Budgets will be under increasing pressure as the Government seeks to derive better value from its investment in the NHS. Passing on this pressure in the form of arbitrary cut-backs may be a false economy with the unwelcome side effects of patient dissatisfaction, poor staff morale, and difficulty in meeting performance targets.
A small improvement in the highest cost areas will yield disproportionately large savings. And if this is achieved as part of a service improvement programme patient care may improve too.
Our combined approach, encompassing Primary Care and Acute Trusts, can be the most beneficial of all.
- A proactive approach to care planning for high demand patients can yield substantial savings from avoidable treatment costs
- Considering the patient care experience as a continuous process across primary, secondary and social care agencies allows more radical improvement to be made
- Predicted improvements can be clearly defined and implementation can be planned accordingly
