@clarkmike True. I guess I thought I’d see whether there was a broad approach in #1care (e.g. @clarercgp @amcunningham) although would …
-
@markhawker Check SCIE, TLAP, DH sources for assessment of need in social care – covered by legislation, guidance etc
-
@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.
-
@markhawker Telehealth is pilots & small programmes only in UK – will have local criteria for access to a pilot/programme. Not ‘mainstream’
-
@clarkmike Yes, see what you mean. Came about because of Bradford’s free service based on assessed need. Just wondered what that was!
-
@markhawker A lot of #telecare also provided through Housing – sheltered, supported, extra care, special schemes etc – part of whole service

@clarkmike Yes, have links there so will follow-up the question with them, too!

@uk_james #Kent_IntCare2013 Will each of 7 sub-HWBBs have JSNA, pooled funds and lead provider(s) for integrated services?

@clarkmike not quite – but looking for opportunities to pool where it makes sense #Kent_IntCare2013

#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
-
@uk_james #kent_intcare2013 Shouldn’t commissioning structure be driven by coordinated care? Care is created at interface of user/caregiver
-
@clarkmike think we’re saying same thing – #integratedcare should be created through integrated commissioning #Kent_IntCare2013
-
@uk_james #kent_intcare2013 Integrated care thru’ integrated comm not worked v well as model thus far-need to work from individual as well
-

@clarkmike Oh yes, I’ve read the other papers. It’s the logic I’m more concerned about, rather that the limitations of RCTs.
-
@markhawker The #WSD compares the TH group with the control group – the paper reports on whether difference between groups on QoL etc
-
@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.
-
@markhawker Anecdotal often suggests benefits – in trial, people not ‘sold’ the telecare/telehealth and don’t initially know group
-
@markhawker With RCTs, depends a lot on levels of ‘usual care’ with the control group, Paper says both gps had education, self-mgmt etc

@clarkmike Appreciate the trial is just that; can be difficult to reconcile with real-world experiences. There’re more papers to come?
-
@markhawker We are at paper no 5 – 15 expected in total. There were 5 evaluation themes to cover variety of issues – see protocol

@mrutter0502 @TelehealthHull Did the control group receive ‘usual care’ for the trial that was different to ‘normal care’?
-
@mrutter0502 @TelehealthHull The paper states that intervention & control gps were ‘beneficiaries of Whole Systems Redesign……’
-
@clarkmike @telehealthhull Not read the detail yet. Define “usual care” ? Massively variable delivery of services even in a single area
-
@clarkmike @telehealthhull not sure about that, my understanding was that it was more ‘bolt on’ than system redesign

@markhawker Don’t forget constraints of RCT when looking at #WSD – also, read papers alongside protocol bit.ly/YX3IXx
-
@clarkmike Oh yes, I’ve read the other papers. It’s the logic I’m more concerned about, rather that the limitations of RCTs.
-
@markhawker The #WSD compares the TH group with the control group – the paper reports on whether difference between groups on QoL etc
-
@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.
-
@markhawker Anecdotal often suggests benefits – in trial, people not ‘sold’ the telecare/telehealth and don’t initially know group
-
@markhawker With RCTs, depends a lot on levels of ‘usual care’ with the control group, Paper says both gps had education, self-mgmt etc
-
@clarkmike Appreciate the trial is just that; can be difficult to reconcile with real-world experiences. There’re more papers to come?
-
@markhawker We are at paper no 5 – 15 expected in total. There were 5 evaluation themes to cover variety of issues – see protocol
-
.@clarkmike Yes, agree. But the conclusions appear to state a ‘finding’ as the fact that telehealth doesn’t cause harm. If we draw an …
-
@markhawker We had 8 #WSD events around country during the trial – leads from the 3 sites reported how different trial was to real world

@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 …
-
@markhawker Not able to recruit existing TC/TH users into trial because of bias. Therefore had to go thru’ complex trial recruitment process
-
@clarkmike the papers as a coherent whole. Enjoyed reading the qualitative paper, some great findings!
-
@markhawker Trial recruitment for each person took several weeks – in real world, could put in TC/TH on same day
-
@clarkmike Interesting! Are these reflections in a paper somewhere? They’re really good from a practical perspective.
-
@markhawker I suspect that the ‘harm’ reference because some sources have aluded to this – came up at the recent Pulse Roundtable
-
@clarkmike Ah, I see. That makes sense with that context!
