This research examined the effectiveness of two integrated care models (Salford Together and South Somerset Symphony Programme) in terms of patient experience, generic health status (EQ-5D); and total costs of secondary care.
Both intervention sites showed an increase in total costs of secondary care (approximately £74 per registered patient per year in Salford, £45 in South Somerset) and cost per user of secondary care (£130–138 per person per year). There were no statistically significant effects on health status or patient experience of care. There was a more apparent short-term negative effect on measured outcomes in South Somerset, in terms of increased costs and avoidable emergency admissions, but these reduced over time.

A virtual healthcare model to improve the care of patients living with chronic kidney disease through provision of an integrated service between primary and specialist care, reducing waiting times and unnecessary hospital visits. Consultants can access patients’ GP records in real time to provide GPs with advice and guidance and a written comprehensive care management plan.

North London Forensic consortium

Part of the New Care models programme for specialised mental health services, the North London Forensic consortium went live in April. It comprises of five trusts - Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust (lead commissioner), Central and North West London FT, North East London FT, East London FT and West London Mental Health Trust.
According to Mark Landy talking to HSJ (3 May 2018) the consortium aims to bring back half of the 110 forensic patients currently out of area over the next two years and stop patients being sent out of area when a provider does not have a bed available.
