Bowling TogetherAccess to Local Information to Support Self Management[‘Living Well with a Long-Term Condition: Finding Local Supports’]
engagement, innovation, co-creation, mutuality…“It’s OK to be exciting…but not too exciting”
Presentation to BCS Health Scotland Conference ‘Empowering Patients to gain more from eHealth’21st. Sept 2009

On the menu today
• Context – Demographics; policy; the concept of ‘self-
management’• Our take on the context
– Looking at what’s available just now• What we’ve been up to so far • A bit more on the informatics
– [if time allows: more details on other work-streams ]• Next steps – as far as we can see • What might success look like? • Finish

What this is all really about
…engagement, innovation, co-creation, mutuality…and informatics…

The original Policy Brief A ‘Self management framework’
‘Better Health Better Care’ Action Plan:
21/09/2009 7
The original Brief‘Better Health Better Care’ Action Plan:
“A self management framework is required in each area to identify existing support systems and provide a map for staff and the public. It will include
– details of the different kinds of support available • in a particular area, • or for a particular condition at each stage of the patient
journey,
– details on group activities, condition specific and generic self management programmes, mental health services, motivational coaching; carer and family support and telecare support.”

People are already ‘self managing’
21/09/2009 11
We needed to start somewhere:a scenario
You’ve been diagnosed with a Long-Term Condition…(e.g. rheumatoid arthritis)– Got the pamphlet about the disease and how worried
to be about it
• You’re minded to try ‘self-management’ of the condition– Got the general advice about living with it
• Which suggests you need to go & find out some stuff….
• What help d’you commonly find?
21/09/2009 12
How about this?
Yes, maybe a start, but what if
I want local info??
21/09/2009 13
Or these? Useful as far as they go, but they do rather tend to stick with static info like service HQ, or buildings.
21/09/2009 14
Or these?
21/09/2009 15
Meantime, what about these?
21/09/2009 16
…Which can generally be found in places like this
21/09/2009 17
Our take on all this:
"When I see things available to me locally, I need to know if I can do it on a Thursday afternoon, which is the only time my caring responsibilities allow. And I need to know if I can get a bus there - I don't have a car”
– So the general phone number for the Centre, or worse the organisation’s HQ, doesn’t really help enough?
– If institutions could really help, they would be doing it already, surely??
– …There seems to be a problem.– Time for a different approach??
21/09/2009 18
We think…
• …that this sort of specific, fluid, information is what we want to help develop.
• That it can best be:– Gathered– Sorted & made sense of– And made available where you are…
….Socially
21/09/2009 19
…So just for example you could get this sort of thing…
Try a mental ‘search & replace’ of ‘Tube Station’ with ‘condition management class’?
This working model was built in less than 48 hours…by a team of enthusiasts
…as well as making the info pop up in clinical systems, support NHS24 call-handling, appear in directories, etc
21/09/2009 20
How we’ve approached this
Thus far, in summary:– Early rehearsals
• ‘Being patient’ – ethnography in south Edinburgh
– Finding out what might be helpful• Health Literacy work with adult learners
– Other scoping:• ICT Architecture and Design• Involving schools and students• Open Innovation process
More…
21/09/2009 21
Our Approach 1/4What might people find useful?
• Early rehearsals–‘Being patient’ –
ethnography in south Edinburgh [video ]
• Health Literacy work
–Two groups of adult learners with a range of LTCs
–Constructing their own experiences within a Learning process
–Tutor pack, videos, etc. for use in adult learning elsewhere, to come
21/09/2009 22
Our Approach 2/4Technology architecture (outline)Information capture:
• Harvesting via search
• Social book-marking
• E-form
• Photo & upload
• Etc.
Sense-making, organisation, and storage:
• Semantic mark-up
• tagging & cataloguing
• etc.
Information availability:
• API
• Feeds
• etc

Our Approach 3/4a Involving schools and students
Thus far we’re approaching:– ‘Curriculum for Excellence’ frameworks
• health & well-being, social science, technology, etc.
– Intending to work with • local secondary school and feeder primaries• Teacher networks
– …to create a series of ‘exemplars’ with which to inspire other teachers, hopefully
21/09/2009 24
Our Approach 3/4b Involving schools and students
Learning exercises to support CfE ‘experiences and outcomes’ within each framework– for school students
• E.g. Search & find, sense-making, upload to web, garnering patient experiences, crisp telephone manner when speaking to service-providers, class projects on web-application development, etc etc.
21/09/2009 25
Our Approach 4/4An open innovation processModels include:• Social Innovation camp• ‘user-centred design’• Open Ventures Challenge
We’re planning to meld these:• Recruit via
– LTC Alliance member organisations– ‘Geeks with Heart’ networks
• Run a series of warm-up workshops for both communities• Run a ‘camp’ – but phase the event so that people with LTCs can
make a real contribution at the time• Broker subsequent support from wider ICT and Change
communities for the range of prototype applications and business plans that we hope will result
21/09/2009 26
For more details on what we’re up to
In summary:– Early rehearsals
• ‘Being patient’ – ethnography in south Edinburgh– The blog; the video
– Health Literacy work – Other scoping:
• ICT Architecture and Design • Involving schools and students • Open Innovation process
More…
21/09/2009 27
What about consolidation & follow-through?
• Governance development• Storage development• Directory Provider engagement
– Data– Sense making & curation– Presentation– Etc.
• Software/business development• CfE & adult literacies consolidation
• Work to scope the ‘infointentionaction’ process of engagement.
21/09/2009 28
What might success look like?
• A bit early to say…but
• Where one might look for signs– Clinical consultations– NHS24 call-handling– The intermediaries’ (librarians/pharmacists/…)
response– When a friend Googles on your behalf– A growth in mashups, SME involvement, etc.
21/09/2009 29
Health literacy as context
Ensure prototype specification is informed:
• by experience of people who are disadvantaged by poor literacy skills
• by experience of people living with long term conditions

A definition
“the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions.”

21/09/2009 31
Why health literacy?
• Vital to consider literacy when developing national programmes on access to health information
• AMA found health literacy is stronger predictor of health status than income, employment status, education level, race or ethnic group
• People with poor literacy skills have poorer health status, less knowledge of self management and health promoting behaviours

One of the Adult learners groups we joined in with
21/09/2009 33
Material for decoding by the group
21/09/2009 34
Some ‘critical thinking’ in progress
21/09/2009 35
What did we learn?• Information about local support to self
manage is often there but hard to access• People do not always expect quality
assured information• Seems like everyone has a phone and
TV?• Local means really local!• People get info from untraditional sources,
huge amount of social networking / informal sharing

21/09/2009 36
Literacy – basic questions of any information
• Authorship– Who are they, are they qualified to provide the info, what are their
affiliations?
• Attribution– Does it look reliable, is it referenced in any way?
• Audience– States intended recipients & targets?
• Currency– Info up to date/dated at all?
• Disclosure– Who owns/sponsors the info, do they have a vested interest?
• Double check– Use more than one source, and where possible in co-operation with a
health practitioner[With thanks to PIF]

To re-cap
• The demographic ‘supertanker’• Mainstream directories useful but not quite
there, really• The importance of health literacy as a context• A loosely-coupled information architecture
– It’s not so much about building something as setting out an eco-system that others can explore
• Schools, educational experiences & outcomes, & hunter-gathering
• Innovation & ‘appreciative enquiry’• Everyone can (well, must) join in, in some
way.
