Barnsley Medicine's Optimisation Service 2024/2025

The Barnsley Medicines Optimisation Team is offering practices the opportunity to opt-in to the Medicine’s Optimisation dashboard and digital patient engagement platform within Eclipse.

The Eclipse BOOMERANG programme can provide your practice with the opportunity to make cost-savings through automated digital engagement for patients eligible for the Primary Care Barnsley Practice Level Medicines Optimisation Scheme 2024-25.

The steps involved in this process are:

Practices complete this pro forma to provide permissions for the programme to be implemented at their practice.
Locally agreed pathways are developed for the medication optimisations and eligible patient groups, to be included onto the Eclipse BOOMERANG dashboard.
A Barnsley Medicines Optimisation Team Member discusses and agrees the switch with the practice to be undertaken.
Eligible patients are sent a text message, with a link to a patient information lander page, which will explain the proposed medication optimisation including the benefits and any important information to be aware of.
Patients are invited to complete a patient questionnaire within NHSConnect.org to express their preferences for the optimisation.
Patient responses are captured, and cohorts are formed within Eclipse according to the action required.
Practices* will carry out the appropriate action for the patient (e.g. switches the medication, discusses with the patient, or documents switch offered and declined) and records this within the system for outcome tracking and cost-saving evaluation.

*Usually a member of the medicines optimisation team.

All defined medicine optimisations and patient engagement materials will be agreed on by the Barnsley Medicines Optimisation Team.

This process will:

Support delivery of the Medicines Optimisation Scheme 2024-25
Improve compliance with regional formulary and preferred medication choice
Reduce workload for practices and prescribers
Improve patient satisfaction
