1 1 Action Plan Dementia diagnosis and post diagnostic support Dated: 10 th May 2018 Version: V8 Aim: To support practices to diagnose and record dementia and to improve system wide post-diagnostic support Objective: To improve the dementia diagnosis rate from 64% (March 2018) to 67% by the end of March 2019 Executive Accountability: Rebecca Hulme Clinical Lead: Dr Ardyn Ross Monitoring: Kim Harvey Key for RAGBW rating of Actions: (W)hite = Not yet started (G)reen = Completed (A)mber = In progress (R)ed = Due but not complete (B)lue = Ongoing monitoring to be assured of continued achievement ID 1. Objective: To improved data quality and understand the information to support the increase in the dementia diagnosis rate ID Action Required Responsibility Timescale RAG Updates 1.1 Validate the number of people required per GP practice to achieve the dementia diagnosis % with NHSE assurance team R Hulme 31 Aug 2017 G

2 2 1.2 Validate the prevalence data per GP R Hulme 31 Aug 2017 G practice with the NHSE assurance team 1.3 Use public health research to confirm the population and demographics per GP practice A Bagade 30 Sept 2017 G The CCG holds this information. And the practice populations have been calculated using the methodology as applied by NHS Digital 1.4 Review EMIS data BI Team 31 Jan 2018 G Cross checking of codes has 1.5 To understand the attrition rates in the following areas: - death and diagnosed with dementia - death and undiagnosed with dementia - dementia diagnosis recorded on death certificate 1.6 To write to Professor Alistair Burns about local prevalence Public Health/ K Harvey 31 July 2018 W generated a few new cases Dr A Ross 28 Feb 2018 G Response from Alistair Burns received by Dr Ross on 17 th April He confirmed that the DDR is an estimate and that the true value falls within a range as indicated by NHS Digital. NHS England have explored whether or not the apportionment of national prevalence between CCG s could be improved using additional risk factors. This it would appear did make a difference to how national prevalence was shared

3 3 1.7 Contact with Castlepoint and Rochford CCG to be initiated to support review of action plan and trajectory 1.8 Feedback on data queries highlighted at meeting on 13 th February 2018 to be given to the CCG G Munn (NHS England) G Munn (NHS England) between CCG s. However, this was not better or worse than the existing method. There was an acknowledgement that the prevalence estimates are not perfect and NHS England are exploring whether it is the time to refresh the estimates used nationally. The important of the DDR was noted but achievement of it not as important as progressing and ensuring continuous work to improve DDR s. Dementia diagnosis is the gateway to post diagnostic support. 31 Mar 2018 A This is still to be arranged. But CPR have agreed to meet with GYW. 31 Mar 2018 A Response in relation to action plan received 30 th April 2018 and feedback on the data queries is still outstanding. 2. Objective: To support GP practices in achieving the dementia diagnosis rate by the end of March To risk stratify the practices where there is opportunity for significant improvement in their dementia diagnosis rates and to enable more targeted support S Morris 30 Sept 2017 G The CCG has a list of GP practices who would benefit from targeted support in increasing their diagnosis rates.
