments saw the required 95% of patients within four hours. One in 10 patients had to wait more than four hours, the highest level at this time of year since 2003-04.

Waiting lists for operations, with 3.9 million patients, are now at their highest point since December 2007. The three million mark used to be considered a line not to cross, but experts have suggested that the waiting list target is irrecoverable. There are similar problems of dropping performance against cancer and ambulance standards, with mental health and community services under similar pressure.

At the same time, we ended the last financial year with trusts reporting the largest deficit in NHS history – £2.45bn but, in reality, above £3.5bn once you strip out one-off transfers and accounting adjustments.

These challenges are being matched by unprecedented staff shortages, including nurses, key specialists, GPs and emergency doctors. These have led to closures of A&E departments and other services, unsustainable pressure on GPs and, in 2015-16, an unaffordable extra £3.6bn agency staff bill.

Demand for NHS services also continues to rise much faster than predicted: between April and June, A&E attendances and emergency hospital admissions were up by more than 6% compared with last year – three times the predicted increase. If funding fails to keep up with this demand, the challenge for the NHS grows year on year.

These problems are now affecting the whole NHS. In the first three months, 94% of A&E departments missed the four-hour A&E standard. At the end of 2015-16, nearly two-thirds of trusts, and more than eight in 10 acute hospitals, were in deficit.

It’s no surprise that cutting social care year after year has created major problems. Given the lack of capacity in community and mental health services, the number of patients waiting for a hospital discharge is now the highest it’s ever been. As a result, hospitals are being asked to routinely run at capacity levels that risk patient safety and would be unthinkable in France, Italy or Germany.

Taken together this means the NHS is increasingly failing to do the job it wants to do, and the public needs it to do, through no fault of its own.

This concrete evidence is supported by the testimony of frontline NHS leaders. Thanks to the dedication of staff, NHS performance rarely goes off the edge of a cliff. As the 1990s showed, instead we get a long, slow decline that is only fully visible in retrospect. It’s therefore difficult to isolate a single point in that downward trajectory to sound a warning bell.

But NHS trust bosses are now ringing that bell – we face a stark choice of investing the resources required to keep up with demand or watching the NHS slowly deteriorate. Trusts will, of course, do all they can to deliver efficiency savings and productivity improvements. But they are now saying it is impossible to provide the right quality of service and meet performance targets on the funding available.

Something has to give. This is particularly so since NHS funding increases are about to drop from 3.8% this year to 1.4% next year and 0.3% in 2018-19. As total NHS demand and cost rises inexorably, by at least 4% a year, this will mean even larger gaps after seven years of the deepest and longest financial squeeze in NHS history.

So what does give? A range of options are now open to political and NHS leaders. Additional funding is the most obvious, with the new government’s first autumn statement on 23 November providing an immediate opportunity.

If, however, there are is to be no extra funding, the NHS must make some quick, clear choices on what gives, however unpalatable these choices may be. The logical areas to examine would be more draconian rationing of access to care; formally relaxing performance targets; shutting services; extending and increasing charges; cutting the number of priorities the NHS is trying to deliver; or more explicitly controlling the size of the NHS workforce. These are all approaches adopted by other public services such as prisons, local government and the police when faced with similar funding challenges over the past decade – though they would clearly provoke public unease and ministerial anxiety if applied to the NHS.

In reality, individual areas are already having to make decisions like these on a piecemeal basis. For example, in the last three months, clinical commissioning groups like St Helens and Vale of York have developed proposals to suspend all non-urgent care for four months or suspend non-urgent treatment for obese patients and smokers for a year. A number of trusts have had to close services on safety grounds and others have announced plans to reduce the size of their workforce. Unsurprisingly these decisions triggered local opposition and adverse national media coverage.

NHS trust leaders rightly argue that this piecemeal approach is unsustainable. It is not tenable to ask local leaders to deliver the impossible, make unpopular local decisions as quietly as possible and then carry the can when the decisions become public. As the junior doctors’ dispute shows, it is also untenable to ask NHS staff to close the gap by simply working harder and harder.

