Economic & workforce modelling: Resource and economic analysis of urgent and emergency care in London
Keywords:
As part of the wider project examining options for redesign of emergency and unscheduled care for NHS across London, I prepared the detailed modelling (workforce, financial, business change).
This involved tackling the requirements from both ends and using two tools for triangulation:
how many people are coming forwards with what requirements, and what care pathways would it be possible to use
based on the current numbers of staff of each type and their competencies, how much would each pathway get used and what implications does that have for transition and for costs
and tools:
MS Excel for dynamic steady state modelling year by year, forecasting activity, pathway use, requirements for staff and resource use, staff training required, staff in training
cross-referenced with Care Pathway Simulator (CPS) workflow modelling based on patients entering the system at random in line with the current peaks, troughs and cycles of patients through the 24 hr, week and seasons; confirming for different staff and competence mixes that the results would agree with those predicted by MS Excel models
The results of this study represented a blueprint for real change, and although only the conclusions formed part of Prof Darzi's review of Urgent and Emergency Care in London (part of "Reform for London"), individual organisations have based their training and planning on the detail

It's easy to assume that all of our decisions are purely rational, but they rarely if ever are rational. And they always have consequences for others, usually consequences that we think we could not have predicted.
The Ten Commandments apply just as firmly in each aspect of our daily life as they apply to the whole of our lives. I'm a management consultant, and on this page I explain how the first five of the Ten Commandments apply to management consulting and professional services.
Most 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….
