Local intelligence as a tool for clinicians and commissioners

to improve outcomes for our patients

Why should we use this CVD Intelligence Pack

The high risk conditions for cardiovascular disease (CVD) - such as hypertension, atrial fibrillation, high cholesterol,

diabetes, non-diabetic hyperglycaemia and chronic kidney disease - are the low hanging fruit for prevention in the NHS

because in each case late diagnosis and suboptimal treatment is common and there is substantial variation. High

quality primary care is central to improving outcomes in CVD because primary care is where much prevention and

most diagnosis and treatment is delivered.

This cardiovascular intelligence pack is a powerful resource for stimulating local conversations about quality

improvement in primary care. Across a number of vascular conditions, looking at prevention, diagnosis, care and

outcomes, the data allows comparison between clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and between practices.

This is not about performance management because we know that variation can have more than one interpretation.

But patients have a right to expect that we will ask challenging questions about how the best practices are achieving

the best, what average or below average performers could do differently, and how they could be supported to perform

as well as the best.

How to use the CVD intelligence pack

The intelligence pack has several sections – CVD prevention, hypertension, stroke and atrial fibrillation (AF), diabetes,

kidney disease, heart disease and heart failure. Each section has one slide of narrative that makes the case and asks

some questions. This is followed by data for a number of indicators, each with benchmarked comparison between

CCGs and between practices.

Use the pack to identify where there is variation that needs exploring and to start asking challenging questions about

where and how quality could be improved. We suggest you then develop a local action plan for quality improvement –

this might include establishing communities of practice to build clinical leadership, systematic local audit to get a better

understanding of the gaps in care and outcomes, and developing new models of care that mobilise the wider primary

care team to reduce burden on general practice.

Data and methods

This slide pack compares the clinical commissioning group (CCG) with CCGs in its strategic transformation plan (STP) and

England. Where a CCG is in more than one STP, it has been allocated to the STP with the greatest geographical or

population coverage. The slide pack also compares the CCG to its 10 most similar CCGs in terms of demography, ethnicity

and deprivation. For information on the methodology used to calculate the 10 most similar CCGs please go to:

http://www.england.nhs.uk/resources/resources-for-ccgs/comm-for-value/

The 10 most similar CCGs to NHS Blackpool CCG are:

NHS Knowsley CCG

NHS Sunderland CCG

NHS South Sefton CCG

NHS South Tees CCG

NHS South Tyneside CCG

NHS Southend CCG

NHS St Helens CCG

NHS Wirral CCG

NHS Stoke On Trent CCG

NHS Stockport CCG

The majority of data used in the packs is taken from the 2015/16 Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF). Where this is

not the case, this is indicated in the slide. All GP practices that were included in the 2015/16 QOF are included. Full

source data are shown in the appendix.

For the majority of indicators, the additional number of people that would be treated if all practices were to achieve as well

as the average of the top achieving practices is calculated. This is calculated by taking an average of the intervention rates

(ie the denominator includes exceptions) for the best 50% of practices in the CCG and applying this rate to all practices in

the CCG. Note, this number is not intended to be proof of a realisable improvement; rather it gives an indication of the

magnitude of available opportunity.


Benchmarking is helpful because it highlights

variation.

Of course it has long been acknowledged that some

variation is inevitable in the healthcare and outcomes

experienced by patients.

But John Wennberg, who has championed research

into clinical variation over four decades and who

founded the pioneering Dartmouth Atlas of Health

Care, concluded that much variation is unwarranted –

ie it cannot be explained on the basis of illness,

medical evidence, or patient preference, but is

accounted for by the willingness and ability of doctors

to offer treatment.

Benchmarking may not be conclusive. Its strength lies not in

the answers it provides but in the questions it generates for

CCGs and practices.

For example:

1. How much variation is there in detection, management,

exception reporting and outcomes?

2. How many people would benefit if average performers

improved to the level of the best performers?

3. How many people would benefit if the lowest performers

matched the achievement of the average?

4. What are better performers doing differently in the way

they provide services in order to achieve better outcomes?

5. How can the CCG support low and average performers to

help them match the achievement of the best?

6. How can we build clinical leadership to drive quality

improvement?

A key observation about benchmarking data is

that it does not tell us why there is variation. Some of the

variation may be explained by population or case mix and

some may be unwarranted. We will not know unless we

investigate.

