Abstract

Background/aims: Business cases are increasingly used to describe challenges and potential solutions for healthcare. In Wales, a strategic approach has been agreed to improve Advance & Future Care Planning options for patients with advanced illness. This approach ensures that individuals & those close to them, can have conversations about future care preferences, outlining what can happen when they are less well & less able to communicate. At present, such specifications are recorded on paper forms Methods: NHS Wales commissioned a specialist digital health consultancy to develop an Outline Business Case (OBC) to support Welsh Government’s End of Life Care Plan providing: An options appraisal of possible solutions, aligned to best practice five-case model guidance Identification of a preferred option with clearly articulated benefits Data from a national conference, together with stakeholder meetings with patients, carers, professionals, charities and government organisations were arranged over a 12 month period, and collated to inform the business case and options appraisal Results: From the data gathered, we present a strategic case for an electronic central advance care planning solution, setting out the case for change. Furthermore, we present the economic case (3 options for delivering the electronic care plan solution including single supplier, multi supplier ‘best of breed’ solution, and in-house developed solution).A commercial case, a financial case, which models the costs over a 7 year period. We also present a management case, which demonstrates the achievability including activities / controls required. Conclusions: Electronic advance care planning solutions will be beneficial to communities and individuals, who will have more opportunity to access their existing Future Care Plans online. It is a prime example of value-based healthcare harnessing connectivity and information sharing. For the presentation, we will also make available a narrative summary of this business case to interested participants
