NHS Case Study – Population Health Approach to Primary Care (Confirmed)

A team of health care professionals at Kumar Medical Centre in Slough is using the new segmentation tool within the Johns Hopkins ACG® System to help ensure patients are seen at the right time, by the right health care professional for the right amount of time.

The Patient Need Groups (PNGs) tool categorises individuals based on the overall complexity of their health, considering all their diseases and conditions. The PNGs are clinically meaningful, mutually exclusive, and hierarchical, with the population divided into 11 distinct categories (PNG 1-11). By understanding the patient's health background through the PNGs, Kumar Medical Centre has integrated this tool into their triage process and redesigned their QOF process based on complexity.
