| Annotation | The purpose of this second annual report of the Health and Social Care Change Agent Team (CAT) is to present best practice guidance and examples of good practice. The Team's broad remit is to support implementation of wider aspects of the National Service Framework for Older People (NSF). The report covers: assessing needs: the care process and pathway; improving capacity and matching needs to services; better commissioning and securing capacity through collaborative working; and partnerships and delivering change through a whole systems approach. Examples of good practice illustrate work on: the single assessment process (SAP); discharge planning; reimbursement (for delayed discharges); intermediate care; mental health services for older people; and housing and assistive technology. Appendices include a matrix on activities in all local authorities in England, and a summary of "All change please", Melanie Henwood's independent evaluation of the Change Agent Team. (RH). |
