community / 2o care
The treatment
• The case for consultant delivered care
• Acute care toolkits – organisation of care & consultant working
• What type of consultant? generalists vs specialist
• 7 day working
• Hospitals on the edge – priority areas (summary)

Crisis : Hospitals on the edge September 2012
Clinical demand• 37% admissions (10yr) 33% acute beds (25yr)
Casemix/organisation• Age, co-morbidity &
expectation complex care available to all
• Changes to out of hours care. Over-reliance on secondary care OOH
Workforce crisis• pressure consultants
70% (3yr)
• 27% SpRs unmanageable workload
• Recruitment EM, elderly care, GIM training
• Pressure : Nurse, AHP staffing

RCP Health Bill survey All members & fellows - March 2012
Top 5 Concerns – wider health agenda
1. Lack continuity of care2. Efficiency savings/funding3. Clinical staff shortages4. Health reforms5. Education training &
research
![Page 7: Hospitals on the edge Crisis in acute medical services Dr Mark Temple Consultant Physician & Nephrologist Acute care fellow Royal College of Physicians.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5518ad65550346881f8b4d86/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
RCP: Members & Fellows survey• Recommend their hospital to family member?
– 1:10 NO, 1:4 not sure• Hospital’s ability to deliver high quality care 24/7?
– 34% average, 10% poor• Continuity or care the norm? 43% average, 25% poor• Stable teams care & teaching? 40% average, 21% poor• Discharge with realistic allocation responsibility for further
actions: 38% average, 21% poor
• Success of handover : 16% felt 80% handovers successful<10% felt 90% successful

Hospitals on the edge RCP September 2012
Fractured care • Lack of continuity of care
major concern March 12 • Multiple ward moves, handover, LOS
Outcomes:• mortality w/e (10%)
• NCEPOD – high quality care = consultant care
(time to intervene DNAR)
• Francis report (ii) - Mid Staffs – systematic failure of good care Inadequate staffing / patient centred care
• NHS financial climate

Elephants in the room• Social care funding &
occupancy of acute medical beds.
7/7 admission 5/7 discharge
• NHS 7 day working = secondary careFailure to develop alternatives to hospital admission

Changing profile of patients changing needs
• 65% admissions > 65• Pts > 65 occupy 70%
of bed days– > 85 - 25% bed days
• Last decade :65% increase
admissions age >75[31% age 18-59]
• Mean LOSAge > 85 LOS 11 daysAge < 65 LOS 3 days
25% of all in-patients have dementia

Out of hours care breakdown Secondary care is the health service OOH
• Factors influencing decision to admit:– Lack of alternatives to admission - accessible 7/7– Less experienced staff (OOH) admit “senior review
mane”– “Momentum to admit” NH resident OOH carer
expectation– Baseline clinical status uncertain “less responsive”,
“not eating”, “off legs” – Minor illness/major social support issues -admit
“safe” option & perceived as only way to assess adequately

Benefits of consultant delivered care. Academy Royal Medical Colleges 2012
• Rapid, appropriate decision making(endorse DNACPR where CPR futile)• Improved outcomes• More efficient use of resources• GP access to fully trained Dr• Pt expectation of access to
appropriately skilled clinician & info• Benefits to training junior doctors
![Page 19: Hospitals on the edge Crisis in acute medical services Dr Mark Temple Consultant Physician & Nephrologist Acute care fellow Royal College of Physicians.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5518ad65550346881f8b4d86/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Benefits of consultant delivered careAcademy Royal Medical Colleges• Increased mortality & morbidity associated
with delay in consultant involvement – range of fields (acute medicine)
• Increased mortality at w/es attributed to reduced consultant input in care
• Studies designed to improve pt care incorporating earlier consultant involvement – improved outcomes

Consultant presenceRCP Position statement 11/2010
• Hospitals undertaking the admission of acutely ill medical patients should have a consultant physician on site for at least 12 hours per day, seven days a week, at times relating to peak admission periods. The consultant should have no other duties scheduled during this period.
• Currently - average hospital consultant cover gap:– Weekday 4.4 hrs - requires 35% increase cons hrs – Weekend 7.3 hrs - 60% increase consultant hours

