If yes, state the Committee / Meeting: Yes. A version of this paper has been to FPCC Executive Summary Background The GPIT Operating model specifies what the GPIT funding, allocated to CCGs, should be spent on and specifies that core and mandated GP IT services must be the first call on this revenue funding. In the previous GPIT Operating model, data quality was not a core and mandated service and subsequently it was not procured by the CCG. The GPIT Operating model was updated for i (implemented April 2017), which now states data quality is a core and mandated service, and therefore CCGs should procure it on behalf of their GP Practices. Data Quality Service The data quality service includes the following elements: - Comprehensive data quality advice and guidance service available to all GPs, including training in data quality, clinical coding and information management skills. - Development and delivery of a general practice data quality improvement plan, where necessary. The service should include support for: - National data audits/extracts/reporting eg National Diabetes Audit - General reporting - Template development/qa - Spreading best practice - Data migrations as part of system deployments - National system deployments for example. GP2GP, - SCR, CAB/e-RS, EPS - Clinical/medical terminology Solution from embed embed have put together a service specification for a data quality service, based on the requirements of the GPIT Operating model. The offering is split into 5 different areas to include all aspects of data quality, including the following key areas; 1

2 - Data quality support, including 2 visits per practice annually - Date quality training in all elements/areas - Development, creation, sharing and amending of templates - Writing and testing of clinical system reports - Providing a hazard review process for clinical templates This additional service will cost 30k per annum based on the assumption that S&R CCG and VoY CCG also procure the service from embed. S&R CCG have already taken this investment through their relevant committees and approved was granted. VoY CCG are currently taking this investment through their relevant committees and at the time of writing this paper no decision had been made. 1 Please see separate Appendix A for the full proposal from embed.

7 1. Executive Summary embed Health Consortium would like to thank Harrogate and Rural District CCG for the opportunity to provide this proposal of services for the development of a primary care data quality improvement plan, quality training and provision of data recording advice and support. embed is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Kier Group, a FTSE 250 company with revenues in 2016 of 4.2b. Employing over 21,000 employees, Kier has delivered over 1bn of NHS healthcare development projects in the last decade and provides localised expertise from its network of offices across the UK, including locations in Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield, Hull and York. Currently embed is delivering services which include ICT, business intelligence, and a range of supporting back office corporate and business solutions to the 23 Yorkshire and Humber clinical commissioning groups under the NHS England Lead Provider Framework. Despite the size and complexity of this contract, embed successfully mobilised the contract very quickly by seamlessly transferring services and staff whilst continuing to provide the existing service with minimal disruption. Our approach to mobilisation was based on three core principles: minimal change to the current service minimise disruption through stabilising the service key stakeholder and staff focused This method of approach underpins the standard practices for delivery that we operate within and as such Harrogate and Rural District CCG can be assured that embed will mobilise and operate this new service requirement to the 19 GP Practices within the region, effectively whilst deploying industry leading methodology. In appointing embed as the service provider for data quality service, Harrogate and Rural CCG will benefit from our evolving transformational working practices which harness specialist hubs of industry experts, that will be deployed to provide you with an immensely wide breadth and depth of skills and expertise. Our scale means that we provide an agile, skilled workforce that can deliver business support services cost-effectively, these having been fine-tuned through our work experience with clients across our footprint. Our proposition is based on a 24 month contract of service with effect from 1 st April 2018 (this aligns with the existing contractual term in place for support services). We trust that you will find this proposal meets with your requirements for data services and we welcome any questions that you may have arising from this document.

8 2. Project Background NHS England has released a new GPIT Operating Model This builds on the GPIT Operating model and details key changes namely, additional core services. The new operating model has four levels of service defined: Core & Mandated GPIT - business as usual, getting the basics right - every member of general practice staff must have reliable, responsive and efficient IT systems, associated support services and equipment. Enhanced Primary Care IT - focused on improving efficiency and effectiveness, innovative and effective approaches that will better support changes in the delivery of primary care services, including 7 day and extended hours working and at scale models. Transformational Primary Care IT - new or additional infrastructure that will enable integration of health and care and delivery of new and innovative healthcare models, where multiple organisations across care settings are working with general practice to share patient care. General practice business support systems - these are the systems which are associated with the running of the Practice business and are not directly connected to patient care and should be funded by the Practice. The embed Service Delivery Management team attended a meeting with the CCGs the objectives being to: Understand what has changed in Core & Mandated GPIT service provision (assuming CCGs wish to commission new services from April 1st 2017) Understand the funding model as defined by NHSE Outline implications to IT service and CCG in delivering the new model The GPIT Operating Model NHS England holds accountability and provides funding CCGs commission GPIT service and drive integrated care Commissioned by CCG provided by service delivery organisations Template: KTG-PM-FR-008 Page 5 of 13

