Principles and Characteristics for a local Accountable Care Model

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To consider the principles and characteristics of an accountable care model in East Sussex

Decisions:

3.1       The Cabinet considered a report by the Director of Adult Social Care and Health

3.2       It was RESOLVED to:

            1) agree to the development of the detailed full business case for Accountable Care in East Sussex, which will be reported to Cabinet in November 2016; and

 

            2) agree the proposed principles and characteristics for a local Accountable Care model as set out in the report as the framework for evaluating the options

 

Reason

 

3.2       The initial phase of work highlights that there is strong agreement and appetite across our local system to explore and design an Accountable Care model appropriate for East Sussex, as the best way to achieve the best possible outcomes with the resources we have jointly available.  Senior officers and clinicians from East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust and Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust have participated in initial discussions alongside the Council, Eastbourne, Hailsham and Seaford and Hastings and Rother Clinical Commissioning Groups, and the Local Medical Committee and Healthwatch East Sussex have also been involved.  There has also been initial endorsement from the Health and Wellbeing Board and East Sussex Better Together Scrutiny Board.
