Partnership with local GPs
We create local Managed Care Organisations (MCO) that are co-owned by IHP and the GPs. This MCO contracts with the GP Consortia Commissioners to serve the healthcare needs of the MCO’s registered population to commissioner-defined outcomes.

Methods and techniques
IHP has proven that outcomes and savings can be delivered together with high patient satisfaction. We streamline processes, re-design pathways, integrate care and use IT to enable efficiencies. Please view our services and products section for more information. Our work together with GPs in surrey has delivered over £3million in gross savings by integrating care and streamlining processes.

Proven to work
Over £3 million in savings through efficiencies and coordination was delivered last year in 23 practices covering approx 180,000 patients. At the same time, patient care improved.

Case Managing
As part of monthly risk-assessment runs on all patients, IHP identified, amongst others, the following patient;
- Patient: Female, 76 yrs old, living with her husband
- Medical history (Long term conditions): Diabetes, Chronic Kidney Disease, COPD, Atrial Fibrillation, Stroke
- Taking 17 medications
Case Review
- Risk score of 54% is above our acceptable threshold
- Community Matron (CM) assigned as lead clinician
- GP and Community Matron jointly reviewed patient and a home visit was promptly arranged
- Patient had high blood glucose level. Community Matron adjusted insulin dosage and injected patient in order to avoid emergency admission
- A medication review was also deemed necessary and Community Matron visited patient together with Pharmacist
- Pharmacist, in consultation with GP reduced medication from 17 to 10, advised on dosage and administration, ensured patient understood drug regimen
- Regular contact with CM maintained above interventions - six months later, patient’s risk score has not increased and no hospital admissions have occurred

Die in their place of choice
Gold Standard Framework (GSF)
Patients identified on the Gold Standard Framework are more likely to die outside the hospital.
Consistent and targeted
Our Patient Engagement focuses on actionable prorities that we then track performance against.
We have looked at a lot of the work that has been done by a variety of large national and international patient representative organisations. Common themes have been found throughout their extensive research. Our patient group and clinicians have chosen to focus on the following three “C”s:
Our monthly meetings explore the gaps that exist in delivering the above and develop ideas aimed at filling the need gaps. We also continually evaluate ourselves on how we are delivering against the targets.

Patient Risk Score Growth
The cohort of patients with very high risk scores saw a decline in its risk score versus a control group which increased
Statistical Validation
RAPS is very comprehensively validated
2010 analysis by McKinsey and Company
Access is less well correlated
Cost significantly less
Physician-level reliability
Physician-level reliability predicts the number of responses required to achieve a desired reliability. A reliability coefficient of 0.8 is sought for ‘high stakes’ assessments although a lower reliability may be acceptable for other purposes. RAPS delivers a reliability coefficient of 0.8 with 30 responses and 0.73 with 10 responses.
