Our Experience in CHC, AACC, and Fast Track Reviews:
Our Review activity provides insight into the consistency of eligibility decisions across an Integrated Care System, providing assurance and indications of variation.
Spend is incurred where individuals who are supported through the Funded Nursing Care Contribution become eligible for full Continuing Healthcare, or where needs have increased.
Efficiencies are made when individuals who are fully funded through Continuing Healthcare have presenting needs that can be met through Funded Nursing Care Contributions or alternative support arrangements, or where there is an evidenced eligibility change, or where the level of care package can be safely changed.
Our Clinical Reviews Include (but not limited to)
Fast Track Reviews
CHC and AACC 3-month Reviews
CHC and AACC Annual Reviews
1:1 Care Reviews
Joint Funded Reviews
Retrospective Reviews
Our Review Experience
Our experience in conducting CYP Continuing Care
Identification of the appropriate funding responsibilities based upon Childrens Act and EHCP duties, examination of lower cost alternatives and innovative use of personal budgets. We can identify early signs of unwarranted cost drivers including alternatives to the provision of registered nurse care. A fundamental element of our work is to confirm that the child’s support plan is personalised, maximises life opportunities and is equitable and proportionate.
Short-term 1:1 arrangements often extend beyond their necessary duration.
Lack of comprehensive evidence of need and/or benefit in many 1:1 arrangements.
Overly restrictive care can exacerbate individual needs and anxieties.
Inconsistency in the supply of commissioned 1:1 care.
Average cost of a 1:1 arrangement is £2,400 per week (£124,800 per annum).
Less restrictive options can enhance wellbeing and provide a therapeutic environment at considerably less cost.
