This Co-production Week, I’m excited to share the progress Access Elemental Social Prescribing have made alongside NHS England. Having worked closely on this project and realising its potential, we are coordinating efforts to help PCNs and ICBs leverage new funding opportunities to transform primary care. Our latest article highlights how this interim funding, introduced after the Digital Pathway Framework Funding cancellation, enables PCNs and ICBs to modernise general practice by focusing on community-specific needs. Through strategically deploying this funding by investing in digital social prescribing, primary care services can make strides in reducing GP workloads, addressing social determinants of health, enhancing community mental health, and improving patient outcomes. #CoProductionWeek #PrimaryCare #HealthcareInnovation #DigitalHealth #SocialPrescribing #CommunityHealth

Building resilience in the system, starts with building resilience in the workforce and supporting staff wellbeing. 2.

We are absolutely thrilled to have been named alongside Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust and The Life Rooms, as a finalist in Health Tech News's awards. Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust has integrated with Access HSC’s social prescribing tool with EPR to transform mental health services. The trust covers a wide geographical area including some of the UK’s most deprived communities, with community-based services deemed to be of great importance; however, a disconnect existed between health and community care with mental health clinicians unable to refer into Life Rooms, a service set up as a ‘social front door’ to provide support with issues such as loneliness and housing. Mersey Care worked with Access HSC to integrate its Rio EPR system with a social prescribing tool, Elemental, allowing mental health professionals to refer patients to Mersey Care’s Life Rooms service directly through familiar Rio software. The interoperability of systems enables service users to be supported in a safe, well-governed way by a team at Life Rooms with specialist knowledge, whilst clinical teams would also have full oversight of case notes and the support that referred patients had utilised. To date over 1,396 individuals have been referred and over 2,000 social prescriptions co-produced. Surveys undertaken indicate that prior to the introduced interoperability of systems, the average amount of time spent meeting social needs of service users was 27 minutes per appointment; since having access to this service, the average time is eight minutes per amount. S97 percent of staff reported that they felt confident meeting social needs of service users and 91 percent felt it beneficial to access social prescribing notes through the EPR. Looking ahead. 28 clinical teams across the region are now making referrals through the Rio/Elemental integration, with staff in Liverpool and Sefton recently been given access to the system. Life Rooms staff intend to use positive findings from the project to take the idea to more clinical teams nationwide.

Last week I had the amazing opportunity to attend #NatCon24, the annual conference organized by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. It was energizing to hear how CCBHCs, CMHCs, state agencies, and other organizations are working together to provide mental health and substance use care in their communities.   Some key takeaways: --- Community-based care models can meaningfully impact healthcare costs. States like Missouri, New York, and Texas saw that their CCBHCs can greatly reduce hospitalizations and ED utilization, which are high drivers of cost of care --- It takes a village. Care does not happen in one setting. It takes coordination of services and resources to engage patients in their treatment and recovery journey. --- Tighter integration of primary care and behavioral health services can help patients get care faster. This is already happening at many FQHCs across the country, but more can be done in other care settings --- Payment models matter. Prospective payments allow organizations to make meaningful investments in the people and technology resources needed to provide effective patient care. PPS financing for CCBHCs enables more innovation, workforce development, and comprehensive wraparound services for whole-person care   There is a lot of work to do still, I'm excited to partner with other leaders in this space to continue to advance mental health and substance use care.
