  10. @clarkmike True. I guess I thought I’d see whether there was a broad approach in #1care (e.g. @clarercgp @amcunningham) although would …
  11. @markhawker Check SCIE, TLAP, DH sources for assessment of need in social care – covered by legislation, guidance etc
  12. @clarkmike be more part of LAs, as you say. It’s on my list of things to ask. Little (academic) things on it, probably more in real-world.
  13. @markhawker Telehealth is pilots & small programmes only in UK – will have local criteria for access to a pilot/programme. Not ‘mainstream’
  14. @clarkmike Yes, see what you mean. Came about because of Bradford’s free service based on assessed need. Just wondered what that was!
  15. @markhawker A lot of #telecare also provided through Housing – sheltered, supported, extra care, special schemes etc – part of whole service
  16. @clarkmike Yes, have links there so will follow-up the question with them, too!

  8. .@clarkmike no, but 4 CCGs in E Kent working together as a federation, with @Kent_cc @KentSocialCare #Kent_IntCare2013
  9. @uk_james @Kent_cc @KentSocialCare So, one CCG in East will work as lead commissioner with 3 separate CCGs in West for integrated working?
  10. @uk_james @Kent_cc @KentSocialCare Are 4 CCGs in East Kent pooling money with social care for integrated working/lead commissioning?

  14. @clarkmike will need to see how picture emerges, early days for CCGs. There is a N Kent Alliance – Swale, DGS and Medway #Kent_IntCare2013
  15. .@clarkmike there is one Kent HWBB – with 7 sub-committees – local HWBBs developing. Includes district councils too #Kent_IntCare2013
  16. @uk_james #Kent_IntCare2013 Will each of 7 sub-HWBBs have JSNA, pooled funds and lead provider(s) for integrated services?
  17. @clarkmike not quite – but looking for opportunities to pool where it makes sense #Kent_IntCare2013

  24. @clarkmike £ being identified across stat orgs at CCG boundary level – work in progress at moment to identify #Kent_IntCare2013
  25. Important to include #socialcare early with NHS metrics in @NHSCB #NHSCB@tkelsey1 – transparent & widely available on multiple platforms
  26. #Kent_IntCare2013 Is it clear how 4 1 1 1 CCGs will do better at establishing future integrated services with less £ than 2 PCTs? @uk_james
  27. @uk_james #kent_intcare2013 Shouldn’t commissioning structure be driven by coordinated care? Care is created at interface of user/caregiver
  28. @clarkmike think we’re saying same thing – #integratedcare should be created through integrated commissioning #Kent_IntCare2013
  29. @uk_james #kent_intcare2013 Integrated care thru’ integrated comm not worked v well as model thus far-need to work from individual as well
  30. @uk_james #Kent_IntCare2013 From tweets so far, difficult to see how Kent will get to integrated commissioning/care – is there a roadmap?

  38. @clarkmike Oh yes, I’ve read the other papers. It’s the logic I’m more concerned about, rather that the limitations of RCTs.
  39. @markhawker The #WSD compares the TH group with the control group – the paper reports on whether difference between groups on QoL etc
  40. @clarkmike Will have to explore fully. I just couldn’t make out the conclusion as didn’t seem to follow from anything they actually did.
  41. @markhawker Anecdotal often suggests benefits – in trial, people not ‘sold’ the telecare/telehealth and don’t initially know group
  42. @markhawker With RCTs, depends a lot on levels of ‘usual care’ with the control group, Paper says both gps had education, self-mgmt etc

  50. @clarkmike the papers as a coherent whole. Enjoyed reading the qualitative paper, some great findings!
  51. @markhawker Trial recruitment for each person took several weeks – in real world, could put in TC/TH on same day
  52. @clarkmike Interesting! Are these reflections in a paper somewhere? They’re really good from a practical perspective.
  53. @markhawker I suspect that the ‘harm’ reference because some sources have aluded to this – came up at the recent Pulse Roundtable
  54. @clarkmike Grand. Will see if I have access tomorrow! Thanks, Mike.
  55. @markhawker We had lots of coverage from WSDAN events through the trial – DH archived a lot – some coverage in my old TelecareLIN n’letters

