This briefing outlines the learning behind integrated care systems and the impact of similar models internationally. The ICS in England is best seen as a development of the existing health and care architecture and nowhere else has quite the same mix of elements, for example: the roles of public and private provision, the primary and secondary care setup, the health and social care split and local and national government roles. However, learning comes from four models being implemented in the Unites states, where the overarching themes that have influenced thinking in the NHS are bundled finance systems, the cultural elements of integration, high quality health reporting, patient choice, and integrated medical records In Europe the impact of integrated care models, particularly Valencia, and to some extent, Gesundes Kinzigtal in Germany, are lower than average public management costs, job security for staff and greater accessibility and treatment for patients. There are also lessons that can be drawn from Japan, which offers low-cost, high-quality integrated social care through the long term care insurance system and from the four Health Maintenance Organisations in Israel and Canterbury District Health Board (DHB) in New Zealand (Edited publisher abstract)
Guidance for producing a Campbell evidence and gap map

Evidence and Gap Maps (EGMs) are a systematic evidence synthesis product which display the available evidence relevant to a specific research question. EGMs are produced following the same principles as a systematic reviews, that is: specify a PICOS, a comprehensive search, screening against explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria, and systematic coding, analysis and reporting.

This resource aims to equip newly qualified social workers with the skills and confidence to use evidence in practice. It explores what evidence is, what is required to make good evidence informed decisions, and the situations when evidence is needed. The resource will help practitioners to reflect on the types of evidence they use, which could include published research findings, people's lived experience, data, policy knowledge, or practice wisdom and experience. The tool will also be useful to anyone working in social services, students and practice educators who would like to reflect on using evidence. (Edited publisher abstract)
Self-neglect and safeguarding adult reviews: towards a model of understanding facilitators and barriers to best practice
- Author:
- PRESTON-SHOOT Michael

- Publisher:

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to update the core data set of self-neglect safeguarding adult reviews (SARs) and accompanying thematic analysis; second, to draw together the learning available from this data set of reviews to propose a model of good practice that can be used as the basis for subsequent SARs. Design/methodology/approach: Further published reviews are added to the core data set from the websites of Safeguarding Adults Boards (SABs). Thematic analysis is updated using the four domains employed previously. A sufficient number of reviews have been performed from which to construct an evidence-based model of good practice. A framework is presented with the proposition that this can be used as a proportional methodology for further SARs where self-neglect is in focus. Findings: Familiar findings emerge from the thematic analysis. This level of analysis, constructed over time and across reviews, enables a framework to be developed that pulls together the findings into a model of good practice with individuals who self-neglect and for policies and procedures with which to support those practitioners involved in such cases. This framework can then be used as an evidence-based model with which to review new cases where SARs are commissioned. Research limitations/implications: The national database of reviews commissioned by SABs is incomplete and does not contain many of the SARs reported in this evolving data set. The Care Act 2014 does not require publication of reports but only a summary of findings and recommendations in SAB annual reports. It is possible, therefore, that this data set is also incomplete. Drawing together the findings from the reviews nonetheless enables conclusions to be proposed about the components of effective practice, and effective policy and organisational arrangements for practice. Future reviews can then explore what enables such effective to be achieved and what barriers obstruct the realisation of effective practice. (Edited publisher abstract)

This short paper identifies gaps in the knowledge base related to the sexual exploitation of young people. It lists a number of issues under the broad topic areas of: the extent of child sexual exploitation; indicators and risk factors; the experiences of victim-survivors; perpetrators; interventions and practice; and trafficking. It also notes some broad gaps in the evidence base on child sexual (Edited publisher abstract)
Effects of psychosocial interventions on behavioural problems in youth: a close look at Cochrane and Campbell reviews

... are synthesised in research reviews. This study took a closer look at the evidence of efficacy for psychosocial interventions that aim to reduce behavioural problems in youth, as shown in systematic research reviews by the Cochrane and the Campbell Collaborations (n = 8). The findings suggest a bias towards overemphasising the efficacy of the interventions in several reviews, an over-confidence in the validity of the findings in some reviews and, overall, a somewhat uncertain evidence base for the efficacy of the interventions. Systematic reviews are crucial for summarising research but more attention to methodological issues may be needed in this area. (Publisher abstract)
‘What counts is what works’: NICE’s new role and approach in developing evidence-based guidelines for social care

The past 15 years have seen what has been described as a ‘post-ideological approach to public service reform’ where evidence takes centre-stage and where ‘what counts is what works’. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) embodies this ethos, using a robust methodology where evidence is systematically reviewed and guidelines with clear recommendations are developed for clinicians and public health professionals. The Health and Social Care Act 2012 extended the remit of NICE to develop guidelines for social care from April 2013, and in doing so has provoked debate within the sector on the available evidence base for social care, the quality and applicability of research and evidence, the dangers of imposing a ‘medical model’ onto social care, and the challenges or no evidence and consensus, or further expertise is required. It will also explore how recommendations are developed, the link between guidelines and professional opinion and the implementation of the guidelines on publication. (Publisher abstract)
A critical assessment of evidence-based policy and practice in social work

In this article the authors consider how effective social work has been in terms of evidence-based policies and practice. They consider the role that “evidence” plays in policy making both in the wider context and, in particular, in relation to social work. The authors argue that there are numerous voices in the policy-making process and evidence only plays a minor role in terms of policy (Publisher abstract)
