SIG016- TEC Health, Response, Integration

Objective

To support the integration of TEC services into Integrated Care Systems (ICS) the creation of new standards, guidance and supporting materials, building on the collaboration between TSA and NHSEI. To enhance the role of Responder Services as UCR services become available, and to develop how these services contribute to the overall TEC service wraparound. The group will also focus on how TEC can take a greater and more embedded role within the wider Health and Social Care infrastructure through the adoption of Proactive and Preventative care models and enhanced TEC data sharing arrangements.

Background

The Special Interest Group has been developed in response to TSA’s collaboration with NHSEI and the development of Integrated Care Systems (ICS).

Nationally, ambulance services receive around 2,600 calls every day from telecare teams. It’s estimated that if 1% of calls were more appropriately directed to a different pathway it would cut ambulance call outs by 900 per day. This would not only take the pressure off stretched emergency services, but also mean vulnerable people receive help swiftly – potentially preventing the need for more intensive support.
