11 Activation. Knowledge, skills and confidence to manage one s own health and healthcare Alf Collins FRCA FRCP FRCGP Clinical Associate in Person Centred Care, The Health Foundation Visiting Professor of Person Centred Care, Coventry University Penny Brohn November 17 th 2015

12 The Passive Patient Healthcare can be profoundly disempowering But most patients want to be treated as active participants as co-producers of health. With thanks to Angela Coulter

13 Co-producing health Shared decision making Working in partnership Care planning Supporting self management

14 Doctors and Patients Priorities Top goals and concerns in breast cancer decisions Keep breast Live as long as possible Look natural without clothes 0 Avoid using prosthesis Doctors Patients Sepucha et al. (2008). Pt Education and Counseling. 73:504-10

15 Day to day decision making: self management Hours with NHS / social care professional = 5-10 in a year Self management = in a year

16 Patients Goals may be Different from Clinicians Goals To better manage my pain relief so I don t wake up at night To stay in my own home as long as possible To stop taking anti-depressants because I don t like the side-effects To learn how to cook healthy meals that the whole family will enjoy To have the same person caring for me from 9am to 3pm so my parents can go to work To receive end-of-life care at the hospice close to where my sister lives Source: Coalition for Collaborative Care. Personalised care and support planning handbook. NHS England 2015

17 So The system should work in partnership with people with LTCs in order to support them to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to manage their own health and healthcare

19 Measures of knowledge, skills and confidence Unidimensional Patient Activation Measure (PAM). 13 items Multidimensional Health Literacy Survey for Europe Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q). 47 items. Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ). 44 items Health Education Impact Questionnaire (heiq). 42 items

20 All are stable and reliable with high construct and face validity Questions: Practical utility and predictive validity

21 Patient Activation Measure Unidimensional (ie measures a single concept) Developmental (ie appropriate interventions can support people to progress on a journey of activation) Knowledge, skills and confidence to self manage 13 items, 4 levels Score out of 100

22

23 PAM Scale Source: J.Hibbard, University of Oregon

24 A developmental scale

25 35-45% of population are at activation level 1 or % of population 10-15% of population

26 People at low levels of activation tend to: Feel overwhelmed with the task of managing their health Have low confidence in their ability to have a positive impact on their health Not understand their role in care processes Have limited problem solving skills Have had a great deal of experience with failure in trying to manage, and have become passive with regard to their health Say they would rather not think about their health

27 People at higher levels of activation tend to: Be engaged Come prepared Ask questions Make decisions Have less unmet needs (nb inequalities) Have improved clinical outcomes (including mental health) Enjoy an improved quality of life Use less healthcare resource Feel satisfied at work Why Does Patient Activation Matter? An Examination of the Relationships Between Patient Activation and Health-Related Outcomes. Jessica Greene and Judith H. Hibbard Journal of General Internal Medicine, published online Nov. 30, 2011

28 Self care behaviours and activation 1 USA National sample 2008

29 Self care behaviours and activation 2

30 Encounters with clinicians and activation

31 Emotional health and activation US Knowledge Networks 2008

32

33 Activation as a primary mediator of other outcomes Clinical outcomes, including mental health Improved QOL, wellbeing Higher rate of retention at work Activation More independent Feeling in control Lower utilisation of health and social care resource

34 Patients can be supported on a journey of activation

35 Patients can be supported on a journey of activation by offering tailored interventions: 1:1 or group coaching Thus tailored interventions improve all other downstream indicators

36 Tailored health coaching

37 People at lowest levels of activation gain the most from tailored interventions An evaluation of a self management programme for patients with LTCs. Turner A et al. Patient Education and Counseling 10/2014; 98(2). DOI: /j.pec

38 People at activation level 4 cost 31% less than people at level 1

39 Activation and utility across the system Segmentation Target resources Use resources more effectively Tailored coaching Start where people are Personalise support Programme assessment Quality assure interventions Improve quality of interventions Predictive modelling More sophisticated understanding of drivers of risk

40 The national learning set: using the concept and the PAM at scale

41 5 CCGs plus renal registry. 150,000 licences over 2 years Learning plus rigorous evaluation Pragmatics Face validity Coaching for activation Collaborative care and support planning Understanding population health and reducing inequalities

42 New Horizons Possibility that more licences will become available in line with the aspirations of the 5YFV: Empowering patients (chapter 2) we will do more to support people to manage their own health staying healthy, making informed choices of treatment, managing conditions and avoiding complications.

43 Questions and challenges remain Concept or measure or both? English translation and validity PAM as an outcome? Personal outcomes Social model of health The licencing issue..

