One Wirral CIC has launched a ground-breaking diabetes prehabilitation service to reduce surgery postponements, tackle waiting lists, and improve postoperative outcomes for patients. The service uses population health tools and analysis of hospital waiting lists to identify and support those most at risk of having surgery postponed. However, the service will now be extended across Wirral to all Primary Care Networks. The diabetes prehabilitation service uses the Cheshire & Merseyside Combined Intelligence for Population Health Action (CIPHA) population health management system, on Graphnet Health’s CareCentric platform. Once identified, patients are contacted within 48 hours and booked in for an appointment with a diabetes prehabilitation health coach, in a local community setting, such as a library.
