Description

Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (OCCG) is seeking to engage with providers of MSK services in advance of a forthcoming tender for a new integrated MSK Assessment, Triage and Treatment (MATT) Service within Oxfordshire. OCCG's MSK services are currently provided under different contracts with various providers that have been commissioned at different times and have not been designed to work together within an integrated model of care.

The vision
OCCG is looking to create a service in which people with musculoskeletal conditions can access high quality, effective and timely advice, assessment, diagnosis and treatment to enable them to fulfil their optimum health potential and remain independent. This will be accomplished through systematically planned services, based on the patient's journey and with integrated multidisciplinary working across the health economy.

The proposal - An Integrated Model
The proposed integrated model involves eight key areas of change:

1. Self-management
2. Self- referral
3. Person centred care approach (care planning, shared decision making and patient centred outcomes)
4. Networking with third sector
5. Integrated Information Management system with viewing access for appropriate clinicians and patient
6. Primary and secondary care interface meeting
7. 'One stop shop' Integrating triage and assessment with primary care treatment
8. Oxfordshire spinal pathways to be aligned with Pathfinder national spinal pathways

Scope of service
The MSK service will be for people registered with an Oxfordshire CCG General Practice over 12 months of age and will include:

• Referral, triage and assessment processes
• Patient choice and appointment booking
• Orthopaedics
• Rheumatology
• Podiatry
• Primary Care Physiotherapy
• Specialist Physiotherapy
• Women's Physiotherapy
• Orthotics
• Diagnostics
• Rehabilitative pain management
• Special requirements for patients with a learning disability
• Special requirements for patients with a mental health condition
• Special requirements for patients with congenital physical disability
• Access for patients entering the health system via the falls prevention service
• Access for patients entering the health system via Minor Injuries and Trauma

Exclusions
• Chronic pain management

Note: The values quoted are estimated value per annum

It is currently envisaged that any contract tendered will be for a period of 3 years with an optional extension of a further two years.

OCCG will be holding a provider engagement event on 26th May (afternoon) in Oxford at which OCCG will share its plans and seek comment/answer questions from providers.

If you would like to attend this event please contact akilham@nhs.net to book your place.
