5 Boroughs Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Annual ... - Monitor

esulted from discussions with our local commissioners and GPs around the
development of early intervention and support for people experiencing
dementia.
The Later Life and Memory services new pathway of care began being piloted
in Wigan in March 2012. This is been robustly evaluated by the Trust and its
key partners to demonstrate that the new pathway will deliver on the service
improvements.
Learning Disabilities Services
Following public consultation during 2011/12 a new pathway of care to
support the delivery of service users with learning disabilities was approved.
The agreed approach is to redesign the services delivered by the Trust in the
following way:
To enhance the Specialist Intensive Community Support Team to enable
those in the community to be supported for as long as possible in their
homes
As a result of the enhanced support available, to reduce the number of
Assessment and Treatment beds serving the 4 Boroughs (Warrington,
Halton, St Helens and Knowsley)
To deliver the Assessment and Treatment beds from the best and clinically
most appropriate venue.
Having now agreed this approach, the implementation of the new pathway
commenced in April 2012.
Implementation of Service Line Reporting
Service Line Reporting and Service Line Management is a different way of
looking at the way in which services use resources. It is intended to help
services think about the value they get from the resources they use - not just
whether they have over or under-spent against their budget. In 2011/12 the
Trust Board has regularly received information at a business stream level, but
the aim is to provide a tool to senior managers in the Trust to improve the
efficiency of the services they provide.
Service Line Reporting has been used in children’s services within the Trust
and training provided to other senior managers to help them get the most out
of this particular approach to looking at efficiency and effectiveness. The Trust
will continue to roll out the use of this across the organisation over the next 12
months.
