Introduction
In healthcare sector, the usual business trends are over. It is evident that around the world, the health care sector has been struggling due to the uneven quality and rising cost even though the management have been working hard with well-trained and well-intentioned clinicians. The health care leaders including the policy makers have been trying countless adjustments and incremental fixes against reducing e
ors, enforcing guidelines and attacking frauds and implementing electronic medical records. However, none of them could make successful impact. In the cu
ent report, a fundamentally new strategy will be explored so that the patients and the clinicians are benefitted at its optimum level (Bowes, Dawson and Ashworth, 2021). The new strategy will concentrate in maximising the value of the patient so that it can achieve the best outcome for lower costs.
The organisation needs to move away from the supply-driven health care strategy and support a patient-centred system based on the need of the patients. The integrated work framework will be able to replace the fragmented system so that the local provider can provide full ranges of services through a system that will be able to cater medical services to the people at right locations so that a high value of care can be provided to the consumers (Kingston et al. 2018). This transformation will not be a single step rather it will depend on an overarching strategy. It will also require restructuring of the health care delivery, which is ca
ied out in an organised, reimbursed and measured format. A value-based care will be developed with the deployment of providers as well as with the collaboration with the other organisation so that a value-based care can be developed.
1. Planned Service
The planned service will be a long-term care service for aged homes. This strategy will include a framework so that the budget as well as the resource allocation can be planned for the next five years. The budget will include the support that the organisation will provide to prioritise and improve the long-term care services for a diverse elderly population. The organisation will provide a complex care service that will help the aged people to meet their social needs (Cooper et al. 2018). The strategy will align care services for the aged with equity, respect, quality of life and inclusion. The plan will include supporting 50 elderly and vulnerable individuals with long-term care home by providing them with an enhanced services and programs. Further, the program will also include facilities and services that will meet the diverse and complex needs of the selected vulnerable group of people.
Finally, the organisation will aim for recognising themselves as one of the leaders in the health sector providing long-term care for the seniors in the UK. The scope of the long-term care homes is that they provide long term health care services is that the residents are provided with care services for a longer period of time (D'Adamo, Yoshikawa and Ouslander, 2020). The services will provide home for the vulnerable individuals whether it is a permanent stay, short-stay or convalescent. The services will also include community support programs for the aged that will include supporting housing services, homemaking services and adult day programs. Considering this context, the organisation aims to change the landscape of the long-term care through the planned service.
The service plan will be able to capture the service level including the enhancements, which once initiated will be able to identify opportunities for other new services. However, these new services can only be further identified once the management of the organisation approves and ready to fund for them (de Carvalho et al. 2017). The planned service will be a part of holistic approach of the organisation with a
oader initiative of capital renewal and divisional strategy collaborating with the city council as well as with the other health care organisation. Preparing for the project will be a collaborative process that will involve different stakeholder groups. The organisation will involve in research, information gathering followed by through consultation so that the overall themes including the priorities are emerged.
Amongst the main priorities of the strategy, there were three themes, which were decided. Firstly, delivering the exemplary care as well as services as a part of the continuum of care. Secondly serving the vulnerable individuals as well as responding to the needs of the merging community. Lastly leading advances for a long-term support and care services for the elderly (Etkind et al. 2017). In the service plan, it is also important to include what the organisation will be doing for the selected 50 elderly individuals in terms of the service delivery, who will the selected seniors and how the organisation will operate in terms of the
oader health care system. The planning process of the service will include combinations of various activities. This includes environmental scanning data collection and analysis. This is followed by the stakeholder engagement; integration and partnership process with the state council and other health care organisation so that the new strategies can be aligned with the existing strategies.
2. Policy Landmarks and Example Initiative
The policy for long terms care in UK was based on three main factors. Firstly, the change in the pattern of disease observed amongst the aging population. This resulted in the mixture of needs that included co-mo
idity, dementia and frailty (Fe
ell et al. 2018). The second aspect was the increase in the fragmentation as well as complexity of the services that have been commissioned and funded. In addition, there were several provisions of integrated care that have been founded under NHS as ‘social care’ of the elderly (Evans et al. 2019).
These foundations included at least 152 local authorities. One such policy was the Community Care Act 1990, which works under NHS have been providing 90% of the funds to the social care services like in nursing home, residential and home care for elderly. Further, the reform Health and Social Care Act 2012 concentrated on providing an integrated care system in terms of primary care, acute hospitals, social care, mental hospitals and community health services.
These services have been funded and commissioned separately by different governance, regulatory regimes and accountability. In addition, there have been several longstanding distinctions in between the funded care and the NHS care in terms of the general taxation and financial assessment of the public social care funds (Hanlon et al. 2018).
Nevertheless, with financial crash in 2008 followed by the election of the coalition government in UK in 2010 resulted in creating a renewed interest within the policy makers for funding integrated care. Moreover, the government initiated the deficit reduction program that concentrated on protecting the NHS from budget reduction in real term. However, this resulted in the substantial financial reduction on other departments that included funds provided by the local government to social care.
There was a vast difference in terms of social care provided by the NHS and other organisation was observed due to the financial crisis (Kingston et al. 2018). Under this circumstance, the integrated care working strategy with the investment on the care of 50 vulnerable elderly will be one of the effective contributions that will be made by the organisation.
In terms of the legislative context, the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and Care Act 2014 that provided duties and opportunities to different organisation so that they can contribute and promote integrated care (Hu, 2019). One of the importance of this legislation was it could create opportunities for the local authorities under the charge provided by the Health and Wellbeing Boards to promote wellbeing and health strategy through an integrated process.
Since then the UK government have been working closely with the social and health care sectors in order to establish new policy framework for an integrated care as well as support for the elderly population. These policies also review various national ba
iers that the organisation have to overcome so that they can provide integrated services in the local areas supported by the local organisations (Kingston et al. 2018).
