LLR Case Study

The Johns Hopkins ACG^® System in Action:

How One ICS Addressed Health Inequalities, Measured Need
at a Patient Level and Developed a Better Funding Model

The only reliable way to understand patient need is to properly analyse patient-level data.

In this case study, learn how Dr. David Shepherd and colleagues at Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) Integrated Care System (ICS) used the Johns Hopkins ACG System to develop an impactful, new funding model that more closely aligns with population need.

This new funding model has provided many benefits to patients and clinicians alike, including:

1. Identifying and adjusting for variation in clinical need which the old funding formula was unable to do
2. Addressing the ‘cream skimming’ that occurs under the old formula to more appropriately fund practices that attract more complex patients
3. Providing a significant adjustment for deprivation

Armed with insights from the Johns Hopkins ACG System, LLR created a funding model that provides a vehicle for tackling health inequalities in a way that has not been possible in primary care in England until now.
