Managing the ‘behaviours’
Connecting Care – why is it needed?
“Adequate and timely information
must be shared between services
whenever there is a transfer of care
between individuals or services.”
“The information I have is
limited and frequently is
missing important
elements…”
“There needs to be better
communication between
‘in-hours’ and out of hours
services.”
“Services in all settings including
health and social care need to
improve their communication
and handover ”
“I don’t have access to
“I can’t call people in the
middle of the night for
information…”
“There are delays in getting
hold of information that I
need…and I spend a lot of
time chasing it up…”
*Summarised from
feedback from clinicians
during workshop events
Clinical leaders told
us that NOT having
access to accurate,
timely, shared
information is a
‘blocker’ to
providing highquality, effective,
efficient care…
some important
information
electronically…”
“Sometimes I just have a piece of
paper and I’m not sure who
wrote it or when”
Connecting Care – what is it?
Clinical leaders told us that NOT
having access to accurate, timely,
shared information is a ‘blocker’ to
providing high-quality, effective,
efficient care…
Connecting Care is our response to
the call from our clinical leaders across
Bristol and beyond for better, more
joined-up information
Connecting Care is our name for the
BNSSG Interoperability Programme.
We aim to deliver a detailed, local
shared patient record that pulls
together health and social care
information - providing a unified /
holistic view that can be used to
facilitate improved care provision and
clinical decision-making
Connecting Care – what is it?
• Pan-community project involving 13 local health & social care
organisations
• Pulling together & integrating information from primary,
community, mental health, acute care and social care in order
to support point of care
• Taking a staged approach –
– Stage one will focus on urgent and unplanned care (12 months)
– This will involve iterative development methods, a lot of learning, very
close working with clinicians who are part of the pilot, close working
with the technical supplier and a firm focus on exploring benefits – to
support the delivery of a Business Case for the full strategic solution
Connecting Care – what? Scope
• General
– Taking a staged approach – first stage is for 12 months.
– Key deliverables
• A working system
• A Business Case for the second stage
– Second stage contract will be for 5 years (plus extension)
• Clinical / care ‘theme’
– Stage one intends to focus on urgent & unplanned care
– Stage two will be for wider use (long term conditions, other pathways,
‘patient portals’…and whatever else we choose to do)
• Numbers of users
– Stage one c.300+
– Stage two – 10,000+

Connecting Care – Behaviours
The ‘herding cats’ challenge –
Connecting Care characterised by:
• Multiple organisations with multiple agenda
• Multiple clinician professions with multiple priorities
• Multiple system suppliers with multiple commercial interests
But there is only ONE patient
Connecting Care – Behaviours
The ‘herding cats’ challenge –
Characteristics of successfully meeting that challenge:
•
•
•
•
Leadership
Vision
Direction
Individuals
yeah yeah yeah
But managing ‘behaviours’ is key to cat herding
Connecting Care – Behaviours
The ‘herding cats’ challenge –
Recognise and work on the different elements –
• Political dimension
• Personal dimension
• Human behaviours
• Organisational behaviours
• Interests, motivations and blockers
• Time and timing
Connecting Care – Behaviours
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Work at it - it doesn’t happen by accident
Accept it is going to take time
Create ‘independent brokerage’
Recognise different interests and work to accommodate
Recognise vested interests and pander to them where necessary
Give everyone reasons to be at the table
Encourage collegiate behaviour, liking each other being happy
about the programme
Appeal to the greater good
Bring dissenters inside the tent
Deal with key stakeholders individually and in groups, formally
and informally – be flexible in your approach
Be trustworthy, honest and open….but a little clandestine now
and then ;-)
Connecting Care – behaviours
It takes time to build a partnership
Early 2010 –
Small first
meeting –
setting the
vision, getting
people around
the table
Late 2011 –
decide
procurement
strategy and
go for it!
Early 2011 – falter a
bit. But we carry
on…and gather
momentum.
Considering options
for trials, proof of
concept…national
frameworks etc.
2013 –
We’re
off!
Project
starts
2012 – in
procurement…
competitive
dialogue.
More interest –
new partners
come on board
Connecting Care – Behaviours
The ‘herding cats’ challenge –
“When my cats aren't happy, I'm not happy. Not because I care
about their mood but because I know they're just sitting there
thinking up ways to get even”
