What are the consequences of
such fragmented care?
Example 1. Patient Safety
• Studies done since the 1970's have shown the high
incidences of medical errors and deaths resulting from
them.
• The Harvard Medical Practice Study (1991) estimated
iatrogenic injury contributed to 180,000 deaths in US
annually, more recent figures suggest 98,000.
• A recent study suggested that 17% of hospitalized patients
are the victim of an error
• Yet, today only 3% of physicians believe that medical
errors are a principal health concern. There is more
concern with car accidents!
Comparisons
Alarming Medical Safety Stats
• The total number of medical errors and deaths equals three jumbo
jets crashing every 2 days (note in 1998 no domestic airline
fatalities)
• The error rate of ICU's (Intensive Care Units) 1.7% would be like the
post office losing over 16,000 pieces of mail every hour of every
day.
• Or like our banks wrongly cashing 32,000 checks every hour of
every day, every year!
• 7,000 patients die each year because of sloppy handwriting.
• 7.5 million unnecessary medical and surgical procedures are
performed annually.
• More than half of the U.S. population has received unnecessary
medical treatment.
Now for the Good News

There is a way to reform the health system to
create a high quality, low cost system that fair
and equitable for all citizens.
A proper system of Chronic Disease
Management is central to this process.
2. Principles:
1. Align all funding and payment incentives to
encourage integrated care of chronic disease:
Centralize when necessary; decentralized when possible.
2. Promote value conscious consumption of HC.
Provide quality, cost effective, transparent care backed by evidence and
outcomes.
Objective of Quality and Clinical
Care Directorate & the National
Programmes
Dr. Barry White
What is the mission of the
Directorate of Quality & Clinical
Care?
• Better care and better use of resources
• If patients get the right treatment we can save
lives and money
2. Why take a programmatic
approach to change?
•The advantages of developing chronic disease management
programs are:
– Structured approach
– Change is led by experienced clinicians.
– Generates clinical buy-in and ownership from the start
– Engages Colleges and professional bodies.
– Enables greater organisational responsiveness i.e.
frontline staff can access the top of the organisation in
one step via the national lead.
– Sustained focus
4. What are the clinical programs
& initiatives?
1. Primary Care Program
•
2. Chronic disease management programs •
– Stroke
– Acute coronary syndrome
– Heart failure
– Asthma/COPD
– Diabetes
– Epilepsy
•
– Mental health
•
3. Outpatient management programs
– Dermatology
– Neurology
– Rheumatology
– Orthopaedics
•
4. Emergency function related programs
– Acute Medicine
– Elective surgery
– Diagnostic Imaging
– Care of the elderly
•
5. Key Quality Safety and Risk initiatives
– Governance
– Underperforming clinician process
– Patient safety bundles
– Incident reporting
– Audit
6. Other Clinical program areas
– Obstetrics
– Paediatrics
– ICU
– HCAI
– Palliative care
– Neurorehab
7. Enabling programmes
– Development of a resource allocation
model
– Pharma strategy
– Implementation of Clinical Directorates
– Defining a standard approach to
delivering change
4. Overall principles
• Set goals that achieve gains in cost, quality, access and
compliance
• Set goals that are simple and meaningful – e.g. prevent
300 stroke deaths
• Target what is achievable
• Nationalise existing local good practice - do not reinvent
the wheel
• Ensure local ownership (authority, accountability and
responsibility)
• Ensure patient involvement