The variation that exists between

demographically similar CCGs and

between practices illustrates the local

potential to improve care and outcomes

for our patients

There are legitimate reasons for exception reporting. But …….

Excepting patients from indicators puts them at risk of not receiving optimal care and of having worse outcomes. It is also

likely to increase health inequalities. The substantial variation seen in exception reporting for some indicators suggests

that some practices are more effective than others at reaching their whole population. Benchmarking exception reporting

allows us to identify the practices that need support to implement the strategies adopted by low excepting practices.

Why does variation matter?

7

Cluster methodology: your most similar practices

Each practice has been grouped on the basis of demographic data into

15 national clusters. These demographic factors cover:

• deprivation (practice level)

• age profile (% < 5, % < 18, % 15-24, % 65+, % 75+, % 85+)

• ethnicity (% population of white ethnicity)

• practice population side

These demographic factors closely align with those used to calculate

the “Similar 10 CCGs”.

These demographic factors have been used to compare practices with

similar populations to account for potential factors which may drive

variation. Some local interpretation will need to be applied to the data

contained within the packs as practices with significant outlying

population characteristics e.g. university populations or care home

practices will need further contextualisation.

Further detailed information including full technical methodology and a

full PDF report on each of the 15 practice clusters is available here:

The performance of every practice in the GP cluster contributes to the average of the top performing

50% of practices to form a benchmark.

The difference between the benchmark and the selected practices is displayed on this chart. The benchmark will

most likely be different for different practices as they are in different clusters, so the difference is the key measure

here. If the practice performance is below the benchmark, the difference is applied to the denominator plus

exceptions to demonstrate potential gains on a practice basis. The potential gains on a CCG basis are calculated

based on the difference between the top 5 performing closest CCGs and the selected CCG, applied to the

denominator plus exceptions.

CVD prevention


CVD prevention “The NHS needs a radical upgrade

in prevention if it is to be

sustainable”

5 year Forward View 2014

The size of the prevention problem

• 2/3 of adults are obese or overweight

• 1/3 of adults are physically inactive

• average smoking prevalence is 17% but is much

higher in some communities

• in high risk conditions like atrial fibrillation, high blood

pressure, diabetes and high ten year CVD risk score,

up to half of all people do not receive preventive

treatments that are known to be highly effective at

preventing heart attacks and strokes

• around 90% of people with familial hypercholestero-

laemia are undiagnosed and untreated despite their

average 10 year reduction in life expectancy

This is because England faces an epidemic of largely

preventable non-communicable diseases, such as heart

disease and stroke, cancer, Type 2 diabetes and liver disease.

The Global Burden of Disease Study (next slide) shows us that

the leading causes of premature mortality include diet,

tobacco, obesity, raised blood pressure, physical inactivity and

raised cholesterol. The radical upgrade in prevention needs

population-level approaches. But it also needs interventions in

primary care for individuals with behavioural and clinical risk

factors.

burden on general practice.

The NHS Health Check is a systematic approach to

identifying local people at high risk of CVD, offering

behaviour change support and early detection of the

high risk but often undiagnosed conditions such as

hypertension, atrial fibrillation, CKD, diabetes and pre-

diabetes.

Question: What proportion of our local eligible

population is receiving the NHS Health Check and how

effective is the follow-up management of their clinical

risk factors in primary care?

Estimated smoking prevalence (QOF) by GP practice

Note: This method is thought to be a reasonably

robust method in estimating smoking prevalence

for the majority of GP practices. However,

caution is advised for extreme estimates of

smoking prevalence and those with high

numbers of smoking status not recorded and

exceptions.


• 38,207 people who are recorded as

smokers in NHS Blackpool CCG

• GP practice range: 18.3% to 49.7%

Hypertension


16

The Missing Millions On average, each CCG in England has 26,000 residents with

undiagnosed hypertension – these individuals are unaware of

their increased cardiovascular risk and are untreated.

What might help? • support practices to share audit data and systematically

identify gaps and opportunities for improved detection and

management of hypertension

• work with practices and local authorities to maximise

uptake and follow up in the NHS Health Check

• support access to self-test BP stations in waiting rooms

and to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

• commission community pharmacists to offer blood

pressure measurement, diagnosis and management

support, including support for adherence to medication

What questions should we ask in our CCG? 1. for each indicator how wide is the variation in achievement

and exception reporting?

2. how many people would benefit if all practices performed

as well as the best?