9 Key Funding Principles NHSE will continue to provide national funding as part of CCG baseline allocations Investment of enhanced and transformational services must be CCG led From 2016/17, GPIT revenue monies will be distributed directly to CCGs to manage locally, through CCG baseline allocations The first call on GPIT revenue funding locally is the provision of core and mandated GPIT services In order to ensure that NHS England and CCGs comply with accounting policy, revenue allocations are being considered instead of capital for GPIT infrastructure requirements. In recognition of the cost pressures in commissioning Primary Care IT Enabling Services (PCES) an additional in year allocation of 1.4m was made in 2029/16, specifically targeted at enhancing IG support arrangements. Funding provision for 2016/17, allocated to Regional Teams for the direct commissioning of these services, has been uplifted to 11m (full year effect). embed is pleased to confirm its ability to deliver to Harrogate and Rural District CCG data quality services which are fully compliant and to specification. Our highly experienced senior leadership team will oversee the delivery of our services; and a team of experienced data quality product specialists will deliver them. With our excellent track record of working alongside the 23 Yorkshire & Humber CCGs and our significant and scaled experience in data quality services, Harrogate and Rural District CCG can be confident of our capability to quickly mobilise our service provision and detailed further within this document is our approach, deliverables and timescales.

10 3. Project Objectives The project objective is for the CCG to commission primary care data quality services to support primary care GP practices and services by: Making best use of their clinical systems Providing support to primary care users to ensure that the recording and use of clinical data is in line with the NHS Information Standard Expert resourcing for core primary and integrated care clinical systems Provision of Clinical tools, templates, data sets and reporting support for clinical and commissioning planning, review and decision making Supporting the delivery of consistent, comparable and secure clinical, professional and organisational data in relation to primary care and provided services Providing information for CCG Clinical Governance and performance monitoring Providing Clinical Commissioning and professional data sets, templates, data extraction and query sets, assurance and compliance Within the Harrogate and Rural CCG region there are 17 GP Practices. embed is able to propose a schedule of service planning over a period of 13 weeks. During this time we will manage the recruitment process to appoint additional new talent to our existing team of data quality specialists. If the CCG is in a position to sign off this proposal with agreement to proceed by 31 st December 2017 then embed will mobilise service provision with effect from 1 st April 2018 approval to proceed sign off at any date following this will move the go live date respectively. We are committed to supporting you to deliver efficiencies and improvements in data quality services. embed has the ability to add value which could not be delivered by an in-house service. We are a successful and experienced commissioning support organisation, already in partnership with the Yorkshire & Humber CCGs and as such this scale of service delivery enables us to provide you with access to a range of specialist expertise as well as real insights and learnings. embed is proposing the supply of data quality services from 1 st April 2018 for a period of 24 months until March 2020 this aligns with the existing contractual term in place for support services. Template: KTG-PM-FR-008 Page 7 of 13

11 4. Scope Our approach to the scoping phase of the requirements will be to verify and detail every aspect of the services that will be delivered to ensure that the mobilisation plan is robust and to ensure that no services are omitted, duplicated or adversely impacted. This phase of due diligence is designed to fully determine the size, scale and scope of the mobilisation required, identifying all risks and issues with the services, whether perceived or real; so that they can be effectively managed and mitigated. Should these reviews highlight any additional remediation work to be undertaken to facilitate mobilisation this will be captured and discussed in detail with the appropriate party. 5. Approach The project will be started, planned, delivered and closed in accordance with PRINCE2 based methodology. The Project Manager will be responsible for developing and delivering against a project plan, risk/issues register, communication/engagement plan and benefits plan. These project documents will be regularly reviewed by the Project Manager and any slippage, requests for change and/or corrective measures required will be reported to the Senior Responsible Owner (SRO)/Sponsor and, if required, escalated to the Project Board for approval. The Project Manager will provide a regular progress report to the Project Board and other governance bodies at regular intervals to be agreed; arranging meetings, as required, to support planning and engagement activities. The SRO will be responsible for monitoring progress on the project and (with the Sponsor) for approving changes outside the agreed project plan, scope, quality and/or tolerance. embed recommends the implementation of our three stage model: Stage 1 Discovery Establish Project Governance and agree PID. Stage 2 Specification Planning Define and Plan Stakeholder engagement, key communications and mobilisation activities. Stage 3 Solution Implementation Commence service mobilisation which will include dependencies, critical path and interfaces with all stakeholders and all activities necessary to satisfy service readiness. A Project Management Office will oversee all activities during the Mobilisation period providing robust and well tested processes and providing the necessary assurances allowing the CCG to deliver its statutory responsibilities.
