Objective for processing

[2 paragraphs unchanged] Invoices are submitted to the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) so the CCG is are able to ensure that the activity claimed for each patient is their responsibility. This is done by processing and analysing Secondary User Services (SUS+) and Personal Demographic (PDS) data, which is received into a secure Controlled Environment for Finance (CEfF). The SUS+ and PDS data is identifiable at the level of NHS number. The NHS number is only used to confirm the accuracy of backing-data sets (data from providers) and will not be used further. determining if the CCG is the responsible commissioner for the patient. [6 paragraphs unchanged] COMMISSIONING To use pseudonymised data to provide intelligence to support the commissioning of health services. The data (containing both clinical and financial information) is analysed so that health care provision can be planned to support the needs of the population within the CCG area. The CCGs commission services from a range of providers covering a wide array of services. Each of the data flow categories requested supports the commissioned activity of one or more providers. The following pseudonymised datasets are required to provide intelligence to support commissioning of health services: - Secondary Uses Service (SUS+) - Local Provider Flows o Acute o Ambulance o Community o Demand for Service o Diagnostic Service o Emergency Care o Experience, Quality and Outcomes o Mental Health o Other Not Elsewhere Classified o Population Data o Primary Care Services o Public Health Screening - Mental Health Minimum Data Set (MHMDS) - Mental Health Learning Disability Data Set (MHLDDS) - Mental Health Services Data Set (MHSDS) - Maternity Services Data Set (MSDS) - Improving Access to Psychological Therapy (IAPT) - Child and Young People Health Service (CYPHS) - Community Services Data Set (CSDS) - Diagnostic Imaging Data Set (DIDS) - National Cancer Waiting Times Monitoring Data Set (CWT) - Civil Registries Data (CRD) (Births) - Civil Registries Data (CRD) (Deaths) - National Diabetes Audit (NDA) - Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) The pseudonymised data is required to for the following purposes:  Population health management: • Understanding the interdependency of care services • Targeting care more effectively • Using value as the redesign principle  Data Quality and Validation – allowing data quality checks on the submitted data  Thoroughly investigating the needs of the population, to ensure the right services are available for individuals when and where they need them  Understanding cohorts of residents who are at risk of becoming users of some of the more expensive services, to better understand and manage those needs  Monitoring population health and care interactions to understand where people may slip through the net, or where the provision of care may be being duplicated  Modelling activity across all data sets to understand how services interact with each other, and to understand how changes in one service may affect flows through another  Service redesign  Health Needs Assessment – identification of underlying disease prevalence within the local population  Patient stratification and predictive modelling - to highlight patients at risk of requiring hospital admission and other avoidable factors such as risk of falls, computed using algorithms executed against linked de-identified data, and identification of future service delivery models The pseudonymised data is required to ensure that analysis of health care provision can be completed to support the needs of the health profile of the population within the CCG area based on the full analysis of multiple pseudonymised datasets. Processing for commissioning will be conducted by NHS Devon CCG and South Central and West Commissioning Support Unit

[20 paragraphs unchanged] For the purpose of Commissioning: • Patients who are normally registered and/or resident within the NHS Devon CCG (including historical activity where the patient was previously registered or resident in another commissioner). and/or • Patients treated by a provider where NHS Devon CCG is the host/co-ordinating commissioner and/or has the primary responsibility for the provider services in the local health economy – this is only for commissioning and relates to both national and local flows. and/or • Activity identified by the provider and recorded as such within national systems (such as SUS+) as for the attention of NHS Devon CCG - this is only for commissioning and relates to both national and local flows. [5 paragraphs unchanged] Stem Group and University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust do not access data held under this agreement as they only supply [19 words unchanged] agreement. This includes granting of access to the database[s] containing the data. In addition to the dissemination of Cancer Waiting Times Data via the DSCRO, the CCG is able to access reports held within the CWT system in NHS Digital directly. Access within the CCG is limited to those with a need to process the data for the purposes described in this agreement. A CCG user will be able to access the provider extracts from the portal for any provider where at least 1 patient for whom they are the registered CCG for that individuals GP practice appears in that setting Although a CCG user may have access to pseudonymised patient information not related to that CCG, users should only process and analyse data for which they have a legitimate relationship (as described within Data Minimisation).

