This paper sets out a strategic approach to prevention and early intervention for H&F that seeks to reduce reliance on long term care. There are 3 key elements:
1) A targeted case-finding approach that identifies people with long term conditions and particular risk indicators that mean they are likely to become high cost users of health and social care services without specific early interventions.
2) Extending reablement to become the standard offer so that all adults are supported to achieve optimal independence.
3) An innovative
approach to establishing a self-financing model of low-support for
anyone who needs help.
