Supporting integration through new roles and working across boundaries
Supporting integration through new roles and working across boundaries
This report looks at the evidence on new roles and ways of spanning organisational workforce boundaries to deliver integrated health and social care. Commissioned by NHS Employers and the Local Government Association, it finds increasing focus on roles which facilitate co-ordination and management of care, development of existing roles to increase the skill-mix and enable the provision of more holistic care, and a limited number of truly innovative roles, the most notable being care navigators and community facilitators, enablers or link workers. Given that many of the skills required for integrated care already exist within the workforce, it suggests the central question is how to use those skills more effectively to support boundary-spanning activities.

There were an estimated 1.09 million hospital admissions2 3 for which an alcohol-related disease, injury or condition was the primary reason for admission or a secondary diagnosis, in 2014-15, compared to 1.06 million in 2013-14.
The figures, released today by the Health and Social Care Information Centre1, also show that men account for the majority of these admissions (65 per cent) compared to women (35 per cent).
There has been a rise in the number of drugs prescribed4 for the treatment of alcohol dependence. The number of prescription items dispensed in England in 2015 was 196,000which is nearly double the number ten years ago, when it was 109,000. The total Net Ingredient Cost (NIC) for items prescribed for alcohol dependence in 2015 was £3.93 million - more than double the level ten years ago when it was £1.52 million.