46 The Penny Brohn Whole Person Approach A model of patient activation in the cancer setting

47 Kings Fund Report 2014 Hibbard & Gilburt: Supporting people to manage their health Patient Activation is when patients obtain the: Knowledge Skills Confidence Motivation they need to become a more active partner in their own health creation and maintenance (and results may reach beyond health in the narrowest sense)

48 Cancer is not a condition where much conscious patient activation has traditionally taken place Cancer is seen as a life-threatening illness needing specialist high-tech intervention A cancer diagnosis is often a DEACTIVATING event

49 False Hope vs False Hopelessness

50 The Penny Brohn Whole Person Model In 1987 Penny wrote If we shift the responsibility for health so that it is no longer exclusively in the doctor s hands, but allow the patient to play a part as well, we go a long way towards relieving feelings of helplessness and futility.

57 Interventions which increase activation: are adjusted to initial activation level But Activation levels are affected by cancer & cancer treatment

85 we are all different with different needs, people these days want to be able to dip in and out as they need to from a variety of sources Macmillan, Penny Brohn Cancer Care and others Hull patients don t want to be reminded they have got cancer, people find it difficult to talk about it to others. In Hull there is lots of deprivation the healthy eating message gets lost You re on your own mate Not everyone wants to sit in a group they want to use the internet more at a time that is convenient to them, download things Services need to be tailored to the local area Some people won t be interested. HCP s are key, if they could give information to cancer patients on diagnosis people could then chose whether or not to look at what you have to offer. A high percentage of Hull residents would not readily access courses and self-help groups, I know we struggle Preparing to return to work was a difficult time when I needed extra support and my GP seemed to be struggling to support me and provide answers. Shorter, modular events on a rotational basis offering people more flexibility and choice

86 Hull Demographics Cancer Statistics (reviewed ) Incidence: per 100,000 people each year v England average One Year Cancer Survival: 66.1% v England average 69.3% Mortality: per 100,000 people v England average 172 Kingston Upon Hull Health Profile 2015 (based on population of 287,000 mid 2013) Health in summary: health generally worse than England average; life expectancy is lower than average; deprivation is higher than average % (15,800) children live in poverty. Adult health key issues: obesity 28.4%; alcohol related harm; self harm; smoking related deaths; levels of smoking and physical activity worse than England average Local health priorities: The best start in life. Healthier, longer, happy lives. Safe and independent lives. Data from: National Cancer Intelligence Network NCIN Cancer E-Atlas & Public Health England: Health Profile Hull June 2015

87 More than 4 in 10 cases of cancer could be prevented by lifestyle changes such as: Not smoking Keeping a healthy body weight Eating a healthy balanced diet Keeping active Cutting back on alcohol Staying safe in the sun Given the high incidence rates (in Hull) more could be done to ensure that more people are aware of the risk factors.

89 Our shared passion What we wanted to create flexible, person-centred services Designed to engage, inspire and stimulate patient activation over the long term To create a bridge between Primary and Secondary Care Available at anytime diagnosis, during treatment, post treatment, living with and beyond cancer including Palliative & EOL

90 Recognising diverse local needs

91 Our self-care menu

92 Engagement Encouraging clinicians to: Discuss their patient s self-care needs including - understanding, confidence, skill and motivational levels To establish informally their patient s current activation level Be an unprejudiced co-creator to facilitate a personcentred, informed choice about services(s) to access Establish an agreeable starting point Go back to the conversation during each appointment how have they got on? Agree next steps to optimise long term health outcomes

94 Challenges Gatekeeping, control, competition It s my patient. We ve got it covered, our patients don t need any additional services. Engaging with GP s Not enough time during clinical appointments to discuss selfcare Health and social care budget cuts Pathways, partnerships and planned solutions can be exclusive rather than inclusive Accessing up to date services information and data is an ongoing challenge One size really doesn t fit all

106 Having been a member of a couple of cancer support groups, I've noticed that PB community focusses on what we can do to support ourselves in positive holistic ways, as a result I find this group empowering, and inspiring, whilst I've come away from other groups feeling more helpless and depleted than I did before attending. Support groups are often extremely helpful in sharing some of the experiences of a cancer diagnosis, but the quality and focus of the support can also impact hugely on your ability to survive and thrive both during and after treatment. Thank you Penny Brohn for being a great model for an empowering and positive support group. Anna Buckley

120 Service Evaluation Hull & East Riding

121 Living Well PAM data Results are based on data from 66 clients; this is the number of clients who have provided both pre- and post-course PAM data to date PAM data can be presented as a level (1-4) of activation or as a score out of 100. Pre course mean score out of 100 = 57.8 Post course mean score out of 100 = 61.2 This improvement is statistically significant (p=.014)

122 Living Well PAM data An increase of 4 points or more is considered meaningful, as this increase has been linked to an improvement in self-management behaviours. Mean individual score change = % had a meaningful improvement in their PAM score after the LW course The biggest improvements were seen in the clients who had the lowest levels of activation before the course.

123 Service Evaluation Hull & East Riding Future evaluation Introduce Patient Activation Measure for IWPAs running in Kirklees from November 2015 Find out if IWPAs are attracting people with lower levels of activation Follow people up after 8 weeks to see if activation improves