In the absence of extra funding, we need an open, honest, realistic, national debate on what gives, translating into immediate clear choices, with national leaders explaining why such choices are necessary. Any such debate must extend beyond the NHS and involve the public. The earlier that debate starts and the more open and honest it is, the better.

Acupuncture reduces health-related interventions utilized in labor and delivery!

About 95 percent of all births in the United States occur in hospitals, three % in birthing centers and one percent at residence.  Six % of all births are attended by midwives. (1)

A 2014 review identified that regular hospital costs for an uncomplicated vaginal delivery can variety anywhere from $ three,296 to $ 37,227.  Once you get started including interventions the value can assortment from $ eight,312 to $ 71,000.(two)

Licensed midwives have a Caesarean charge of eleven.6 percent in contrast with the nationwide common of 23.three %!

For people who wish a normal childbirth with as number of interventions as feasible, a midwife is a great option.  Certified nurse midwives have a Caesarean rate of eleven.six % in contrast with the national common of 23.three %.(one)

Physicians much more usually with utilize interventions this kind of as pitocin to strengthen and quicken labor.  This intervention was once utilized as a “last resort.”  Inducing labor heightens the discomfort and usually prospects to an epidural, which in some instances can delay the pushing and even trigger a Caesarean. (1)

Study identified that acupuncture reduces the common time a woman spends in labor!

A lot of mother and father are searching for alternatives that assist deal with the soreness of normal birth and lessen chance for intervention.  An older study from 1974 identified that acupuncture lowered the typical time a lady spends in labor. (three)

A 2001 study followed 45 ladies and observed the result of acupuncture on cervical ripening with hopes to reduce inductions.  The review concluded that acupuncture did help ripen the cervix and shortened the time among the due date and the delivery date, resulting in fewer inductions.(3)

Acupuncture assists ripen the cervix, shortening time among due date and delivery date and decreases use of medical inductions!

An additional review published in the Health-related Acupuncture Journal, followed fourteen midwives who recorded their acupuncture treatments with 169 females above a 4 month time period.  The midwife data incorporated how several weeks gestation women had been at the time of labour, whether they had obtained a health care induction, length of labor, type of pain relief utilized, and type of delivery they had.(3)

The examine located that there was a 35 % reduction of health care inductions in the ladies overall.  There was a 43 % reduction for first time mothers.  It was discovered that the charge of epidural use was decreased by 31 % in comparison to the nearby midwife practice.  Caesarean sections had been decreased by 32 % and typical vaginal births elevated by 9 %.  The review concluded that acupuncture prior to birth is really promising in terms of reducing intervention and strengthening normal birth outcomes. (three)

A 2009 review examined the impact of acupuncture for soreness management.  Researchers followed 607 healthy females in labor who acquired acupuncture, TENS or traditional analgesics.  The research reported that the use of pharmacological or invasive techniques was lower in the acupuncture group.  The review concluded that acupuncture reduced need to have for interventions and “is a good supplement to existing pain relief methods.” (four)

If you are organizing a normal childbirth and hunting for alternatives that will aid with pain management, labor, and delivery, consider talking to your doctor or midwife about using acupuncture.

NHS patients in uproar over "incompetent" drug delivery service

Healthcare at Residence delivers medication for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, cystic fibrosis, and HIV. Photograph: Visuals Unlimited/Corbis

One particular of Britain’s foremost property healthcare suppliers has been deluged by complaints at its failure to provide crucial medicine to sufferers on time amid wider worries about the business house delivery of medicines.

Hundreds of irate patients have bombarded the NHS Alternatives internet site in recent months with emails venting their fury at Healthcare at Property, which describes itself as the UK’s foremost provider of hi-tech property healthcare.

