Care coordination: translating policy into practice for older people

The findings from research on the implementation of Unified Assessment (UA) policy and the work of care coordinators who oversee the delivery of support to older people with complex needs are presented. The research used a mixed methods approach that included staff interviews (n=95) and focus groups (n=3) spanning eight local authority areas; one in North, Mid and South Wales. The care coordinator role is controversial and the lack of common terminology across health and social care obscures its importance. It is seen as a social care responsibility. Limited ownership amongst healthcare professionals leads to tensions in practice. The challenges of breaking down silo thinking embedded in established professional practices are highlighted as are infrastructural and capacity deficits. Disparities between policy intentions and practice means that UA is failing to meet core objectives relating to the delivery of seamless support. Practice implications identified are that practice development may be supported by: guidelines that are more prescriptive and include a formal role definition; joint training to promote shared understanding of key concepts; investment in administrative and IT infrastructures; and more coordinated direction at strategic level.

The Welsh Government has set out its requirements for integrated health and social care in ‘A framework for delivering integrated health and social care for older people with complex needs’ (2013). This guidance sets out a process for delivering integrated assessment processes, and is a key part of implementing the overall framework. It replaces the Unified Assessment Process (UAP) in its application to people aged 65 years and over. It covers the duties and functions of local authorities and Local Health Boards (LHBs) to promote the well-being, assessment, care and support planning and review arrangements for services for people aged 65 and over. This is irrespective of presenting need, disability or condition and supports access to care and support in the community. This guidance is to apply in any situation where older people need help from the NHS or a local authority to: maintain or promote well-being; regain or maintain independence; be discharged from hospital; return or continue to live in their own home; secure appropriate residential or nursing care; help protect them from abuse and neglect; and help them manage continuing health conditions. The guidance also covers sharing information and issues such as fair access to care services eligibility criteria. (Edited publisher abstract)

The need for more holistic and inclusive approaches to assessment and care management for older people is widely promoted but difficult to achieve. This paper describes the All Together Now initiative in Swansea, South Wales, which seeks to promote better practice in assessment and care management by actively involving all stakeholders, older people and family carers, and practitioners and service providers from across the statutory and third sectors. The project is underpinned by a relationship-centred approach based on the belief that an enriched environment of care will only be created when the needs of all stakeholders are acknowledged and given attention. How such a model was used to establish the goals for the project is described, together with the proposed model of evaluation.
