Measuring the Benefits of the Emergency Care Practitioner
"Measuring the Benefits" looks at the evidence for urgent care practitioners caring for patients effectively. It compares paramedics and advanced paramedics (in research from USA, Canada, Australia and Europe) with advanced nurse practitioners and ECPs (in UK pilots). The evidence is overwhelming - there are no shortcuts to delivering better care. Paramedics and advanced paramedics don't have the confidence nor training to diagnose, treat and refer a significant number of patients away from Accident & Emergency safely; result is they aren't cost-effective. More highly trained practitioners can provide immediate care and reduce the further care that patients require (as well as reducing the number of times a patient is asked the same questions, time in the system getting nothing done, transport, etc) to such an extent that they pay for their extra training in 2 years. This report also presents the first evidence that ECPs reduce admissions to hospital, which dramatically changes their cost-effectiveness from an RoI of around 2 years to one closer to 18 months on the basis of two common conditions.

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….