As element of its solutions, Healthcare at Home delivers drugs to the residence for circumstances this kind of as rheumatoid arthritis, cystic fibrosis, and HIV.

The delivery difficulties emerged following Healthcare at Residence moved in March from an in-property delivery support to employing an outdoors business, Movianto, a large European logistics company. It mentioned the move would boost the support, but some of Movianto’s IT techniques failed despite comprehensive testing, said Healthcare at Home.

The delivery firm, which can make four,000 “drops” a day, mentioned that the IT glitch meant Movianto “did not have total visibility more than their delivery schedules” foremost to a surge of incoming calls from 3,000 up to 9,000 per day from individuals requesting delivery time updates, which have continued for longer than expected.

Among the disappointed individuals on NHS Choices was one consumer who wrote: “This company, employed by the NHS, has declined so badly in the final twelve months that I am astonished they are still being utilised. I rely on lifestyle-conserving drug delivery from this organization and have had so much headache re: delivery no displays, incorrect contents etc that I am now forced to warn other individuals of the incompetence of this services.”

Yet another user of the site, Malcolm R, said: “The NHS need to overview the use of this incompetent organisation. They do not response the cellphone, but charge you for waiting in excess of forty minutes on the line. They do not reply to emails. They do not deliver the medicine you need to have.”

In a statement, the organization explained it was operating challenging to repair troubles. It mentioned: “Healthcare at Residence tends to make about four,000 deliveries to patients each day and we have seen a rise in the amount of deliveries that have not been delivered on time. Healthcare at House is completely conscious of the inconvenience and nervousness brought on to any patient when an agreed delivery slot is missed, and they are doing work tirelessly to ensure that these issues are unlikely to lead to disruption to their individuals in the long term.”

Healthcare at Home, which employs about one,000 folks caring for more than 150,000 individuals a 12 months all through the Uk, explained it has enhanced its consumer services staff by 40% so it could take care of more calls and was operating “tirelessly to ensure that these troubles are unlikely to lead to disruption to their individuals in the long term”.

Ruth Poole, the firm’s group clinical director, explained: “We apologise to any patient that has been impacted by the services disruption. We are working challenging with Movianto, our logistics provider, to get the delivery service back to the regular high specifications that our sufferers deserve and expect from us.”

The Standard Pharmaceutical Council, the independent regulator for pharmacists stated: “We are aware of issues that have been raised relating to Healthcare at Property and have been working closely with other organisations to appear into these considerations. We have undertaken a detailed inspection of Healthcare at Home’s companies and have suggested a series of actions for improvement which we will adhere to up to make sure they have been carried out.”

The problem of home delivery of medicines, presented largely by business companies, extends beyond Healthcare at House. Last 12 months, Medco, a massive homecare company, withdrew from the market, prompting NHS England to problem a patient security alert in April, which mentioned: “The variety of reports of failure to provide homecare medicines and merchandise on time has increased significantly. This has in flip resulted in an improved risk to patients of medicine doses getting omitted or delayed.”

The NHS explained NHS trusts, which commission homecare solutions, have a obligation to guarantee the safety of sufferers who acquire homecare companies: “This may contain assessing the recent capability of a selected medication homecare service ahead of new sufferers or new services are commenced.”

Dr Louise Irvine of the National Well being Action party, formed to defend the NHS, stated businesses this kind of as Healthcare at Property were a trigger for concern.

“If this is the kind of company that the proponents of ‘care in the community’ have in thoughts then we ought to be concerned. They look to have been possessing issues for a whilst but not been able to do anything about them,” she mentioned.

Dave Roberts, chief executive of the Nationwide Clinical Homecare Association trade group, insisted that client fulfillment with the sector was high, at 90%, but acknowledged that this had slipped in the last 6 months due to the fact of Medco’s exit.

