17th November - 21st November 2014
This week I have been working on a number of projects, including; gathering research for the quality and performance section on the CCG’s website, continuing with producing a business case for procuring a new risk stratification tool as part of the ‘Caring Together’ programme and also continuing to work with Finance by coding invoices and matching continuing healthcare (CHC) packages for payment.
As mentioned in previous weeks, we are looking to procure a new risk stratification tool, in order to identify the top 2% of high risk patients within the East Cheshire area. The risk stratification tool will enable GP’s to identify patients who have complex long-term conditions, who require care and support. The tool is fundamental to our transformation ‘Caring Together’ programme at the Eastern Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group, which aims to encourage individuals to take a more proactive approach to manage their condition at an early stage, to ultimately prevent admission to hospital and A&E visits.
Towards the end of the week, I had the opportunity to attend the HealthVoice meeting, which allows members of the public to voice their opinions and to put forward suggestions for the local healthcare services which we commission. The meeting is a chance for the CCG to understand the public’s views and feelings and to consider which elements need improving; it also gives members of the public the opportunity to become involved in commissioning decisions. This ensures that the CCG is constantly engaging with its patients and taking on board the views of those who use the healthcare services.
The Great CCG Bake Off continues! This week participants were asked to bake biscuits with a Disney theme! There were some incredible biscuits… we have a number of very talented bakers at the CCG! Next week we move on to baking pastry based products!
