Strategic intelligence monitor on personal health systems, phase 3 (SIMPHS3) : SPARRA (United Kingdom), case study report

SPARRA/ACP is an integrated care management approach based on two main components: the predictive model "Scottish Patient at Risk of Readmission and Admission" (SPARRA) which aims to measure the risk of hospital admission of a targeted patient and an Anticipatory Care Planning (ACP) approach which designs, implements and monitors the most suitable intervention according to the degree of hospital admission risk of the targeted patient. Together they form the SPARRA/ACP Patient-Centric Integrated Care approach that is being implemented in several communities in Scotland, promoted by the Scottish Government and NHS Scotland as part of its strategy of national health care system renewal.