Crowdfunding Overall health Innovation: Disruptive Organizations And Funders Meet To Adjust Health Delivery

Two of the most considerable pieces of legislation in decades, the Patient Protection and Reasonably priced Care Act (ACA) and the Jumpstart Our Enterprise Startups (JOBS) Act, are poised to transform the complete spectrum of health care. The ACA regulates every little thing from well being insurance specifications to tax collection. The JOBS Act regulates businesses that fund their ventures on-line. In tandem, these two expenses have designed a new world for overall health care innovators and traders. Ironically even though, it is the innovators and traders who are joining forces to do what the ACA is unable to do: minimize fees and improve access. At the 7th Yearly OneMedForum last week in San Francisco far more than 400 1-on-1 investor meetings have been performed among venture capitalists and startup overall health care companies, all in the name of disruptive innovation.

The OneMedForum was held in unison with the JP Morgan Conference, aimed at bringing considered leaders, reformers and financiers together to adjust the delivery of health care. Adjust that is desperately needed primarily based on Congressional Price range Office (CBO) estimates that federal paying for the significant health care plans and Social Safety would improve to a total of 14% of GDP by 2038, twice the seven% common of the past 40 many years.

The creators of the programming think that disruptive innovation is the key component to reshaping the future of health care. They have faith that raising capital on the internet post-JOBS Act will flourish, and that crowdfunding and secondary markets is the quickest way to produce smarter clinical trials, customized medicine and let private firms to go public.

In accordance to conference organizer Brett Johnson’s opening remarks, “Health care is at a vital minute in the United States. With no dramatic modifications, the fees of wellness care will bankrupt the US and eat the vast majority of our resources. Hope lies with innovation.”

OneMedPlace

At the helm of the OneMedForum is OneMedPlace, a firm targeted on partnering and facilitating meetings in between investors and reformers, creating unique platforms for companies and producing OneMedTV live streaming displays and documentaries about overall health reform.

In-line with most conferences, there had been publish-occasion receptions for networking hosted by the likes of AdvaMed2014 and BDO, and panel discussion with experts discussing the ACA and certain topics connected to health reform. Nevertheless, unlike other conferences OneMedForum claims that their part is as a provider of platforms to showcase innovation, which straight rewards the entrepreneurs and traders as strategic discussions and introductions are begun.

“A characteristic special to OneMedForum is the all-natural and scheduled possibilities for meaningful introductions and discussions,” says Chelli Miller, President and CEO of ChelliConnects. “OneMedPlace also has their thumb on regulatory and investment issues affecting startup organizations, such as providing panels on the JOBS Act just before any individual else.”

Yet another distinctive factor of this year’s conference was the major policy themes that were woven throughout the presentations and panels. Using the JOBS Act and the ACA as dual backbones of the 2.five conference days, imagined leaders this kind of as William Hambrecht, Steve Burrill and Jason Hwang shared insight with the CEO’s of far more than 85 biotechnology, daily life sciences, health-related gadget and venture capitalism companies.

Particularly, financier William Hambrecht presented input and outlook for little company IPO’s, predicting that there is a huge, untapped market and that the new changes to regulation could lead to a large enhance in innovation. Steven Burrill in the other hand presented an interesting overview of well being care delivery nowadays and in which it is going.

The Innovators Prescription

Panels also centered heavily on the theories of Clayton Christensen and Jason Hwang, MD from their 2009 book The Innovators Prescription. Dr. Hwang mentioned the ACA and its influence on pioneering disruption, and additional, what it signifies for traders and entrepreneurs. The book, which addresses what is fundamentally incorrect with the US well being care method, led many panelists to contend that the ACA does not in fact handle the fundamentals of lowering charges or escalating entry.

“The American public has grow to be drastically far more interested in wellness care entry, high quality and expense. We at OneMedPlace educate about the underlying troubles in overall health care, the organizations that offer options, and new investment possibilities arising simply because of the JOBS Act,” mentioned Brett Johnson.

Employing secondary markets and crowdfunding, a lot of think that modernization of funding sources can move the market significantly quicker, and generate new spaces of study with new business versions.
