Today, integrated care boards face tough challenges when it comes to improving the health of their population.
With a growing chronic disease burden, ICBs are charged with boosting prevention, driving timely intervention and reducing health inequalities across their footprint. At the same time, they must deliver efficiencies and ensure financial sustainability, meeting respective 5-year plan objectives for their system.
Optimal management of long-term conditions and their risk factors is the bedrock on which success is built. But deploying proactive models that truly work at scale is complex. That’s why Suvera provides a simple solution for ICBs to effectively and efficiently deliver chronic care and achieve their objectives.
How? With virtual clinics.
Similar to virtual wards, Suvera clinics support proactive, ongoing management of long-term conditions, but at a primary care level. This enables patients to be efficiently managed in the community while supporting local GP services and reducing risk of admissions.
It’s an end-to-end service combining data analytics, risk stratification and care coordination along with specialist chronic care capacity for patient engagement, condition management and medicines optimisation.
This short read covers 5 reasons ICBs choose to work with us.
Our care team of prescribing pharmacists are experienced in managing multimorbidity. Overseen by our GPs, we manage entire registers to target across your footprint, with no GP supervision required from local primary care services.
This includes medication and condition review as well care plan development and prescribing any medications patients might need, with minimal task bask to local services.
We focus on early intervention to reduce risk of chronic disease. Our data analytics team works to proactively identify patients living with long-term conditions who may be currently undiagnosed.
We conduct searches, segmenting patient registers by risk, birth month and overlapping comorbidities to drive improvement. While our EMIS/SystmOne data analysts can also identify missed codes and optimise call and recall of patients.
We know patient engagement is one of the biggest obstacles to effective chronic disease management and is both time consuming and resource intensive for GP practices.
That’s why we take care of outreach, supporting patients throughout their journey in the virtual clinic. Doing so frees up capacity across your system, reduces DNAs and eases administrative burden on services. While our platform automates appointment scheduling and sequences of care for greater efficiency.
We target the triple aim of cardiovascular disease – better blood pressure control, cholesterol and diabetes management to reduce risk of long-term conditions across your footprint. By optimally managing patients in the community, we also prevent complications and unnecessary admissions.
Our approach is centred around holistic management of patients which both improves and streamlines care experiences, and reduces duplication of work that can occur with multimorbidity.
Suvera tailors workflows to your organisation and works as an extension of your team. Where demand fluctuates across your system, we also offer the capability to redeploy capacity around your footprint through the virtual clinic.
We price match to alternative recruitment options too. For example, vs the cost of one prescribing pharmacist, we offer an entire chronic care team to support your system with no operational overheads or recruitment spend for you, providing value for money.
Suvera is an exceptional clinical service to support our long-term condition registers. Most importantly, our patients are well looked after and giving great feedback on their user experience with Suvera, whilst we are achieving better than ever core performance indicator targets.”
