Shifting the balance of care: great expectations
1. Candace Imison, Director of Policy, Nuffield Trust
Shifting the balance of
care
Great expectations
2. A long term ambition

“The general availability of medical
services can only be effected by new
and extended organisation,
distributed according to the needs of
the community. This organisation is
needed on grounds of efficiency and
cost, and is necessary alike in the
interest of the public and of the
medical profession.”

Medical and Allied Services (Dawson

Risk stratification: not the whole solution
• Regression to mean
• Requires holistic
view of patient
• Patient’s capacity to
engage
• Need very high
impact on those at
greatest risk to have
impact overall

15. Implementation needs to take wide range
of factors into account
• Requires rigorous framing of
the problem and contextual
factors that could influence
feasibility and effectiveness
• Including influencing
professional behaviour such
as attitudes to risk

16. Why is it so hard to release savings from
shifting care?

• Lower unit costs in community
does not mean lower costs
overall. Price Cost
• Additional services supply-
induced demand
• Care coordination can cost
more than it saves
• Targeting overuse can expose

19. Primary and community care facing
significant challenges
19
• 1/3 GP practices have a
vacancy for at least one
partner
• 2016 - NHS England
identified 20% GP practices
as vulnerable
• 1/5 district nurse posts
vacant
20. Will economic impact only be visible
when we have whole system change?
20
• A more radical approach needed?
• Initiatives have been too small and
underpowered?
• Unsupported by wider system
incentives
• Lack of time
• Inappropriate measures of success
21. Conclusion
21
• The NHS is undertaking the herculean task of changing its modus
operandi at the same time as experiencing the leanest years in its
history.
• Nobody can argue against the principle of better, more appropriate care
closer to home.
• But we cannot assume that this will save money, especially in the short
term.
• To succeed, we need a relentless focus on what works
• Crucially, to admit when the funding envelope simply isn’t big enough to
deliver the transformation needed.
