This Invitation to Tender provides information pertaining to the procurement for the Exercise and Telephone Follow Up Proof of Concept. The purpose of this procurement is to secure a Service Provider to deliver the Proof of Concept to the patients of Shropshire CCG. There is significant national evidence that frail older patients staying in acute hospital beds longer than their medical need for specialist acute services requires is detrimental to their potential outcomes as it can lead to decompensation and the loss of previous levels of mobility and independence. This service model is based on the results of a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society and carried out by Queensland University, Australia, which demonstrated a 20% reduction in hospital admissions for patients enrolled on a 24-week exercise and telephone follow-up programme. Exercise programmes in older people are recognized as being beneficial in reducing falls and depression, while improving balance, walking capacity and independence in activity of daily living. The aim is to use the principles of the Australian research study to test proof of concept and inform future service developments and quality improvement programmes. The objective is to understand if the ExTel model improves the quality of life for people over 65 years of age in Shropshire and reduce demand on acute services through the early introduction of a comprehensive nursing and physiotherapy assessment and individually tailored exercise program in hospital and nurse conducted home visit and telephone follow up on discharge for 24 weeks.
