As a result, Hospices are under greater pressure to find ways to do more with less. The Discovery Phase of the Future Vision Programme, by Hospice UK, starts a conversation around developing a more sustainable future. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The charity has outlined nine principles of sustainability and today, we\u2019ll be exploring the first 5!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how can hospices become more sustainable?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Integrated Care Systems for sustainability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Integrated Care Systems <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">may have a big role to play in the coming years. Helping to ensure the public and voluntary sector act together in the best interests of patients, service users and families.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many are in support of partnerships, there are also concerns for Hospice independence. It\u2019s important for Hospices to develop greater integration, in addition to keeping a Hospice\u2019s unique identity, values and high quality care. In Hospice UK\u2019s survey, 99% of respondents thought there should be either full or partial integration with the wider Integrated Care System.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for ways to explore integration, why not try\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting at the clinical service level. What services are you going to provide and by whom? Where are these services going to take place?&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build relationships with other Hospices- it\u2019s key to greater integration, while it takes time, you\u2019ll reap the benefits.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start aligning your data and reports. In order to seamless integration (further down the line) one patient record shared between all providers of a system is critical. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>Start collaborating&#8230;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through integration, it also presents the opportunity to <\/span><b>collaborate.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Covid-19 has inevitably intensified the pressure on constrained resources, and yet despite this, there&#8217;s a drive for positive change present. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why not look towards collaborating with neighbouring Hospices on service deliveries? Similarly, look towards exploring back office joint posts and funding? Each Hospice is different, so we know that not everything suggested will work best for you, but it&#8217;s best to explore your options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collaboration means you can reach out and work with a wider range of partners in the sector- you aren\u2019t limited.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Time to get technological&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a volunteer management system, we\u2019re all for talking <\/span><b>technology<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; and it\u2019s crucial for you to define your digital strategy. With the increasing demand for care, the opportunities to look digitally as an enabler to change is exciting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To succeed, as Hospice UK say, is to look from a patient-centric perspective- make sure that the leadership and governance of your digital systems is in place for fostering future innovation.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking to stakeholders Hospice UK picked on multiple themes that need to be addressed for greater digital enablement: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve patient experience and engagement. Allowing your patients to have more choice and control over their care, and how they\u2019d like to receive it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help provide integrated care- it will be easier to connect individuals to the right parts of the health system. You can strengthen the partnerships across sectors.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help decreasing the demand for palliative and end of life services driven by the UK\u2019s aging population, a growing population, and an increasing prevalence of chronic conditions and diseases (just to name a few).&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technology can also help with making systems more efficient- there\u2019ll be less time looking for information or duplicating patients.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>Influencers for sustainability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside rising demand, hospices may also be providing services to just a minority of people who need it. So, Hospices need to start reaching greater numbers of people with the limited resources they have. Stakeholders have expressed that the focus has to shift from efficient delivery of direct services to patients towards earlier system interventions and advanced care planning- to do this? <\/span><b>Influence. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hospices can use their own influence to bring additional resources in to meet the evolving demands:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Influencing the system through closer working relationships with other providers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a value in education, and adding family members\/friends to support delivery of care can help avoid crises alongside meeting a patient&#8217;s needs.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Covid-19 has sped up education through online learning and training. Hospices can use this to their advantage to promote awareness and help drive referrals to other sectors in the system.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hospices can use their unique data insight, this complemented with other systems intelligence, gives opportunity to enable a needs-based approach to the allocation of resources in future.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>Is the current funding model sustainable?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hospice UK\u2019s survey also highlighted that 83% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the current <\/span><b>funding model is unsustainable<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the long term. Most respondents went on to point towards a renegotiation of the funding offer with relevant commissioners as a high priority to ensure stable sustainability in the future. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An example of this would be End of Life Together in Nottinghamshire. The collaboration between a number of local Hospices\u2019, Trusts and Primary care providers formed a partnership to secure funding and create an integrated care model. There key services included:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One point of referral providing a triage, assessment and coordination of a person\u2019s needs.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Hospice at Home\u2019 services with community hospice beds.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Access to bereavement and carer support services.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And more! <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>To conclude&#8230;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After all that, we&#8217;re coming back with a part 2! This week we\u2019ve looked at the first 5 principles for sustainability through the Discovery Phase of the Future Vision Programme. Hopefully, you\u2019ll be gathering some ideas on how you can develop the sustainability of your Hospice, we\u2019ll be back next week for the final 4 principles- we\u2019ll see you there!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Above all, if you\u2019re interested in developing your volunteer management processes, why not start a \u00a0trial?