Feedback to NHS service providers on data quality at an aggregate and individual record level – only on data initially provided by the service providers. 7. Improved planning by better understanding patient flows through the healthcare system, thus allowing commissioners to design appropriate pathways to improve patient flow and allowing commissioners to identify priorities and identify plans to address these. 8. Improved quality of services through reduced emergency readmissions, especially avoidable emergency admissions. This is achieved through mapping of frequent users of emergency services and early intervention of appropriate care. 9. Improved access to services by identifying which services may be in demand but have poor access, and from this identify areas where improvement is required. 10. Potentially reduced premature mortality by more targeted intervention in primary care, which supports the commissioner to meets its requirement to reduce premature mortality in line with the CCG Outcome Framework. 11. Better understanding of the health of and the variations in health outcomes within the population to help understand local population characteristics. 12. Better understanding of contract requirements, contract execution, and required services for management of existing contracts, and to assist with identification and planning of future contracts 13. Insights into patient outcomes, and identification of the possible efficacy of outcomes-based contracting opportunities. 14. Providing greater understanding of the underlying courses and look to commission improved supportive networks, this would be ongoing work which would be continually assessed. 15. Insight to understand the numerous factors that play a role in the outcome for both datasets. The linkage will allow the reporting both prior to, during and after the activity, to provide greater assurance on predictive outcomes and delivery of best practice. 16. Provision of indicators of health problems, and patterns of risk within the commissioning region. 17. Support of benchmarking for evaluating progress in future years.

To conduct risk stratification Secondary User Services (SUS+) data, identifiable at the level of NHS number is linked with Primary Care data (from GPs) and an algorithm is applied to produce risk scores. Risk Stratification provides focus for future demands by enabling commissioners to prepare plans for both individual and groups of vulnerable patients. Commissioners can then prepare plans for patients who may require high levels of care. Risk Stratification also enables General Practitioners (GPs) to better target intervention in Primary Care.

They have formed new partnerships-known as sustainability and transformation partnerships - to plan jointly The CCGs commission services from a range of providers covering a wide array of services. Each of the data flow categories requested supports the commissioned activity of one or more providers. for the next few years. Sustainability and transformation partnerships build on collaborative work that began under the NHS Shared Planning Guidance for 2016/17-2020/21, to support implementation of the Five Year Forward View. They are supported by six national health and care bodies: NHS England; NHS Improvement; the Care Quality Commission (CQC); Health Education England (HEE); Public Health England (PHE) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). NHS Northern Eastern and Western Devon CCG and NHS South Devon and Torbay CCG are part of the Devon Sustainable Transformation Partnership and will merge into NHS Devon CCG on the 1st April 2019. The STP is responsible for implementing large parts of the 5 year forward view from NHS England. The STP is implementing several initiatives: - Putting the patient at the heart of the health system - Working across organisational boundaries to deliver care and including social care, public Health, providers and GPs as well as CCGs - Reviewing patient pathways to improve patient experience whilst reducing costs e.g. reduce the number of standard tests a patient may have and only have the ones they need - Planning the demand and capacity across the healthcare system across the CCG to ensure we have the right buildings, services and staff to cope with demand whilst reducing the impact on costs - Working to prevent or capture conditions early as they are cheaper to treat - Introduce initiatives to change behaviours e.g. move more care into the community - Patient pathway planning for the above To ensure the patient is at the heart of care, the STP is focussing on where services are required across the geographical region. This assists to ensure delivery of care in the right place for patients who may move and change services across the CCG. Collaborative sharing is required for CCGs to understand these requirements. The CCG will use pseudonymised data to provide intelligence to support the commissioning of health services.

Target specific vulnerable patient groups and enable clinicians with the duty of care for the patient to offer appropriate interventions. 5. The CCG will be able to target specific patient groups and enable clinicians with the duty of care for the patient to offer appropriate interventions. The CCG will also be able to: 4. Reduce hospital readmissions and targeting clinical interventions to high risk patients. o Stratify populations based on: disease profiles; conditions currently being treated; current service use; pharmacy use and risk of future overall cost 5. Identify patients at risk of deterioration and providing effective care. o Plan work for commissioning services and contracts 6. Reduce in the difference in the quality of care between those with the best and worst outcomes. o Set up capitated budgets 7. Re-design care to reduce admissions. o Identify health determinants of risk of admission to hospital, or other adverse care outcomes. 8. Set up capitated budgets – budgets based on care provided to the specific population. 9. Identify health determinants of risk of admission to hospital, or other adverse care outcomes. 10. Monitor vulnerable groups of patients including but not limited to frailty, COPD, Diabetes, elderly. 11. Health needs assessments – identifying numbers of patients with specific health conditions or combination of conditions. 12. Classify vulnerable groups based on: disease profiles; conditions currently being treated; current service use; pharmacy use and risk of future overall cost. 13. Production of Theographs – a visual timeline of a patients encounters with hospital providers. 14. Analyse based on specific diseases In addition: - The risk stratification tool will provide aggregate reporting of number and percentage of population found to be at risk. - Record level output (pseudonymised) will be available for commissioners (of the CCG), pseudonymised at patient level.
