DESIGNED TO TACKLE RENAL DISEASE IN WALES DRAFT 2 nd STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK for 2008-11 1. Aims, Outcomes and Outputs The National Service Framework Designed to Tackle Renal Disease in Wales sets standards of care for people at risk of or who have renal disease. The table below captures the formal aims of the NSF. The second column states the desired long term outcomes which are measurable and the third column sets out the key outputs needed in order to achieve the outcomes. AIM OUTCOME MEASURE OUTPUTS REQUIRED to achieve this outcome Demonstrable approaches to collaborative Renal Advisory Group and Renal Networks working working between National and local bodies collaboratively on the planning and delivery of services involved in planning and delivering renal care including evidence of patient and carer Renal services being delivered across Wales on an involvement integrated and responsive basis Care for All An integrated system of patient care across all levels of the service and involving patients at every step of the way Service providers working with Renal Networks to identify and agree investment of renal resources Use of current and any additional resources for renal services determined by the Renal Networks Representation and involvement from all those with an interest in renal care on the groups planning and delivering renal services. Costed plans for renal care agreed on a National Basis but which reflect local requirements 1
Prevent Renal Disease Reducing the rate of renal disease through primary prevention Improve detection of renal disease Ensuring that where renal disease does occur that it is identified at an early stage Reduce the progression of renal disease Proactive action taken to delay its progression Improve survival rates maximise quality life Achieve and sustain the best quality of life and survival rates for all people receiving renal replacement therapy in Wales Comparable incidence rates of CHD and diabetes with the lowest world quartile by 2015 Achievement of comparable population prevalence of renal disease to the highest European quartile by 2015 Achievement of comparable rates of decline in egfr to the lowest European quartile by 2015. Achievement of comparable mortality rates for all patients receiving renal replacement therapy comparable with the best survival rate achieved in Europe by 2015 Improved lifestyles, i.e. improved diet, increased exercise, reduced alcohol intake and smoking Effective management of those at risk in primary care, i.e. disease registers, management of blood pressure, cholesterol levels, referral as appropriate to smoking cessation services, alcohol services, walking for health schemes, exercise referral schemes, and any other relevant local lifestyle initiatives Locally adoption of the CKD early detection and management pathway developed by the Renal Advisory Group Reduced progression by appropriate interventions and early management of patients with renal impairment in line with patient pathways and protocols set by the Renal Advisory Group and Renal Networks Effectively planned renal services Optimal treatment for all prevalent haemodialysis patients delivered based on the agreed indicators All patients able to access dialysis services sufficiently to ensure optimal care as close to home as possible Peritoneal Dialysis for all patients for whom it is 2
clinically appropriate and who choose it Home haemodialysis for all patients for whom it is clinically appropriate and who choose it All opportunities for kidney transplants maximised for all patients for whom it is clinically appropriate and who choose it 100% of potential non-heart beating kidney donors considered for donation and the outcome documented All patients cared for by Renal Multidisciplinary Teams in accordance with national workforce planning recommendations and based on the all Wales Renal Competency Framework. All patients routinely receive information relating to key interventions along the patient pathway that is clear and meets their needs in terms of their linguistic, cultural and educational background. All renal patients have in place education programmes which empower them to become active partners in the management of their condition Local adoption of the NSF standards for conservative management for CKD, in line with the Renal Advisory Group s emerging pathway guidance. The All Wales Care Pathway for the Last Days of Life is routinely being delivered 3
2. Delivering the Required Outputs This section sets out a programme of work from April 2008 to March 2011 for each of the formal NSF aims. The key actions in the tables below are designed to direct and guide activity across Wales to meet the NSF Designed to Tackle Renal Disease in Wales standards published in April 2007. They also serve to underpin the Health Care Standards for Wales (2005) and play a vital role in supporting local improvements in service quality and healthcare organisation. Aim: Care for all Key Action Required By Whom By When (end of) 1.1(a) Plan renal services effectively through collaboration and sharing of best practice at both local and national levels. Renal Advisory Group and Networks through the Renal Strategy Forum 1.1(b) Further develop the Renal Strategy Forum to enhance integrated working between the Renal Advisory Group and the Renal Networks. Renal Advisory Group and Networks through the Renal Strategy Forum 1.2 Seek Network endorsement to all proposed renal service developments, including new and replacement senior staff appointments, where membership of a renal team/s is identified in the job plan. The intention of this requirement is to bring about consideration of such service developments on a wider geographical planning basis which in turn will help strengthen the role of the Network 1.3 Develop and implement long term costed delivery plans for renal services HCW, LHBs and Trusts Develop: Renal Networks, Implement: HCW and LHBs through the Renal Networks Immediately March 2009 From April 2009 1.4 (a) Cary out a resource mapping exercise to Renal Networks with all stakeholders April 2009 4

Evidence of which is also to be used to underpin compliance with the Healthcare Standards for Wales. Renal Networks with all stakeholders Renal Advisory Group working with the Renal Networks and Health Solutions Wales March 2009 1.5 (b) Routinely monitor and report annually to Networks on compliance with the National Service Framework standards of care using the self assessment tool 1.5 (c) Prepare all Wales summary of compliance based on Network level reports HCW, LHBs and Trusts Starting April 2010 for 2009-10 financial year Renal Advisory Group Starting June 2010 for 2009-10 financial year 5
