| Annotation | The NHS in England could realise savings of at least £4.4bn a year if it adopted People Powered Health innovations that involve patients, their families and communities more directly in the management of long term health conditions. These savings are based on the most reliable evidence, representing a 7% reduction in terms of reduced A&E attendance, planned and unplanned admissions, and outpatient admissions. This paper considers the costs and benefits of the following areas of practice: More than medicine (new services); People helping people (peer support); Redefining consultations, networks and partnerships; and user co-design and co-delivery. It describes the specific investments required to create services with a People Powered Health approach, and the practical benefits that can be achieved as a result. The paper is intended for leaders, managers and practitioners across the health and social care system. It draws on the experience of the six local teams who took part in People Powered Health, which was led by Nesta and the Innovation Unit from summer 2011 to winter 2012. (RH). |