3. how can we support practices who are average or below

average to perform as well as the best in:

• detection of hypertension

• management of hypertension What do we know? • at least half of all heart attacks and strokes are

caused by high blood pressure and it is a major risk

factor for chronic kidney disease and cognitive decline

• treatment is very effective – every 10mmHg reduction

in systolic blood pressure lowers risk of heart attack

and stroke by 20%

• despite this 4 out of 10 adults with hypertension, over

5 and a half million people in England, remain

undiagnosed

• and even when the condition is identified, treatment is

often suboptimal, with blood pressure poorly

controlled in about 1 out of 3 individuals

Hypertension

High blood pressure is common and costly • it affects around a quarter of all adults

• the NHS costs of hypertension are around £2bn

• social costs are probably considerably higher


The Global Burden of Disease

Study confirmed high blood pressure as

a leading cause of premature death

Stroke


27

Only a half of people with known

AF who then suffer a stroke have been

anticoagulated before their stroke.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of

premature death and disability. Stroke is

devastating for individuals and families, and

accounts for a substantial proportion of health

and social care expenditure.

What might help? • increase opportunistic pulse checking especially in over 65s

• support practices to share audit data and systematically

identify gaps and opportunities for improved detection and

management of AF - eg GRASP-AF

• promote systematic use of CHADS-VASC and HASBLED to

ensure those at high risk are offered stroke prevention

• promote systematic use of Warfarin Patient Safety Audit Tool

to ensure optimal time in therapeutic range for people on

warfarin

• develop local consensus statement on risk-benefit balance for

anticoagulants, including the newer treatments (NOACs)

• work with practices and local authorities to maximise uptake

and clinical follow up in the NHS Health Check

• commission community pharmacists to offer pulse checks,

anticoagulant monitoring, and support for adherence to

medication

What questions should we ask in our CCG? 1. for each indicator how wide is the variation in

detection, treatment and exception reporting?

2. how many people would benefit if all practices

performed as well as the best?

3. how can we support practices who are average

and below average to perform as well as the

best in detection of atrial fibrillation and stroke

prevention with anticoagulation.

Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of stroke

by a factor of 5, and strokes caused by AF are

often more severe, with higher mortality and

greater disability.

Anticoagulation reduces the risk of stroke in

people with AF by two thirds.

Despite this, AF is underdiagnosed and under

treated: up to a third of people with AF are

unaware they have the condition and even when

diagnosed inadequate treatment is common –

large numbers do not receive anticoagulants or

have poor anticoagulant control.

Atrial fibrillation observed prevalence compared to expected prevalence by CCG


Note: This slide compares the prevalence of

atrial fibrillation recorded in QOF in 2015/16 to

the estimated prevalence of atrial fibrillation,

taken from National Cardiovascular Intelligence

Network estimates produced in 2017. The

estimates were developed by applying age-sex

specific prevalence rates as reported by Norberg

et al (2013) to GP population estimates from

NHS Digital. Estimates reported are adjusted for

age and sex of the local population.

• the ratio of those diagnosed with atrial

fibrillation versus those expected to

have atrial fibrillation is 0.77. This

compares to 0.7 for England

• this suggests that 77% of people with

atrial fibrillation have been diagnosed.

Diabetes


Type 2 Diabetes in numbers • diagnosed prevalence – 3.0 million

• undiagnosed diabetes – 900,000

• non-diabetic hyperglycaemia (high risk of diabetes) – 5 million

What might help • ensure universal participation by practices in the National

Diabetes Audit (NDA)

• benchmark practice level data from the NDA – and support

practices to explore variation

• increase support for patient education and shared

management

• maximise uptake of the NHS Health Check to aid detection of

diabetes and Non Diabetic Hyperglycaemia

• maximise uptake of the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme

What questions should we ask in our CCG? 1. for each indicator how wide is the variation in achievement and

exception reporting?

2. how many people would benefit if all practices performed as well

as the best?

3. how can we support practices who are average and below

average to perform as well as the best in:

• detection of diabetes

• delivery of the 8 care processes and achievement of the 3

treatment targets

• identification and management of Non-diabetic hyperglycaemia

Type 2 diabetes is often preventable People at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes

can be identified through the NHS Health Check,

and the disease can be prevented or delayed in

many through intensive behaviour change support.

