Research team from the King’s Fund to visit Pembrokeshire
Pembrokeshire is taking part in an international research project looking at improving co-ordinated care for patients.
The county has been selected as one of five demonstrator sites within the UK to participate in the international research project with the King’s Fund, an independent charity working to improve health and healthcare
Through a UK based comparison of innovative case studies and the AETNA foundation; the research aims to understand the key components of effective models that can be used to deliver care co-ordination in different contexts.
A development day was recently hosted by the Hywel Dda Health Board Pembrokeshire Community Care 'Closer to Home' team in Haverfordwest.
The research team from the King’s Fund carried out staff interviews, observation visits and meetings and the Pembrokeshire organisations, including Shalom and Pembrokeshire Dementia Group, had the opportunity to meet people from the other demonstrator sites who are participating in the research.
The full research findings will be published in September 2013.
Sue Lewis, Pembrokeshire County Director for Hywel Dda Health Board said: “Being a part of this research programme with the King’s Fund will provide us with an opportunity to improve care to some of the most vulnerable people by challenging how we currently deliver services and supporting a culture change where the focus is on providing appropriate care in the most appropriate setting.”
