9. We set out clearly the responsibilities of each provider in the ICP
Actively participate at case conferences Support and take part in care planning
โช Identify and prepare patient cases for โช Support MDGs in creating initial care plans
discussion (e.g., inpatients, social service for all diabetic patients and 50% of patients
users with health issues, etc.) aged 75 and over (e.g., by providing
seconded nurses to the MDG)
โช Give specialist input on patient
cases brought by other participants โช Modify care plans with patientsโ GPs as
needed
โช Be the expert for the MDG on the full range
of available services and resources
โช Follow-up on questions and actions
generated through the case conference
โช Discuss MDG performance, identify
opportunities for improvement, and
allocate out-of-hospital investment
โช Use the ICP IT tool to see range of patient
data and history across multiple settings
โช Identify system gaps and
โช Complete โactionsโ (referrals) and regularly opportunities
monitor activity
โช Collaborate with MDG partners on day-to- โช Identify best practice across MDGs

13. Things we learnt en routeโฆ
โข Ground conversations by reminding people we are doing this because
we want to improve patient care and make professionalโs jobs better
โข Be able to explain the concept simply and agree a single performance
metric
โข Identify patient cohorts which aligned to NWL PCTs clinical case for
change
โข Build a โbolt onโ to the existing NHS infrastructure and rules
โข Donโt try and redesign the NHS financial payment mechanisms
โข Donโt create a new organisation
โข Donโt challenge existing or emergent NHS policy
โข Take the minimum of funding out of providers up-front
โข Invest sufficient resource to set up the pilot and deliver operationally on
the ground the new ways of working
