Benefits realisation - good projects in public sector

Submitted by HugoM on Sat, 06/30/2007 - 17:00

Benefits Cycle for Patients/Service Users, Staff & OrganisationsBenefits Management is a key priority for all public sector projects, and none more so than NHS. With nearly £100billion of investment, we MUST deliver value for money. This section focuses on what you need to change to realise benefits, and how to plan it. . . .

Benefits Cycle for Patients/Service Users, Staff & OrganisationsKnowing what you want to achieve and how to get there is vital to any project: but most people already do that. So how come so many projects fail to improve service, or worse, fail altogether?
Benefits planning is a series of facilitated workshops which unpicks the motivations and drivers and prepares a plan to deliver each stakeholder’s benefits along with the shared benefits, and a pragmatic process to measure and report benefits. This is about more than money – delivering better patient experience, staff opportunities, clinical outcomes, population health are all addressed and the output is a “case for investment” which appeals to the heart as well as the head.

Life in the YearsMost healthcare providers, in UK the same as everywhere else, get paid for each activity they do.  If someone needs care, they get paid.  If someone is well, they don’t.  So there isn’t much incentive (for the healthcare provider) to keep people well, even though it is much better for the person, much better for the nation, and much lower cost.  Minney.org Ltd is working with one CCG to generate enthusiasm and involvement, and the results are fairly successful….

Commissioning Innovation

As we race forwards into clinical commissioning, there are lessons to be learnt from other people.  The latest book “The Innovator’s Prescription: A Disruptive Solution for Health Care” by Christensen, Grossman and Hwang points to some things we need to take account of. It makes good reading . . .

Getting GPs involved in GP Commissioning

Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG)GPs know the most about the patients registered with them, and have the biggest incentives to innovate and to commission better services. So why aren't they embracing Clinical Commissioning and using it to improve healthcare right across the country?

It could be any of a number of reasons, and we believe it's about understanding.  What's more, with our experience of doing exactly this (supporting GPs to get engaged), we can demonstrate how we've made a difference, and how it could work for other CCGs.

Clinical Commissioning

Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG), the organisations that will commission  healthcare for nearly 60million people across England at a value of around £70billion, are beginning to take shape.