ACT 2: High quality care for acutely ill patients
1: AMU• Consultant on site 12 hours day without conflicting
duties • At least 2 consultant WRs during 12 hrs• In period AMU staffed by consultant all newly
admitted patients should be seen within 6-8 hrs. • Patients admitted overnight seen within 12-14 hrs• The staffing, resources and specialist support
services involved in the care of medical emergencies should be organised on the basis of 7 day working
![Page 24: Hospitals on the edge Crisis in acute medical services Dr Mark Temple Consultant Physician & Nephrologist Acute care fellow Royal College of Physicians.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5518ad65550346881f8b4d86/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
AMU: Support for patterns consultant working: RCP survey Feb-April 2010: Association pattern of cons cover acute medical admissions & patient outcomes :
• Admitting cons > 4hrs/day, 7 days a weeklower 28/7 re-admissions rate
• Consultant on call no other fixed commitmentslower adjusted case fatality rate
• Consultants conducting >2 WRs / day on AMU lower adjusted mortality pts LOS > 7days

ACT 2: High quality care for acutely ill patients Improving care - Medical and surgical wards
Particular risk: Transfer out of AMU within 48 hrs – evolving acute illness
Move to a different landscape!From AMU : enhanced staffing (cons) organisation of careTo wards:
– Unfamiliar with pt/acute care– Uncertainties about diagnosis & management – Quality monitoring /response pt deterioration?
Patient transfer Friday pm (next cons round 72 hours +?)
![Page 26: Hospitals on the edge Crisis in acute medical services Dr Mark Temple Consultant Physician & Nephrologist Acute care fellow Royal College of Physicians.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5518ad65550346881f8b4d86/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
ACT 2: Pts transferred out of AMU – receive a consultant review within 24 hrs – 7/7
Patients transferred out AMU: Enhanced review - Consultant of team responsible for continuing care – “Golden Hour” priority duty in first working hour– Template cons physician working 7/7 all wards
• “Buddy” arrangements : link medical teams to Surgical wards • Weekday: reschedule conflicting duties 8.30-10• Weekend: consultand rota for shared bed patch• Review all New + acutely ill
Facilitates:Reliable cons review critical time acute illness– Confirm: Diagnosis, Rx, discharge, ceilings of care,– Support ward nurses & covering med staff – Review newly transferred & acutely ill

How to change consultant working The Physicians story - Paul Woodmansey (2011)• AMU consultant cover
12hrs w/d, 6-8hrs w/e• W/E Troubleshooting
Consultant visits all med wards : sick & quick d/c
• Increase early discharge
• Coincided reduction mortality (all and w/e)
• Major change working life : introduced with relative ease
• Consultant proposed tried & accepted
• Good for pt care• “Greatest challenge is
cons delivered (not led) service required”
• “Pace .. in hospital .. pts need daily senior input”

More consultants needed: - support acute take 7/7What type of consultant? Changing patients & needs
The generalist – Back to the future?DeLorean 1981
• GIM physician – once dynamic!• Now unpopular – flight to
specialty away from acute take
• < 25 % dual trainees (GIM /specialty) wish to practice GIM
• Pts now rarely present with a isolated single organ illness
Renaissance for GIM?
![Page 32: Hospitals on the edge Crisis in acute medical services Dr Mark Temple Consultant Physician & Nephrologist Acute care fellow Royal College of Physicians.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5518ad65550346881f8b4d86/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Supporting the consultant led 7 day ward round (1) : the 7 day Hospital
• Diagnostics • Assessment & treatment:
– Therapists, SW, specialist nurses
• Nursing culture monitoring progress – proactive use consultant decision making – ceilings of care (DNACPR)– Escalation enhanced care beds (level 1 – 1.5)
• Discharge support – pathways out (intermediate care, interim beds)
• Ambulatory care – default alternative to admission?

Supporting the consultant led 7 day ward round (2) : the communityRCP – Hospitals on the edge - admissions
Move focus from episodic care [crisis] – Kings Fund to:• Prevention – post d/c what to do in an emergency• Proactive management declining health: advanced
care decisions • Integrated care (COPD) - manage chronic disease • Consistent standards primary care - 7 day • Develop alternatives to admission that work 7/7 • Discharge pathways working consistently 7/7
