The 16 pilots have been doing a great deal of work to ensure everything is in place to enable them to complete the requirements of the national programme. They have been working on project management processes and documentation, and data collection systems to provide for the evaluation requirements.
A number of sites have already taken advantage of the project management support and coaching available to them from site support leads and the central team, with further engagement happening during June.
Site support leads have been appointed from the central team for each of the 16 sites. They will enable ongoing interaction, dialogue and support for the sites as they implement their local integrated care proposals.
The national evaluation team has also agreed on the sites that will participate in a set of ‘deep dive’ studies to further support national evaluation. This investigation will be designed to explore key issues in more detail. The ‘deep dive’ pilot sites are:
Norfolk: a site which has a population-wide focus, with a strong social care element
Principia: has a focus on one major disease area (COPD), and significant third-sector involvement
Cumbria: covers a broad range of interventions
Torbay: has a focus on elderly, with social care and third sector involvement
Nene: focuses on a key disease area (long-term conditions), and includes both ‘horizontal’ and ‘vertical’ integration
Church View: a small pilot but with broad focus and with leadership from the secondary sector (the Foundation Trust).