  35. @patientopinion @shirleyayres @DGFoord @NHSwhistleblowr Yes, good idea – we need to know about and celebrate successes from pledges made
  36. @patientopinion @shirleyayres @DGFoord @NHSwhistleblowr Would be great to see analysis of how people have made a difference & in what areas
  37. @clarkmike There are def two doing rounds, suspect official one set by non-twitter user, short by crowd @anniecoops @NHSExpo @MilesAyling
  38. @clarkmike Hi we registered both but a decision was made to use #NHSInnovationExpo2013. Don’t worry they are both ours!
  39. @NHSExpo @clarkmike no one tweeting will use long one takes up too much time/space @GeorgeJulian
  40. @anniecoops @NHSExpo @clarkmike Having two doesn’t help your cause, surely you want everyone sharing in one conversation?
  41. @anniecoops @NHSExpo @GeorgeJulian Will be very difficult to broadcast, analyse, converse and spread consistent messages with 2 hashtags
  42. @clarkmike it certainly will me Clark! If I do get there we should have coffee 🙂

  45. @clarkmike lol 🙂 if I get there will tweet you 🙂
  46. @dlschermd You get a mention in the latest monthly UK newsletter at bit.ly/Y12xbv – thanks for the great recent articles
  47. @markhawker Don’t forget constraints of RCT when looking at #WSD – also, read papers alongside protocol bit.ly/YX3IXx
  48. @clarkmike Oh yes, I’ve read the other papers. It’s the logic I’m more concerned about, rather that the limitations of RCTs.
  49. @markhawker The #WSD compares the TH group with the control group – the paper reports on whether difference between groups on QoL etc
  50. @clarkmike Will have to explore fully. I just couldn’t make out the conclusion as didn’t seem to follow from anything they actually did.
  51. @markhawker Anecdotal often suggests benefits – in trial, people not ‘sold’ the telecare/telehealth and don’t initially know group
  52. @markhawker With RCTs, depends a lot on levels of ‘usual care’ with the control group, Paper says both gps had education, self-mgmt etc
  53. @clarkmike Appreciate the trial is just that; can be difficult to reconcile with real-world experiences. There’re more papers to come?
  54. @markhawker We are at paper no 5 – 15 expected in total. There were 5 evaluation themes to cover variety of issues – see protocol
  55. .@clarkmike Yes, agree. But the conclusions appear to state a ‘finding’ as the fact that telehealth doesn’t cause harm. If we draw an …
  56. @markhawker We had 8 #WSD events around country during the trial – leads from the 3 sites reported how different trial was to real world
  57. .@clarkmike analogy to raincoats it’s like saying they don’t keep people dry, they don’t have a hood, but at least they’re not bright green.
  58. @clarkmike I’m not calling the #WSD, at all, it’s just the presentation of finding could be a little better. Though, have to take all of …
  59. @markhawker Not able to recruit existing TC/TH users into trial because of bias. Therefore had to go thru’ complex trial recruitment process
  60. @clarkmike the papers as a coherent whole. Enjoyed reading the qualitative paper, some great findings!
  61. @markhawker Trial recruitment for each person took several weeks – in real world, could put in TC/TH on same day
  62. @clarkmike Interesting! Are these reflections in a paper somewhere? They’re really good from a practical perspective.
  63. @markhawker I suspect that the ‘harm’ reference because some sources have aluded to this – came up at the recent Pulse Roundtable
  64. @clarkmike Grand. Will see if I have access tomorrow! Thanks, Mike.
  65. @markhawker We had lots of coverage from WSDAN events through the trial – DH archived a lot – some coverage in my old TelecareLIN n’letters
  66. @markhawker Go back to this page telecarelin.org.uk/News/?pa… and work through 2008-2010/11. I can probably fill in gaps, find presentations etc
  67. @markhawker Don’t forget, also looked at sites not in trial (incl Barnsley, Hull) bit.ly/TT3srs
  68. @markhawker Is alarm smoke, telecare? – Researchers decided on protocol – there was a TC/TH group – removed from protocol (group size)

  8. @markhawker Some people do not put the hashtag in front of telecare – I see several entries without it
  9. @clarkmike I think the tweet was more rhetorical than realistic. Have browsed with and without plus a few variations.
  10. @markhawker Telecare defined in Preventative Technology Grant (2005) so heavily used in England. Scotland also use ‘telehealthcare’
  11. @clarkmike You’re right! Many definitions, too. Quite an interesting history.
  12. @markhawker Google search would give more coverage. Remember also few providers allow their staff to tweet
