    CATCH – The Common Approach To Children’s Health

    24th November 2017
    0

    Addressing the inappropriate use of NHS services when self-care would be more appropriate, the CATCH app gives parents information when they need and want it, via smartphone or tablet. 

    “Often, [parents’] anxieties stem from not knowing what else to do when their child is ill. The CATCH app offers guidance and reassurance for parents to provide self-care for their children at home, without visiting the hospital.”
    Dr Kilroy, Lead Clinician for Emergency Medicine, Macclesfield Hospital

    Summary:
    CATCH gives parents appropriate and understandable information when they need and want it, in a timely and measured way, via smartphone or tablet. Support and clinical knowledge is aggregated from an area’s GPs and public health department, building a region-specific, tailored, trusted resource that parents can re-use, giving them the confidence to look after their children at home. CATCH curates this local health information and articles from trusted sources, such as NHS Choices.

    Challenge/problem identified:
    The Common Approach To Children’s Health – or CATCH – addresses the inappropriate use of NHS services, when self-care would be more appropriate.

    Impact:

    • 28% reduction in under five-year-old’s Guidance-Only A&E attendances reported by Eastern Cheshire CCG in winter 2016/2017 compared to 2015/16
    • 47% of users deciding self-care over an A&E visit*
    • 64% of users deciding self-care over a GP visit*
    • 91% of users would recommend CATCH to a friend or relative*

    *Based on 284 responses from user satisfaction survey conducted by Eastern Cheshire CCG.
