@MustBeMistry I agree 100%. The core problem is perhaps an obsession with innovation and research, not implementation and spread. It would be interested to know what the relative sums are for: (1) innovation, (2) implementation of UK-developed ideas.
I just signed the petition calling on Paula Vennells, the former CEO of the Post Office to be stripped of her CBE. Will you sign too? #MrBatesVSThePostOffice https://t.co/baD6u5bI4E via @38degrees
@alf_collins Patients are complex. We cannot sum up what matters to every patient very easily, but we must ask patients. This is why patient-centred care is vital, and must be supported by appropriate patient-reported questionnaires.
You just need to bring everyone with you, and I mean everyone. It helps a lot to use systems that are fit for purpose. Trish Greenhalgh’s NASSS framework lists lots of ways that things go wrong, but each is fixable.
Digital transformation in NHS & social care is not rocket science!
It’s harder - it’s culture change & messy relational changes on how people work and behaviour together.
@MustBeMistry To computerise social care you must use clear terms. Social workers choose words carefully, but with local dialects. We need a rigorous coding scheme. SNOMED CT is not fit for purpose, nor is anything else. Without this, we will only have free text. This is hardly progress.
@MatPearce One solvable problem is that we do not measure deprivation in clinical settings and aggregate the results. SDOH are usually measured only at community, not individual, level.
@RslewisSally We must focus on value given, not volume processed. This means measuring outcomes and experience using common measures. It also means measuring results (outputs) not just payment (inputs).
@KevinGMayfield The artificial split between clinical and non-clinical is based solely on original qualifications. I have 2 engineering degrees, but I would not trust me to design a jet engine. It is stupid.
