This independent report provides an overview of the progress made on the evaluation of the Department of Health Integrated Care Pilots (ICPs). The programme of ICPs is a two-year DH initiative that aims to explore different ways of providing integrated care to help drive improvements in care and wellbeing. This report provides information about the evaluation activities conducted, the data collected, and the analyses completed thus far. It outlines the evaluation and reflects on the development of the ICP programme to date. It notes that each ICP is deeply influenced by the personal journeys of its leaders, the inter-institutional histories of the partners, local geographical, social and economic circumstances and the evolving national policy context. In every ICP there were examples of professionals collaborating well and the willingness to find integrated solutions was apparent.

Demands on health and social care are changing in scope and scale as the population ages, new treatments become available, and public expectations change. Improving interventions through integrated care has been identified as one way of effectively addressing these changing needs. The Department of Health established a 2-year programme of Integrated Care Pilots (ICP) that aimed to explore different ways of providing health and social care services to drive improvements in care and wellbeing. A total of 16 initiatives across England were selected to participate in the DH ICP programme. This document provides the appendices for the final report of the evaluation of the 16 ICPs, which is published as a separate document. It includes the following appendices: A Study protocol; B Quantitative methods; C Patient-service user questionnaire; D Staff questionnaire; E Template for collecting cost data from sites; F Summary of local metrics; G Overview of Integrated care pilot sites; H Detailed results of patient and staff surveys; and I Site costs.

Demands on health and social care are changing in scope and scale as the population ages, new treatments become available, and public expectations change. Improving interventions through integrated care has been identified as one way of effectively addressing these changing needs. The Department of Health established a 2-year programme of Integrated Care Pilots (ICP) that aimed to explore different ways of providing health and social care services to drive improvements in care and wellbeing. A total of 16 initiatives across England were selected to participate in the DH ICP programme. This document is the abbreviated version of a longer final output of an evaluation of the 16 ICPs. It provides a summary of the evaluation activities conducted, the data collected and the analyses completed. The key messages resulting from the evaluation are: integrated care comes in many shapes and sizes; staff reported improvements in care, most of which were process-related; patients did not appear to share the sense of improvement; and that it is possible to reduce utilisation and associated costs of hospital care, but it seems to be very hard to reduce emergency admissions. Overall, the report concludes that, if tailored to local circumstances, well-led and well-managed integration can improve the quality of care for patients.

It provides an account of the evaluation activities conducted, the data collected and the analyses completed. It has been prepared in collaboration with the University of Cambridge.
