Research summary
TICC will create systematic change in health and social care, providing services better suited to our ageing population addressing holistic needs. It will present a methodology to overcome blocking points in transferring socially innovative service models from one area to another. This will be tested via the implementation of the Buurtzorg integrated care at home model (http://bit.ly/2bCQRLG: self-managing teams of 12 staff working at neighbourhood level handling every aspect of care & business, significantly reduced back office, simple IT & coaches rather than managers, providing\nbetter outcomes for people, lower costs/unplanned hospital admissions & consistent care)into new geographic & cultural contexts. TICC will enable other health/social care organisations to implement new ideas; increase staff productivity/recruitment/retention/patient satisfaction and decrease costs/emergency admissions/staff absence & will aim to postpone the moment when residential/end of life care is needed.