Complications of diabetes are preventable Diabetes is a major cause of premature death and

disability and greatly increases the risk of heart

disease and stroke, kidney failure, amputations and

blindness. 80% of NHS spending on diabetes goes

on managing these complications, most of which

could be prevented. There are 8 essential care

processes, in addition to retinal screening, that

together substantially reduce complication rates.

Despite this, around a half of people with diabetes

do not receive all 8 care processes, and there is

widespread variation between CCGs and practices

in levels of achievement

Kidney


Chronic Kidney Disease can

progress to kidney failure and it

substantially increases the risk

of heart attack and stroke.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is common.

It is one of the commonest co-morbidities and affects a third

of people over 75. In 2010 it was estimated to cost the NHS

around £1.5bn. Average length of stay in hospital tends to

be longer and outcomes are considerably worse:

approximately 7,000 excess strokes and 12,000 excess

heart attacks occur each year in people with CKD

compared to those without.

Individuals with CKD are also at much higher risk of

developing acute kidney injury when they have an

intercurrent illness such as pneumonia What might help • Support practices to share audit data and systematically

identify gaps and opportunities for improved detection

and management of CKD.

• Promote uptake of and follow up from the NHS Health

Check to aid detection and management of CKD

• Offer local training and education in the detection and

management of CKD


achievement and exception reporting?

2. how many people would benefit if all practices

performed as well as the best?

3. how can we support practices who are average and

below average to perform as well as the best in:

• detection of CKD

• more systematic delivery of evidence based care

Late diagnosis of CKD is common. Around a third of people with CKD are undiagnosed. More

opportunistic testing and improved uptake of the NHS

Health Check will increase detection rates.

Evidence based guidance from NICE highlights CVD

risk reduction, good blood pressure control and

management of proteinuria as essential steps to reduce the

risk of cardiovascular events and progression to kidney

failure. Despite this there is often significant variation

between practices in achievement and exception reporting.

Note: This slide compares the prevalence of CKD

recorded in QOF in 2015/16 to the expected

prevalence of CKD produced by the University of

Southampton in 2011. A small number of CCGs

have a ratio greater than 1. It is unlikely that all

people with CKD will be diagnosed in any CCG

and therefore a ratio greater than 1 suggests that

the figures are underestimating the true CKD

prevalence in the area. These ratios should be

taken as an indication of the comparative scale of

undiagnosed CKD rather than absolute figures.

• the ratio of those diagnosed with

chronic kidney disease versus those

expected to have chronic kidney

disease is 1.17. This compares to

Heart


Coronary Heart Disease is one of the principal causes of

premature death and disability. The key elements of management for

an individual who has already had a heart attack or angina are

symptom control and secondary prevention of further cardiovascular

events and premature mortality. There is robust evidence to support the

use of anti-platelet treatment, statins, beta-blockers and angiotensin

converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers. There is

also robust evidence to support good control of blood pressure. Each of

these interventions is incentivised in QOF but variation in achievement

and exception reporting at practice level shows that there is often

considerable potential for improving management and outcomes.

What might help 1. roll out of GRASP-Heart Failure audit tool

that identifies people with heart failure who

are undiagnosed or under treated

2. education for health professionals to

promote evidence based management of

CHD and high quality measurement of

blood pressure

3. ensure access to rapid access diagnostic

clinics and specialist support for

management of angina and heart failure

4. ensure access to cardiac rehab for

individuals with CHD and heart failure


achievement and exception reporting?

2. how many people would benefit if all

practices performed as well as the best?

3. how can we support practices who are

average and below average to perform as

well as the best in:

• more systematic delivery of evidence

based care for people with CHD

• improved detection and management

of heart failure

Heart failure is a common and an important complication of

coronary heart disease and other conditions. Appropriate treatment

including up-titration of ace inhibitors and beta blockers in heart failure

due to LVSD can significantly improve symptom control and quality of

life, and improve outcomes for patients. Despite this, around a quarter

of people with heart failure are undetected and untreated. And amongst

those who are diagnosed, there is significant variation in the quality of

care.

Management of Heart Disease


Premature death and disability in people with

CHD can be reduced significantly by systematic

evidence based management in primary care

Public Health England exists to protect and improve the nation’s health and wellbeing, and reduce health inequalities.

We do this through world-class science, knowledge and intelligence, advocacy, partnerships and the delivery of

specialist public health services. We are an executive agency of the Department of Health, and are a distinct delivery

organisation with operational autonomy to advise and support government, local authorities and the NHS in a

professionally independent manner.
