The advances we have made in improving life-expectancy in recent years are likely to be wiped out of the current trends for excessive drinking and unhealthy weight continue.
A boy born in the North West today might expect to live 10 years fewer than one born in the south of the country.
Eight out of the top 10 local authority areas with highest rates of harmful drinking levels in people aged 16 or over are in the North West.
Nine out of the top 20 PCTs with the highest rates of alcohol-related hospital admissions are in the North West.
There is an increasing trend of 11% per year in the rate of alcohol-related hospital admissions per 100,000 population in the region.
Mortality rates for all cancers are 40% higher than in England and Wales and the mortality rate for lung cancer is 90% higher than the national average.
Merseyside has some of the highest rates of long term conditions, and its increasing.

North West Respiratory Best Practice Award - Integrated Care Category
Name: Stanley Park
Age: 54
Diagnosis: COPD
Medical History: Generally in poor health, heavy drinker, smoker, Liverpool fan

Stanley’s wife has noticed a decline in his general health and books an appointment for Stanley to see his GP via an web enabled booking service

Stanley arrives at his GP Practice and ‘arrives’ himself via touch screen in reception

Stanley has a consultation with his GP, who views the North
Mersey COPD Pathway via the Map of Medicine. A spirometry test is carried out along with a referral to the Community
Respiratory Team. GP updates his clinical system using digital dictation / voice recognition technology

Later that evening Stanley presents at the local AED who are able to view the GP Summary record through interoperability with
System C (Acute Clinical System). This includes details of his earlier consultation and his spirometry test results. Stanley is admitted to hospital.

Stanley is given prescribed a course of antibiotics and steroids using the Trusts EPMA system. His extensive medical history is reviewed by the respiratory team, accessing all 6 volumes through the EDMS system. A range of devices are used at
Stanley’s bedside.

The electronic white board is able to flag Stanley as medically fit for discharge after a 7 day stay in hospital, and show his referral to the Community Respiratory Team is complete. On leaving,
Stanley completes his patient satisfaction survey using a tablet device / APP where he says the food is awful

CRT Team visit Stanley the following morning and are able to view the GP Summary and Stanley e-discharge via their agile working equipment.

The GP OOH Service is triggered by CRT later that month who are able to view Stanley’s patient record in Adastra and advise appropriately. Stanley remains at home with increased care from
CRT & Community Matrons. Stanley is later enrolled onto the local telehealth programme.

Telehealth equipment allows Stanley to record a series of self care values on an easy to use system, making this information available to Stanley’s care team. Should these values become alarming or drop outside of a preset range then the care team can intervene at the earliest opportunity, avoiding hospital admission and increasing Stanley’s quality of life.

“…. NMHIS are exploring how Telehealth could play an important role in delivering care for patients with long term conditions. Telehealth has the potential to create some really innovative and effective ways to provide patient care, which will be ever more important as we look towards growing future demand….”

“….in the last twelve months the shared care record has been accessed over 55,000 times across North Mersey ….”
“….community services seen a 70% reduction in time spent searching for patient information….”
“….AMU Department seen increased productivity, enabling a further two patients to be seen in a two hour clinical window….”

“…. This service has changed my life….”
