New community services providing care in peoples homes rather than hospital An intensive rehabilitation and crisis management pathway was created to enable patients to make a realistic choice of preferred place of care and to increase their control over the management of their treatment Clinically, there are associated risks with inpatient admissions e.g. reduced independence, increased risk of hospital acquired infections etc. which also supported the need for new community services Pathways were reviewed with commissioners and stakeholders and the new IRS and CTT services were established (November 2013) The new services were agreed to be permanently established following Governing Body decision December 2013 Both services have been continuously monitored and developed to support a flexible inpatient and community pathway that aids patients to achieve the best outcomes and receive care in the most appropriate place These services form part of the Better Care Fund programme

Regular surveys are conducted to monitor the patient experience element of the services. Opposite is a selection of actual patient feedback from this process. For both CTT and IRS, patients have identified that if the services had not been there, it would have resulted in a hospital attendance and possible admission. Patient feedback CTT: Immediate treatment instead of going to hospital CTT: I had a visit within 2 ½ hours, the therapist bent over backwards to get the help I needed, I was followed up to make sure everything was ok CTT: They exceeded expectations, nothing was too much trouble If patients use the feedback opportunity to flag issues, these are fed back to the project group who work to ensure that the issues are rectified; thus patient feedback directly drives service improvement. IRS: I think it is so good how I improved quickly IRS: I lack confidence because I am 100 years old. But now I am happy to walk around my house with my new frame IRS: I don t know what I would have done without you
Contribution of Intermediate Care to system resilience In supporting a significant number of Havering residents to be maintained at home without the need for a hospital admission (over 11,000 Havering residents since the trial began), the services have made a substantial contribution to overall system resilience. This has been reflected in improved performance at BHRUT and the need for less community beds. In addition, the services have presented opportunities for further development including: LAS/CTT falls car: staffed by a paramedic and a CTT nurse, operating 7 days a week from 7am to 7pm. From October 2014 to March 2015 the team visited 652 patients and managed to keep 389 at home (60%) avoiding the need for an emergency ambulance, A&E attendance and admission (where that would have been appropriate). IRS/CTT in-reach: Community Treatment Team support in A&E at Queens hospital and an in-reach Intensive Rehabilitation Service to the orthopaedic and geriatric wards on both the Queens and King George hospital sites to support patients to go home sooner and reducing the number of re-admissions to hospital. The impact of this service has been to free up the equivalent (on average) of around 10 hospital beds per month and support patients to maintain their independence at home.
